Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the Smash game on the most powerful Nintendo console of all time (so far), and thanks to that we’ll be getting all the fighters that have ever fought, on (almost) all the stages that have ever... staged?
Anyway, why not taking advantage of the more powerful hardware and get all the fighters some skins that reflect some aspect of their history? We know it was possible with Bowser Jr and the Koopalings alternate skins (header image) and we know we’re getting Mario Maker and Wedding Mario, after all...
So, here are my suggestions for some alternate costumes, in no particular order:
Mario
Sunshine’s Shirt & Sunglasses, Luigi Outfit (Imagine a 2 Marios vs. 2 Luigis) and Odyssey’s Swimsuit Outfit (Why not? Shulk already got one)
Donkey Kong
Funky Kong from the recently released Tropical Freeze, and Donkey Kong with Donkey Kong Jr.’s pajamas.
Link
Embrace the Breath of the Wildness with the Zora Armor, the Ancient Set, the Vai clothes, and the no-clothes (I blame Shulk again)
Samus
With the Varia being the “standard”, add the ‘regular’ Power Suit, the Fusion suit and the Light Suit
Pikachu
Detective Pikachu. Bonus point if they can lower the pitch of the “voice” of regular Pikachu so it sounds like... well, detective Pikachu.
Luigi
A Mario Outfit (same reasons for Luigi’s outfit for Mario up there), and a Mr. L outfit (I don’t know who is he, but looks similar enough to Luigi)
Jigglypuff
This Giant Jigglypuff from the Anime
Mega Man
I wanted ProtoMan (including Helmet and Scarf) and Bass, but they appear on his Final Smash already, so Helmetless MegaMan from MegaMan 2
Sheik
The simple outfit of OoT, the Hyrule Warriors outfit, and ones inspired on Impa’s from OoT and Skyward Sword
Captain Falcon
A Helmetless Captain Falcon
Peach
They have it easy with this one. Simply do the outfits from Oddissey.
Zelda
I don’t care what Sakurai said, just look at these and tell me they’re not Smash-worthy.
Lucina
The exact costume Marth has, but with Lucina’s head, and short-haired Lucina with that butterfly-y mask thingy.
Ganondorf
Bring back, Twilight’s Princess’ Ganondorf, and inlcude the Wind Waker’s Ganondorf. Maybe Demise.
Snake
Young Stake (from Twin Snakes), Big Boss (Naked Snake after MGS3), Old Snake.
Squirtle
Sunglasses. Simple.
Sonic
Retro Sonic or whatever it’s called (Do not Google “Chubby Sonyc”. It’s four your own good!)
Zero Suit Samus
The NES to SNES Zero Suits would make a nice addition, along the Justin Bailey, but I’m more interested on Young Samus from Other M.
Robin
Having the option of getting the exact appearance of the Robin one used in th 3DS game would be awesome.
Shulk
I’ve been told that he has lots of options in the Xenoblade Chronicles game, other than the “regular” and the “swimsuit” ones, so, where are these?
Ryu
Street Fighter V’s Bearded and Shirtless Ryu, and Street Fighter’s I American Ryu, A.K.A. Blonde Ryu, A.K.A. “Ken”
Cloud
The blocky 3D model from the PS era, both in their regular and Crossdressing variant (that Google doesn’t seem to have pictures of)
Rosalina & Luma
Rosalina’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Mario Tennis Aces’ outfits. Pretty much her only appearances, right?
Olimar
Louie (From Pikmn 2), and these three (Alph, Brittany and Charlie) from Pikmin 3
Toon Link
His Spirit Tracks’ Engineer clothes, and Outset Island clothes are a must, but dude... there is literally a game about link’s clothes
Mewtwo, Pac-Man, Roy, Mr. Game & Watch, Meta Knight, Pit, Dark Pit, Wario, Young Link, Ike, Ivysaur, Charizard, Diddy Kong, Lucas, King Dedede, Lucario, R.O.B., Wolf, Villager, Wii FitTrainer, Little Mac, Greninja, Mii Brawler, Mii Swordfighter, Mii Gunner, Fox, Ness, Palutena, Corrin, Bayonetta, Inkling, Ridley, Ice Climbers, Dr. Mario, Pichu, Falco, Daisy, Bowser, Yoshi, Kirby, Marth, Bowser Jr. and Duck Hunt are ok as they are now.
*Phew!* That ended a lot imagier that I expected at first. What do you think? Would you like more options for the ones I couldn’t think of?
