Remember when someone in the weight data thread had a heart attack over Rosalina being light, refused to believe it, and fought people about it?
oh that should be my "moronic quote of the week"
let me go find them
I'm aware of that PotD, but people have vouched for it being incorrect after spending a lot of time with her. Leading to the conclusion that Sakurai was actually referring to her floatiness in that PotD. Even when Bill Trinen was playing as her, he noted how well she can survive while demonstrating how she can survive to above 200% on Battlefield against Bowser and DK.
As for why he wouldn't use the term weight in that PotD, I believe that what we call "weight" is referred to as "defense" by Sakurai, judging by how custom equipment and stuff work in Smash 4 (increasing your defense with custom equipment makes you harder to launch, i.e. "heavier" in our terms. That's ALL it does, meaning what we call "weight" is "defense" in Sakurai's eyes).
[quote="sonicbrawler182]Rosalina being lightweight wouldn't even make a whole lot of sense because Luma is so easy to K.O as it is.
I think her being "light" is being mixed up for her floatiness, because floaty characters are easier to K.O horizontally, regardless of weight, since that floaty effect means it's harder to cancel momentum in the air and as such, the just get carried horizontally (unless the character has momentum negating moves, which funnily enough, Rosalina does have in her Down B - hence, she's an excellent survivor). However, it's harder to K.O them vertically. Samus is also like this, she's easy enough to K.O to the side, but not towards the top of the stage, and even spikes are less effective on her.[/quote]
[quote="sonicbrawler182]I didn't say an incomplete version.
The full Japanese game has been streamed the past two days. Figured you'd know it was out by now. I've had plenty of final build footage to watch.[/quote]

I've said it so it must be true and relevant.[/quote]
