::::Technically speaking, Chris is hard-coded canon as early as day 1, seeing as the Japanese manual for the first game makes mention of the "Legend of Christopher". Now granted, the story could be talking about Trevor, who also has the middle name Christopher, but his tale was 200 years before Simon, whereas "The Legend of Christopher" was 100 years. Even then, considering how his game was on the Game Boy, Chris had an uphill battle to get through which he never really succeeded at in comparison to his ancestor and great-great grandson. It also amazes me that you overlooked Reinhardt with the yellow outfit seeing as he ''also'' wears a red scarf, much like Julius, even wearing a yellow tunic under his purple vest, but that's a bit of a stretch as well. --[[User:Tailikku|Tailikku]] ([[User talk:Tailikku|talk]]) 09:50, 7 February 2019 (EST) | ::::Technically speaking, Chris is hard-coded canon as early as day 1, seeing as the Japanese manual for the first game makes mention of the "Legend of Christopher".

:::::I was always looking back at artwork for Reinhardt to find any resemblances. There is nothing else in common with the Yellow Alt. apart from the yellow shirt, so that would make it a stretch.

You never really specifically explained and gave sufficient evidence towards your belief as to why it is more a reference to John than Julius.

::::::Since I do not have an active account, and my account is not verified enough to make addendums to the main article, I was wondering if someone credible can read this and make judgement as to whether or not the main article should be edited to better fit the two sides of this argument. In this section, I have stated my case and presented my evidence, none of which has been disproven, just counterclaimed. Four of Richter's colors on the main article are fine but not complete. Me and the person in this section arguing have said that the Red, Yellow, Green, and Black alt. colors are, each, one of two possible references. If I were to edit the article, I would just combine the two claims on each of the four colors, since neither of them can be particularly disproven.

<s>Agreed with all of these (especially the light blue being a reference to SotN artwork, it's basically 1:1) except for the purple one. It seems like as much of a stretch as saying it's based on the 32X game. If it was a reference to Shaft they would've made it a brighter purple color and given him green highlights, like the red highlights on his white costume or the yellow ones on his black one. And speaking of the black alt, I don't think it's a reference to the DXC ending. If that were the case they would've given him a white bandana, not a black one.</s> Finally, I should point out that the "earlier build of Smash Ultimate" you linked to isn't that, but it's from a fan-made YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cI3vFjcvBA). --[[User:Master Foot|Master Foot]] ([[User talk:Master Foot|talk]]) 03:58, March 12, 2019 (EDT) | |||

== Yellow Luigi alt Origin? == | |||
Currently, the wiki states that the yellow and green costume for Luigi resembles [https://www.mariowiki.com/File:MBAXELuigiSprite.png his sprite] for the Atari XE version of Mario Bros. Since personally, I don't find the colors to match at all (the only yellow here is the skintone, and the other colors are green and orange/brown), and this seems a bit too obscure of a reference (I mean, whoever heard of an Atari XE before?), I decided to look for other origins. I started with Game & Watch covers since I recently found out Luigi's blue alt actually takes inspiration of Mario's appearance on the boxart of the Game & Watch version of Donkey Kong Jr. | |||
Point is, I found [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/nintendo/images/8/83/ManholeCover.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170122034557&path-prefix=en the boxart for the New Widescreen release of Manhole], which features a kid with a yellow t-shirt and cap, and green overalls. This one seemingly matches Luigi's Yellow alt much closer than the Atari XE sprite... ''but'', since Manhole isn't exactly a Mario game, I'm a bit hesitant on adding this to the page. What do you guys think? [[User:Arend|Arend]] ([[User talk:Arend|talk]]) 15:40, 1 March 2019 (EST) | |||
== Robin Blue Costume == | |||
I'm very sure, that the male blue costume doesn't resemble Kris. It's pretty obviously the Grandmaster class of FE Awakening exclusive to Robin and his kids. Kris has blue hair and this costume has Robins "grey" hair. Kris has very diffrent blue color shades.

== Correct images issue == | |||
We have the corrected image for Kirby, Marth, Palutena, ROB, Simon, Villager and Zelda's costumes now. Why are we still using the screencaps from before the game's release? <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Darkkrpg|Darkkrpg]] ([[User talk:Darkkrpg|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Darkkrpg|contribs]]) 17:29, March 12, 2019 (EDT)</small> | |||
Umm... what are you ''talking'' about? All those characters you mentioned had been updated with the raw internal files from the game as early as December 9. Just like everyone else. [[User:Arend|Arend]] ([[User talk:Arend|talk]]) 10:05, March 13, 2019 (EDT) | |||
== R.O.B.’s “Purple” costume == | |||
I believe his purple costume should be named pink, as most of the skin is pink and the stock icon is pink as well. | |||

:I don't see any pink in that alt. It's more of a light purple. [[User:RandomUltimate|RandomUltimate]] ([[User talk:RandomUltimate|talk]]) 15:01, March 14, 2019 (EDT) | |||
::I see it as a light magenta, which, [[wikipedia:Magenta|according to Wikipedia]], contains the color in ROB's alt. If it was a light purple, it would be more lavender.

So should it be changed? Or will it remain the same? [[User:Dab Squad Leader|Dab Squad Leader]] ([[User talk:Dab Squad Leader|talk]]) 15:19, March 14, 2019 (EDT) | |||
:I support changing it to pink. Aside from the purple highlights, it's very clearly a bubblegum pink. RandomUltimate's monitor settings are probably making it look purple. | |||
== Simon's Purple Costume == | |||
Even though there are a lot of comments saying that it's based on Cornell, it's a huge stretch. Even a post on the Castlevania Dungeon forums commented on it being a stretch. What I can say is that I have a more definitive source for the costume: the "Here's Fake Simon" [https://www.spriters-resource.com/playstation/cvchron/sheet/9020/ graffiti] found in Castlevania Chronicles. This isn't even a dummied-out graphic, it can normally be found during playthroughs starting with your 8th as if can be seen in reflective shards of the mirrors found in stage 6. It is actually a clever masking technique as the mirrors are actually revealing parts of a different background layer, and can be seen as early as the first playtrough by disabling layers in an emulator. --[[User:Tailikku|Tailikku]] ([[User talk:Tailikku|talk]]) 11:35, March 15, 2019 (EDT) | |||
:I doubt that, considering that the only similarity that sprite has to the alt is the gray hair, only the sprite's hair is a lot darker and there is no purple on the sprite. Regardless, I'm going to leave it anyway because I don't think it's Cornell either (even if the color scheme is a lot closer). --[[User:Master Foot|Master Foot]] ([[User talk:Master Foot|talk]]) 14:09, March 15, 2019 (EDT) |
