After the Smash 4 Little Mac trailer where Samus made fun of how short he is, I think she'd be a really good fit for a secret character in the next Punch Out, yeah. They could even give her that animation as a taunt, it'd be great.

I've seen way too many pieces of Little Mac x Samus fan art to ever accept them as rivals.

Is Samus still over 6 feet tall or did Sakamoto screw that up too?

Only in armor, she's something like 5'5" in the Zero Suit now. :v:

I don't think they officially retconned her size but there are a lot of characters that are a good head or two taller than her in Other M so they either reduced her height (or simply didn't take it into account) or everyone in Nintendo Space Land is loving huge.

Or it's now operation on Sonic rules. Normal sonic characters are like waist high compared to normal people.

And then Sonic Boom happened and now they're like a foot and half taller than they were.

Originally she was over 6' tall without armor.

Wiki says 6'3" in most games without armor, but then 5'1" in Other M. God drat.

I don't think that Other M measurement is officially listed everywhere, people just guesstimated based on Samus' height relative to the other characters ans the difference between her height when she is/isn't wearing the suit. I tend to think they were just ignoring stuff for the sake visual contrast rather that consciously making her shorter or whatever.

Incidentally, Little Mac was made much taller for the Wii version: he was originally 4' 8" (132cm) but they jacked him up to a towering 5' 7" (170cm).

He's not little by any standard at 5'7. I mean, that's just an inch shorter than the average height for an American male. If you're gonna make him taller than a (admittedly kinda silly) 4'10, at least make it 5'4 or something.

The wiki also says she weighs nearly 200 lbs without armor on, which is almost double Little Mac's weight. Samus is buff as hell. But it also makes it kind of weird for her to be shorter than Little Mac at the same time...

It's Nintendo - the same game company (well kinda) that has a game (Pokémon) with a whale which is 14.5m (47') long and weighs only 398kg (877lb).

That's only roughly twice the density of air. It's a whale which literally wouldn't be able to dive in water!

Oh yeah, good old Wailord. In fact, depending on how you interpret the Pokedex data - 14.5m is listed as its "height" - you could end up with its stats being even more absurd. If you do go with 14.5m as its length, then approximating it as a capsule 14.5x5.6m big, Wailord is only slightly more dense than air. If, on the other hand, it's the other way around, then the poor dude has a density of 0.07 kg/m3. That less dense than pure gaseous hydrogen. What that thing has on its inside is deeply mysterious.

To be fair, he's quite little compared to the other contenders, let alone the (former) Champion.

The AGDQ speedrun of this game includes triggering a few camera glitches, one of which shows a side view of Mac vs. Bald Bull. It's kind of hilarious how far over Bald Bull has to crouch to bring his face within punching distance. :v:

What bothers me more is that they updated his height but not his weight. Little Mac is cleary muscular, there's no way he's only 107 lbs

I was never a big fan of Super Punch Out, and I only liked the NES game okay, but for some reason, I can't get enough of this game, I really hope Next Level gets to make another one of these on the Wii U someday.

To be fair if you fight Mac as Pit in Palutena's Temple, you get this conversation:

Palutena's Guidance posted:

Pit: This guy looks ready to fight!
Viridi: That's Little Mac. As a boxer, fighting is sort of his thing. No one can match his strength on the ground, but in an aerial battle, he's helpless.
Palutena: So you want to get him in the air, and keep him from landing.
Viridi: He has a power meter that, once full, lets him unleash a lethal attack.
Pit: He seems tiny, though...
Viridi: Maybe that's why he's LITTLE Mac. But even with his small stature, he's triumphed over many heavyweight boxers. Pretty impressive for a puny HUMAN.
Pit: Bring it on! The stronger the opponent, the more interesting the fight!
Viridi: That's the spirit!
Pit: Uh, I can keep using my weapons, right?
Viridi: Ugh! Yes...

Aksys is not actually a developer; they localize bunch of Japanese games for the English markets. Ark System Works is the boys you are looking for.

Despite having really similar names, both have nothing in common with one another, besides the fact that Aksys localized bunch of ASW games.

That's not to say Aksys is an unremarkable company; they are rather brave for bringing bunch of games to the states that other publisher dare not to.

So uh just on a final note, I looked up some of the voice actors once again and found a terrifying fact.

The voice of Donkey Kong in this game, Takashi Nagasako, is not only the official voice for DK in all the Nintendo sports games and Mario Kart...but he's ALSO loving Ganondorf...in Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker as well as ALSO motherfucking DEMISE himself in Skyward Sword.

I just found that kind of amazing to realise even though he clearly works close with Nintendo but still drat.
