I find this costume somehow less skeevy than the Zero Suit, probably because it looks more like something anyone would ever wear.
Granted, it's more something someone would wear, to, say, the gym, or to bed, rather than to a battlefield, and there's still its unfortunate origins, but it's better.
I'd like, say, Samus's military uniform. That'd be a cool costume.
I have a message from another time...@Konk: That and Little Mac and especially Ike (seriously, how he got that buff is beyond me...)
An Advance Wars character could be good in inheriting Snake's moveset (if he's dropped)...

Vote. .#Bayonetta 4 SmashAgreed.
...Heck, I didn't mind the Zero Suit in that one flashback. The one where it had that harness and vest and bandoliers.
It was basically like Samus had her own Sneaking Suit.
None of those characters are really examples of Female Gaze.
A male character being especially buff usually isn't an example of Female Gaze either.

Fixed.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Ike got that buff because they based his design on Radiant Dawn, where he's a few years older, and has been fighting for a lot longer than he had in Path of Radiance- which they based his Brawl design on.
And I agree with liking the sports bra and shorts better than the Zero Suit. I still wish it was something else, but whatever.
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."Bah; you crazy whippersnappers never grew up playing Zero Mission. Y'all can't appreciate the fine game it was. *shakes cane*
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaI played Zero Mission, and I'm perfectly confident in saying the Zero Suit's not what Samus would choose to wear to a fight. The whole Zero Suit segment in Zero Mission was akin to Link losing his weapons on Eldin Volcano, or Raiden being stripped of his equipment (and in general) towards the end of Metal Gear Solid 2. The protagonist losing their arsenal and having to sneak around to get it back.

This referred more to the general lukewarm reception the casual bar wear is getting and less so the logic behind Samus opting to fight without her suit.

🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaI will say- the heels look a lot better and awesomer on the sportswear.
