Can we talk about the lack of female fighters in Smash?
Gameplay is a secondary concern to diversity to me. If they choose to include a plant over another woman in a female-starving roster, don't ask me to applaud them for it. Of course all these other additions being men, Incineroar aside, does nothing to inspire confidence or goodwill either. WTF characters as you call them are fun and fine in a vacuum, but draw ire when women are as under-represented as they are.
Let's see: Peach, Daisy, two versions of Samus, Dark Samus, Inkling, Mii Gunner and Wii Fit Trainer (all of who have the female versions as their default), Zelda, Shiek, Palutena, Nana (who is half of the Ice Climbers) Lucina and female versions of Villager and Pokémon trainer. That's plenty of female reps right there.
Connor Powell
>mostly female newcomers >males still 99% of the roster
There's plenty they could add. Off the top of my head there's Pyra Roll Ribbon Girl Morrigan Viridi Madusa Krystal Chun-Li Amy Rose Tifa Jil Lara 2B Etc.
Jose Scott
>alternate costumes of male characters >Samus and Zero Suit are """""different"""""

Logan Gomez
I'm fine with more cute and funny characters.
Easton Cox
why are you saying this HERE like the people HERE are gonna not mock what elsewhere would be a regular complaint youre either naive or trying to start a shit storm regardless heres my take: smash is about nintendo+friends icons theres just not as many nintendo+friend icons that also happen to be girls
Parker Nguyen
> gameplay is a secondary concern to diversity to me And that's why your opinion is invalid. Games are fun first.
Chase Campbell
But PP is female, bro.
Carter Powell
I seriously hope none of you are actually taking the bait make use of the options field
This triggers me so much. Please put the last two tiers into the can be either category. Who cares what people call them, it's about what they are. Also Mewtwo is genderless. Mega Man and Dark Samus are not genderless. They are male and female respectively. Also who's to say whether Mr. Game & Watch is actually a male or not. Seems just as genderless as R.O.B. if you ask me but that's speculation. Good catch on Wendy.
Please make these changes, I don't want to have to remake this myself for it to be accurate
Duck Hunt is male? Guess you learn something new every day.
Jace Collins
Pirhana plant is female
Xavier Garcia
no, naval has a dick
Blake Johnson
noooooo Duck Hunt should be either. you're so close! Also it's unknown what Piranha Plant mating looks like so it's more likely agendered but that's not something we have an answer to as far as I know
No. Ivysaur don't have gender differences you swine.
Hunter Gutierrez
What is the minimal PGR ranking to get a cinnpie gf?
Dylan Hill
Ivysaur has the deepest, most masculine voice in the game
Henry Bailey
Who cares you stupid fucking ingrate. It's a different species of animal/plant hybrid it can have the deepest voice in the world and still be female. Just because human females are higher pitched than men doesn't matter as far as Pokémon retard
The dog is almost always referred to as "he" so I don't know. Regarding Ivysaur, again only Venusaur has gender difference so again it's probably just both.Plus real Venus Fly Traps have both parts so I'm guessing PP is the same
Ethan Jones
Uh huuuh? That's Venusaur you piece of filth. As you can see there the females have a seed in their flower for pollination. You do know the difference between Ivysaur and Venusaur right user? Fun fact: Venusaur is the first Pokémon in the National Dex with a gender difference. Not Bulbasaur, or Ivysaur which have none, Venusaur.
You're either retarded or trolling either way fuck off
Man, you would assume that, considering female Venusaur has a seed, it's pre-evos would as well, but it simply wouldn't be visible because the bud is closed.
Wyatt Carter
EPONA
Nathaniel Clark
i wouldn't have found those images without typing venasaur so.... anyway, what said
Juan Bennett
A fat naked nigger babushka, she’s in!
Bentley Wood
But listen, Duck Hunt, is not just the dog of fame. It's also the duck, the hunter, and if you want to be really pedantic technically the wild gunman as well. Anyway that's not important. What's important is that the duck and dog have different patterns depending on the alt. In some of them as seen here the duck has distinctly female dymorphic features, and every dog which is not the original brown one who laughs must be both, considering at a glance we don't know what gender each dog is. Either way the correct category for Duck Hunt is both, but you can stick it in the Either tier to keep it clean
Also, as part of the "trio" the hunter is actually the one holding the light gun, which of course can be either male or female
Well you know what they say about assumptions. Ass out of you and me. Neither Bulbasaur nor Ivysaur have gender differences and must always be referred to as it/they unless otherwise specified
You're wrong. You lose. You lost. You're done. Ivysaur is not female.It doesn't matter what you think, it should be called they or it. No way around it. You've been exposed. Your logic is faulty and your character is besmirched. Leave my sight before I obliterate you further you contemptuous puny ant.
We just got a fuck ton of female fighters in Smash 4, and a couple more in Ultimate.
Hunter Nelson
It has the form of a suit of armor
Hunter Lee
the logic lines up pretty well actually, the seed is there for the grown, so it should be there for the younger
Brody Butler
its called super smash BROS. this is a fucking mans game. sorry you pussy women dont like it. this game is not for you. go play barbie. this game is for men who know what they want out of life and arent going to just sit and complain about it but actually DO IT. the only women that are in the game are there for men. for sex. like peach, palutena, samus, isabelle etc. there are not there for you to push your feminism on. they are for us guys. so stay the fuck away.
Aaron Brooks
>the grown
Look at you, barely functioning brain. Pokémon do not "grow" into their evolved forms they evolve. Their cellular structure is reconstituted. There's no evidence that Ivysaur would have a a seed or not have a seed because there's no differences between the Ivysaur sexes. You cannot look at them know by looking whether it was a boy or girl. You'd have to say it's a boy if you were guessing, because the species is 87%+ male. But in most render the budding flower is completely closed, leaving the seed mystery off the table, and when it's not closed whether its a male or female cannot be discerned. As for a reference here's the ultimate render wherein the bud is slightly open but mostly closed
why did you take that bitch's twitter post and put it on here without context?
Eli Clark
putting that seed in there was conscious decision, couldn't have been for nothing. plus, pokemon evolution is closer to insect metamorphosis and species that go through it do have sex diferences that carry over. there seems to be more supporting that ivy is female than there isn't, isn't there?
Talking about it pushes people further and further from you from reaching your goals. Mainly because nobody gives a shit about useless women in fighting games. It is 100% true that men are stronger than women in several aspects including leadership and containing emotions and not letting them clloud our sight. Send a women into real battle and watch them collapse because "oh shit this is so scary! I would never want my kids to see this! I'm on my period no!" And cry on the battlefield only to get blown to pieces or captured and raped to death. They are made to be mothers and to nurture mankind and the generations to come. Men are made to protect that and put themselves in the way of death for a woman. Not the other way around.
Most if not all female characters from Smash and/or Nintendo commit /ss/ if we're going by the number of fanart
Juan Martin
Can we talk about the lack of fat fighters in Smash instead?
Anthony Campbell
>Wendy doesn't count >Male as default skin but has female alts What did he mean by this?
Tyler Moore
Peach Daisy Rosalina Wendy O' Koopa Samus Dark Samus Zero suit Samus Zelda Sheik Lucina Robin Corrin Bayonetta Palutena Mii Pokémon trainer Pikachu libre Jigglypuff (I guess) Lucario (maybe) Incineroar (also a maybe) Inkling Nana Villager Isabelle Wii fit trainer
I think there are already too many If we have more I wouldn't be disapointed. I personally dont care the gender, I just want someone with a desing I like, and if it has some new or interesting moves/mechanics its also a plus
you know, noticing that that image is from brawl made me pop in ultimate to check if it's still there. this can't be a coincidence. anyway, new stance, ivysaur is male
You really typed this entire post to feel good about yourself when you fell for the shittiest bait I've seen in weeks.
Alexander Gomez
that last tier is retarded
Charles Peterson
How is Smash Ultimate compared to Smash 3ds? I bough 3ds recently, never played Smash before and I like it very much. But I wish characters wouldnt float in the air so much
Brayden Carter
It. Is. Not. Male. Ivysaur and its evolutions and all Kanto Pokémon were made before genders were even put into the game. The designs have changed, but when they retconned some Pokémon to have gender differences when they were introduced in Diamond and Perl, they chose not to give Ivysaur a gender. There's no way to tell if it's male or female, and it is not referred to as "he" or "she" in any official media. Therefore you must refer to it as it or they. No exceptions. Alas due to your display I can now identify that you are in fact a sub 70 IQ tribesman from the Latin jungle who doesn't know how to use toilet paper so it's no wonder you can't rub two brain cells together to figure out this really simple mental task. You stinky filthy third world piece of shit. How's like as a 4 foot nothing brown smelly goblin women won't get near with a 10 foot pole?
Brayden Ross
There already are 20 female fighters in Ultimate. 21 if you count the gunner, fuck off.
Matthew Morgan
If you want to count Wendy as a female newcomer then the number of males skyrocket because you have to count Larry, Roy, Iggy, Lemmy, Morton, and Ludwig.
Adrian Harris
MegaMAN you fucking idiot.
Christian Ross
That is not what is implied
Nolan James
I agree with you honestly, but in the interest of absolute clarity it must be done. Yoshi is the species and it has been said numerous times that Yoshis can be both male and female, although they are often called males, it's possible they are all hermaphrodites considering males of the species produce eggs. As for "Mr." Game & Watch, the title is simply an affectation given so that the amalgam of Game & Watch games he pulls his moves from can be given some character to represent them. He physically changes his form into several different entities, and while you can assume they might all coincidentally be male, there's nothing stopping the octopus he transforms into from being a female or the lion tamer or the chef. Granted the latter two look traditionally male, but what's to say that denizens of Flat World, despite having the visage of men and women are actually biologically men or women.
In other words, if anything Piranha Plant, Mr. Game & Watch, and Yoshi could all be in their own tier called "unspecified". I could change it to that if it suits your fancy, but this way is more clear.
Oliver Smith
Okay shut the fuck up. I am GAY and I think this diversity bullshit is retarded. Gameplay beats everything.
Kevin Ward
genders are a thing now so inclusion and exclusion of seed has meaning. also I usually fuck white girls, they're way easier
Jason Lopez
It is called super smash "bros". If anything they should remove all the female characters. It's arguably false advertising.
Camden Lee
There are so many goddamn girls in Smash. Are you retarded?
Isaiah Mitchell
Yeah I'm suuuuure you do you Gabriel Iglesias looking mother fucker. I bet your sweaty beaner slime is making your wife beater stick to your fat poop brown man tits as you type buddy. You don't have a chance in hell of ever getting your tiny limp splotchy pecker anywhere near a girl who doesn't have diabetes and a limb, some horrifying rancid la goblina with missing teeth and BO that smells like tortillas left out in the Oaxacan sun for 8 years. In your veins runs the blood of those cartel """""people"""" who slowly kill your own brothers in the most brutal savage and disgusting ways possible and LAUGH. They LAUGH you fat fingered roach coach lawnmower pushing dish washing libtard cuck who votes how the jews tell you to vote because you don't have the brain power to think your way out of simple easy to understand problems like does Ivysaur have visual indicators that let you see what its gender is by looking.
Answer: no it doesn't
So go behead your own people to the giant snake god somewhere else, and remember that you'll never ever get the land we took from you guys. Byeee byeee byeee! Bye! See ya later beaner! Fucking retard.
Adrian Jones
keep the land, i consider it fair trade for the girls. tho i am gonna miss female ivysaur she was the best
Connor Miller
It really shouldn't matter, as a crossover they should (and do) do their best to simply represent games best as they can and make sure they can be fun. To go for diversity would cheapen the feeling tremendously.
Still made this because these iffy lists were triggering me. You guys don't even do it by number, fuckin posers.
FUCK YOU WHERE IS THE DIVERSITY IN THE GAMEPLAY MELEE EVERYONE PLAYS DIFFERENT IN SMASH 5 CALL OF ULTIMATE EVERY SINGLE CHARACTRR PLAYS THE GOD DAMN SAME
Jace Torres
This is the brain power of a spic ladies and gentlemen. Post yourself no one believes you get any girls let alone the cream of the crop
All pokemon other than Mewtwo could also be female, even though all the ones based off starters skew 87.5% to male.
Chase Taylor
seeing as that's the jiggles from the pokemon anime shouldn't it be female?
Isaiah Sanchez
That's your headcannon. Not a single trophy or anything says that. All in-game material uses "it".
Jeremiah Carter
Just because the Miis are create a characters doesn't mean they don't have genders. The first thing you do when you make a Mii is select their gender. You should put the Brawler and Swordfighter in default male and the Gunner in Female default. What makes you think Kirby is genderless?
Because ultimately there aren't many female Nintendo characters left that are actually worth adding.
Dixie Kong is basically the last one I can think off that actually deserves it. Basically every other option is either forgotten, not important enough or just don't really work or "dance" as a fighter.
With third parties, I do think there's a little more leeway, with characters like Jill Valentine.
That's debatable and something I thought about doing to be honest. But the concept is that they can/should be anyone or anything so I did it this way.
I chuckled.
Brody King
no brain power is needed when your opponent isn't making a case. anyway you keep crying race, i'm gonna have a beer with my new friend, male ivysaur
Jason Fisher
Yes, videogames are about fun. But they shouldn't oppose social and scientific progress.
Ryan Mitchell
I agree, Smash needs more sexy girls. When they appear on Smash, they usually get a good amount of high quality porn, and I'm always ready for more fap material
>Join Arena >Wait twenty minutes to get into a game finally >Host shuts arena down because he lost the last match
Charles Thompson
Wait a minute, you're right you can make the Mii's face look like anything you can still only choose male or female as a sex. Not sexless or even genderless, so in actuality it's incorrect to say that they're not male or female
I did not know that thank you I now believe my list is technically 100% accurate
Exactly and without something physical to clue me in like Pikachu's tail I got nothing so I just put them in that last category.
Jose Torres
No it isn't. Mine is. Mr. Game & Watch is a shapeshifter with unspecified genitalia while it is an octopus. There is not reason to say which gender is the default. There's nothing indicating that Yoshi and Kirby are genderless.
His name is MISTER. Do you need to see his dick? So he can turn into an octopus, that strips him of his manhood?
>Yoshi/Kirby Nothing in the US localization of Smash but if you know the characters from the source it is explained and in the Japanese version they specifically use gender-neutral terms.
The dub slipped up here and there with a lot of things. Also smash Jigglypuff is not confirmed to be anime Jigglypuff.
Christopher Edwards
She's better than any of the ones we already have
Luis Hernandez
Yeah OP made so bait and dear God this thread just ran with it
Bentley Carter
assist trophy, literal who, guest character in recent Mario game. Woah
Nolan Campbell
not following them doesn't mean they oppose social/scientific progress
Gabriel Bennett
I'm saying him changing forms precludes him from being being confirmed to only be male. It makes it go from excursively male to potentially exclusively male and that must be accounted for. Gender neutral does not mean sexless. Kirby and Yoshi could have no sex, be both sexes or are one of the sexes. Not genderless
Oliver Gomez
This, no more watercolor sword wolves
Kayden Cook
Because Villager, Robin, Wii Fit and Corrin have a 50-50 split. Bowser Jr has like a 85-15 percent or something.
Hunter Cox
Nintendo snaps its fingers, and 8 characters of the male tier are transformed into female characters across time and space. Reality and history will go on as though they've always been female. Who do Yea Forums pick to turn into girls? Hard mode: Provide logical reasoning for your picks. Nightmare mode: Said logical reasoning can't have anything to do with wanting them to be sexy girls.
Leo Diaz
Link, Pit, Dark Pit, Simon, Ken, Marth, Young Link and Toon Link. Marth, Link, Simon, Ken and Pit already got girl haircuts and the other three because clone/reincarnations would probably be the same gender.
Daniel Torres
So in your funhouse mirror world any character with shapeshifting powers has to be classified as no gender/unspecified? So Mystique from X-Men is not a woman to you, she would be unspecified? I'm sorry, that shit makes no sense.
Yoshi's gender is such a clusterfuck but it's more commonly genderless (in Smash as well as mainline Mario/Yoshi games) pre-localization (much like Kirby) so I went with that.
