Peach is Very Out-of-Character in the Strikers Series

[ZGDK]

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.

[PaperLuigi]

She seems okay to me.

[ZGDK]

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.

[PaperLuigi]

I like Peach's voice in Super Paper Mario. In other games, she sounds too hyper.

[ZGDK]

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......

[SushieBoy]

Yes! I can see it now! Super Mario Volleyball! Featuring Peach in a bikini!

[ShadowBrain]

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?!?

[Pt_Peach]

The day I die will be the day that Peach, Zelda, Daisy, and Samus are featured in a DOA-style volleyball game.

[Eric B. (Shnoogums)]

Yes! I can see it now! Super Mario Volleyball! Featuring Peach in a bikini!

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!
