IMO costumes should only be costumes, and not skins of completely different characters. At that point it'd just get silly and feel like an over-saturated hack. Colors based on other characters are still fine (like Luigi's purple outfit).

From the silhouettes this seems to be the case, but I expect most requests would go in the other direction.

So let me get this straight. With alt costume you can change your costume during battle? Does that change the moveset as well?

Anyone else think Diddy Kong has the absolute worst alternative costumes in the entire game?

Only the blue one is even somewhat decent. The rest blow chunks of monkey vomit.

I think that was just a special effect for the video.

if you hate the pink costume, you're a bad person and you should feel bad for how bad you are

So no better Claus or Masked man over Lucas?

So does it work like Wario where you can choose between vanilla and Doctor Mario in Team Battle?

Alt costume engine is cool because it assigns moveset tweaks to specific costumes

I imagine not, I don't think they'd want something like one of the costumes being slightly harder to hit than the original, or vice versa.
Yeah, I'm concerned with Mega Lucario's and Mega Charizard's chances of getting in. Lord Ike would be an obviously feasible and desirable costume.

Edit: Somewhat ninja'ed by SB

damn dude there's way too many possibilities with this.

Fusion suit Samus. Party Pika. Mega Pokemon.

Or we could just put everyone in swimwear and make Delfino the only legal stage.

"Breaking news, 2GB SD Card limit has been worked around. This was in development months ago, but we were waiting until the code was completely bug free to release it to the public."
I swear, with everything they've done so far, this sounds like something they'd do.

I agree with this, with the exception of alternate versions of characters, like OOT Link, OOT Young Link and OOT Ganondorf

Also agree with fusion suit samus

Damn, I love how this game constantly upstages every Smash 4 announcement on r/smashbros. Keep it up guys! And by the by, are you working on a thread regarding the potential, and limitations, of the Alt. Engine? I think people our losing their marbles over Lord skins for the FE characters. (PSSST...THAT'S A INCREDIBLE IDEA, PLEASE, WORK ON IT IF IT TICKLES YOUR HACKING FANCY!)
PS: I sound brimming with old fashioned lingo on this most awe inspiring day.

I'm curious... what's the giant difference between the regular costume hacks and alternate costumes if you're going to intend to just texture the character (like FE13 Roy could just be put over Roy in a different costume. In Awakening, he looks like a total Hero, but he'd play the same way, right?) I'm just clarifying here, because I'm totally confused.

But imagine PM adds all the SSB4 characters and stages as they're released. That would be hilarious.

The idea is bringing Wario's dual costume functionality to the entire cast (with certain special aesthetics like Doc's pills but without actually changing the gameplay). The idea is to expand the game's content in a way that feels built-in and official rather than requiring weird button combinations or modifications.
