That doesnt really matter though. Its still pandering to male fantasies in a way that makes this media a lot more juvinile than most care to admit

Dont be ridiculous. Are you trying to make a list of approved outfits she's allowed to design? We've seen numerous instances of them pulling outfits from old games, and they do the exact thing here and it's a problem because women in games are only allowed to dress like nuns.
Instead of focusing on the fact that this Smash Bros has so many female characters it could make a separate game, which is great, you're gonna focus on non-issues like an outfit looking like exercise clothes on one character designed by a woman that has canonically existed for years.

What are you talking about, women are only allowed to dress like nuns in games? What games have you been playing? Why does Samus needs to be dressed like that? Can you answer that? Name the reason as to why she is dressed like that.

Smash is a celebration of Nintendo games. Things are included in the games for fans. Fans of the Metroid game this is from will be excited the outfit made an appearance as a shout out to the game.
Wire Frame Little Mac, Mario Golf Mario Outfit, etc. Why are THEY there? Shoutouts to past games.
Seeing Samus fighting in this outfit is fine, because SHE LITERALLY HAS DONE SO ALREADY.
Now you have an issue with it because it's not appropriate fight wear? I think that might apply to more than Samus. Heck, by your logic we should shorten Peach and Zelda's dresses considerably so they can be more battle appropriate. And maybe mario should be in a robot suit rather than overalls.
This is literally a non-issue.

You do realize Samus received that suit from the beginning because... sexism/objectification?
I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!
Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
