Might be the first DLC I'm getting, I really like Mythra. Pyra is a bit whatever, nice color scheme but too much sexy waifu for me, although I appreciate they toned it down, however slight.
And what of the people who genuinely enjoy the characters for who they are in the game?
They can surely continue enjoying the characters. Nobody is telling them otherwise.And what of the people who genuinely enjoy the characters for who they are in the game?
They shattered my expectations, this is quite the interesting and bizarre choice, considering "Smash is for good boys and girls of many different ages"
But hey, unorthodox picks is always fun
Doesn't negate the concerns surrounding female representation and sexism unfortunately mate. You're welcome to enjoy what you like, but it's a bad look to think that's as much of a positive about the game as what we've mentioned is a negative.And what of the people who genuinely enjoy the characters for who they are in the game?
I'd say world design is its biggest strength, and music second. Mechanics are brought down a bit by the reliance on gacha elements.Meh, that embarrasing anime shit that is xenoblade's 2 story, characters and dialogue dosent do anything to improve the smash roster. Guess in the covid era they needed a shulk variant. Dissapointing. But hey, big anime titties sell.
XNC2 is only a good game mechanics wise.
The breast size is absolutely worth commenting on. Remember these are not real women, but characters that were specifically designed this way for reasons. Those reasons are obvious, to appeal to an assumed straight male audience.On page 9 (50ppp) you already have a couple of women who were saying to stop it. The hint is, talk about the character design, the outfits, etc., but not the boob size lol
I feel like this should be incredibly obvious.
Sure, but the other things you mentioned are more of an issue, right? The outfits make it obvious what the aim is.
Hell, I saw a post earlier saying they would be fine if the boobs were smaller and... I feel like that wouldn't make anything better.
Exactly. Like with ZSS, that's obviously not how clothes work...

I have large breasts, something I'm uncomfortable to mention in this thread, not because people are criticising the design, but the dudes in this thread lusting after their breasts size. I've seen some posts in here talking about them as their big titty waifus. Literally.
Here's another thing, most women with breasts that large do not have a tiny waist and skinny arms and legs. Yet it's almost always that way in this kind of media. Why do you think that is? These are things that need to be critiqued. They aren't trying to represent women like me, they're trying to objectify us. And it shows in this thread. Now that's misogyny.

Yes it's incredibly annoying seeing the Pyra fanboys try to act like people bothered with the designs are the REAL misogynists. Quit concern trolling guys.Yesterday watching the Direct I vomited a little bit in my mouth seeing the camera angles, boob socks and the outfits of both characters.
Exactly. They are not representing women with big chests. They are using women with big chests for their own gratification. Including many posters in this thread.
You can enjoy who a character is in a game while still being critical of their visual designs. These aren't mutually exclusive things.
My understanding is that their BLM movement fizzled, but I may be misinformed.
But black people are still WILD rare out there, which is my whole point. They're not going to put us in a game at random because it's not their daily life. It's also not representative of the population in a way that it would be in an American-made game.
2% of the population is "non-Japanese," and black people are a small portion of that.
She's freaking beautiful.
I dropped KH when I heard 3 dropped FF characters, clearly I was being a fool. Between this and I Wanna Be The Guys sharing their path through I really am getting hyped to dive back in.
Thanks for sharing the art!
I Want to share my happiness with you all.
In my room I have a little corner where I've put the drawings that my daughter has made for me because she knows I like Pyra a lot, just next to her figurine. I can see her amiibo there already!!
And I recorded my reaction because I was really feeling it! (sadly I had a job meeting call in the middle of the video, haha)

They're cartoon/stylized proportions. But I guess I'm just a stupid woman that can't tell the difference, huh?
Guess I'll take my tits and get the fuck out of here. I'm getting really fucking sick of all the men that keep posting this same shit over and over and over. Over and fucking over. Every same fucking thing. One of the reasons I've stopped posting on this fucking place.
Yes, exactly.Pyra and Mythra have superhuman physiques but I legitimately like their outfits -- great color schemes and textures and overall silhouettes. They look amazing in Smash. And those who played Xenoblade 2 know they're absolutely wonderful characters. I teared up seeing them again. Xenoblade 2 was such a deeply fulfilling game.

Twintelle was right there but she wasn't even considered for the roster.
What the fuck are you talking about? What generalised statement? What dismissal of women's opinions? Back that shit up right now.Twintelle was right there but she wasn't even considered for the roster.
Nomura stopped with the Final Fantasy cameos because after the release of Kingdom Hearts II, Final Fantasy crossovers were no longer a novelty.
If there's any time for you back into Kingdom Hearts, it's now. The next saga of the franchise is basically Versus XIII in all but name.
Your daughter is a talented artist, nurture her skills because she's going to do amazing art under the right guidance.
You're entitled to your valid opinion but don't try to dismiss the opinions of other women by making a generalised statement.

You know, there are some of us that hate the sexualization of Pyra/Mythra and other women in gaming but actually like them as characters without it being about their boobs.
It kinda seems like the implication of this is that the poster you're replying to shouldn't say bad things about the design because other women that aren't being addressed by the post like the designs? It's kind of a leap from this to accusations of dismissing the opinions of other women and a real bad look to call what was posted that.Some women like Pyra's and Mythra's design. Just look at the art posted on Twitter, Tumblr and Reddit by women.
And stop with the targeted profanity.
What the fuck does that have to do with anything I said? How about you stop hiding behind what some women happen to like and actually address the points of criricism. I like 2B as a character but her design is still sexist objectification.Some women like Pyra's and Mythra's design. Just look at the art posted on Twitter, Tumblr and Reddit by women.

And stop tone policing, thanks.
however 81 is a power of 3Is it a bit odd how i am glad Smash Ultimate's roster is ending on a even number (82) instead of a odd number (81)
Lmfao at you quoting the ToS that I wrote at me. The mansplaining is at a peak here. Maybe you should read this part, which you are blatantly breaking with your condescending bullshit.That's not what I said at all? I said her points were valid but that not all women share her opinion which is an objective truth as I quoted a woman who liked her design. That wasn't to invalidate her opinion but to reinforce that not everybody shares said opinion.

The Importance of Being Respectful
"Please be respectful when posting in threads. This includes when you post about the topic at hand and especially when you address other members. Do not make unfounded and inflammatory accusations to discredit and/or antagonize your fellow members (such calling them a shill, astroturfer, etc). Do not shame users based on their post count, avatar choice, or what community they belong to. Avoid hurling insults or making disagreements personal."
So no, I am not "tone policing", I am just trying to have a civil conversation. Like I said earlier, your points are valid but they're not universally shared with every woman.
Dismissive and Disruptive Behavior
Low effort, inflammatory, or insensitive drive by posting is always unacceptable. However, it is especially inappropriate in serious and sensitive discussions. Threads involving race, gender identity, sexuality, sexual assault or harassment, sexualization of minors, or any marginalized minority groups should be approached with sensitivity. Dismissive or disruptive behavior in these threads will be usually be met with a ban. The following are examples of such behavior:
Dismissing the importance of issues that concern women or minorities and/or denying the experiences of users affected by these issues.
Lamenting or mocking the sensitivity or "outrage" of others in reference to legitimate concerns, or claiming that members are pretending to be offended.
Condescendingly talking down to people who are affected by sensitive issues.
Trying to derail the discussion such that it is no longer about the group of people that are affected by the issue.
Attempting to shut down the discussion altogether.
Framing support or defense of abhorrent views as questions in order to make them seem acceptable, and/or as a means of shifting the burden of proof on to others.
Please note that dismissing, downplaying, or making light of sexual assault allegations will lead to a lengthy ban.

For real. Some straight up sealioning with literally posting the guidelines to try to tone police a person who wasn't even doing what they were accused of.King Kingo Types like you that hide behind the smokescreen of civility while dodging questions are rather tiresome. You're just trying to shut up Aerith.

I reported you as a mansplaining fuckface. Hopefully that isn't too uncivil.So we're resorting to personal attacks? I'm not falling for this bait. I'm under no obligation to answer every question that come my way. And like I mentioned earlier, I'm not invalidating anybody's opinion.
it's not just that, so so many manga artists started their careers publishing hentai dounjinshi before getting a SFW serialized jobgenerally everyone has drawn a naked figure at some point in their life, that's different.
Well, if future connected is any indication.......... maybe or maybe not lolI haven't played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but I find the last scene in the trailer with Shulk somewhat interesting... Is a crossover between the two worlds possible for Xenoblade Chronicles 3? Would be a pretty dope setup and finale for a Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy.
I don't have really strong opinions on the characters themselves but I'm glad they brought back the switching gimmick. There was a lot of room to expand there.

Shulk is a DLC blade in XC2 so the ending of the trailer is a reference to that since the characters have met each other before.I haven't played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but I find the last scene in the trailer with Shulk somewhat interesting...

Honestly, I don't really understand what happened in Future Connected. Lol.Well, if future connected is any indication.......... maybe or maybe not lol
I still think it would be neat to have a charcter like Gen from SF where it's the same charcter but their idle stance changes and they have different movesI don't have really strong opinions on the characters themselves but I'm glad they brought back the switching gimmick. There was a lot of room to expand there.

Here's another!
Xenoblade 2's DLC made the crossover happen already
