West End Costumes: Hana Stewart (2024)

Back with yet another alternate costume identification post! This time: Hana Stewart!

Hana is wearing her original orange alternate top and pants (all the way from her 2019-21 West End contract!). She is wearing an altered version of Leesa Tulley’s peplum.

Wild that her costume is still in use! This is the longest any costume has been used by quite a bit.

I made some fake Smash Bros "Alternate Costumes" for Piranha Plant based on the "Proto Piranha" enemies found in Super Mario Sunshine. Here's a link to the full-size transparent files: https://www.deviantart.com/pavlovs-walrus/gallery/81665600/smash-alternate

Annon-Guy: Should Guilty Gear StrIVe actually incorporate alternative costumes for the cast like GranBlue Fantasy Versus Rising did for Gran, Djeeta, Narmaya and Zeta, what would you pick for the current roster?

To start off easy, let's use the Missing Link Cast as an example.

Sol: Either Order-Sol or Overture Sol.

Ky: X Series Ky or Overture Ky.

May: X Series May or Xrd May.

Millia: Missing Link Millia or Xrd Millia.

Zato: Classic Zato or an Eddie Skin (probably more Zombie looking like decaying skin and damaged clothing).

Chipp: X Series Chipp or Xrd Chipp.

Potemkin: X Series Potemkin.

Faust: Xrd Faust or Faust wearing Baldhead's old costume while keeping the Paper Bag mask.

Axl Low: Missing Link Axl or X Series Axl.

Baiken: X Series Baiken

Testament: X Series Testament, but more androgynous looking instead of the masculine look they had originally.

There's been a ton of requests on this front from fans to ARC System Works, but the largest portion that makes it difficult is that it's expensive to produce.

Different outfits also don't always talk alternate colors in to consideration as well depending on the game.

Games like Granblue and Soul Calibur are built with alternate outfits in mind, but still, it takes a lot of work.

Even so, fan-made mod skins have been created in some communities, so for Strive in particular at least, things are progressing in that direction.

The broadest answer I can give is "they'll do what they can do".

Rising of the Shield Hero's Raphtalia in a alternative clothing/swimsuit, Haven't done characters for a while and it shows'. Use to be a fan of the Manga, fell off around the time of the Giant turtle fight as I was no longer invested.

All right, I know this won’t be canon to the AU I’m working on. However..

I am suddenly entertaining the idea of a full King of Fools/Jesters outfit for Agonia. Like, a genuine alternate outfit where he’s in full Medieval Clown King attire and is having the time of his life in it.

This is really just a late night “hmm new costume idea?” though. Gonna go to bed before I stay up too late drawing this.

You’ve probably gotten a few asks about this (if so PLEASE disregard haha), but my eyes aren’t deceiving me, right? That’s def Nat and Meg’s dressing room with a full Silver Cleves costume, right? I’m guessing it’s either Esme’s (worn 19 times) or Harriet’s (worn 8 times) old one but re-altered based on the fact the fact the three alternates are also getting re-altered costumes as well. Hoping there’s a pair of peplum-clad trousers in there as well, but hey I’ll be happy with whatever we get haha

You’re correct!! They’re Harriet’s, she has a different mesh than Esme. I posted more about that here and the chance that it may or may not be for Meg.

If they are altering costume pieces for Meg, I will note that it’s less likely we see Parr pants/peplum. The pants are relatively easy to alter, but peplums are more limited. It might be possible that she gets altered pants/other variations and a new peplum, though.

Annon-Guy: Alternate Costumes

In terms of Alternate Costumes in Fighting Games, what's your personal opinion on them? Does it depend on a number of factors where you prefer the default appearance, the alternate costume or both?

For example, in most Capcom Games, Chun-Li fro, Street Fighter generally has her classic outfit (except in SF6 where it's the alternate) with her getting her Alpha Outfit as an alternate.

Even in BlazBlue, Noel has both her New and NOL outfits available, plus in Guilty Gear 2 Overture, Sol has his EX Sol Costume which gives him his Classic Look. Not to mention Johnny's extra beard "accessory" in StrIVe...

Granted, there are costumes which are meant to be fanservice like. Like in SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy, EVERY fighter (except Skullomania and Thief Arthur due to Guest Character Status) has three costumes to equip. Barring Shermie, Terry, Jeane, Miss X(?) and Skullomania, they start off in a goofy/fanservice outfit with a second fanservice outfit as an unlockable. Their third unlockable outfit is their original outfit from the main KOF Games, which is the only time they're not embarrassed (including Mai, who's default is fanservice 😂).

This is a very huge topic, to be honest... and really it can become anything in terms of potential development ideas that have either existed or have yet to exist.

But, to keep things simple, I'll just say that my absolute favorite approach is the way games like Tekken, Soul Calibur, and Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising do it:

By giving each character "bits and pieces" of various outfits and weapons to mix and match and customize their appearance, players are able to put their own color and spin on their favorite characters and "make it personalized".

Soul Calibur and Tekken are probably the most famous for it because of their 3D DLC packages, and even Dead or Alive as a series is pretty infamous for it as well.

But games like Mortal Kombat 11, MK1, and even Melty Blood and Under Night In-Birth are doing it now!

Even Street Fighter is taking the World Tour approach and letting players create their ultimate character.

It was long ago, but Guilty Gear Isuka utilized Robo-Ky Factory, a means of letting players create their own ultimate creation for the game.

Guilty Gear Strive, while it currently does the bare minimum, is necessarily NOT going to take a more "dandy" option at some point. We can only wait and see how they approach this part of the game's development, but the more people ASK for it, the more they'll STRIVE towards such a goal!
