Honestly, I think she looks the same in terms of her waist size. Honestly, she always had more of a waist that Peach or Rosalina, (Still shapely, but thicker.) but I think the shorts really makes that waist read more than the dress or skirt did. Same with her leotard.
I'm fine with it. I'm good with most types, but I'm usually better with All-around and Speed types in Tennis. So this really works for me.
Hey hey, man! Didn't know you were one here! 'Sup? Great to see you on here, mang! Yep! I had an account on here for years, but left due to frustrations and confrontations during Brawl. I pop back on now, here and there but it's mostly the ballots that convince me to participate again.
You know... I notice how different her face looks, too. However, it's so subtle but striking that I can't put my finger on it. I want to that they thicken her eyebrows slightly, but also gave her more cheek in her face. To where they're more rounded and works a bit better with her big ol' eyes. Not sure though...
It always great to see her get some love, but I wouldn't get too excited for Nintendo noticing her since it's Camelot making this. For the most part, whenever they actually have a decent amount of time to work on a title, they'll do something that gives Daisy as much love as even most of the main-stay characters. In fact, For Mario Golf World Tour, they were all over the Daisy love. Even gave her a trailer and a place in a art piece.
I guess Bandai/Namco, too. Since the last Mario Sluggers game gave Daisy a considerable amount of screen time in the cutscenes and she even invited everyone onto her Cruiser at the end.
