Damn right. It's called the Captain Falcon beat 'em up that is the spiritual successor to God Hand, developed by Platinum Games.
Those aren't actually different characters, though, just alternate costumes made to look like other characters, and only with texture changes; no model changes at all. Marth could possibly get a Lucina inspired costume (though I doubt it, since their outfits are pretty much the same color...), but you're not going to see a Lucina model as an alternate costume for Marth.

Yes, but obviously there's already grounds for alternate costumes being shoutouts to other characters. It's not too far-fetched to believe that we might get actually different models as alt costumes, given that we are going to get Male Wii Fit Trainer, and had the 2 different Warios as well.
There's currently no evidence that speaks against alt costumes being different characters, so stating "They're not going to make alt costumes be different characters" as if it was a fact is a fallacy.
[citation needed]
Give me a link to an interview where Sakurai outright said that, or stop treating your speculation like a fact.
If not Lucina, most likely Chrom if they do pull from that game.
incoming too many lords / too many blue characters complaints
No, we need Sakurai himself to acknowledge these characters. Its the only way we win.
lol Welp, cased closed.
nah, Sakurai only teased us with a pic of the Wii Fit Trainers. He has not formally revealed anything in regards alt costumes so there is a chance. Hell, it could even be more extensive than we one thought (lol not likely tho)
From my understanding, Palutena is very popular and so is Lucina in terms of Awakening character, iirc, but the latter is similar in design to Marth in looks so her chances are still kinda iffy.

A spin-off, no matter how good it was, would get shit on by deprived F-Zero fans if it was released before a true sequel. Some people even tried to spin the Captain Falcon mini-game in Nintendo Land as a bad thing.
Hey now. Marth can be bishie all he want. Lucina is still kawaii.
Instead of Wonder Red or the Wonderful Ones, it makes more sense to use Platinum Robo as the rep if you want to use every single Unite Morph.
Recovery options are Unite Rocket and Unite Whip. Unite Sword able to be used as a reflector. Unite Gun for Grabs.
Gimme Kjelle and he washboard abs. Severa for her Snark and Bark Society. Noire for her inner demons. Owain for his sword hand. Perfect Fire Emblem reps.

Even outside the list I posted there are multiple female characters that could see representation - Daisy, Krystal, Tharja/Anna, Toon Zelda/Tetra (*shudders*), SS/OoT Impa, Pauline, Medusa, female Pokemon Trainer, Birdo...
Ok, I'll stop.

Alternate universe where Joanna Dark & Gruntilda are options
Okay, yeah, you're right, it's never been stated, and I suppose anything's possible, but there's not really any reason to believe it would happen. It's never happened in the history of Smash Bros. so far, so why now? The only alternate models that we've had in the series so far are alternate version of the same character (overalls Wario, male Wii Fit Trainer), and I imagine it will most likely stay that way. Having different characters as alternate costumes for characters would be weird and confusing, anyway, and I don't think that's something Sakurai would add to the game. Maybe more alternate costumes for different versions of a the same character like female Villager or female Pokémon Trainer, but that's it.
Make it so that if you have an FEA save file, you can upload the avatar's appearance and weapons into Smash...yeah right but in an awesome alternate reality, Sakurai made that happen.

3D World spoilers
Cat Bowser should replace Giga Bowser.
foxuzamaki
Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Sakurai is already actively addressing the female balance problems, to the point where he's pointed out, expect 2 or 3 more females announced not counting vets imo.
That's what the mask is for!
I've been saying that, Meowser for the Final Smash or better yet give everyone a cat suit alternate.
Add Double Cherry to the list of items and this game is golden.
Masked Man
I said wow
I think Sakurai is definitely taking the gender balance into account in creating Smash 4. Hell, we've already got two of those gals confirmed as playable, one all-but confirmed (Palutena) and two more as strong possibilities (Female Villager and Dixie).
Still hoping that SS Impa replaces Sheik this time around.
^^
Damn that shine. lol
I think most feel the Male/Female alts for the same character is probably the way Sakurai will go. Imo, if having a different character as an alt is the only way to get a great character in then they should go for it.

Thanks for the info guys.
I didn't even know about that male Wii Fit trainer picture. Looked up the miiverse post just now.
https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADbUgNpbkcaUQ
So he's in the game in some form, either assist trophy/wii fit item/costume I guess. That would open up an awesome door with costumes if they could be entire reskins. And if they do add a Mii character, then we could 'reskin' that to be whatever we want.

IMO, if having a different character as an alt is the only way to get a great character in then someone isn't doing their job.
Thankfully, all of the characters on #TeamWaifu's wish list aren't great characters.

You'll have to wait for PM to make a SSB4 mod and have them release an Anna alt for Lucina =P

While it's true we don't have a full confirmation, given the fact they both are doing the same pose, it's pretty obvious that Male Trainer is going to be an alt.

I do kinda hope that they screw up again and both the 3DS and Wii U versions are just as hackable as Brawl. Project M 3D/HD would be freakin' amazing.

I wonder if we'll see any Mega Pokemon as standalone PokeBall Pokemon.
Although I imagine, like with Brawl Gen IV Pokemon, Generation VI won't see much representation outside the pre-release Pokemon like Xerneas.

I still think one or two of Captain Rainbow, Stork, Monita, Tingle, Devil, or King Boo should also be given a shot at playable.

Anna will be hidden in Marth's slot alongside Lucina, Roy, Lethe, and Gharnef.
Haven't played it yet, but I can dig ig.

Dry Bones Bowser is a way better "ultimate form" than both of those.

In reality there could be time constraints that could effect the roster again so I would be ok with having a few character alts if it came down to it.

Yeah, like Captain Rainbow or Stork!
I know you might be joking, but, if not, I don't think it helps to call people who want a more balanced gender representation in Smash "Team Waifu".

I would honestly take a half-assed clone over making them an alt. I mean, what does it say about Lucina if she's only an alt costume in a game franchise that throughout it's history has featured Green Mario, Evil Mario, Dr. Mario and Regular-Ass Mario?
Considering how many of the people who support more female characters seem to just want them because of traditional creepy otaku reasons and only use "gender equality" as a cover, I feel I'm justified in calling them that.
Wow. Props to you sir. That's a lot of laps to make.

If you're talking about the stork from Yoshi's Island, I'd love to hear what a potential moveset could be =)
A: Flap
B: Flap
B-up: Flap harder
B-down: Drop Baby Mario
B-side: Disregard Baby Mario
Final Smash: Seriously, disregard the baby. Who cares? You're a stork!

I'd rather take a character as an alt costume (or as a clone) than not have that character at all. This is especially true for characters that are too similar to already existing characters - Dr. Mario is a great character, but I don't think he should be on the roster as his own character. Making him an alt costume however would be perfect, and would require a minimal use of resources in order to change up the models and some of the particles (e.g. megavitamin instead of fireball, the lightning effects he had in Melee instead of Mario's regular fiery ones, etc.).
Just for the record, not everyone who is clamoring for more female characters does it out of "Waifu"-ness. As a matter of fact, I would actually say "#TeamWaifu" is the vast minority of them.
Personally, I would like to see more female characters, but not because I want a "waifu"
I'm gay
I don't even care for "gender equality" or that nonsense, since I'm well aware that Nintendo doesn't have a lot of female characters, let alone important ones.
