I'd like Sakurai flesh out the outfits and colors for each character in Smash Ultimate. We know that what we've seen so far isn't final as Ridley wasn't playable with his Meta Ridley skin, so at this point anything is possible.
I'd like to see a lot more characters have different outfits. There's so much potential. Examples include:
What I'd also like to see, though, is to be able to choose different colors for each outfit, like for Wario's two outfits. So, basically, have the outfit and the color be two separate options. This way, two people can play as the same character in the same outfit but a different color. For example, Link has his classic Tunic as one of his skins, but it appears to only come in green. So you should have the option to pick either the Champion's Tunic or the Tunic of the Wild and then select the color. A way I would suggest would be to use "X" and "Y" to cycle through the colors and "L" and "R" to cycle through the outfits. (That's few enough buttons that it would still work with a single joy-con.)
Now to go a bit further. What I'd really like to see is for them to replace the custom characters with custom looks instead of custom moves. For example, if you were to make a custom Mario you could choose the color for each element of his outfit (Hat, Shirt, Overalls, Shoes). For DK you could choose his fur color, skin color and tie color.
How about you guys? Are you fine with the 8 different colors / skins for each character? Or would you like to see it expanded in some way?

- Mario - Just look at Super Mario Odyssey. Plenty to choose from there.
- Link - Breath of the Wild also has plenty of outfits to choose from.
- Inklings - A plethora of choices for this character as well.
- Samus - Power Suit, Varia Suit, Gravity Suit, Phazon Suit, Light Suit, Dark Suit, Fusion Suit, etc.
- Zero Suit Samus - A lot less to work with here, but at least get the Zero Suit and "Justin Bailey."
- Fox - For characters like Fox you could just make different outfits based off each of their iterations. Starfox 64, Starfox Adventures, Starfox Assault, etc.
- Ness - Normal, PJs, Robo Ness
- Peach - Dress, Mario Kart Outfit, Tennis Outfit, etc.
- Young Link - Link wearing the non-transformation masks from Majora's Mask / Ocarina of Time.
- Toon Link - I never played Tri-Force heroes, but I believe this game has a lot of different outifts.
- Snake - Another character with plenty of source material.
- Mega Man - I think I'd be fine with just lots of different colors, but maybe like an X-styled suit.
