Good grief. That photo of Wii Fit Trainer reminds me of a blog dedicated to pointing out the unnatural contortions female superheroes are put into. Wish I had the URL handy, but it had some hilarious stuff showing how that sort of thing would look if gender-reversed.
WHEN Smash U debuts at EVO I really hope Wiz and co put their foot down and give the game the same “nothing is banned until definitively proven as broken” treatment that all other games on the lineup get. It’s just a principle thing, it was kinda sad EVO caved in to the smash community by withdrawing it’s own compromised Brawl rules (which were based on actual tangible results not armchair theory fighter) and let people run whatever silly subjective rule set they wanted for Melee this year.
Melee for last evo was a different story. It’d be messed up if they earned all that money for the game and then the tournament organizers laid down the law on them, it’d almost be defeating the purpose. If Smash gets put on the roster on it’s own without the help of the community and actual people from SRK back it (HAHAHAHA…haaaaaaaaa…) then there it’d be a lot easier to start from scratch with the game instead of just going into a banning frenzy. But really as it stands now they’re the one’s putting the most money into it so if there isn’t enough people from SRK to support the format to offset the amount of people who are gonna say ‘I ain’t going to this tourney’ then it won’t have much ground.

@sonichuman I forgot about the donation drive, I agree they were paying for Melee so that time they were entitled to their dumb, subjective ruleset.
And deciding what and who gets banned shouldn’t be thoughtful?
I never said nothing in Smash should be banned, only that the same treatment given to other fighting games should be applied to the series as well: AKA nothing is banned unless there is undisputed proof. When SSBB came out Keits and others like myself helped run a lot of tests and tournaments to determine and then combined our data and off that alone decided what is actually ban worthy, rather than used heavily prejudiced and arbitrary knee jerk reaction bans like the smash community did.
Anyways Project: M looks fun, although it’s not something to be taken seriously as it’s inherently born out of 100% fan service, and we all know the long history of how that goes.
