You might remember that last week, during the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/strong><\/a> presentation which introduced new playable character Terry Bogard<\/a>, series director Masahiro Sakurai commented on the absence of Fatal Fury<\/strong>‘s Mai. In direct response to his comments, fans have decided to get Mai into the game in any way that they can. Because of course<\/em> they have.<\/p>\n

Sakurai revealed that Mai’s absence was thanks to the fact that “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is for good boys and girls of many different ages<\/a>“, essentially saying that the sexual connotations attached to Mai’s character wouldn’t be a good fit. Seemingly feeling the sudden need to rebel, some players have been representing the character in creative ways.<\/p>\n

Some players are naming their Mii Fighters after the character, often alongside a design which is about as close to the real thing as possible (thanks, Automaton Media<\/a>):<\/p>\n

And some are going one step further, using the game’s stage creator to let players jump, fight, and smash across her lovingly crafted platforms.<\/p>\n
