"The CDI game we all try to forget about" Nah, those YTPs went crazy back then we ain't forgetting about the good it brought to the internet

When the world needed him most...

Fun Fact: Sandbag's yellow alt is a reference to my bedsheets in the morning when I use the bathroom in my dream.

Blows my mind how Goku had zero outfit references when he had multiple outfits throught the history of the entire series.

*32:40* One correction I wanna make is that that costume isn’t directly based on Sora’s KH1 design. It is actually based on his Limit Form from KH2, which is in of itself a reference to his appearance in KH1.

22:16 correction. espio isnt an antagonist and non even an anti-hero. he is a part of a detective team: the chaotix. they always help people and save the world, being good friends of sonic and the others

THE KING IS BACK

25:20 Since when was Espio an antagonist? Or even an anti-hero?

1. Tanooki Peach actually first appeared in Mario 3D Land, though it was in-game artwork only. 2. Thanks for the info on Wario's orange alt.! 3. I like the fact that the devs went as far as to reference King of the Hill when making costumes for Waluigi. XD 4. Hyrule Warriors Ganon looks pretty cool, so it was a shame Smash Ultimate didn't reference it. 5. So if Gorochu existed, Pichu wouldn't... huh. 6. I did not know about the Radiant Jigglypuff design either... 7. Nor did I know about the WHITE Pichu! 8. Actually, the Purple, White, Grey, Navy and Green costumes Lucario has are references... somewhat. 8a. The red chest fur on the purple alt. is supposed to reference Mars. 8b. The "white" alt (actually light blue) is a reference to Saturn - this alt is referred to as white due to the chest fur. 8c. The grey alt is a reference to the Team Galactic uniforms. 8d. The navy alt is a reference to how Lucario looked in both Movie 8 and the Diamond & Pearl anime. 8e. The purple chest fur on the green alt is supposed to reference Jupiter. 8 (con). Hoped this helped! 9. Interesting choices for Bandana Dee alts.! 10. Falco has great taste in weapons, I'll give him that. 11. The fact that GP Legend's dub was never finished is a crime. 12. WHY DID THE DEVS SCRAP KRATOS WHEN HE WAS 100% DONE?!

Imagine being the Zelda/Sheik main who has to see every other character get cool resprites instead of them

I think the green and blue Luigi is a reference to the OVA.

2:20 I know this costume is in a lot of smash mods or mainline games but something nobody has ever mentioned is that this is also one of the possible appearences in luigi's mansion dark moons scarescraper mode.

23:02 probably a reference to their teacher, Kraden, but adding the splash of red color was too much effort. Banger video as always Bowler

Damn, kudos to you for all the research required to find each costume. Good stuff.

I'm a little surprised that you didn't cover Ganondorf's sword changing to match from the sword of sages to the claymore he wields in Smash Ultimate/that one GameCube tech demo. I'm pretty sure the Hyrule Warriors palette also changes the sword. But given how I didn't know half of these? I'll stay appreciating the video. Welcome back, Bowler.

Awesome video! It's great to see you back! Small correction though, Espio isn't an antagonist, or an anti-hero, he's a complete good guy.

i can feel the origins coming inside of me

32:51 - Important to mention that in Sora costumes based on Donald and Goofy, Sora's keyblade is changed to King Mickey's Keyblade. Also later in Kairi and Riku based costumes, Sora's keyblade has a color swap to match with Kairi and Riku's Keyblades

I think the tanner skin on Ryu's Yellow costume could be a reference to Sean from Street Fighter 3. It's nice to see fan games put in this level of effort as well since stuff like Sonic and Pac-Man getting more interesting colors than the official titles might be allowed to have is nice. The retro costumes are neat too.

The boi has returned! Glad to have you back, Bowler.

This was a great well quality video. Thank you for taking your time to make this!

All of issac's costumes look fantastic and the colors are soo good. I haven't played golden sun yet but dang these character designs look good.

25:19 Espio is NOT a miner antagonist nor an anti hero in the series but one of his friends and members of the Chaotix

it's been a while but it's glad to see you return

2:21 Its also a reference to luigis appearance in the mario bros anime movie!

I feel rather confident in saying that because of the gold detailing, Lloyd's purple costume is actually based on Colette rather than Sheena.

I was watching some of your older vids yesterday xd, nice to see you back!

I can't wait to see the remaining characters costume(we had a teaser with Meta Knight and Zelda/Sheik) so we can get the full version of this video.

Nice vid bro! And welcome back Hey can you do a video explaining the color costumes used in the SSF2 Projects? Like Sandbox, Ps o Delta?

Increíble trabajo bro, valió la pena ponerle esfuerzo al peinado ya que te quedó increíble.Si sientes que te quedaste corto o algo así con el cuerpo no te culpo, una lastima que no haya tantos renders para que puedas lucirte mejor :3 🌃✨🍄

Welcome back!!!! We missed you

Ah hell nah, you ain't about to tell me that green Ness isn't a reference to El Chavo del Ocho. My whole life I've been calling it El Chavo del Uno.

The Luffy costume at 34:44 is weirdly based on Nico Robin's default post timeskip outfit.

When was Espio ever an antagonist or even an anti-hero? He’s a detective that helps people.

Guess who just earned a sub because I like these styled videos?

2:20 actually that costume is a reference to the Mario Bros. anime, where Luigi wore yellow and blue.

The man, the myth, the LEGEND is BACK!

4:22 The black shell and largely gold theme remimds me a bit of DIO, especially his Part 3 design. Funny, as both have tormented a European with seemingly endless stairs.. and in the Part 3 OVA, Mario's VA has a cameo role.

20:58 Ness' shirt that he wears is the Good Kid's Shirt from MOTHER 3. Smash Bros. devs during the development of Brawl just decided to slap a Mr. Saturn sprite onto its shirt to make it look cool since they're one of the most iconic characters in the MOTHER franchise.

Good video!, Retro costumes are so cool

Since you mentioned Kratos being a cut character, you should go over the other cut characters.

6:27 That one is based on his White outfit in Wario Land for GB, you also picked the wrong black and red costume from Brawl

The pink Bomberman outfit reminds me more of Honey, a cowboy side character that served as a promo mascot in Japan during the 90's. The bandana helps the case too. (Thanks 8 hours video of Bomberman)

34:43 Actually this is a reference to his outfit in the 10th movie One Piece: Strong World

Tails and Ryu referencing playable characters in Smash Bros. Crusade is an extremely cool way to tie these Smash Fangames together. Even if its just by coincidence.

I can relate to Meta Knight not in this vid. Most of the costumes are SSF2/Smash originals, but some alternative costumes in Ultimate pay homage to Galacta/Aeon Hero and Dark Meta, respectively. A few more costumes I think would fit him would be Morpho Knight, seeing how he's officially canon, and the Light and Dark Aeon Hero forms respectively.

Fun fact: Waluigi isn't the only character that gets alt colors for his items! Other characters get this treatment too! This includes (but isn't limited to)... • Mario's Luma in his Mario Tornado • Peach's Toad • Captain Falcon's Blue Falcon ( _typically_ matching the vehicle of the racer the costume is based on) • Tails' blaster, and the boxing glove in his down smash • Ichigo's Hollow mask in his up/down taunt Again, these are only the items that change for every alt AND don't just simply share the palette of the fighter. There's items for other characters that get recolored only for specific costumes (e.g. In his Dark Pit costume, Pit's bow, arrows, and Upperdash Arm get recolored to Dark Pit's Smash appearance).

FINALLY HE'S BACK BABY

Nice video bro

I think the darker blue dress for Peach is a reference to the Mario movie

9:31 The green Link with a purple hair is from the game The legend of Princess, is a indie game that the main character is based on link but with a purple hair

3:26 Peach's blue costume almost resembles to Weiss Schnee's appearance in RWBY Volume 4.

I actually think purple actually represents her final smash appearance but so it wasn't too similar. They change the skin to purple

Idk if the SSF2 Team would read this but I hope Shiek would get a costume based off Byrne from Spirit Tracks

I feel like pikachu's dark blue/white design more closely resembles Meowstic, the ears and tail more closely resembling it. The eyes could just be a choice/ it's female counterpart

12:31 I personally think the purple Jigglypuff is based on a technical oversight in the introduction to Pokémon Blue which depicted Jigglypuff as Purple to have a similar color scheme to her foe, Gengar Also the Green Samus Alt is based on the MS-06 Zaku II from Gundam

Welcome back chief

Nice video, see you in 2 years

What do you mean "not a cool point" Man was vibing with the shades!

He's back!!

Bowler's back! Bowler's back!

But no need to worry. When the other Characters get Resprites then we can see the costumes

The pixel art is amazing.

Kirby's monochrome alt could also reference mirror world kirby

the legend is here🎉

23:00 i would suggest that this could reference fierce deity link? it is a stretch, but the armour matches, so does the scarf being the same as the fierce deities tunic and hat, along with the well, white hair.

Interesting that Bowler didn't go through Toad's changes on each Peach's customes too when he did it for Waluigi and Piranha Plant. Both Toad and Piranha Plant feels to have like the same amount of... something important I guess.

Some things you missed: Fox's last costume is likely a Wolf reference Naruto's Deku & Saitama costumes can possibly just reference Shikamaru & Choji the second shadow layer of Sandbag's Red costume is basically equal to the color in the middle of the "SMASH" on SSF2's logo the thirdshadow layer of Sandbag's Orange costume is basically equal to the color in the borders of the "FLASH" on SSF2's logo the secondshadow layer of Sandbag's yellow costume is basically equal to the color in the middle of the "FLASH" on SSF2's logo the first shadow layer on Sandbag's black costume is basically equal to the color in the top-middle of the "SUPER" on SSF2's logo Sandbag's last costume (the one with inverted colors) is likely a reference to Sandbag's final smash itself, the other sandbag ones were huge stretches but this one i'm pretty confident about

34:43 - The MG Wiki says it resembles Nico Robin post-timeskip, but you could argue that it looks like his outfit from the Strong World movie.

He's Back... HE'S BAAAACCCCKKKK

13:30 made me think of granbull/snubbull color wise, maybe makes more sense than impidimp. Great video otherwise :D

6:22 that seems like a reference to his appearance in wario land 3

LOL. Great video, i think Madara is the best villain in the series too. And the final Luffy, i thinking in Arlong too.

red kirby could also be a referance on how he looked with fire in superstar (but red kirby could also be what its based on) orange kirby can also be a referance to the orange spraypaint just like black and purple the yellow bandana dee could be a referance to player 2 (i think) in rainbow curse

I love Ichigos costumes because he is the best character in this game and I love the cloud and kenshin references here. But I do think cloud would join the roster at some point but I think crono deserves it aswell.

Whilst the purple and green sonic do look similar to Espio and Jet, they could also be references to Sonia and Manic from Sonic Underground, considering they’re both hedgehogs.

I honestly thought they just threw color on characters lol

25:35 That skin is most likely based off how Tails looked in the early cartoon shows, he had brown fur and his shoes had inverted colors of Sonics own.

*Link* 9:30 - The 'Link to the Past' alt is such a good one. I love that they gave him the pink hair. *Krystal* 17:23 - Krystal has some incredibly solid colors, mainly the Assault Blue and Miyu. But I think her Fay alt is the best one! *Captain Falcon* 20:04 - I think the gold Falcon is both paying homage to the Smash alt BUT it's also Dr Stewart's Golden Fox in F-Zero. *Lloyd* I wish more of Lloyd's alts (if they got updated) changed his hair to match the party member. Like bright red for the Zelos alt or white for the Raine alt. 19:40 - BEST TALES GIRL RIGHT THERE

I also don't know if this counts but peach when grabbing the metal box turns into pink gold peach

thx for info:)

13:16 Electrike is from Gen 3

Congratulations, your brain is now a list of pointless trivia like mine

Interestingly regarding Red Lucario is that I'm pretty sure there's a clip showing Game Freak's studio and there is a Red Lucario figurine there

We miss you bowler dont leave again

Retro jigs and mimikyu Pichu are nightmare fuel, also retro zero suit Samus is a reference to the famous Justin bailey cheat code

Oh of course Krystal was the first Star Fox character to get different costumes in this game lol

Welcome back bowler

I think tails’ brown costume could be a reference to the two foxes who bullied tails for his two tails. Like from his backstory.

12:10 Those three I believe try to reference the Gen 1 color palets and eyes of Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle respectively.

33:46 the character that you shown is NOT Bad Rayman but Raymesis who's a DIFFERENT CHARACTER as part of the Dark Raymans

4:37 actually, that blue shell bowser could ve a reference to "bowser's brother", an antagonist from the Family Computer Disk System version of super mario bros: the lost levels that is also referenced in some smash games

16:18 that bandana dee skin is cartman from southpark

I think for sandbag his last one is a reference to the silhouette battles you do in classic mode

Respect for Smash flash…the game that gave sonic actual costumes

35:29 I think they made green-haired Naruto look like Deku, mostly because it’s most likely a nod to how Masashi Kishimoto (the creator and mangaka of the Naruto manga and anime) has stated My Hero Academia to be one of his favorite modern animes, and it also probably refences to when Masashi praised Kohei Horikoshi (the mangaka and creator of My Hero Academia) for his work on the series and for making Deku one of the most beloved anime protagonists in the whole community of anime

1:32 Didn't know that Bowler knows SMG4 too🔥

marths color swaps are references to unit colors in fe blue is the players army green is an ally army red is the enemy army yellow/gold is a secondary enemy army for the other alts, no clue, but have fun with this info

IMO, Pink Pichu is a reference to Snubbull, having a similar color scheme and both being baby Pokemon from Gen 2

hopefully we will get better costumes for them 0:29
