Costumes aren't that big of a deal. Making a moveset for and balancing a mass of characters is the real problem. A costume is just a different or edited model over an existing character.
When you think about it, Pikachu and Jigglypuff each have multiple 'costumes' (hats in this case. Jiggs' green outfit in Melee even has physics.
And time isn't an excuse when you're working with a massive dev team like they are doing now.
So is it likely? Maybe, maybe not, but it's totally unrelated to the number of characters.
By the way, what about a Super Leaf that gives the character a raccoon tail. It could give them a spin attack (similar to swinging melee weapons) and slow descend similar to the Parasol item. It could happen, since the item has been greatly promoted lately. (I realize now that when there is a topic about a new Smash Bros., speculation often involves stages and especially characters, but hardly items)
