At the same time, Min Min was a clearly Asian woman. How many of those are in Smash? None come to my mind right now, so both desperately needed representation. I do agree that more representation in games would be great, but Smash is a pretty bad franchise for that: It celebrates basically games from many years past, and apart from a handful of characters, most have their IP rooted in the 80's or 90's where anything else than a talking animal or a testosterone-poisoned action hero lookalike was already pretty inclusive. Just remember how huge a surprise the original reveal was that Samus was actually a woman or how big of a deal it was at the time that you could play a badass girl in Tomb Raider instead of the usual Schwarzenegger rip-offs (speaking of which, Lara would make a nice entry in Smash, but probably misses a potentially usable moveset from her own games for a fighting game). |
Did any Tomb Raider game ever release on a Nintendo console? Since that's a requirement.
