...I can't tell, is Zero Suit's new costume a model change or just another hush-hush secret color swap like SS link and Wireframe Mac? Either way, it looks great.
It's a costume change.

It's a nice costume, and more practical than the normal Zero Suit. Though I wish they had the time to include the hairstyle from Fusion as well...
...Is it weird that I find Samus smiling like that to be odd a little? Then again, maybe I've just gotten used to how stern she looks in Smash and Other M...

I'm surprised people haven't blown up over these costumes considering all the controversy there was about the heels.

The alternate costume looks nice though and is quite the call back, I like it, more than the Zero Suit at least.

I think it's getting to a point where everybody who used to complain about this kind of stuff pretty much already knows how the rest of the net will react, so they just don't bother.

Seriously. Tumblr of all places is 90% "LOL HERE IT COMES" and 10% "THIS IS SEXIST BULLSHIT"

Considering it's just a casual pair of shorts and top, I couldn't be more happy that they went with that over one of her swimsuit versions. It's almost identical to her Fusion version(colors aside), so it doesn't bother me. I understand the complaints(although the Heels are far more of an issue. I am glad they're rocket-based, so they're more than just a "uncomfortable footwear").

I think there's also considerably less backlash due to the costumes hailing from the well-regarded GBA games, rather than being associated with the specter of Other M, as the redesigned Zero Suit was. That, and despite showing more skin, these definitely seem to have less of a sexualised vulnerability thing going on, instead being comparable to the outfits of the Wii Fit trainers.

I'm glad Sakurai was smart enough to point out that it was a female designer who championed this costume.

...I actually kind of want to see that. I'm sorry. :p

i think that suit looks a lot better on her than the zero suit does here. ...or really in any game besides brawl.

it looked kinda alright in brawl and now everytime i see it outside of brawl it looks like an abomination to me.

I'm just happy that one of the Samus...es(?) got an alt, although I hope Power Suit Samus gets an alternate Suit as well.

The PED suit would be a nice alternate cosutme for Power Suit Samus. Or maybe the actual Fusion suit.

[up][up]If he did, I don't remember seeing it...

-checks- There's a color based on the Light Suit, but I meant an alternate suit design rather than just a color reference.

"..her female designer..." Yes, her nameless female designer (who probably doesn't exist) who you're passing the buck to when things get salty again. Right...

Conspiracy theories aside though, I like the fact this costume originates from Zero Mission, the game ZSS originated from as well.

Pretty much the only outrage I see is from people who aren't familiar with the Metroid series.

So similar to the reaction to the Zero Suit being added to Brawl's roster then.

Personally, I think we should just wait until a reaction happens instead of worrying about it now. I don't really see a point in getting worked up early (which isn't happening in this thread; I'm just referring in general).

I still wish Sakurai would get a move on about Ridley at this point, but I'm guessing he's fully intending for that info to be discovered at release.

I'm still not quite sold on these Gamecube controllers though.

I wonder if they will ever announce the Ice Climbers this week, or ever.

Also, I did not expect today's Pot D.

What stuck out to me was the fact that it was added very late in development. It's good to know that they're still making changes.

What is wrong with her torso. It looks even worse here since you can see the skin being crunched and twisted.

ZSS has never looked particularly good in close-ups. Every humanoid model has had instances where they just look twisted and weird, but Samus gets it the worst. It seems to be a thing with the way her move set is designed or how the model is rigged.

From the normal Smash perspective, it probably doesn't matter all that much, but in screenshots she's always a bit off.
