This is why I'm glad we're getting alt costumes in U/3DS. If people take so much issue with Zamus in the skintight costume (which is btw logical for her to do that because I imagine you cannot wear baggy clothes in that suit) you can just choose an alt costume that removes that completely (I'm banking on either Casual or GF!Samus as the alt). Or you can just ignore Zamus altogether and play as regular Samus.

I am a fair person who thinks everyone deserves some fanservice if anyone is getting it, especially in something with as wide appeal as Smash Bros.

I have a feeling alternate costumes are limited to a select few characters. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just Wario, WFT, and Villager.

Somehow I can't picture Samus wearing anything under the weapon suit that isn't skintight for practicality's sake. It's better than just a bikini which she has worn in the past.

If Samus was a man then he'd probably still need a skintight suit. Otherwise he'd just be in his own underwear.

[up][up][up] Right. Him too.

Although really, that's not a costume change like Wario and WFT. From what I can tell, it's just a skin, making it an alternate colour palette.

The only thing we've known so far is we can't create our own Alternate Costumes. We can customize (some) moves instead.

I wouldn't mind having Alts for a ton of characters, but I doubt all will have them. Not everybody has an easy choice. However, it also depends if Sakurai makes any previous swaps look more like the character via model changes(Daisy, Blood Falcon, for instance). We've had alts since Melee. Just no model changes(to make someone look like a different character or a gender change) till 4.

I meant model changes to make them look like entirely different characters. Apologies for being unclear. I'll edit.

Regarding the Zero Suit; Snake and Samus' suits are very different in execution. Although sexualised to some extent, the sneaking suit makes some concessions to function with its armored patches and reinforced joints; giving an overall impression of speed and power; similar to some non-batnipple conceptions of Batman. Contrast this to the sexualised vulnerability that defines the Zero Suit - no attention is given to the wearer's musculature, whereas the breasts are highlighted in neon, additionally; the footwear actively inhibits function.

...Hopefully we can choose Fusion or casual alternates.

How, exactly, is the Zero Suit worse than any of these?

And don't say "high heels". Yes, that's stupid. But it's a fairly minor detail, and they got turned into rocket boots for Smash Bros anyway.

None of those are get more than a few seconds of glory at the end of their games.

Captain Falcon's Suit has Falcon Nipples.

I blame the sexualization of Samus's zero suit to the sexualization of women in general. Captain Falcon and Snake are pretty prime specimens themselves but which character has more porn of them? tongue

[up][up][up]Because those are "more practical" and only ever appear in the end game screens...you don't see them all the time. "More practical" as in...end of mission relaxation clothing...

How are outfits that expose large areas of skin more practical than a flexible, futuristic bodysuit?

You know what? Never mind. It's so not worth the argument.

#42244: Apr 21st 2014 at 11:14:47 PM

Nope. Cause that ain't no zero suit.

In fact that'd be a totally different character...Military Dress Samus.

Or "Young" Samus, but she isn't that young.

No. At least, not without adjustments. You have to rework the shoes to be as tall as ZSS's heels, so that the models are exactly the same size, and give them whatever tech is in the rocket boots to make the moveset work.

Not impossible, but not a perfect swap either.

In fact let's also do Civilian Clothes Samus.

Four iterations of the same character should appease people asking for more Metroid reps, right?

^Or five. Eh, this one's cuter.

Why does she need an alternate character at all is what I'm annoyed about. She has as much precedent as a character as Naked Ness, but I'm going to bet that's not going to be in Smash 4.

That's all I'll say on it, too.
