Question

Am I seriously the only one who thinks Samus needs more respect?

Samus used to be Nintendos most badass female protagonist but now She's nothing more than a fanservice character and to be honest it breaks My heart as a Metroid fan.

    She's one of the strongest characters in this game and is frequently recognized as such. I'd say she's still bad@ss and still gets respect. Yes, she also has an element of fanservice, but that's IN ADDITION to her coolness and her status as a great female game character. She's not "nothing but fanservice".

    @Garnish She's frequently recognized in Smash for the wrong reasons.

    Yes, but not ONLY for those reasons. She is widely regarded as one of the best fighters, and people say so all the time. She is enjoyed for her character, strength, and ability, AND her attractiveness. And by the way, there's nothing wrong with enjoying attractiveness.

    @Garnish I never said that people aren't allowed to get attracted I'm just saying that people seems to enjoy her more as eye candy rather than as a character.

    And I'm saying that people still recognize and enjoy the things besides the "eye candy". I'm saying she has NOT become, like you said, "nothing more than a fanservice character".

    I think Sakurai's real problem with implementing Ridley is keeping him intimidating. When you take away his size, you have to work with other things to keep him intimidating, like his fundamentals, which I can't imagine being easy to balance. Why Sakurai would keep out such details is beyond me, but it sounds more convincing than just saying Ridley's to big.

    Samus deserves more respect but there are a lot of people that play her in a spammy and campy way. That makes alot of people dislike her as much as they dislike link/toon spammers.

    It's nothing to do with how she looks, but how she is being treated as a 'you-know-what' object (not sure if mature words are allowed). I dread to see Bayonetta's page...

    There's a lot of people who respect Samus for her playstyle and tier placing. It's not like everyone who mains her are only maining her for her attractiveness.
