Smash Bros. gives Zero Suit Samus skimpy new outfit; Sakurai thanks "female designer"

I like the inclusion of ZSS. Reason being, it's one-half of the Samus character. Part of what makes the overall concept of Samus so unique is she's both beauty and the beast. ZSS reps the former, while suited Samus reps the latter. It's always kind of neat to see casual gamers' surprise when you say, "Yeah, ZSS is the same character as Samus. That's what Samus looks like under the suit."

Let's call it what it is: fanservice.
But if Nintendo wants to do that, they should show some male character beefcake to make things equitable.
Either way, those boots are horrific.

I like it.
Sexual objectification aspect aside, it looks cool and is fun seeing the character in a different outfit.

Well some of her new moves are based around the jet boots, so I can see why it would be difficult
It's better if a big huge sex

I think the design is pretty good but those high heel boots are really getting up my jimmies.
Good End Samus

Also, why are people still complaining about the heels? Didn't she have those in Other M? Wouldn't then have been the time to complain?

Team Silent back in SH3 mentioned that Heather's look came from their female staff. The original design for her had her in pants, and she was generally completely covered. Their female staff didn't think a teenager would dress like that, so they asked if they could redesign her. And they came back with a look that had in a mini skirt.

Of course the most thumbed up reply on Facebook is "[Feminism intensifies]".

People did. A lot. You must have missed it. If anything, Smash Bros. made the godawful heels slightly better by trying to give them a purpose in making them have jets or whatever, while in Other M she just randomly had heels.
People did and it's still dumb so people continue to call it out.
You fuckin' what
It's an interesting point and it's not the first time I've heard of character designs which would be considered as revealing to western opinions, but they were actually accepted or encouraged by Japanese female devs.
I remembered reading about Heather Mason's final design from Silent Hill 3 was result of feedback from the Female staff in the game. The original design was something a bit more conservative compared to the miniskirt which was in the final design.

Rocket heels are awesome by virtue of being ROCKET heels.

This is a character that can roll into a literal ball. I suggest you look up pictures of contortionists.

The would be inoffensive if the bright neon yellow weren't there. Otherwise they just clash against the rest of the design.
The biggest knock against Zero Mission is that it spawned ZSS.

I like how they stick out, I also like that they have a function. If they're going to be there anyway, at least this is the best they could get.

Yeah, that's how it sounds to me.
There are going to be people who find this sexist / icky, people who feel differently to some of the people in this thread.
That's okay, they're allowed to have different opinions and feelings about what they want to see in Smash and what is cool / not cool.

Not really a new outfit, but anyway.
As I said in the other topic, I'm totally down with some cheesecake, but there better be some beefcake alts too. I'm not cool with only female characters being sexualized, when you've got a bevy of appropriate male characters that could also get the same treatment.

Miiverse is on fire tonight.
For those curious, either jokingly or seriously, here's a link to the Japanese Miiverse post:

And the line in question that parallels "But thanks to the determination of her female designer, these Zero Suit outfits got completed in time":
が、担当デザイナー（♀）の根性によって、完成しました。

Ignoring the "female designer" weirdness for a moment, it's interesting how this appears to have been a last-minute addition to the game.
I guess I underestimate how much time game development takes, but I'm always surprised something like this would be considered challenging to design when it seems there are unpaid amateurs on the Internet who crank out this sort of stuff overnight.

Seeing as you had 2nd post where you caps locked and probably didnt read the OP (as it clearly stated it wasnt skimpy and such)
....okay what im trying to say is
Can *you* not refer to us as 4chan? We arent 4chan. At least contribute to the discussion.
Edit: also guys if thats a last minute addition im fearing no snake more and more by the minute >.<
There seem to be more of these uniquely designed call outs, Mario has an Open Tour costume.
