There's one costume I'm rooting for. Dark Pit.

They don't even need to bring in a different VA.

Same. Only because I don't think you could tell him apart from regular Pit enough to be a full character. Outside of a model change(which would be nice, honestly).

Not just the fact I want Medusa playable. Dark Pit having Pit's earlier moves(and gliding) would still be neat, don't get me wrong.

Shadow?

I mean, I guess you could hand Dark Pit some alternate weapons from Uprising and make a new moveset from that, but he really does fit so well as a detailed alt that I fail to see why one shouldn't go that route.

I sure said that!

Yeah.

His appearance in Palutena's trailer has to mean SOMETHING.

Dark Pit is probably the one exception I'd be willing to make. Heck, he originated as a Brawl palette swap anyway.

Technically speaking, he IS Pit, as a manifestation of all his inner darkness.

... I will never get over Pit's inner darkness being Chaotic Good at worst.

I sure said that!

Well, Pit IS an angel, he probably doesn't have much darkness inside him.

To be pendantic, he was meant as an Evil Knock Off; a copy of Pit who would be loyal to Pandora and Medusa, to give them a One-Man Army equal to Pit.

But Pit shattered the Mirror of Truth before its magic could be completed, so Dark Pit was instead a copy of Pit without Pit's loyalty to Palutena, or any god. And he managed to inherit Pit's burning hatred of Medusa. Good job there, Pandora.

[up][up][up]When you go for the Evil Clone of an Angel and get a Chaotic Good Jerk with a Heart of Gold it's a reasonable assumption that the original is probably a good contender for being Ultra-super Pure good.

[up]It's still amusing how desperate Dark Pit is to make sure nobody thinks he's a nice guy, in spite of actually being a nice guy.

Dark Pit is another exception, since his abilities are practically the exact same as Pit's. And his looks are, as well.

Only other potential exception I could think of is Cosplay Pikachu. Again, discounting palette/texture swap references.

(Dry Bowser doesn't count, he was originally Bowser.)

[up]I like to think it's mostly because Pit is too naive to see the world in anything besides black and white, hehe.

For Pikachu and the other Pokemon, I'd have done the reverse; their "palette swaps" would be textural differences with the hats and such, while their "alt costume" would be a palette swap, in the form of a shiny coloration.

Did anyone notice the Multi-Man Melee now has the Miis instead of Wireframes or Alliods?

Was that Multi Man Melee, or just a [Character] Team match in Classic mode?

...and what would be the difference between them?

Wireframes, Alloys, or Polygons.

And Multi-Man Mode is the new name, respectively.

Makes sense, since the custom moves and parts make them all unique to face.

Shame that they didn't go for "Multi-Man Miilee".

Man, all these KIU spoilers. Maybe I should stop trying to play the game on a higher difficulty setting and just enjoy the story on a lower setting so I can finish the damn thing already.

I wonder about Dark Pit, but I assume he's just an alt for Pit. Unless he actually fought differently than Pit does in KIU...

As noted, Pit in 4 and Brawl play very differently.

So Dark Pit having Pit's Brawl moveset would make sense.

Likewise, it's not like how they played in Uprising matters too much. Smash is hardly canon. I'd list examples, but I think we can all look at one particular clone and nod our heads in agreement that "canon clearly gets ignored".

[up] Heh.

Beat is very likely to be an Up B, at least from the picture. ...Is Plant Shield and Leaf Shield the same thing?

[up]No. Plant Barrier is more useless. There's probably some variations, i.e. Plant Barrier being more useless. But it's definitely a seperate move from Leaf Shield.

As for Beat, I'm super happy to see the little guy. <3 He's the resident bottomless put rescue service, so it makes sense that he'd be an Up B.

From what I can tell from two minutes on Youtube (since I have no familiarity with MM 6), Plant Barrier doesn't seem like it can be fired, so that's a major difference right off the bat.

There's plenty of other candidates for variation on the down special, honestly. That whole concept of a shield weapon that has object circling Mega Man has recurred a lot over the games.

I'd like Junk Barrier. Damages on contact, and breaks apart in chunks when hit, rather than all at once.

And wow! Beat recovery! I'll be honest, I didn't think they'd get too creative with the recovery move, but they managed to turn Megs' bouncing pose into something different! Congrats!

So, I'm betting all his variants will be different boss weapons. I'm thinking Shadow Blade and maybe Ring Boomerang to replace Metal Blade.

Near anything could replace Crash Bomber. That basic "shooting the buster" animation has room for so many things.

I hope they stick to bombs for the Side B just so we get Remote Mine or Commando Bomb.

I think the last Up B may be Neo Rush Coil, but I'm not sure.
