To be clear, no one ever said there's an issue of the sort you're suggesting. I just find it interesting how Sakurai felt the need to "justify" it by pointing out that a female designed it. I think this is a reflection of the dialogue these days regarding depictions of women, to the point where even the intent behind actual sports clothing, as you noted, has to be "justified."I don't really see an issue.
It's actual sports clothing as opposed to like a swimsuit or lingerie.
Are those real creases on her pants or are those normal mapped?
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。
No, they have a thread up right now laughing at that dlc guy.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 >.<
Hmm, so the designer's gender is pointed out in both versions of the text? Interesting.For those curious, either jokingly or seriously, here's a link to the Japanese Miiverse post:

Yeah uh...I think most of us dont check /v/ whatsoever, so i presumed you were comparing our responses to /v/No, they have a thread up right now laughing at that dlc guy.
I like to compare how this site and /v/ reacts to things differently*is in this thread, hasnt seen other one*
If you mean on GAF, oh. That makes a bit more sense.
If you meant on /v/, a lot of us dont browse there.
"Bootylicious" wouldn't fit in the subject line!"Skimpy" might not have been the best word choice.
You have gone with "SEXY" or "STYLISH"
:]
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?
It looks good. Samus looks good.
Of course I wish he didn't have to specifically refer to the designer's gender ("female" designer; what is he, an extraterrestrial?) but it's a minor hangup.
Bleh.You know what would make this fair?
Shirtless Mario. Do it.
I bet it turns out he's actually ripped underneath those overalls.
This technically has in-game precedent (Metroid Fusion, Zero Mission, etc).Bleh.
Only some real beefcake will balance the scale, and Sakurai better deliver. I was totally cool with Smash being relatively free from this type of thing, but he's opened the floodgates now.
Bleh.

How about Robin in his swim suit from that summer scramble dlcBleh.

Barely passable. He didn't really get a swimsuit besides the generic black trunks, and I'm pretty sure all his alts are set with the two genders.How about Robin in his swim suit from that summer scramble dlc
Snake was cut, but don't worry, a male designer cut himYou could go shirtless in Snake Eater.
BRING BACK SNAKE, SAKURAI. For equality.
I posted in the other thread that Captain Falcon, Link & Snake all have precedence too. As for the others, just take their damn shirts off, or make a "battle damaged" version.This technically has in-game precedent (Metroid Fusion, Zero Mission, etc).
That's more like it.Speedo Captain Falcon, then.
Oh, I'm fully aware it is and always was pandering fan service, but it's classic Metroid at this point. You'd have to invent it for Smash if you were to do it with the other characters, in which case it becomes a bit more... obvious.I'm not one of the people outraged, but I like how the argument is "it's okay, because it's a reference to the last time they made pandering fan service."
Snake was cut, but don't worry, a male designer cut himlol
So a shirtless male wft? I could go for that.Barely passable. He didn't really get a swimsuit besides the generic black trunks, and I'm pretty sure all his alts are set with the two genders.
I want some from the ground up Grade A Beef.
Yep. The Japanese version pretty much translates to this: "But, due to the determination of the designer (female) responsible for her, this costume was completed."Hmm, so the designer's gender is pointed out in both versions of the text? Interesting.

That would be acceptable.So a shirtless male wft? I could go for that.
I know Link was shirtless in TP and Snake was shirtless in Snake Eater, but when did Captain Falcon show some skin?I posted in the other thread that Captain Falcon, Link & Snake all have precedence too. As for the others, just take their damn shirts off, or make a "battle damaged" version.

:-OThe truth is Cap's been naked all along and he just has an elaborate mask over his blue face.
Yeah, seriously look at those images from those other games.I mean we can all pretend that this isn't a blatantly obvious sexualization of a character... but come on.
I know Link was shirtless in TP and Snake was shirtless in Snake Eater, but when did Captain Falcon show some skin?
Why would someone not want this?You'll get this and like it.
