The TL;DR version: The U.S. and JP fanbases pretty much act the same about this game.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.U.S.: "Eh, Wii Fit Trainer? From that shovelware crap?"
JP: "What's a Wii Fit?"
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaTsk tsk, the Japanese either didn't want Mac or didn't know him...I've never played Punch Out so I wasn't crazy about him getting in, but more characters is always better.
I like how they mention Captain Rainbow, which we didn't get over here.
He'd be fun to have in Smash 4.
See how he looks up against Captain Falcon.
Yeah, nope...
◊ Head-on, it's even more noticeably rounded. It's not like I didn't look at other screenshots of Peach.
What are we comparing?
Also, I forgot, Captain Rainbow pretty much seems made for Smash, and if this were a couple years ago, I'd have expected him in it, especially if that sold globally.

-clicks first pic- GAH!!!!
I'd say the difference there is because of a Cheated Angle.

🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaIf we couldn't see what you're talking about while specifically setting out to compare pictures, I'd blame the fact that it's not noticeable, rather than "inherent ADD".
And for the record, a much less offending term would've been "change blindness
".
The moment when you realize just how much attention Masahiro Sakurai has really been getting.
Anyway, the punchout responses were not overly negative. They were a little more from the sample but there were just as many "who dat is?" "yay, he finally made it" "oh, he's popular overseas" and "Now that I saw his movie, I want to play as him".
What has bugged me a little more is how many complained about Rosalina (said something to the effect of "this roster is a joke" or "this roster sucks" and yet) Daisy is a top pick for a new character. The complainers and the people voting for Daisy may not be the same people but the are, presumably, in contact with one another so you would think it would be more along the lines of "This roster is catering too much to [insert slur here]."
Anyway, I kind of agree with the foreigners, in regards to their poll. I would not want Captain Rainbow and probably would not even recognize him on a glance unless Sakurai release a video that made him look really fun to play. I don't think my knee jerk fit trainer reaction would have just been "*shrug*, that's weird but really funny" if I had not seen her trailer first.

That's because the image you chose is an extreme low angle, whereas her art is head-on. That's what happens to a face when you look at it from below.
Anyway, as for Mac...I'm not entirely convinced that that's not a satire of the American fanbase's reaction to stuff, since it's scarily accurate. But if it's not...there's a lot of rather dumb Japanese fans. Specifically, the ones who have no idea who he is. The guy was an Assist Trophy in Brawl. Don't act like you've never seen him.
