Get rid of the clones! Atleast somewhat. I think in Brawl, at the character select screen, you can choose a special form. If you pick samus, you can choose between Frost, or Static, or Flame, or Dark, etc. Since it is samus it will play the same, but each form will have something different about its play style. What do you think?

That would be cool but wouldn't it be a pain to balance out if they had different abilities and such. I think it would be better if there were power-ups that let you change to an alternative form randomly and gave you unique abilities until you die. But just changing the forms without new abilities will be purley cosmetic and wouldn't really add to the gamplay. but, it would be nice and i agree to get rid of the clones.

I think that would overcharge the game.

So basically your saying that each different costume should have its own specific attribute...

Such as Samus's suit...if you choose "Frost Samus" would her primary weapon be instead of the regular power beam become the Ice Beam? Like with the Ice Climbers if the opponent has a high enough % dmg they have a chance to freeze, and if you were to fully charge the Ice Beam would it increase the chances of being frozen?

As for Static Mario....he either decided to put pikachu in his trousers or he walked on the carpet for too long....meh don't like that idea...

For Demon Link...their are basically two choices you can take from this without using this char./costume choice...1. Fierce Deity Link & 2. Dark Link... as to which I would think would give Link a dark atttribute bonus to their attacks...however if they do that they may cut down on their speed....and Fierce Deity should be his own character and Dark Link should be along Links line of costumes and hopefully also with the Zora's Tunic and the Magic Armor as well...

Nice idea, its nice that someone spends a little thought with their idea instead of randomly blabbing it out...

Yup, like that. It would make the game more complex such as other fighting games with hundreds of characters(cvs2, KoF, etc). I've always liked the idea of "elemental" power ups and stuff like that. I dont know why but its cool, to me.

That's really cool, except I would rename "Static Mario." I don't think it sounds very good...

The pictures are cool, but I don't like that idea, kinda stupid imo. I think it would be cool if costumes are more than pallete swaps, but they shouldn't change how the character plays. Example, Samus would choose between her different suits, which are more than color changes, but she still has the exact same.

It's a good idea. I love the effect you used in the second picture. I use that all the time, but less controlled.

Thats how it is now. So dont worry, you'll get what you want. As for me, the dreamer, this is what I would like.

We don't know that that's how it is now, Melee had diffrent suits for samus, but they were just colored differently, not actually diffrent costumes.

Actually, that could be interesting for a special mode, but I wouldn't want it in the main fighting mode.

Doing this would overcomplicate the game. i believe we should just keep it simple. incorporate as many characters as possible but give them there own unique moves.

Adding all those different abilities to each costume, could very well get rid of the balance of the character and it would take longer debug time to get all the characters balanced....so instead of adding an ability to each individual costume choice (which people might want that ability but wants a different color, or wants to use the same form so it won't really be fair) so a great way is to leave all the character abilities alone but having an unlockable special feature that will allow you to customize your character's colors in very good detail (basically your own color pallete or color it up in a photoshop like program in the game), so having your own unique character that you can port around on a memory card at any time whenever you want to play at a friends house or a tournament (

It seems like a good idea, but in the long run, it would create some unbalanced characters.

That would be cool just for looks but if they each had different abilities that would be stupid because it would be like having 2 or 3 characters in 1.

I'd prefer skins of other characters as their costume. Why not put in Funky Kong or Chunky Kong as a straight-up skin off DK? I say: put in colour costumes (Wario design on Mario), but skins as other 'similar' characters are better.
