| Mr Khan said: My serious thought is that the heels as part of the design are almost an effort at a joke on Sakurai's part: he knew about the uproar over the heels in the Other M design, so he made a Smash design that emphasized the heels even further, but made them useful (in the form of jet-boosts) giving the character a much needed buff and "empowering" her (literally!) through the use of exaggerated heels. |
You know, this is Sakurai... you could be right. Had it been anyone else, I would have been doubtful... but this is the guy that trolled us at least a half dozen times during the Smash Direct (Psuedo Palutena troll was golden). If so, that's a pretty funny jab at both Other M and the people outraged by it. I still think it makes her animations look awkward, though. And not a fan of the bright yellow accents.
