I seriously hate how the second game went all anime, not just in character design but even the interactions and characters themselves. I mean that's not to mention the other stuff they did in the game as well but still.

Why do you assume it was a modesty thing? Maybe they just liked this look better.

Are the voice actors all still British as fuck? I feel my teeth rotting just listening to Reyn talking in Xenoblade Chronicles.

If she appeared naked in Smash Bros., it wouldn't make up for the fact that they shrank Samus's rack.

In the link I posted:

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mythra was given a different costume with tights and a dress that covered up her chest. This was likely done to help lower Super Smash Bros. Ultimates rating. For comparison, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was rated E10+ by the ESRB, while Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was rated T.

It was definitely to censor the art and try to avoid getting that T rating. A different spirit artwork of Camilla from FE Fates was also censored, editing her top to remove her cleavage, and there might be other censorship changes in the spirits that I haven't seen yet as well.

Ah. Well, if that is the case, I don't mind them making slight alterations to get below a T rating.

I'm sensing a bit of a discrepancy here.

Didn't she also get a new skin in the game to match her Smash appearance?

The Samus issue aside, it's a beautiful thing when censorship backfires.

The ultimate goal is to reshape people's perceptions by eliminating unwanted influences. When people make up their minds about what they want in spite of the system, or when the system encourages the thing it wished to fight, it's truly something beautiful to behold.

Whether it's fetishized leggings, or something truly depraved like the Bowsette meme, I'm in complete support of this oversexualized response to an increasingly anti-sex Nintendo. (Just don't sexualize Pokemon. That's kinda weird.)

I think the fact that these fanboys who also openly express hatred for their beloved Nintendo come off as batshit insane. They act as if Nintendo is making decisions directly for or against them. It's a bit paranoid and delusional, and it'd take a grandiose sense of self to buy into it.

Do you people not realize this was already planned? the makers of the game did this first, they probably intended on showing it off to promote smash before people found it already and flew into a rage.
