Well it seems as well are getting a merge between melee and brawl Peach. Her second jump height has increased significantly (closer to melee than brawl) and she got the sparkles of her melee float back (not really notable but it looks good). She also has a new rainbow up air, her up smash has a ribbon effect, dash attack might have a magic effect and side smash, at least with the tennis racket, has a slightly new animation.We all know Peach, Ike and more characters are going through mabye major changes i wanna know your thoughts and idea's on Peach.
How is Peach using her butt any different then Yoshi using his tounge or Wario using farts??I think they've done some nice touches without going too far and changed everything. The rainbow, the ribbons are both very peachy.
Now, if they just removed her sexist butt attacks and let her use her legs/feet instead...
I suppose it shows her as being sexy or flirtatious when in her usual games she's portrayed as being quite innocent.How is Peach using her butt any different then Yoshi using his tounge or Wario using farts??
Because flying through mid-air with your butt sticking out is a sexual move. Wario's farts are more of a crude nature.How is Peach using her butt any different then Yoshi using his tounge or Wario using farts??

Those are way different though. Look at the difference in body language between hockey players and what Peach does.According to gifs I've seen butt bumps are used in ice hockey. Just think of it like she learnt it from her time playing that (Plus Peach Bomber and Bair are actually pretty useful).
Ugh me too something about landing it felt sooo right.Gonna miss that Dair > Uair > U-tilt combo.
... why do you keep bringing this up...?Because flying through mid-air with your butt sticking out is a sexual move. Wario's farts are more of a crude nature.
This.

The reason I keep bringing it up is because I feel it needs to be discussed more instead of just being overlooked, which is common just because it's Peach. As you know, people talk a lot more about this when it comes to Samus for example - Peach is often overseen because people normally see her as a cute princess.... why do you keep bringing this up...?
I don't think Peach is sexualized at all in this game (not even with the panty shots... she's wearing a dress and fighting, those should be expected. It's not sexual to me at all.), and you're free to feel however you want and your viewpoint is completely valid... but I personally don't see it... and I don't understand why it's being brought up in multiple topics. ^^;
I just really don't like that Peach's sexuality and sexual expression is like, a normal topic... it's such an odd discussion seeing as she was made to be pretty and cute and she's a kid's video game icon (like, when I see Peach all I can imagine are young children and rainbows and sunshine and cute animals) and all of the sexual stuff I've seen was moreso fans coming up with their own ideas and interpretations of what she does and says... and I notice how disturbing a lot of it is... especially when it comes to fanart. I mean, I just never thought it was a discussion or angle that had to be explored but I guess I'm in the minority here. O.o
Hmmm... I mean, I always assumed the attacks were added in for comedy purposes and to paint Peach in a cutesy light. I can't say definitely if it's sexual in nature or not... but it just bothers me that every topic about Peach just has to go there. I really would love to just enjoy my female characters without having people bring up their sexualities and sexual expressions into the conversation all the time, especially because the characters I like are so... not sexual at all... ^^;The reason I keep bringing it up is because I feel it needs to be discussed more instead of just being overlooked, which is common just because it's Peach.

You're of course free to have your own opinion, but my point is that her butt attacks are sexualising her. Of course, this heavily depends on who you ask. Some people don't care about it, but maybe the butt attacks don't cater to these people?
For example, I've heard kids saying "Look, she's flirting!" when they notice that Peach put her hands on her hips and bumps her opponents away with her butt. And yes, these were kids no older than 10 years.
I've also heard adults saying "I like that attack where Peach throws herself with her butt at you!" as in, they like it because they think it's sexy.
I think the real question is why she these butt attacks? Why doesn't she use her feet/legs like a normal character instead? These butt attacks don't origin from any game, they were created for Smash. Just because most people don't see Peach in a sexual way as they do with Samus, doesn't mean this isn't worth discussing for the sake of sexism and questioning Sakurai's choice of attacks for Peach.
A discussion.wtf am I reading.
