Come on, you "know"? How, exactly? State opinions, but don't pretend you know more than you actually do, OK?

No need to apologize. I'm the one who should be apologizing lol.
Sorry about that.
My point really wasn't it being memorable, but being significant. Poor word choice on my part, but I did make a post earlier using the word significant.
I don't think Link's normal clothes are significant outside of Toon Link's pajamas because of the second quest.
You're right about time not being that much of a factor, though it ignores how they are advertised and such. You see Link in his green tunic all of the time. Samus in her Varia Suit. They may not start off with it or can replace it soon, but it is their main look.
I was being somewhat facetious, hence the italics. Don't take it literally.
Definitely disappointed though.
Why would you wish for paid DLC? If it is a wish surely you'd wish for it to be free?

Not going to happen, no Rosilina fan is going to pick her and risk injuring their waifu.
There are only two characters in Skyward Sword that are in Smash as playable characters. They are Link and Zelda. Zelda is not even in her typical attire of purple/white dress. The characters are also in a stylistic fantasy art-style.
Last time all of the Zelda characters (referring to Brawl and excluding Toon Link) appeared together is Ocarina of Time, however, Twilight Princess has a design for Sheik, so it can be said that the last time all of the Zelda characters had designs from the same game is Twilight Princess. They all also happen to be the most commonly advertised look for them.
Sure SS has Impa and Demise that look similar to their corresponding characters, but they aren't Sheik or Ganondorf.
It is actually special that Link has a costume with the coloration of Link's normal clothes in Skyloft. The team didn't need to do that.

Those are 2d games though, and they have alternate colors by default, and just sell more colors, isn't that it? It'd be the equivalent of paying, for say, the Dark Link skin from SSBB, not paying for actual alternate costumes.

I would be okay with that. I really like the trophy style since they are trying to give it a retro vibe.

Past 12 hours have been a pretty good argument for the destruction of the Smash thread.

Actually he reminded me of Peter Pan but I'm not complaining about it tho.
That isn't an argument. It's a fact.

The heck is that last one (post-LA
X Link) supposed to reference? BS Zelda or something?That sounds like an overreaction to an overreaction, personally.

Oh snap he does remind me of Peter Pan.
The alt costumes will destroy the community.
You've got me there. Regardless, OoT Link and MM Link are one and the same so it still kind of fits. Bingo for Wind Waker and Spirit Tracks from a character design perspective.
But you're right - it's not an absolute requirement, I just think it's a little strange. I would have preferred an alternate outfit entirely over little more than a palette swap, but at least we got something.
Eww no. His art is fine. His in-game model is ugly butts
His face is too round, his eyes are too... big? I'm not good at putting my thoughts into words sometimes but his in-game model is really... off.

I know Toon Link seems to be keeping his lame Final Smash, but how would you guys feel if his Final Smash was Four Swords themed? It could either be like Mega Man's where it is a cutscene with the four Link's wrecking whoever got hit, or it could be a transformation one where you run around the stage with quadruple power and new moves.

His face looks perfectly fine, when at an angle/from the side.

His eyes and face are too round, yeah. It's just horribal.
vs.
I just noticed his collar goes up way higher in his actual, in-game model.
Look again. The male villagers have large ears, where the female villagers have wide hair. The make villagers have flared shirts, while the female villagers have short dresses so the flaring is at the same level.
The point being that removing Link's hat from the model might affect his hurtbox, so they'd have to alter his hair to compensate.
They could have removed the armguards and given him long sleeves on the tunic though, without it being an issue.

T minus 3 days until Falco, then you will see it self-destruct.
I know nothing.
you do know some things
I feel a Falco reveal. Or Falcon. One of those.
PadWarrior

Hoping for falcon myself.

I only know that I know nothing with certainty.
Edit: Captain Falcon is the perfect character to save for an unlock when the game releases. He will be much more exciting when found than when told about.

Which one will contribute to it being a better game though? I'll go with the custom moves personally.
I wouldn't say actual alternate costumes are completely disconfirmed at this point since there's a slim chance they could start offering them as DLC, but it's something Nintendo is still new to and I've always held firm to the idea that it simply wouldn't, and doesn't need to happen from the start.
I will say, today's flurry of salt has been quite amusing, but these kind of recolours are what I think we can expect in lieu of seeing references to other characters or forms outside of those exceptional few. If Namco somehow play a part in convincing Sora to follow the general fighting game business model with DLC skins and the like, I'd be very surprised.
If screenshots/videos are easily shared all over the internet (similar to how mario kart is doing) then I will be sad every time I see his ugly face.
Alt skin not being an alt costume doesn't bother me. It's minimal effort fanservice.

Okay, If Smash TV is one of Wii U feature then I will use Link to spite everyone in this forum.

I'll likely be maining either link or toon link (or if there's somehow another version of link as unlockable/dlc) so I'll be sad too!
People think Link's model looks good? Talk about having a wrong opinion
Seriously, too wide everything.

The female villager has an ear just as big as the male one, but her big side hair covers it. Also, the flaring of the shirts and dresses isn't on the same level.
Really, did you ever look at Brawl's hit boxes? They weren't exactly 1:1 with the models.

The best Smash commentator ever and the kindest, most agreeable ambassador for the scene, Prog aka Progducto, is retiring after EVO due to health issues. Same reason why he was frequently absent from the booth at MLG.
Even for those that don't enjoy competitive Smash, Prog was the touchpoint for Nintendo to reach out to in order to put together the E3 Invitational. Prog made the list of players for Nintendo to choose from. He's that important to Smash Bros., and his voice will be missed.

Same. But I'd do anything if there was a way to use his and Zelda's Hyrule Warriors looks.
Definitely too wide everything...
...but I guess its not all that bad, All hail our new wide overlords.
