I woke up this morning to the news that Mai Shiranui won't appear in Smash at all, not even a spirit. While I am disappointed, I cannot blame the staff for doing the right thing: Smash is for all ages, and Mai's sexuality is very distracting. It could have been a major issue for ESPN/Disney, since I do recall some of their tournaments getting aired on television sometimes - and supposedly I'll have to throw in Nickelodeon as another network that airs Smash in some capacity.It's just gonna be really weird where, when you read into the list of spirits, every SNK character will be represented except for Mai. At least I can take solace in that she is on Nintendo via SNK Heroines. It's just mixed feelings for me.
it was a CERO rating issue. the amount of skin shown is a big deal. it's why some artwork had to be edited. default outfit mai wasn't gonna fly

how is the leak/fake nothing.until someone makes a convincing mii outfit mod, or until the fifth fighter is revealed and has nothing to do with mario rpg or bethesda, it's valid

It was, supposedly, a leak of Mii costumes for characters from the same games as them, and the leak for the COSTUMES is actually valid, but implying that those costumes indicate that Doomguy and Geno will be DLC is just random speculation and have no logic behind it, we have Mii costumes from characters whose franchises have no official fighter added, like having a Sans costume without any playable character from Undertale, so those leaked costumes don't indicate the inclusion of anything other than themselves.

Yup cause a lot of people are complaining on twitter about Mai, but in the end, they have to worry about CERO first. I love all the stuff in this DLC pack, you can tell Sakurai was marking out when he was working on Terry.
Seems like SNK was super excited to have their stuff represented in Smash. The KOF stage featured a lot of characters from the SNK universe, we have a nice handful of spirits and on top of that, we got 50 tracks from SNK for Smash with some Metal Slug OG and New Mixes among them. I LOVE the new mix of the Metal Slug theme.

one thing I noticed was that there was no mention of a final smash for Terry, unless his supers are the final smashes
You might want to watch the whole thing again. Yes, all 45 minutes of it. His Final Smash was mentioned.
No Marco Mii Gunner is so unfortunate but...Even though Rock Howard's Theme from Garou MOTW, K's Team music from most KoF games and London Stage music from CVS2 didn't make it, 50 songs from SNK games puts in BIG shame Square Enix since they're still so strict to share almost anything.
Yea, I wouldn't expect Rock's MOTW theme to come back due to the tribute it has in it. It's why he had a new song made for KOF14.K' got two of his team themes in and CvS2 is a Capcom game.
From eariler, UT also got that character's theme as well for some reason. Not sure where it plays or why it's in, but it's there too...If heavily loved and memed songs have chances, I would like to see anything from Initial D. I believe it was an arcade game foremost, correct me if I'm wrong.
It came with the costume. They're not going to start adding random music to the game, especially not from a video game adaptation of an anime.
My bad did not know Intial D was an anime. I just knew it had a wild amount of meme parodies like Megalosomething.Yeah, Smash Ultimate has nothing on Mugen as well.
It is sad that Mai couldn't make it in.I've seen censored versions of her costume that would have worked fine.
