New idea for Brawl

[Mars-]

Me and my friend were talking and thinking, instead of having clone characters, just make those costume changes. They could also change the characters moves, Strength, speed , and defence per costume. For example a Red tunic Link would be more powerful, but be more slower. A blue tunic Link would be harder to hit off, and more slower as well. The downside to this is that those characters wouldn't have any costume changes, so it would be just plain Dr. Mario,which might make people mad. I also think that would prevent Daisy from becoming another character, which I would love to see because nobody wants to HAVE to be a yellow Daisy, or not be able to be Daisy in a team battle without AR. Tell me what you think ;-D.

i think that it wont work out cuz speed > all.

[Marshy]

Hey! You took 1/4 of my name.....it's ok though, everybody wants to be me.

[xianfeng]

this idea sucks what if two people want to be Daisy they can't

[fluffy]

xianfeng, u r abosolutely right.

wow u consider that flaming?

[Stryks]

Nah dont like the idea, it would ruin the game in a way lol

[Link'sShadow]

My only problem would be the team battles.

[Chidosengan]

Thats like adding limited characters, like only one can choose them. Really weird idea. Also it would take too much developing time, and you know thats bad.

This idea has been shot down a number of times for 2 reasons. People will just find out what "costume" is better and just use that one. And then what if 2 people want the same costume? They can't.

[commonyoshi]

Plus, that like adding a entirely new character no matter how small the changes. It's just too much work for them that could be spent on something else.

[Tujex]

Though the idea sounds really nice in word form, think about how it would be in game form. They'd be better off making multiple Links, one with the red "goron" tunic who'd be stronger; one with the blue tunic who'd be faster; then the green regular tunic Link who'd be the balanced. But it'd take way to much time, and doing something like that would take away from other places....so it wouldn't work.

Two counters to those counters:

1) Same thing happens with characters. People find the best character and just use that one. However, some costumes could counter certain characters. Just changing the speed / power / defense of a character could drastically change the way that they're played, increasing strategy in the game (think Pokemon and EVs).

2) They could have a lighter and darker version, some kind of name would have to be on, etc. I'm sure they'll be creative enough.

[Aiser]

By defense what do you mean? cause the amount of damage fox and bowser take are pretty much the same.. other then that this might be a good idea.

[commonyoshi]

A usmash from fox would kill pichu and bowser at different percentages. Making these slight changes would require just as much work as making a whole new character.

I'm gonna have to go with Xianfeng and say this idea sucks for the same reason he outlined. If they wanted to do anything LIKE this it wouldn't be done by just changing the tunic, then you have players being forced to play with stats they don't want.

The alternative is to just tack on a whole new design, say like along with Mario and all his different colors, you have Doctor Mario also accessible from the same spot. Only the doc costumes would have the altered stats, but all his costumes would have equal stats to one another. The same could be done with Isaac and Felix or Roy and Ike, Peach and Daisy, Fox and Wolf but I still think it's not a good idea.

It can be worked out just like Kokichi said. It would add more strategy in the game, And I'm sure nintendo could enhance a idea like this.

[krlos F.]

This idea sounds creative, like Kokichi said, but, i don't think it works =S , just think the advantage, and disadvantage of this, and u can figure out if this is a good or bad idea.

......this topic's still alive?

And the counter to THAT is, Why not give the alt his own slot on the character screen, if they've already gone and made him? Would you rather have an extra step in choosing your character every time, OR simply have more characters to choose from in the first place.
