Different Costumes = Moveset Changes?

[EddyBearr]

What would you guys think of that?

Examples:

Mario with a Dr. Mario alternate costume. It changes his fireball from a fireball to a megavitamin.
Peach with a Daisy alternate. It changes something.
Baby Bowser/Bowser Jr. It changes the final smash from "being the Yoshi's Island Boss Bowser through Kamek" to "painting everything with the E Gadd Paintbrush."
I think it'd be quite nifty.

That would be very neat, imagine almost new characters just by changing colors!

But then it makes a different char within another,and that's not how it should be done.
I'm all for changing esthetics like the fireball into Megavitamins but it must keep the exact same properties as a fireball.

Hopefully it's only the aesthetics, not the actual properties of the attack.

I'd say only make the changes cosmetic like Dr. Mario's megavitamin. Then again Megavitamins were different in Melee than Mario's Fireballs.

Sounds like a grip of work.

I've posted an idea like this before, and I think it's the ideal method to make the most of every character slot. I have to say, I like your suggestions for costumes.

I'd back this idea just to get a Protoman costume.

It would take a lot of work, but I sorta like the idea. But keep in mind that if a certain color (such as Dr. Mario) is perceieved stronger than the actual character (mario) itself... we may have some conflict if two smashers who main Dr Mario go against each other... and consider what teams would be like. =P

But I know where your coming from, I kinda felt the same way with Kirby's inhale/copy properties... thinking If Kirby copied Link he should get some sword attacks to replace his smashes, along side the Hero's Bow... and if he copied Sonic his speed should increase... etc.

Just as in teams it can be a "darker" or "lighter variant," the same can be done in normal games. The biggest issue is a fourth option.. But it might be a five player game due to the 5 possible players in wii u, making 4 teams possible.

Only comestic features. If he had a Dr. Mario costume, the megavitamins should have the same effect and properties of the the fireballs.
