Poll of the Day > It's weird that people act like Bayonetta is some tall goddess.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like...she's not tall? People always use these weird measurements like "head to body ratio" to determine that she's 8 feet tall without considering that...she is a video game character with unrealistic and impossible proportions? She's literally shorter than almost every NPC in the game except for the short man Enzo and the children. Are all other characters in the game over 8 feet tall as well lmfao?

Probably because the game gets wonky with proportions, FOVs, and camera angles.

But yeah, Bayo is not that tall. Luka is taller than her even.

Isn't she a witch?

Yeah like the best thing I can maybe argue is that like, Bayonetta is very tall for a woman and Luka is very tall for a man. Bayonetta is about the same height (with heels on) as a typical male NPC in the game.

She's taller than Ganondorf in smash who is like 7'6....sooo.

And Olimar is canonically less than an inch tall and every character is of comparable height to him in Smash...sooooo.

So that means Pikachu, who's about half of Ganondorf's height is actually close to 4 feet tall?

That's for gamplay reasons, obviously. How else would he be in the game?

If bayo wasn't that tall they wouldn't have made her taller than Ganondorf.

There's no reason for it gameplay/design wise unless that's her actual height.

Most of the SSB heights don't line up between franchises because it's not something Sakurai cares about.

Ridley is famous for being small.

So you're making the same argument but in reverse now? Lol

just have her stand next to joker

joker has an established height

Yes because it's stupid to assume that literally every character, except for a specific select few, is their canonical height when it's clear that most of them are in fact not.

A lot of them are actually pretty close. Not exact, of course but stuff like Ryu, and joker from persona being the same height is accurate.

Because the characters couldn't be in the game without being scaled down/up. What about that is so difficult for you?

I believe Samus is canonically 6'2", but I don't remember how her height compares to Ganondorf's.

I'm almost positive Other M retconned her height, she was only ever that tall in the Metroid 2 manual

She's gotta be at least 6'5"
