Pretty much what the thread title says: you're gonna be ranking the alt costumes of each character!
Use this as a reference
The baseline tiers goes as this:
S- Crim of the Crim, top of the line. All are fantastic and inspired
A- These are all pretty good, but not quite S-Tier. These are still inspired, but thier not as creative as the S-Tiers
B- These are good, but you feel as if there are some not so good choices or color combinations in there. These get the job done, but there's just something lacking in the variety.
C- Middle of the road. They're not bad, but they are mostly just simple generic pallete swaps that, while they do take some inspiration from their games, they're just... there. Not the best, but not bad either.
D - These are pretty bad. There's a couple of good colors here, but majority are just dull and uninspired. You much prefer the default.
F- Reserved for the worst. All of their alts suck in one way or another, or they barely differentate from the default. You avoid these alts all together.

While I myself prefer to use the provided icons, if you don't want to do that, then Here's a tier list maker

Alright, here is mine, unordered:
S- :ultinkling::ultpokemontrainer::ultvillager::ultpichu::ultbowserjr::ultjigglypuff::ultike::ultwario::ultpikachu:
A-:ultzss::ultwiifittrainer::ultmario::ultness::ultlucas::ultisabelle::ultlink::ultolimar::ultrobin::ultcorrin::ultridley::ultzss::ultshulk::ultmetaknight::ultlittlemac::ultbayonetta:

Not a bad list, but I think you should work on tier definitions. A lot of C tier characters like :ultpalutena::ultkrool::ultrichter: are actually full of references, even if the results aren't good.

Oh, I thought we were ranking the actual alts seperately.
In fact, I'll be ranking them based on their best alts rather than the full altpool

Is that only because of his Big the Cat alt? ;p
I actually love all of them, but the Big the Cat Alt especially. Probably my Favorite Alt in General alongside Animal Skin Snake and Twilight Link.
