Peach doesn't have as great a body figure as Samus does, though.

Also, I didn't realize she wasn't going to have her suit pieces anymore. Dang, that's a big blow against ZSS.

There isn't much to say, I guess. She looks merciless and badass in the one pointing her gun at Luigi's head... but poor luggy :scared:

I made a comparison between Sheik and Zero Suit Samus to show off how differently they're portrayed:



Sheik is portrayed as athletic, not sexy. Sure, she has curves too, but her booty looks tight and compact, almost like a male butt. And look at her arms - they have visible muscle tone.

Samus is portrayed as sexy, not athletic. Her booty is big (just look how much bigger it is compared to Sheik's) and looks full, soft and plump. It's not fat, but it's definitely not firm either. Her arms are slender and thin, but lacks the muscle of Sheik's arms.

When it comes to the female form, athletic is usually not considered sexy. Soft, curvy and plump is considered sexy for a woman. So even though Samus logically would have an athletic build, she does not - because it would make her look less sexy.

Well she isn't known for punching so her arms won't be toned unlike sheik who is trying to look like a man

Sheik is a man again... of course he's gonna have a male butt. Why would Samus have a male butt?

that's ****ing bull****, it has nothing to do with being horny. she's made of ****ing polygons, it's all about character design and development here.

it's about the right anatomy. and while non of this stuff is going to bother me once i've got one of the games in hand; it's interesting to say the least to discuss this.
for the way she performs in her own games; i've got to admit, her body doesn't make much sense this time around. and while it certainly doesn't bother me because she really looks stunning this time around, it just feels weird and doesn't give me the appeal of what samus used to be.

by that i mean i think it's a kind of a shame we're getting zero suit samus of samus without her power suit on in every game nowadays. it's like they are saying ''look lets just get this out of the way right now; samus is a girl, girls have breasts. here's a great shot of her breasts while she's wearing the zero suit. she also has a great as take a good look at that too. alright now that we're done with this here's the game.''

i remember when i finished super metroid as quickly as possible because someone told me she was actually a girl and i couldn't believe it. and there she was.

what made samus ''sexy'' to me was how little we knew about her, or even saw of her. she's like this kick ass girl that lives in isolation and works alone to defeat monsters that are 10 times her size ( except ridley cause he can fit into smash shut up. ) and after every amazing adventure you go through with her, in the end you are reminded again she's actually a human being - infact she's a beautiful young blond woman.

you know how when a girl isn't fully undressed, like in her lingerie or panties? that's more sexier to most because it leaves something to the imagine nation. the thought of what's under there is even more sexier than the actual sight of what's under there.


that what makes samus beautiful to me. and i still don't mind the zero suit or anything, inf act i think it's one if her best ''suitless forms'' because it shows her body, it shows she's female and beautiful. but it doesn't reveal anything at all. and with that while i still don't consider it a bad design choice this time around; i do think her breasts and booty are way out of proportion for what she does. she's more of a sexy bounty hunter now instead of what she's used to be;

a bounty hunter, that also happens to be sexy.

And I think you were right about that... but if it's OK to continue here, sure.

It's not just the hips - it's the junk in her trunk. It's all the burgers and space snacks she has gobbled up which has transformed into beautiful curves.

Her booty is as big as it was in Other M... and completely different from how it was in Brawl.

When you say "correctly", exactly what do you mean?

For balancing reasons or whathaveyou, I'm glad that no longer having the scattered suit pieces actually happened. It just felt forced when I or someone else used her and I didn't want to play with items.

Maybe it's selfish, but at times I kinda miss too when Samus had that mystique to her in where mostly only those who fully beat a Metroid game or within a certain time knew she was a beautiful female, and that was all we saw of her without the suit, but now her being suitless is just shown in everything. Not something to complain about necessarily, but you know.

ZSS definitely has some modeling issues going on, particularly where her torso connects with her leg. I've noticed that issue in at least 3 shots. It just seems to exist in the Wii U version at this point.

She may not have much muscle in her arms but her legs look well toned. Plus, she is supposed to be super flexible (even beyond some human standards) so imagine her being that bulky.

Well, to be honest, she doesn't really use her arms much in the series, nor on Smash. She kicks, runs, jumps... But only in Smash has she actually used her hands for fighting, and it came in the form of weak jabs.

I think they did a great job on her hips

Also correctly = they got nice realistic details like back and butt and arm muscles
LOOK AT SHEIK

Well, Sheik is supposed to be of a ninja-esque group of people (Sheikah), so I understand the toned muscles and lean look. Samus uses her armor as her weapon most of the time, so she hasn't had to condition herself to the levels of the Sheikah. She also has Chozo blood which enhances her physical abilities, which kind of excuses her athletic abilities when talking about body toning. In any case, her legs are nice and her arms are on the slimmer side, which explains all the jumping, landing, running, kicking, and whatever else there is that she does with her legs vice her arms.

I've noticed this too. Hopefully it's because they're still polishing the models and not because there's a lack of polygons to make them look good.

I have to disagree with this. Her legs look slim, not toned. There's no visible muscle tone on them, like on Sheik's arms or Samus's legs in Super Metroid. Yeah, she's supposed to be flexible, but her booty doesn't follow that logic. It's all big and plump.

Well, to be honest, she doesn't really use her arms much in the series, nor on Smash. She kicks, runs, jumps... But only in Smash has she actually used her hands for fighting, and it came in the form of weak jabs.
I think we should exclude logic here - her butt is too big to fit into a "flexible, gymnast body". She kind of had that body in Brawl, but in this game? No, I don't think so. They went straight for sex appeal regarding the looks of her body - slim waist, wide hips, plump butt, slim arms, big boobs. If you look at real women with slim arms and slim waists, they almost never have buttocks as big as Zero Suit Samus - because they don't have enough fat for that. And you can't control fat distribution.

WOWOWOWOWOW
I'm starting to think that you're as obsessed with hips as I am with butts. :-)

Yeah, you can tell Sheik is toned - especially if you compare to the untoned Zero Suit Samus (note: having a flat stomach doesn't automatically make you toned). As you said, Sheik has visible muscle tone on her arms, back and butt. Samus has none of this - her butt is just big. :-P For example, IF they implemented jiggle physics, I don't think Sheik's butt should move - it's too firm. Samus's butt on the other hand would jiggle quite a bit...

Well, Sheik is supposed to be of a ninja-esque group of people (Sheikah), so I understand the toned muscles and lean look. Samus uses her armor as her weapon most of the time, so she hasn't had to condition herself to the levels of the Sheikah. She also has Chozo blood which enhances her physical abilities, which kind of excuses her athletic abilities when talking about body toning. In any case, her legs are nice and her arms are on the slimmer side, which explains all the jumping, landing, running, kicking, and whatever else there is that she does with her legs vice her arms.
Heh, once again, I think you take real life logic too long into videogame territory. :-) But strictly speaking about IRL logics, you're right.

However, I can't emphazise enough how much I like that they actually make the models different. In Dead or Alive, for example, all the girls' butts look virtually the same, it's like they're using the same models for everyone and just change the faces. But here, there are obvious differences between Sheik and Zero Suit Samus.

Well, if you compare her Jab on Wii U and 3DS you can see it's not an issue on 3DS. Considering that the Wii U version is coming out later, I'm sure most of the issues will be corrected. But like Brawl, I do expect SOME model oddities with ZSS.

Hey Lokii, no need to worry, the fever will eventually cool down and these silly debates will end soon enough to enjoy the eventual animu discussions game when it comes out

It was never a war. It was more like an aggravating wait at the DMV.
I know, but I just like saying that sorta line at times like that.

And yeah, none of that will last by the time the game's actually out.

I made this and posted it on miiverse - ofcourse it was deleted :(
That's weird. This post:



was not deleted. It actually became rather popular, getting over 20 comments and over 50 yeahs.

Miiverse moderation is really random some times... maybe the case of your post could've had to do with their automatic filter program?
