I still want orange Mewtwo. I'll give you my firstborn if you add orange Mewtwo. I'll give you both my firstborn and my secondborn if you add orange Mewtwo in armor!
Extreme laughing.
I never understood the aversion to doing a masked man color for the lucas alt, he has a Claus version of his regular outfit, why not the alt?
Yeah, it definitely has awesome potential for another palette swap, it's different enough, and like you said, a Claus version. And even better, there'd still be two more slots for whatever Project M wants. A few people, I think, say it's too spoilery, and it changes the identity of the character too much. I beg to differ. Especially since the trophy for Lucas is pretty spoilery itself I think.
I don't know enough about Lucas and Mother 3 to guess whatever the last two swaps could be, lots of people seem to want a pig outfit though, which could go nicely with the Masked Man pose. I wouldn't be opposed to two new palette swaps.
Here are a few suggestions for new costumes for fighters.
Ness: Robot, EB64 Ness guy
Lucas: Masked Man Claus, Unmasked Pigmask
Sheik: Tetra, Zelda-like
Zelda: NES pallet
Link: Fierce Deity, NES pallet
Toon Link: Skull Kid, Young Link, Spirit Tracks Link, Minish Cap
Gannondorf: Yuga pallet
Mewtwo: Giygas
Pikachu: Mystery Dungeon Scarf
Lucario: Riley Hat
Squirtle: Mystery Dungeon Scarf
Charizard: Ridley-like
Ivysaur: Venusaur-like
Mario: NES pallet, Punch-out referee
Luigi: Dr. Luigi
Bowser: Wedding suit (Paper Mario)
Peach: Ashley-like, Wedding Dress (Paper Mario)
Yoshi: Wool Yoshi
Diddy Kong: Dixie Kong-like
The TL;DR version of that Project M article is basically "our stuff is cool and this is how some of the stuff do", as well as the rules for their costume guidelines, which don't seem to be on the main thread anymore:
- Can't reference a different game outside of their universe,
- Can't change the character identity,
- Should maintain the personality of the character
- Can't drastically change the silhouette of the character, and must still be recognizable as that character,
- No Smash 4 content, copyright infringement, obscenity, etc
Must match the TF2 style.
And most of the characters you mentioned can't have more costumes; Ness, Link, Toon Link, Ganondorf, Mario, and Yoshi.
