It seems tha🐻t not aඣll of the images of the Spirits will be true to their original counterparts, as it has been revealed that some of the female Spirits have had their artwork censored in order to show less skin.
A thread on ResetEra initially revealed that the artwork of Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 would be censored, as her bare legs are now covered in black stockings and her cleavage has been covered up with a ꦅpiece of black cloth.
This leak has been supported by a user on Twitter named Let's Go Nathan Sora For Smash Ultimate, who revealed as it appear♌s in the Spirits/World of Light mode.
Mythra isn't the only one who has been censored, as a Twitter user named has revealed that Camilla from Fire Emblem: Fates has also been covered up, as her cleavage is now obsc𒊎ured by an extensi🏅on of her armor.
These edits to Camilla and Mythra were almost certainly to do with the game's age rating, as similar edits have been used in previous Super Smash Bros. games.
The of Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U showed a trophy of Tharja from Fire Emblem: Awakening that was cut from the game for sh🐷owing too much skin.

These edits seem to be a necessary step for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to avoid a higher age rating, especially in reg❀ards to Japan where the rules regarding console games are a lot﷽ stricter.
The crossover nature of the Super Smash Bros. games means that many different art styles and character designs will meet each othe🅺r on the battlefield, which has the side-effect of more pro💮vocative characters needing to be covered up in order to avoid trouble with CERO or the ESRB.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be released for the Nintendo🌠 Switch on December 7th, 2019.
