Why is Peach becoming so suggestive lately?

Well, I think you know.

Butt attacks, that's a pretty suggestive thing, especially when she has lots of them.

Thong, no more comment on that one.

Butt jiggle, no more comment on that one either.

And now in Brawl, she even blinks with her eye when she butt bumps you! It's easy to get the imperssion that Nintendo gives Peach a little too much fan service, don't you think?

Funny that you've got Peach doing her hip/butt crush in your avatar :laugh:

Anyway, I never really cared about this. It's worth a thought, but I guess you're just reading into it too much. Peach's probably just girlish to the extremes, but I don't think it's meant to be past "sexy" or something like that.

I KNOW I'm not good with words xD;; If I can post anything more intelligent than that, I will edit this post

Well, I didn't mean this game in particular, but Peach as a character. One butt attack can just be funny in a hilarious way, but five of them? And she has also done the thong with jiggling butt physics. Is that also for laughs, you think?

None of your business.
Maybe the developers are perverts...

Seriously, though, I think maybe that's what they intended Peach to be in the first place: a sexy mushroom princess.

That being said, I'm not one to be creepy and say things like 'ZOMG Zamus IS SO HOTT!!'

Wait, are you talking about Melee, or Brawl here? We've seen Peach in one Brawl video so far, it was a cinematic, and nowhere did we see "butt physics". None of her Brawl screenshots show a thong ether, so I'm wondering where you're getting all this.

In Melee, Peach wore nothing like a thong ether, and I haven't noticed any butt physics since the game released.

Peach pop lock and drops it. So what? My theory is that she just wants for you to be so infatuated by her good looks that you know longer have the will to put up a fight. As a result, you just jump off the stage.

Ha! Of course this would never happen to yours truly!

She wore a thong in the sports games whereshe had that minidress. Those are also the games where her butt jiggled on its own steam. However, i brought this up now that I saw that they're continuing this trend with Brawl. Now she even does winks when she butt bumps you. So I'm talking about Peach as a character, not just in this game. But this game is the latest, and seems to keep making her suggestive.

Can anyone prove this with a pic or something? I'm currently searching for one to make sure since I never played the sports games. ô_o I need to see it with my own eyes, otherwise I won't believe it

Better warn the people and make this a link, then nobody can say they accidentally saw it and are scarred for life ^^; Or PM me, that's better I think

Ah sorry, I was thinking of Smash only Peach, that's why I was confused.

Again, I don't think her butt-related attacks are suggestive at all. Like I said, if anything, their playfully flirty in a situation where that's ironic (combat, lol). I think it looks funny and clever to watch Peach hip-check her opponent off the stage while winking at them in a "call me ;)" fashion. I think people are too vulnerable to "suggestive themes" nowadays. There are many games where the lead [female] character is suggestive and extremely exagerated, but Peach? No. She's got the winking thing going there, she hip-checks with many of her attacks, but she's certainly not a GTA-style hooker. Her flirtyness in the middle of a brawl is...cute, I guess, for lack of a better term.

As or the butt jiggling...well, I can't really comment on it as I've never seen it. If it's what I'm picturing (lol), the n maybe it is pushing it a tad far.

EDIT: Yeah, just make it a link and warn people what's in it. I highly doubt anyone would be offended with a video game character in a thong anyway. I never played the sports games ether, and would like to see what you mean.

Ya, i heard about the whole thong thing in Mario Tennis in Japan.. maybe they tried to make her seductive in that game but failed, that's why Zerosuit Samus is in the game =P

NyaseNya, received PM, answered already ^^
Now I see...but I really think there's worse stuff than that. Peach was never a "sexy" character per sé IMO

There's always a bigger fish... there's always worse stuff. That doesn't mean this is nothing short of suggestive.

In my opinion, they might be trying to go the other way. She looks really cartoony in those Brawl pics. Much moreso than the new Zelda or Zero Suit Samus. Though I'm sure cartoons are a fetish as well.

Don't forget it's Japan we're talking about.

I'm really wondering about the life span of this topic. In the mean time...


Is Peach using her hips or butt to hit Mario? Is it meant to be humorous and/or sexual in nature?


You don’t have time to ponder such questions, as Link has just grabbed a Smash Ball.

Perhaps the developers have a weird since of humor......
This is Japan we're talking. They can do stuff even America won't allow. Good example : anime shows with swears.

Well, I don't think so. I think her winking and such is a improvement. In Melee, she was merely expressionless. Everytime she did her Smash attack, tilt attack, special attack, or even taunt, her expression didn't change. The only time it did change was when you hit her.

Also, keep in mind that she wasn't wearing neither a thong or panties.

Better warn the people and make this a link, then nobody can say they accidentally saw it and are scarred for life ^^; Or PM me, that's better I think
Several women, maybe, but I doubt the guys. Would you actually be scared for life if she was wearing victoria secret undergarments? :p I highly doubt it.

OK, but I hope I won't get modded because of this.. =(

WARNING! Skin showing!

After getting some feedback, I became unsure. Maybe it's not a thong after all. What do you say?

Mario Tennis:

SSX:

Is it a thong or just part of her dress?

In any case, her butt jiggles in those games. And in SSX, it jiggles too much. >_<
Wow....i never got those games, but I'd never expect her to be wearing a thong.

Okay, serious times.

I know it may seem like she's 'suggestive' but she really isn't IMO. She has her only weapons in her arsenal. They just give her moves that act to her personality and history of Mario games. Like her Fsmashes.

About her side B, ...yeah, I got nothing to vouch for that. XD Maybe they gave her a explosive *** because Bowser Toads, and even Luigi tried to hit that. So, she did a Full Metal Alchemist tatoo on both her *** checks and then went Roy Mustange on them.

Also, to a note to everyone, under her dress isn't a thong or panties. It's bloomers. It's what princesses such as herself wears in the old time. They must've gave her thongs in the sports game because of the mini skirt she wears (That and it's probably more comfortable then panties when playing sports. I dunno, I'm a girl XD).

Remember, she's still our sweet princess (thought she's more of a ***** in fighting gamesXD)

and Princess Peach is just as sexy as Zamus (I wished her hair was out instead of in a bun.)

It can be both humourus and sexual. Thing is, she has four more butt attacks. That's why it leans towards sexual rather than humourus.

I LOL'd so hard...

So, Peach attacks people with her butt, huh? So? She's a pretty sexy character to begin with, imo.

You guys... you do realize that the ENTIRE PREMISE of Smash is fanservice of various kinds, right?

The entire Smash Bros. franchise is a steaming pile of fanservice. It's not as much of a big deal as Samus' skin-tight Zero Suit.

Also, I am now forced to purchase a copy of SSX On Tour. -_-

Why not Mario Tennis, in that case? Her butt is too floppy in SSX anyway.

I think it's a change to the character to make her more independent. Relying on Mario to save her all the time is probably seen by lots of people to be sexist.

Good point. And is it really a thong she wears there? Maybe it's just the angle?

Are you kidding me?

Peach is one of... hell, she probably is the single most fully-clothed, chaste heroines in the entire history of popular video games.

As for that thong shot... Good for Mario, but it's like her *** is just hanging out there. You really had to work for that. It would be like a photographer lying on the ground between Mario Sharapova's legs, looking up her skirt, taking a picture of what he saw there, then publishing it and accusing her of lewd conduct.

C'mon, man.

Maybe it's not a thong, how can you tell for sure? The angle is all screwed up, might be that.

Haha. If it was a thong you wouldn't be able to see the rear part from the side.

In any case, it's clear Peach isn't the fragile Victorian-era daisy she used to be. She kept the clothes and the parasol, but Nintendo's taking her in a different direction. Super Princess Peach, for example.
