Sakuria's Rule of Mai of censorship might be a Huge Wall for Kos-Mos i know you guys already talked about it, but it scares me to think this wall can deny Kos-Mos entirely, also i sadly doubt Xenosaga HD or her will be shown in the VGA remember people still asking for characters that are much in the mainstream like Doomguy, Steve, Jonesy i mean sadly it can happen even Lloyd.
I'm not being Negative but its Sakurai's Rule witch i find it stupid but yeah idk if Kos-Mos will appear to us in Smash in the VGA.

Take this how you will, this is real though, happened yesterday.
“Today I also made things in the company, such as a fighter whom hasn’t been known by everybody yet. And I came here after the work has ended.”
So, you can take this as fighter five just not being revealed yet or fighter five is an obscure character. Also, a lot of leakers have confirmed it ain't Doomguy or Steve. Haven't heard a hard deconfirmation on Llyod, but due to the fact no mii fighter costumes from smash 4 have received a promotion through /DLC/ I doubt it'd be him. Any Namco rep besides Lloyd and Heihatchi makes sense though since then they'd just bring back their mii fighter costumes. Personally, I take that as fighter five just not being revealed and that fighter five is someone more obscure like KOS-MOS.

Now, the changes with Mai were more-so CERO than the ERSB actually. Since remember, CERO cares more about the fact if you can upskirt a girl, even if they're Peach and Rosalina where they have long dresses more than Joker using a gun. That said, I think KOS-MOS could have the excuse of technically being a robot character. That said as someone else pointed out, she ain't super exposed like Mai, that said as I've been saying if a Rated T equivalent rating with CERO was what Sakurai was going for Mai wouldn't be out of the game and Female Corrin's thighs wouldn't be censored and we'd be able to upskirt those with dresses I guess. Otherwise, as Bolder said and already did with RE, they can just do some censoring.
Version 1 seems quite easy, extend the leggings and add some black tights or something.
Due to the fact Version 2's only human skin color is on her face, she might be able to get a pass for not being human-looking enough, honestly kind of a Zero Suit situation here IMO.
Quite sure one of the female cameos on the FF stage has a mid-rift exposed so version 3 might be fine other than closing up that boob-window, though lets be honest, KOS-MOS doesn't have as big of a bust as Mythra so hers might be fine.
Version 4, really the same adjustments as RE and 1 would need, you don't really get her boob window unless looking straight up at her from a downwards position so again, that might be passed up on or it might not.
As for those of us who want T-elos to get as an alt of her, I admit it might be impossible since it'd be much more censoring, you'd have to bring up those boots and add tights and bring up the torso-armor down and up so we don't have some pelvis skin and a tiny bit of under-boob being exposed. Essentially you'd have to make T-elos Zero-Suit-ified, but idk, maybe they can figure out a way to get around that issue like saying its a one-piece or something.
As for T-elos RE (while the official art ain't all that good to display it, any renders of her ripped model were too big for smashboards, so... deal with me here) a much simpler job of just adding some tights over that skin going to the panties and skirt she has.
Though, sans perhaps T-elos' Xenosaga design, I believe KOS-MOS and any alts she may have wouldn't really need to be censored or that she can't happen due to design and rating reasons like Mai (which we all know, if CERO didn't care about a girl's bust-size and the fact her panties could be seen, she'd maybe be in Smash). If anything, it's just some minor touch-ups of "Can't let you see panties since CERO is more concerned about a article of clothing than a gun".
