One of my favorite joys of playing video games is unlocking alternate costumes. No matter if they look good, look atrocious or just downright stupid, I love that they're included.

So what are some of your guy's favorite alt costumes?

Firs and foremost, the queen. Bayonetta

I know everybody likes the theme costumes, but I really love how bayo looks in this simple elegant dress

Then we got my favorites just because of how ridiculous they are.

Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition Road Warrior and Little Red Riding Hood outfits

Resident Evil Revelations Sailor Chris

Dead Rising 3 Nick Ramos as Mega Man X

Dead Rising 3 Nick Ramos as Felicia from Darkstalkers

Dead Rising's are especially great because they're all functional and have special moves and features specific to each costume.

I've got a ton more but what are some of GAF's favorites?

"White" Link in Smash Bros. A great nod to the first LOZ.

 

[djplaeskool]

Yellow Iris costume for Felicia in UMvC3.
Battle Circuit doesn't get enough love.

[super-famicom]

Bumblebee Ness (more of a palette swap than an alt costume).

 

[RecursiveFault]

 

[Neol]

Ohhh baby~

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

The best:

So incredibly badass.

... followed by Snake's tuxedo, as previously posted.

 

[Slixshot]

LOVE IT!

Was very pleased that they brought this back too!

 

[C.Olimar788]

A shame that the Varia-Fusion Suit is so ugly, but them's the breaks.

 

[M0nochromatic]

Project M's Lucas and Ness skins are great. As a Lucas main I always use that skin. It's too good.

 

[beinfilms]

Big Boss for Snake in Project M. I got so hyped when I first saw that this was in there.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

 

[Beaniedude]

Pajama Link in Wind Waker.

 

[Mazzo]

I like to see the casual clothing of many of the Advance Wars COs.

[SmithnCo]

His Feenie costume is good too, though I was hoping for hobo Phoenix.

 

[13randO]

Doughnut Drake, solid choice.

Also, this:

 

[Sub_Level]

+1 to Resident Evil and Doughnut Drake.

Ninja Gaiden Black/Sigma - Doppelganger

Bullet Witch - Schoolgirl

I have never even played Bullet Witch but the costumes are cool.

[snickothemule]

 

[super-famicom]

Persona 4 Golden: MC's Dojima outfit is badass.

 

[sn00zer]

White Lucario

 

[Green Mamba]

Ivy's second costume in Soul Calibur 2 is probably my favorite design of her's. Soul Calibur 2 probably still has my favorite fighting game alternate costumes to date. Often times I feel alts in fighting games come across as last minute half baked ideas, but the alts in Soul Calibur 2 felt as well realized as their primaries for the most part.

 

[Roto13]

Black suit Dr. Mario looks like a hitman.

 

[El Odio]

el sombrero samurai (MGR)

Yes.

Black suit Dr. Mario looks like a hitman.

And yes. Even in melee black suit Dr was my main.

For one not mentioned it'd have to be Bowser Jr's Ludwig alt.

 

[Phocks]

90s Captain Falcon design fits the campiness of his character so well. The model in PM looks sick.

 

[dark_chris]

oh you

 

[Ultimadrago]

Dark Toon Link is mah main man.

 

[Astral Dog]

SAMUS Metroid Fusion Prime Suit

RE 4, 5, 6 costumes.
MvsCapcom 3 costumes, like Sparda.

Super Sonic
Mario, some of them.
Shulk Smash Bros.

 

[Joe Prodigy]

Link's PJs from Wind Waker. I wish it was a costume I could use in Smash.

 

[injurai]

Ohhh baby~

dat spine

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Ada Wong's tactical outfit from RE4:

 

[Ghazi]

Frank West's Mega Man alt in UMvC3

 

[Creaking]

I always liked Yoshimitsu's 2p costume in Tekken 5

Chattery knees were the best.

 

[Vally]

Asuka in Tekken 5

 

[spindashing]

Best Chun Li.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Zero from Ultimate vs. Capcom 3 X alt.

 

[HiroTSK5]

Lloyd Irving's Nobleman

Shulk's Fiora Alt in Smash

Pretty much any alt that turns a costume white.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Batman:TAS costume in Arkham City. Beauty in simplicity

Black suit Dr. Mario looks like a hitman.

Jim Sterling Mario is the best Mario
