I was thinking the same thing until I noticed that the top hat and straw hat weren't tied to any particular outfits. Now my next hope is that the weapon variations seen on the Gunners and Swordfighters aren't tied to the rest of the outfit. This, however, seems pretty unlikely at this point, which is definitely sad news for anyone hoping to play as a beam sword-equipped Jedi who doesn't look like he/she's straight out of Tron.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Or DLC? Can totally see this happening.
You mean free DLC right? If not, then I don't want to pay money for a top hat for my Mii.
I can see either way. You may not want to pay, but someone else might. $ speaks.
As I've mentioned, I too wish, especially for the sake of characters like 007 and Snake if he is cut getting the revolver you mention, that the weapons were independently customizable, but alas, it would appear we're at the mercy of what outfits they make available for the Miis' look from the shoulders down. The bright side is, though it appears to be something Sakurai is trying to keep mostly under wraps for now considering all of the Fighters shown with the same color outfits, I can just about guarantee that costumes (or at the very least most of them) will change to match the Mii's favorite color. Want my evidence? Look at the football player Mii in orange; now look at the Mii in red in the picture with the two kicking in the air. Notice that their outfits are identical except for the color. So, the only costumes that may be exceptions are the Tron outfit
Ooh, nice jacket. I hope we can change the color of the outfits based on the Mii's Favorite Color, because a black one would mean I can make this guy and do this:
I mean, I would've preferred if I could give him the Revolver-type weapon, but oh well.
Colors are kind of a given. It's rather obvious to me, that given that Sakurai is in his right mind, all the alts that would normally just be "colors" are going to be nothing but body costumes. I'm thinking the hats we can take from our StreetPass Mii Plazas.
You can still be The Starkiller Apprentice, Darth Vader, or General Grievous easily. And I KNOW there's more SW characters with similar armor than that....................................................

At first I didn't think it was very likely that you would be able to carry over hats from StreetPass Mii Plaza, but after looking into it you may be on to something after all. That top hat in the 3DS screenshot? It looks identical to the one in SPMP, right down to the pink/purple band. Then I noticed that the football helmet is indeed identical to the one in SPMP, as well! And although I can't find any photos of them, I do see a straw hat and a cowboy hat being listed as one of the hats you can get in that game. On the "against" side of my findings, there is no hibiscus flower available in StreetPass Mii Plaza, only a sunflower. Also, there is no alternate cowboy hat as seen on the female Mii next to the one in the traditional cowboy hat. Most trivially, I'm not sure why the top hat in the Wii U screenshots is purple as opposed to black (nor am I a fan of the change at all). Still, it would certainly seem that, if nothing else, some designs were directly taken from SPMP. Now I have a whole new personal concern: will there be a simple crown available? As in a gold ring with spikes, with no fabric in the middle? I'm really hoping so, I have some ideas that would work much better with that type of crown than with a regal crown. Fingers crossed.
Actually, something I've noticed. in one screentshot of the Gentleman outfit, the Mii has a black Top Hat, like the one from SPMP. However today's Pic of the Day lacked any form of headwear. The gunner only had his gentlemanly outfit and arm cannon. not a top hat in sight! I wonder why? Also, why did Sakurai not comment on Rosalina's Fire Flower outfit? I hoping the rest of the week's screenshots reveal even more costumes for the characters. Sakurai seems to be focusing on them now.At first I didn't think it was very likely that you would be able to carry over hats from StreetPass Mii Plaza, but after looking into it you may be on to something after all.

Oh, and this isn't really backed up by much compared to my other thoughts, but given that we've seen a character with a long coat, I'm pretty certain we'll see costumes with capes. And if we get cowboy, sports, and sci-fi outfits, I am willing to bet a nice little chunk of money that we'll see a martial arts outfit.
My guess is the top hat is black on the 3DS and purple on the Wii U. Why? Like I said, no clue, it's strange. Also, as an update for those who care, turns out there is a hibiscus flower available in SPMP, I just overlooked it when I was doing my brief research before. Oops! Though as far as I can tell, my point about no cowgirl/mariachi-like hat still stands. Anyway, according to Miiverse comments that's not her Fire Flower outfit from SM3DW, though I'm with you on calling it that for simplicity, haha. It seems like he is on an alternate costume kick lately, so I'm guessing this was just his way of showing another new noteworthy look for a character (Or was it to serve as a lollipop for fans like us who didn't like the shot that was weapon designs being tied to costumes?). I too hope we get even more colors/costumes, they are very exciting to me!
A lot of people originally posted that this would mean arm cannons are restricted to the outfit, however if you look at the original pictures when the mii fighter was released, it's clear that the default mii is using the same arm cannon as "tron" mii.
Nice observation, but I'd wager that that can be explained pretty simply: the basic Gunner arm cannon matches the Tron outfit very well, thus the design is not changed when that particular outfit is equipped. I don't think there is any way to misinterpret Sakurai's quote, unfortunately. Weapons will change to reflect the outfit when appropriate.
My hope is that the game will generate a character portrait to show how your Mii will look in battle, but others have speculated that the way it will work is, after selecting which type of Mii Fighter you wish to play as, you select the Mii to use from a list. Admittedly, this would make more sense, being a much simpler approach. However, it doesn't seem too farfetched to think there would be art on the disc/card for each outfit and accessory since every item has pre-rendered artwork. If each one did, it would just be a matter of putting that artwork together with the Mii artwork. Still, that's a lot of work for what could be handled in a simpler way, so I wouldn't suggest getting your hopes up.
I share this feeling with you, and can't wait for more of the secrets of Miis to be revealed with time.
Items on high, laser sword only. It helps....................................................

Hopefully......
I just hope there's a good variety of Brawler and Swordfighter outfits. Hopefully some capes?.....maybe?
..........Just a Karate outfit at least?
I'd rather just have a natural swordfighter character as a Jedi who naturally has a beam sword. The item can be easily lost and putting items on high makes them spawn way too much. I may be a casual player, but even I can't stand item overloads.
That whole outfit does kind of look like this:
"On a different subject, the Mii Fighter is wearing a Mii Force Helmet."
YES! YES! STREETPASS OUTFITS CAN BE USED! YES!!
I CAN be a Jedi! ....Maybe! ....................Hopefully!
My thoughts went to Power Rangers first, but yeah, it does look very similar now that I look at them both. I wonder if that was intentional on Sakurai's part?That whole outfit does kind of look like this:
You don't have to, it's already in the full game.
I am not certain myself; however, I believe we can change the color of hats. Or at least the Top Hat has a purple variation, so I would not be surprised to see some more variation to Mii Fighters. It might be limited to clothes and hats though.
That would be horrifically fabulous.
Well looks like Captain Hook is viable: http://www.miicharacters.com/index.php?mii=1805
It was confirmed by this pic of the day.Darn, judging by this screenshot, it looks as if we won't be able to select the specific weapons (swords, guns, fists) aesthetically and that they're locked to certain Outfits or Equipment. So if I want a pirate sword with a cyber outfit, it looks like that won't be able to happen without a stat change.
Ah, thanks, I hadn't noticed that. Well, I guess the best I can do is hope for a Pirate Hat then.It was confirmed by this pic of the day.
The Mii Gunner in his suit. Looking sharp! The arm cannon's design will change depending on the outfit, but the attacks and projectiles will be the same.
Quite sad, but it is already great that we can customise the look of our miis. So sorry, no cyber pirate for you
We're not positive yet, but it looks like Streetpass outfits will be unlockable in various modes such as Smash Run and probably Classic mode.
