A Certain Lady Ninja Is Missing In The Recent Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Reveal; Here’s Why
Masahiro Sakurai, the director of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and his team recently announced the release of SNK mascot Terry Bogard, a special King of Fighters stage, and about 20 SNK character cameos like Ryo Sakazaki, Kyo Kusanagi, and Iori Yagami. What was missing was a cameo of a particular bouncy ninja: Mai Shiranui from the Fatal Fury and KOF series.
Sakurai’s reply on the matter? “SSBU is for good boys and girls of many different ages”. What that means is that Mai’s default outfit might be too spicy for a G-rated game like Super Smash Bros.
Exhibits A, B, and C below, in case you need to “cuci mata sedikit”:
The internet, of course, is quick to point out this inclusion and respond to Sakurai. And also remind folks that characters like Bayonetta and Zero Suit Samus get a pass, because of double standards, right?

Sakurai: "We didn't include Mai Shiranui because this game is for good boys and girls of all ages"
*Googling*
Seems like a strange reason to not include an iconic char- pic.twitter.com/gC0Jd6e7Yx

honestly the most depressing part about sakurai saying mai shiranui was too sexy for smash is seeing all the people go "I had no idea who that was and had to look her up" pic.twitter.com/4uves0BnhL

Sakurai won't add Mai Shiranui in because Smash Bros is for "good boys and good girls" but then he still puts a character in like this? What a hypocrite pic.twitter.com/IB4gOMqbVt

Nintendo claims Mai Shiranui isn’t in Smash because it’s for all ages. But I think we know the real reason: It makes Luigi uncomfortable. pic.twitter.com/QqU8jHeKnC
