User blog comment:Nkstjoa/Alternate costumes I'd like to see/@comment-12846745-20140112185607/@comment-5035900-20140113055042

Shadow isn't a clone of Sonic, but both are similar in certain aspects. Shadow would turn into Super Shadow, not Super Sonic. A few fighters of recent memory had costumes that were different people entirely, but still had the name of the character chosen, such as the X costume for Zero in UMVC3 and the Deimos costume for Kratos in PSASBR. Even then, why couldn't the game call them something else when the costume is selected?

Project M does have a Dry Bowser costume. Actually really hoping to see that or a different costume for Bowser in this game.
