Alternate Costumes Concept

Write the text of your article here! Alternate costumes as we know them are palette swaps (alternate colors). They are used to distinguish players that use the same character for a battle, and also to give the player a wide range of aesthetic choices.

During the Electronic Entertainement Expo 2011 (also known as E3 2011), Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's CEO, announced the next Super Smash Bros, set to launch for Wii U and 3DS. One of the first fans' ideas where to include a wide range of alternate costumes, which were distinguished from the usual palette swap. Here will be explained the new alternate characters and costumes recurring idea.

Since Melee, people are complaining about the clones (characters, often newcomers, that have a really similar move set to the original one). For example, Falco is a clone of Fox. Notice that clones from Melee had their move set slightly revamped in Brawl. The solution that fans found is to put the clones as an alternate character of the original character, keeping his moveset. For example, we could choose Dr Mario by changing the original character's palette. We would place the cursor on the character's spot, click several times to find the alternate character that has his own slightly different move set. Continuing to browse would show us the alternate character's palette. This way, clones would still be in the game without wasting a place on the roster. Here are some examples:

Alt. costumes of Link: Toon Link, Young Link, Skyward Sword Link. Alt. costumes of Sonic: Shadow, Knuckles.

There aren't only alternate characters, but also real altenate costumes. Except for Wario and Captain Falcon, we only have palette swap, but no alternate costumes that have anything to do with the character. For example, alternate costumes of Link would be Zora Link, Dark Link, Red Link. Alternate costumes of Samus would be gravity suit, power suit, dark suit, varia suit etc. features
