Well I'd more be looking for a trope about men liking giant women, but that works too. Being 6'1, I guess Rosalina wouldn't be that frightenly tall for me.

That does put things in perspective.

So really, Rosalina is too big and must be cut from Smash immediately.

It's worth noting that Rosalina is about 6'6" in Smash Bros.

Remember that weird MS Paint-looking city from Pac-Man's debut trailer? That was Pac-Land- Presumably, the stage either resets or scrolls in reverse after reaching the end at the fairy.

Ah. I had never actually watched the trailer.

And that's where the "Game and Watch re-confirmed" came from, i guess.

Greninja's expression upon hitting the camera is like "Oh well". Luigi's also really derpy.

It might be just perspective, but Rosalina appears to be taller than Palutena in the scene where she uses Heavenly Light.

I just knew this Pic of the Day would cause people to joke about British film directors. And I was right.

Gotta love how that gallery wonders if Kirby and Bowser's splats are references to splats from Superstar Saga and Triple Deluxe.

Yes, because fairly generic splat poses that aren't even the same as the games you're comparing them to are totally a reference. Yep, Bowser and Kirby would NOT have had screen-splat poses EVAR unless the other games did them first. They'd be the only two characters in this game without screen-splat poses if Superstar Saga and Triple Deluxe, the latter of which came out after this game was well in development, didn't come out first.

Also, regarding height, is 6'01'' really Peach's official height? Sorta surprising she's as tall as me... and either taller than or almost tall as Samus (Depends on if 6'03'' is with or without the Power Suit, and whether Other M shrunk Samus or just made all the men really really tall). I always knew Rosalina was pretty giant, though considering she seems able to change her size in the Galaxy games I assume she's projecting herself as larger than her original size.

I'm shorter than Little Mac if Smash Bros. is going by his Punch Out!! Wii height of 5'7" and Samus in Power Suit is 8" taller than Little Mac so she is 6'3".

His NES height was 4'8".

...That's a rather weird thing to get worked up about, even for this thread.

I will agree that Kirby's pose is needlessly stretching it (though it is something of a missed opportunity that they aren't identical), but Bowser is in nearly the same pose as the SS pic demonstrates, so I wouldn't dismiss that one that easily.

Yeah, accounting for the differences in style, Bowser's splat does seem to be a reference.

Yeah, and all they'd need to do is move Kirby's face so it's at an angle/to the side like it is in Triple Deluxe. I do feel it's a bit reaching (as is the Bowser one), but I'm not going to fault people if they see a reference since the differences between the original poses and Smash are relatively minor.note 

Favorites are Wii Fit's and Zelda's (who looks like she has a "how did this happen?!" look on her face).

I'm not getting worked up, just rolling my eyes. It's bad enough on this website with the constant misuse of Shout-Out and Expy, so my patience for people claiming one thing is a reference to another is pretty thin.

I don't think Bowser's pose looks much like his SS one, though, even accounting for differences in proportion and artstyle. It seems to just be a fairly generic (Though no less amusing) splat pose.

I can't wait to see Ganondorf's splat pose.
