OH WAIT:
But yeah, I guess it totally doesn't fit in with Smash, because all of the other fighters are dressed in full battle gear, like suspenders, or a tie, or nothing...good point. |
THIS is how you dress for a god damn sword fight. Not like those... wuzzes you showed.
And this is more aking to Samus than those two you showed off. There's a reason she's wearing her armour.
I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!
Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

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.

As I said, I guess you prefer the "battle armor" or all the other characters, such as suspenders or just a tie, or dresses, or the characters who aren't wearing any clothing...
Smash takes costumes from the games...very few of them are battle armor. Your point that it doesn't make sense for fighting is less than moot...
| Brii said: Hate to say it, but the video game industry isn't terribly welcoming for females in general. It's difficult to willingly insert yourself into an environment where you are the minority, and the majority makes it abundantly clear that it doesn't particularly care for your input (Not just gaming, and not just for women either). It's like putting a sign on your clubhouse that says "BOYS PREFERRED, BUT GIRLS PERMITTED IF THEY DON'T COMPLAIN". It's not an exclusive club, but it does more to deter them than entice them. If you want women to participate, you would have to actively encourage them to and help reverse the mindset that they shouldn't. It's not enough to leave the doors open for all and ignore all the previous bad blood that been incurred over the years. Again, that isn't just applicable for women and video games, either. Also, some of the members' signatures and avatars don't... really help much. Seeing scantily clad women and bouncing boobs while trying to scroll through the boards isn't exactly appealing to most ladies, surprisingly enough! I've gotten used to it, having been following the industry for awhile, but ya gotta admit, most males would be none to keen on joining a board where the majority was women and several members per thread have a signature with homoerotic pictures of shirtless men.... hmm.... I might be giving myself ideas. |
Sadly I think you're talking for deaf ears in this case...

NSFW
Let's just make her into this:
Because that's almost the same thing.
How is Samus usually depicted in the games? How is Donkey Kong usually depicted? Samus almost ALWAYS has her armor and DK almost ALWAYS only has his tie.
Tell me what reason there is for Samus to run around in bikini in this game? Why should she be dressed like that?

Really? Looking at all the users with feminine anime-ish avatars and sigs, I thought most here were female. Hmm.

hmm.. I need me some blue PVC..

Objectifying women for the pleasure of men? That's not wrong? =) What really grinds my gear is that Samus is one bad ass woman, and seeing her like that.... man... |
That's one hell of a stretch to call it objectifying. Making a female character more attractive to appeal to male fantasies is not a crime. It happens to men not only in other forms of media but in video games too.
PM me if you wanted to say anything else. Might take a look at the old thread, because I'm obviously missing something here.

@.@ well aren't you alarmist...that isn't even close to being the same thing. One is work out clothes that were featured in game and the other is an obvious pornographic situation (that image is pretty NSFW...you should probably label it as such)
Also, you were the one complaining that she wasn't wearing a suit of armor, not me. I was just pointing out how ridiculous that was...
And why would she be dressed like that in a game? Because she is typically under her power suit, which is likely very hot and very cramped, which is why she would likely opt for wearing less clothing and as I've stated multiple times, this is fairly common work out gear...you are the one who is turning this into an issue of oversexualization and objectification.
Why would she dress like that in this particular game? Because the whole series is a love letter to fans, with plenty of obscure callbacks to different things, including costumes, such as this ne

You only think in extremes and it's mind numbingly ridiculous.
