Wait, 7 has a - Oh, so
that's the last empty slot. GOSH DARNIT NINTENDO CURSE YOU AND YOUR SMASH SPOILERS
... Wait, Lucina's a spoiler? Huh.
Apparently, the ESRB would disagree with you regarding that - Both Melee and Brawl sat pretty at T, with Smash4 being set at E10... though that may be due to the removal of the ability to... ahem... upskirt the Princesses (there's now a black abyss under those dresses).
Call be oblivious, but I actually didn't notice any changes to Samus (other than the outfits which show more skin and the rocketheels), and Shullllk... well, I could attribute that to the double standard of "oh, it's
funny to see a guy running around in his boxers. But when a girl does it..." but that's a whole other discussion.
(And we both missed Palutena's Poledancing. HOW DID THAT GET PAST THE RADAR? HOW IS THIS A KID'S GAME?)
From what I've seen of Shantae (I was introduced to her through the kickstarter for Half-Genie Hero), she's a scantily clad, belly dancing lady of considerable bust size, which... at least out of context, can seem a little bit provocative. But I guess the final decision on how appropriate this is falls to the Smash team.
That said... having only played the demo for Bayonetta 2, yeah, no. That's not happening. At all.
Anywho, now that DLC Characters and outfits for the Mii Fighters are a thing, what other DLC/Patches/etc would you want to see in Smash?
Patch-wise, I would like to have an in-between mode for how much customized characters are allowed, somewhere between "You have to play with the Vanilla Characters" and "You have alt stats, special moves, and weird extra effects." I'd also like these rules applied to the Amiibos and their ridiculous stat growth.
DLC-wise... stages. music. But more than that...
Interesting Alt Costumes for characters (seriously, more than the balance tweaks or added characters,
this is why I liked Project M.). Like...
Peach:
Actual Daisy (with Daisy voice?),
Mario Sunshine outfit
Shulk: Some of the other armor types. I was so miffed that they only went with his starting equipment. Also. Glasses. I want my nerdy swordguy back. Failing them being actual characters, it'd be neat to have Shulk's Final Smash randomly select a different duo of characters to Chain Attack alongside him.
Luigi:
Mr. L. Just...
Mr. L.
Yoshi: YARN. I LOVE YARN YOSHI IT'S ADORABLE.
Pikachu and Jigglypuff: MOAR HATS. Also, one that has the Light Ball hanging from around Pikachu's neck.
Zelda: Hilda colors, I guess. ... A Tetra-esque outfit, if they could pull it off?
Link: Stop toying with us, Nintendo. Give us the actual pre-tunic outfits from SS and TP... Oh, also. HYRULE WARRIORS OUTFIT! I WANT MY SCARF TO BILLOW IN THE BREEZE!
Toon Link: ... and don't think I don't see you there without an Outset garb!
