Fox's purple costume is clearly Wolf.SpizzySPAM (talk) 02:30, 29 December 2015 (EST)SpizzySPAM

Well, let's look at it. The fur's gray, as is Wolf's, albeit Wolf's is a bit blue as well in most of his appearances. There's a lot of purple and pink in Fox's outfit, but Wolf's only has a little bit of darker purple in his Brawl outfit. So I wouldn't say it's clearly Wolf. At first glance, that looks to be the case, but upon further examination, it may not be so. Even though they both have gray fur, given the other parts of the outfit it's a bit more ambiguous than that, which is why it's left blank. Smashedpotatoes (Talk) 03:00, 29 December 2015 (EST)

It's really the clothing colors that muddy it up as to what/who the costume is based off of. If it clearly matched Wolf's clothes colors then yeah it'd be okay to say it's based on Wolf, but it does not. Smashedpotatoes (Talk) 03:11, 29 December 2015 (EST)

Something I just noticed

The first costume of each character is sometimes called default, but other characters call it by color. We need to pick one and stick to it, I think. Serpent King 22:32, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Nice catch Serpent. I say default. It makes the most sense. Also, for some characters like Robin, Duck Hunt, Fox, and Palutena, all who have a multitude of colors on their person, it's hard to determine what their "default" colors should be. Smashedpotatoes (Talk) 22:57, 1 January 2016 (EST)

I agree with that. Serpent King 22:58, 1 January 2016 (EST)

I do think there can be exceptions, such as Bowser Jr., gender bent characters, etc. Serpent King 22:59, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Yeah. Also, for ones with gender variants, should it be "Gender Color" or "Color?" In the case of WFT it has to be "Gender Color," but Villager, Robin, and Corrin don't need that, though either way can do. Smashedpotatoes (Talk) 23:01, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Personally, I dislike the whole gender-bender idea in the first place, but that's Smash's fault, not ours. Anyway, I think that, outside WFT, we're good with just color. Serpent King 23:04, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Ok Cool. And just out of curiosity, what do have against male/female variants? For Robin, Corrin, and Villager, it's because they're customizable characters. Both WFTs coexist. It's not gender-bending, although stuff like Linkle is pretty dang close. Smashedpotatoes (Talk) 23:12, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Ok so for everyone the default is Default. For WFT it's Default, Male, and the rest "Gender Color." For Robin and Corrin, it's Default, Female, then colors. For Villager, due to how different each one is, I think it should just be colors. For R.O.B., the first two should either be Default (Famicom) and Default (NES), or Default (Japan) and Default (North America). Smashedpotatoes (Talk) 23:28, 1 January 2016 (EST)
