I had a hard time understanding the point you were trying to get across, on account of, you know, it doesn't make sense.
Then read harder.

And for Christ's sake, people, it isn't Wolf at all. Anyone who's played at least one Star Fox game with Wolf in it can see that it isn't. This is Wolf:



This is how he looks in just about every game. He has light gray fur, a mechanic eyepatch, a bigger build than Fox, etc. That alt. looks nothing like him. It has dark fur, could be dark gray or dark brown (but I'm thinkin' dark brown), no mechanic eyepatch, no similar physical build to Wolf, etc.

I mean, Jesus, personally I would love to have a Wolf alt. for Fox, but it isn't at all. Just as much as the light-blue Samus alt., claimed to be the Fusion Suit, ISN'T the Fusion Suit at all.

Has anyone thought about a character called team star wolf

basically like pokemon trainer you can be wolf, leon and panther

And when you use down B a wolfen comes over and changes the character

I know this wouldn't get in as a character but u think about it

The Samus alt seems more like the gravity suit. =/

Anyways the image is blurry, but if that is a gray Fox, then really people it's just time to accept it. Wolf's not getting in. The thing is, is even if that's not a intentional copy of Wolf, it over accentuates how close the two are. Falco makes much more sense at this point too, as he is not only in more games than Wolf, but also plays a much more active role, actually is something you can't copy with a pallet swap, and was in friggen Melee last time. =/

And DKWii, your idea would work better for the rest of the Star Fox team, wouldn't it?

Samus will get a Dark Samus recolor, they wouldn't waste a space on a Samus with somewhat different abilities.

dear god..i hope that was sarcasm. ZS samus so far has been one of the biggest wastes of a new charater. metroid needs more reps, but why, WHY waste it on another version of samus that isn't even playable in metroid games?

dark samus had so much potential, not to mention being a different character entirely from samus aran.

Could someone post a link to the video where people were getting the idea that Fox has an alternate costume that is Wolf?

Better one :D.

Darn it, i think it IS wolf.

Edit:

Yeah it is wolf, his sayayin scaner turns black or something, so it looks like his eye patch, also i think the mohawk is present. I might be wrong. I whon't say for sure that he is deconfirmed until we get a high quality video or pic of him, but i think it's fairly sure to say that he IS deconfirmed.
For those of you just joining the thread, here is the video as originally posted by Shuma.

I personally, can't tell at all and I have 20/20 vision. You'd have better luck finding an albino in a snow storm then determining colors and details in this video.

Also, here is a picture of SSBB version of Fox to help you compare.

Right, but where is the video? That's just a picture of the video. I want to see the video itself.

It'd be cool if it is an alt costume and they called him Wolf when you wore that color kind of like with Dark Link.

Actually, you can play as ZSS in Metroid Zero Mission, hence the name. I guess you could also say she's been playable in the original Metroid as well. =/

The thing with Dark Samus is that she can only get in if another Metroid character does (Who doesn't share Samus's name) It would be pretty silly to have three Metroid characters all be Samus, wouldn't it?

I'm SO pissed that they're not putting Wolf into Brawl. The SF franchise needs some villain representation, not Krystal. I'll be so mad if Krystal gets in over Wolf (which is probably going to happen). Who the hell am I going to main now?

P.S: Stryks, you have a comic shop, right? I'd appreciate it if you check out my new comic shop in the Artwork Emporium! I'm sure you'll like it.

Wolf isn't deconfirmed... Just because that LOOKS like him doesn't mean it is an alt. costume of him. We will know sooner or later.

I agree that Wolf isn't out yet. I mean, can anyone clearly tell anything from any picture or video? Because no one has posted any thing that makes me believe that they can actually use those videos as proof. Like I said, Wolf's chances of getting into brawl maybe as good as a snow cone's chances in Phoenix, but there's still a chance.

Zero Suit Samus is not even taking up space in the roster, she's only playable through item means and one of the hunters is probably a better choice than Dark Samus, but that's way off topic in the Wolf thread isn't it?

I think he was making a connection between D. Samus being an alternate costume for Sam, and Wolf being an alternate costume for Fox.

Or something like that.

They were getting into flame mode just because I think Dark Samus is a bad idea.

If Fox is getting a Wolf recolor, chances are Samus will get a Dark Samus one.
if that the case will other characters do that as well like luigi nd waluigi....peach nd daisy...yoshi nd birdo maybe

Daisy is already a Peach recolor, Waluigi will most likely end up as one, now Birdo NO WAY! Why do people think Yoshi and Birdo can be alt's of each other?
because there are so many mario characters in already that chances are Birdo won't make it on her own... they would likely never make yoshi look just like birdo, but they might give him a recolour with a red bow, pink skin and purple spots

Well, if it were just a recolor and a bow as Hedgedawg suggested, it could work. However, if we're talking about an actual Birdo costume, it wouldn't work because of one key characteristic.

Yoshi does this:


And Birdo does not. And even if Sakurai and his team wanted to do it just for the hell of it anyway, the tongue would probably have to come out from under his nose-hole-thing. Which would be awkward. Birdo has a connection to Yoshi, but he still isn't physically similar enough to work as alt costume for Yoshi.

I'm sure they COULD make it come out of her face hole (no idea if that's a mouth, a nose, both or neither) but it probably wouldn't be worth it.

Birdo couldn't have a tongue like Yoshi's coming out of her mouth, I doubt alt costumes would change the whole characters criteria, Birdo spits eggs, doesn't even lay eggs like Yoshi.
yeah, that's my point... I mean, the designers could do that, but it would probably require a lot of work and not really be worth it.

Oh and, BTW, percuss (to tap sharply; the root word for percussion) rhymes with circus.

Try orange... nothing actually does rhym with orange or silver I think

Wolf should definetly be in it. Although, the moves you suggest make him too much of a fox clone. If some unique moves are created he is a definetly a playable character.

yes, definitely as an original character

as a fox clone, definitely not. If they can't make him an original character, he shouldn't be in.

original character > clone

we are gaurenteed at least 1 more rep from Starfox. I'm gonna be pissed if Fox is by himself.

this is true... But I'd wager that that other rep will be a luigified falco and/or krystal
