Title: Costumes
Post by: ThePerm on October 04, 2007, 12:49:59 PM
I'm a fan of games that let you choose multiple costumes for the same character as opposed to the extra lame palette swap. For instance, there was no Wario in the last super smash bros, but there was a palette swap which aproximated Mario as wario. In that case it was ok, i would really like to see some characters look radically different with different costume changes.

Link
Twilight Princess Link-default
Ocarina Link - secondary
Ocarina link - purple
Twilight princess link-blue armor
Twilight Princess link-red armor
possible lttp link Brown sleeves different face

Wario
Wario Ware- Default
Wario classic- secondary
plus some more costumes

Young link-if he even appears
Wind waker style-default
majora's mask style secondary
Wind Waker blue surfer

Solid Snake
Grey suit-default
camo suit w/ eye patch secondary (aka BIGBOSS)
Grey Ninja or Raiden as another costume
Big Boss Sean Connery Version
Liquid Snake

Zelda: zeldas a bit more complicated
Ocarina version zelda
ocarina version shiek
tp version zelda
tp style shiek

Ganondorf
Tp version default
WW version
oot version
ghost night version

samas
all different versions of the varia suit.

pokémon trainer
different pokemon trainers

Fox
Fox last smash bros
Fox ds
fox n64

Yoshi and kirby and pikachu
since none of these wear much in the way of clothes, im satisfied with a palette swap

Mario
Mario: Regular
Dr. Mario
Mario red overalls
Hawaian shirt and sunglasses mario

Ike
Ike could have Marth and roy skins

Donkey Kong
Dk-with Tie
Classic Dk no clothes
DK snes mario kart clothed

Peach
Daisy peach palette swap

I can actually see this game having alternate costumes.  The updates have all shown that Sakurai and his team have spent a lot of time with this game and have been going into every little detail.  

Months ago I would have thought the idea of different costumes would never happen but after all these updates, it doesn't seem like it could be a dream anymore.

Not to be pessimistic but I doubt we will get alternate costumes in Brawl. I agree that it makes sense and is more creative than just color swaps but I don't think they'll be adding it to Brawl.

I hope they have alternate costumes. The Daisy outfit in Melee showed that they're at least technically capable of doing so, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are some.

The Daisy costume? You mean the palette swap of Peach?
Title: RE: Costumes
Post by: Mikintosh on October 05, 2007, 09:16:50 PM
Yeah, I can forsee the palette swaps having more minor changes to them, a la Peach-Daisy. I don't think it's the hardest thing in the world to do alternate costumes, but it is programming work, and the kind that the team would probably only do if they had extra time before the release; Brawl, alas, seems to be coming down to the wire. Plus, with as many characters in the game as there'll probably be, there'd be, like 50 costumes. And they'd all have to be differentiated noticeably by color, lest we forget. Twilight and Ocarina Links won't look too different from far away, I'd wager.

As a programmer, I doubt it would take a whole lot of extra work.  Unless they totally didn't approach it with that kind of functionality in mind.  Even then it would only take some re working.  However, I doubt it is a latter as that isn't good programming practice and it would be considered non-dynamic for sure.  

OR  

I could be full of crap

Yes and no. I wouldn't expect anyone to notice who isn't a huge nerd (like I am), but Peach's Daisy outfit is slightly more than a palette swap, because it at least features alternate textures and slightly different details on the gloves and such. Also, one of Captain Falcon's color swaps has a different design on his back. So they can at least do that much.

Trainer names:

Pokemon Trainer
- Red
- Green
- Gold
- Crystal
- Ruby
- Sapphire
- Diamond
- Pearl

Since they aren't named, just called "Pokemon Trainer" the change isn't really important.  Super awesome would be the Pokemon pallet swapped to the appropriate starters for the game they're from.

as someones whos done either skinning, or model replacement, i would have to say that its not really that hard at all, outside the swithch between young link and cell young link most character models would be the same shape, and all you would have to do is assign the same "bones" to the model and viola, new costume.


In soul calibur every character has like 4 different costumes, and they're all more than just a palette swap. Some look radically different with extra armor. I suppose if namco can do it..then possibly Sakurai's team can do it.

THe question is if they Will, lets hope.  Also, anyone who says its programming work is wrong...its not, its modeling work. They use high level tools to build character models in games, all the have to do is select the polygons and assign them to a "bone"

I'm not saying that its hard to do. I'm saying that its one of decisions that Nintendo has avoided for a while now. I agree that the idea makes sense, especially since all characters have had multiple costume changes in the last few years, but for some reason they are against it.
Title: RE: Costumes
Post by: Adrock on October 07, 2007, 03:27:24 PM
I still think costumes are a possibility in Brawl due to the (supposed) larger, more talented development team and lack of time restraints. Sakurai has probably at least thought of including different costumes. Not only is it a painfully obvious addition, but he's dabbled with the idea in the previous games.

Nintendo has accommodated Sakurai as much as possible. Everything that's known about Brawl's development points to Sakurai having almost complete free reign over this project so it's probably more up to him than it is Nintendo.
Title: RE: Costumes
Post by: ThePerm on October 07, 2007, 03:37:40 PM
also, ganon-captain falcon, math-roy. Those were pretty much costume changes. There were some slight gameplay changes, but if you eliminate the gameplay changes then its just a change in costumes.

Exactly, the Pokemon in Melee prove that they are easily capable of doing it.  Stuff like Pichu's goggles and Jigglypuffs headband show it's not hard for them to add something new to the character models.  Now of course those were smaller things but with Brawl having a much longer development time it wouldn't be that hard for Sakurai and his team to do that on a larger scale with all the characters.

I like having elaborate costumes. It would cut down on the chances that crappy obscure characters/character variants make it into the game as unique characters and destroy game balance.

Since we are on the subject of costumes on Deviantart I found this gallery that features fan made versions of alternate costumes in Brawl. Some are rather amazing!

You can see it  here.

It says in the article that it is a costume swap.  that's why the post was in the Costumes thread.

Cuz "the fans" were weak and lenient enough to allow for a delay; adding more senseless fluff, as if it would make up for a Smash-less 2007-replaced-by-WiiFit, is considered tolerable to them.
Title: RE: Costumes
Post by: ThePerm on October 19, 2007, 06:54:12 AM
i want as much senseless and unimportant stuff in the game as possible, that way in 7 years when they decide to do a sequal they'll have to bitchslap the last game even more!
Also by then hopefully Nintendo owns Konami, Sewga, Capcom, Namco and the successor to wii only has to be twice as powerful as the xbox 360 to be 200-250 dollars

Title: RE: Costumes

Because of the mention of Daisy as a costume for Peach...Not exactly evidence of course, but the chances of her being a character are incredibly beyond-slim...
Title: RE: Costumes
Post by: vudu on October 22, 2007, 09:21:01 AM
Alright, you win this round.  I didn't both to read the original post so I didn't see that Tanookisuit confirmed Peach's Daisy costume.  I assumed he didn't mention it and that was the reason for the question.  My bad.
Title: RE: Costumes
Post by: ThePerm on October 22, 2007, 09:31:58 AM
this thread is mainly about costumes, however because Smash Bros is infamous for character clones thatn that up for discussion as well. In Melee there was Young Link and Link which were almost the same character, but they had some gameplay differences. I'm still hoping Celda Link makes his appearance.  With Phantom hourglass out think its apparent that more than one style of Link can exist.

In Melee one thing they did was have classic Smash Bros stages from the original, its not unlikely then that maybe previous styles of characters might pop up.
Title: RE: Costumes
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on October 22, 2007, 10:25:04 AM
The Daisy costume is trash.  It's just another Sub-Zero/Scorpion color swap.  Which means it's not an upgrade from Melee at all.  Daisy has different hair, and Peach's model does not reflect that, while Pikachu got DIFFERENT HATS.

They can delay this game all they want.  August 2008 would be best, to combat Halo 4: How Halo 2 Should've Been.

Mario still has a Wario costume. Just sayin'.

Also, I can't confirm this, but I read somewhere that while the Daisy outfit in Melee had alternate textures and subtle differences, the Daisy outfit in Brawl is purely a recolor.

Hopefully they'll take the time to make the Daisy model a little more than a palette swap.  And I think they should get rid of the Wario colors for Mario and make that an alternate costume for Wario, for crap's sake.

Post by: ThePerm on October 29, 2007, 08:58:40 AM
with a stage editor, maybe there will be a costume painter? ala animal crossing? Iv always liked character editors, but with smashbros, idk. sort of defeats the point of having a game where you can play as your favorite video game heros. I am still hoping Mii is a playable character. Then again, say they leave somebody out it would be nice to make someone that got cut in an editor. With wrestling games you had 2-3 wrestling companies in the n64 days. Not every wrestler could be in, I pretty much made every other wrestler AND assigned them their special moves. Like for instance, crash bandicoot is not in the game. Im not a big crash fan nor do i relly want him officially in the game, but it would be cool to make crash and then assign some cross between for other character moves.
