While the Mai memes are still going fresh, I decided to do my take on a Smashified design for all the good little boys and girls.
View attachment 245787
My editing skills aren’t the best but I hope it’s an improvement.

Not that I dislike the design change, but I don't think you'd need to actually censor the cleavage to any extent.

In the quote below CERO seems to be more concerned with female characters lower half rather than cleavage.
https://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/09/18/cero-and-palutenas-censorship/

Sakurai: One of the first things they say in overseas ratings reviews is “no guns”—that I can understand. But in Japan, they immediately ask “could you show us all the female characters upside-down?”

Interviewer: Well, that’s, uh… Are they checking for panty shots?

Sakurai: Precisely. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U almost didn’t make its scheduled release date because of ratings issues. We had to revise Palutena and Wonder Pink’s models over and over again.

Interviewer: All because you might be able to see up their skirts? Seriously?

Sakurai: We had Palutena wearing shorts and made the inside of Wonder Pink’s skirt too dark to see anything. Nevertheless, CERO told us the designs were “sexually provocative.” They were being ridiculous and frankly quite juvenile.

Interviewer: Some players take great sport in finding that sort of suggestive material even where it doesn’t exist—they see what they want to see. In that sense, it seems like an exercise in futility for ratings boards to determine what is and isn’t “sexual.”

Sakurai: Underwear is just a piece of fabric. If you’re more worried about something trivial like whether you can see some cloth than whether a game includes firearms, you clearly ought to get your priorities in order.

That's why most of the censorship revolves around that area:

Spoiler: Smash 4

The Mai design you used doesn't actually show more cleavage than a whole lot of spirits already allowed in the game.

Spoiler: Mai & spirits

Mythra's problem was that she shows more breast because she has a boob window:

The only thing Mai really needs are the shorts.

Yeah I’m gonna doubt it now, but apparently insiders are seeing Geno as a safe bet and have had serious discussions regarding Doomguy so meh, whatever. Sabi’s info on the leak also doesn’t seem to be concrete, his source implying it could still be real.

edit: also, yeah, the other stuff Sabi said regarding the leak.

If I can be blunt,

You were trying way too hard to believe that this is real. Your beliefs seem to be only existing just to spite those who don't want them in the game. That type of mentality is frankly unhealthy and is no better than those who say "Well at least it isn't [insert character here], so it's real!"

It seems to be coming from their Discord, but not Sabi’s own. This info comes from the Geno thread, from Fatmanonice.

For as much crap people give him, Sabi and others still let him hangout and trust him, and only get mad if he lets some things slip that could get fans riled up, but he hasn’t said anything that’s made them all that mad at him and he seems very trustworthy. He’s a cool guy, and regarding stuff he’s said, Sabi and others have never said anything against what he’s saying. He’s only able to talk about Geno’s insider talk because of some public stuff insiders noticed as well, but it seems they have private info since they see him as very likely.

If Geno was ever planned to be a fighter, if that was even a concept that ever crossed Sakurai's mind, why would he bother making him a Spirit? Why give the people this consolation prize if he was gonna be playable? It's just effort put in for no reason.

I've heard the opposite; namely that Fatman isn't taken too seriously in Sabi's discord, and basically just reports on every rumor he hears from Sabi.

That, and this isn't the first time he's been super confident in Geno, only to get shot down.

this is more or less it

fatman's a fine dude and i've got no beef with him, but he has a tendency to talk about basically every rumor that floats sabi's way, verified or not, while she more often stays quiet until she's more certain about something

I’m not arguing Geno’s chances, but if takes roughly a year to develop a fighter according to Sakurai, then he very well could have thought that the pass would be the only DLC for the game so there wouldn’t be an opportunity to add any spirits. If the decision to make post-pass DLC happened after the game came out, which seems likely, that shouldn’t really be a factor.

Cool. I hope they actually make it in.

If I can be blunt,

You were trying way too hard to believe that this is real. Your beliefs seem to be only existing just to spite those who don't want them in the game. That type of mentality is frankly unhealthy and is no better than those who say "Well at least it isn't [insert character here], so it's real!"

Okay. This is where the wall of forums and text causes some trouble because you're assuming a lot of my emotions. I tried to make it clear that I was NEVER emotionally invested in this leak. I am not upset. Geno and Doomguy aren't even my top wants (Geno breaks the top 10, but not the top 5). I wanted to believe the leak because I'm tired of this Nintendo drip feed. Like I said before, I just wanted an NRS style leak that told us everything and was just... right. Because that way I know what to actually get excited for. There's no chance of disappointment at a reveal when I was able to spend the last few months not getting excited for what I want and instead getting interested in and excited for who is coming. That's what happened with Hero. If he hadn't been leaked, I probably would have been a little miffed at the reveal. But because i knew he was coming I was able to look into and get invested in Dragon Quest well ahead of time and find the things I like in the idea. Instead of just whining because I wanted them to do someone else instead.

And besides all of that, people tend to be real jerks about what characters they do and don't think are likely. They take their own perceptions on a set of rules and criteria that we realistically know nothing about and downing and belittling people who want someone that doesn't fit into that mold. I'm not mad that they don't want Geno, I'm mad because they're being an ass about it. But I probably would have believed that leak anyway even if Geno wasn't part of it because it looked very convincing to me and I didn't want to disbelieve it on the off chance that someone who was better then everyone else decided to mess with people. Like, photo-shopping a fake leak and getting lucky is one thing, but learning computer coding and modding skills beyond anyone else doing the same thing just to make a fake leak and trick people is another. One just sounds way more farfetched than the other.

See, the thing about Geno is that he's a Spirit. I know y'all are probably tired of hearing the "spirits deconfirm characters" argument, but, like...

If Geno was ever planned to be a fighter, if that was even a concept that ever crossed Sakurai's mind, why would he bother making him a Spirit? Why give the people this consolation prize if he was gonna be playable? It's just effort put in for no reason.

Why would he have put trophies of Lucas and Mewtwo in Smash4 if the idea of adding them as fighters ever crossed his mind? Why would he give fans the consolation prize if he was gonna be playable later.

Sakurai probably didn't know he was gonna get to do DLC again when he maid the spirits, and even if he did, he certainly didn't know that he was gonna get more then five additional characters. SO that's why they get the consolation prize at launch. But now that he has more he gets the opportunity to try a few ideas he was previously forced to scrap for whatever reason. That is just as possible as any other explanation because, and i have to stress this, WE DO NOT KNOW HOW HE IS PICKING THE FIGHTERS. Every rule is something we made up. It might be real, it might not. Because of that, everyone is potentially likely and a viable choice.

That, and this isn't the first time he's been super confident in Geno, only to get shot down.

So I've heard, at least.

Sabi himself and others, though, don’t seem to think this way, and just didn’t like it when he let the starling picture slip, which proves he had access to their private discord and likely others. Sabi’s public discord? Probably a lot of people against him ‘cause they don’t like Geno or just don’t trust him personally, not insiders.

See, the thing about Geno is that he's a Spirit. I know y'all are probably tired of hearing the "spirits deconfirm characters" argument, but, like...

This doesn’t matter when Sakurai didn’t even plan Season 2 DLC until Nintendo did around this year’s E3. Sakurai could very well decide to prioritize Geno this time.
