That one guy did have a point, there really are no black characters in Smash, huh? I never really thought about that.
It just points to an unfortunate reality about the severe lack of black characters in general in video games. Especially as protagonists. Doesn't help that Smash is mostly Japanese IPs.

Honestly this. Doc Louis is a cool character. They should've added him as an echo for Little Mac and then people could stop bitching about there not being enough diversity in Smash

and then start complaining that the only POC is an echo.

They got the actual artist of Mythra to redesign her and even put that redesign in Xenoblade 2 for fun. I assume Sakurai, being the SNK fanboy he is, wanted her in her classic look like everyone was in that stage

Pyra is pretty embarrassing though. I know people love to make the argument that Bayonetta is also a fanservice character, but at least she's not presented as some fucktoy the way Pyra is.

Nah, I think some of those people just want a black character to fill some type of diversity quota. I would love for a black character to get into Smash Bros. but theres not really any great choices. This is more of an industry problem than a Smash Bros. problem. Smash doesnt create its own characters so they cant really put in some random black character. The fact that some people in that ResetEra thread suggested characters like Doc Louis or Cherry Hunter feels a little insulting to people like me because it seems like some of these people want diversity points. Some of the other suggestions, like Elma, arent even PoC.

Thankfully, several black users in that same thread voiced their opinion on what they think about the lack of representation and how it doesnt offend them. Its tiring to see people, who typically arent black themselves, be offended for individuals such as myself.

I think several women users in that ResetEra thread pointed out how theres nothing really wrong with a character having big breasts and they were attacked by the men user base. I think one user said she felt suicidal for a time due to how the male user base on ResetEra treated characters with large breasts because she has large breasts in real life and it made her feel insecure and hate herself.

Overall, its a horrible site. I only browse it for gaming news and leaks since thats all its good for if you ask me.

That's exactly what SJWs are. Hell, even on this site I've seen an SJW insult try to lecture a transgender user on what they are supposed to think about transgender issues.

These are basement gremlins who are desperately seeking validation from minorities yet get angry when minorities don't follow a hive mind.

About the only valid thing in that entire thread was the point about Mai. She can't cameo because of boobs yet they add Pyra, why by far has the biggest boobs in the entire roster.
Mai also has very skimpy, loose attire that shows off a lot of her skin, and also has copious jiggle physics.

Pyra and Mythra show less skin, and even less in Smash.

Also agreed. I would LOVE for there to be actual Black Fighters in Smash, but there needs to be actual Black protagonists to choose from first, and the gaming industry is very lacking in that. The Japanese side is one thing, but it's especially glaring that American-made games also tend to shy away from them.

But that also point towards another issue of there just not being enough Black game designers and directors--people with actual pull and not just the grunts--in the industry, to help add those characters to the fold.

Not to nit-pick, but isn't Elma a PoC? In the sense that her usual depiction is a sort of ambiguous brown. She's not black, obviously, but she looks like a sort of darker skinned Asian woman.

Unless you mean her other appearance, which is much paler.

In the character creation of Demon's Souls remake, the initial character choice was black. Many people decided to change that...

I mean, technically there is an Inkling costume or two as far as black characters in Smash goes. It's not a lot by any stretch of the imagination, but it's SOMETHING. They could have easily made a black pokemon trainer too if they put in some effort.

2. In small doses they are very amusing to laugh at.

It's the fact that she's not even human; she's a literal alien wearing a human disguise.

I only care this time because they're talking about a Smash Fighter that I'm interested in and was pretty much my most wanted Fighter (well, Rex with Pyra/Mythra was).

Sure, but her mimeosome, which is what represents the character for 99% of the game and cameo appearances is a brown woman.

Inklings and villagers

Honestly though the lack of black characters in smash isn't a remark on nintendo specifically as much as it is a remark on the dearth of recognizable black characters in video games.

Most of the most famous ones are side characters. Main characters are few and far in between and most of them don't have very successful games.

The ones that do are like, Grand Theft Auto.

So people always rolling their eyes at folks complaining about "another white main character" but it has problems downstream as well and this is one of them.

I'm bothered it's not the original clothes
When Corrin got added to Smash. they covered her thighs.
But for the 2D art, they left her thighs uncovered?
When Mythra and Pyra released as Spirits in Ultimate, they gave Mythra tights, because legs too sexy. Pyra had no alterations to her outfit.
Now that Pyra/Mythra is a fighter, Mythra stays as censored as she was, but Pyra has had her thighs covered up (because 3D thighs are too sexy, but 2D thighs are A-OK, apparently).

Third party characters are always going to be kind of a long shot and there's not many first party characters to choose from.

They can probably add KOS-MOS + T-ELOS echo or skin but they just royally fucked that up. Great chance to add a non swordfighter at the same time.

Oh well.
