Peach seems very out of character, she doesn't seem like the type of person who would dress like a s***, and her design in Strikers doesn't really fit with the Mario style.
-
She seems okay to me.
-
What I mean is Peach wearing such a skimpy outfit doesn't seem like something you'd see in a Mario game.
-
In a normal Mario game, her pink long dress is fine and her attitude is that she's nice to people. In the Mario Strikers games, though, i kinda agree that her attitude change doesn't exactly fit with her personality, much less the skimpy outfit. But keep in mind that in any Mario sports games, she has a competitive spirit, just like most of the Mario characters do.
-
Well, the Strikers series, like all Mario sports titles, are separate from the real Mario canon. They're just fun sidegames that don't really have an impact on the true Mario storyline in any way. IMO, it's okay to have Mario and friends go out of character for the sake of a meaningless sports title. As long as the game, itself, is enjoyable, I'm fine. Besides, it would be kinda dumb if all the females in the Mario world were girly-girl all the time.
On that note, I really didn't like Peach's voice in Charged. She sounds too... teenage. I know it's meaningless sports game, but I think they could have done better. It's kinda funny, actually.
-
I like Peach's voice in Super Paper Mario. In other games, she sounds too hyper.
-
I'm also wondering, didn't a third party make Strikers?
-

Well, you certainly wouldn't see her playing soccer in her dress, but I do understand what you're saying. Maybe it's for attracting as many people as possible. And the Japanese have an eye for those sorts of things.
-
So I guess that mini-debate on the "Peach in SSBB" thread now has a home...
Well, the Strikers series is very obviously third-party, and though soccer (football, really) is quite popular/fast-paced and frenetic, I can't grasp the game's SUPERHPERMEGAULTRAOMGKABOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/b] art style.
Yeah, maybe it's a little out of character, but I'm not complaining. Just thank God Nintendo isn't planning a volleyball game (or not......
-
Yes! I can see it now! Super Mario Volleyball! Featuring Peach in a bikini!
-
I was thinking more along the lines of the SSB series; you know, just all the Nintendo girls in general: Samus, Peach, Daisy... oh, my GOD, what am I saying?!?
-
The day I die will be the day that Peach, Zelda, Daisy, and Samus are featured in a DOA-style volleyball game.
-

Oh my! If that happens, she'll really be a bit more controversial if we see her in a somewhat skimpy bikini. Oh la la!! :D

I dunno, I think I'd be able to live with that. XD

Oh, but Mario would probably be in heaven!

I've always thought of Mario to be more out-of-character than anyone else in this game. I mean, look at him!

he is able to keep a cheerful, forgiving personality when Bowser kidnaps Peach over and over, but he gets all angry and serious in a soccer game? Where was all that energy when he was fighting evil villians and such?
-
It's a spinoff, remember?
-
Eh, I was being very sarcastic. Yes, spin-offs seem to ruin characters general personalities. Sometimes, anyways.

Haha, you're right about that.
-
Don't forget that soccer is the source of 30% of the world's anger.
-
Well, it's an ethnically diverse sport for starters.
-
What, is Mario racist, or something?
-
"Soccer is the source of 30% of the world's anger."
Some people dislike others who come from different ethnic backgrounds. The fact that soccer is ethnically diverse attributes to the (ahem) "anger" that Suffix was speaking of.
-
A Mario Volleyball game? That arleady happened....
in a mini-game in Mario Party 5. And Peach ain't wearing a bikini in that game...she has her dress on!
-
Wasn't that Mario Party 4?
That minigame was really fun, too. Played it a lot.
-
Ditto. I enjoyed the hockey game from Mario Party 5 too. Same can be said for the basketball game in Mario Party 6.
-
Back on topic I guess, I found Peach's design totally okay. I mean, yeah, it looked like a skimpy battle suit straight out of every RPG, but it's a change of pace, or something. It also opens the possibility of Mario in a thong, which is even better than Sonic in SSBB.

Suddenly, Glorb, I am not interested in changing the subject back... PaperLuigi, ethnic diversity is not what I was talking about. I was talking about sore losers, rowdy fans, and insults. It happens in such a sport, and the sport is worldwide.
-
Actually, that comment was just a sad, sad attempt at making a joke. :P
But yeah, since soccer has all that and is worldwide (as opposed to say, football) it is a pretty angry sport.
-
Ah, but football is worldwide.
-
It's just not what the Americans call 'football'
-
I think both sports can learn from each other. Soccer/football/futbal needs more throwing and tackling, and football/rugbie/whatever needs more head-butting and size-increasing power-ups (wait, it already does! *rimshot*).
-
Well, I think that both Super Mario Strikers and Mario Strikers Charged, Peach shows that she is both a girly-girl and a tomboy (why post this? I was arguing with Peach-paradise members about this) It's not a surprize Nintendo changed Peach..They did it because obviously stated previously, she can't play in a dress. What is she to wear? Nintendo wants to take her into the modern world, showing her belly button is no new fad in the real world.
Wait til Mario and SOnic @ the Olympic games come around...they HAVE to put Peach in a swimsuit..she can't swim in a dress...I've tried Peachy!
-
she can't swim in a dress
Mario Party 4 wants to disagree.
-
And 3.
-
It's quite difficult to play football in a dress. If you don't mind being ridiculed for life, try it. See what I mean?
-
The Scotts like to play in skirts - er - kilts.
-
That's different. Kilts are short. Peach wears a full-length dress.
-
*Wooosh*
-
I'm very glad you brought this up....Yes...
