It was removed saying \\\"I think she (and this trope) should have some leeway if you\\\'re driven by panic and grief\\\". I\\\'m not sure that\\\'s correct. Wanda\\\'s moment of panic and grief, when we could not expect her to calculate things and do the reasonable action, was when she arrived to the empty lot and created the Hex by accident. We couldn\\\'t say \\\"she should have created an Hex within the limits of the lot\\\". But when she closed it, that\\\'s another matter. She controlled her powers enough to move the limits of the Hex and, even if in pain, she was still collected enough to think about what she\\\'s going to do. She completely falls into the realm of \\\"she did X, but she could have done Y, a minor variation that would provide a much more satisfactory resolution, and anyone who stops to think it for a moment would realize that\\\".

I can agree with that the number of mentions in the article was excessive: I\'d suggest reducing it to a single mention. It\'s not a major aspect of the character, but it \'\'is\'\' an aspect of her appearance as an Assist Trophy in this specific game (which is also why I \'\'didn\'t\'\' seek to add this information back to the main Star Fox character page: it\'s not relevant there).

\\\'\\\'\\\"You are also assuming that someone intentionally modeled Krystal\\\\\\\'s anatomy to be explicit... in the same game that deliberately blocked players (...) With all that in mind, of course I am going to be skeptical about this heavily-scrutinized E+10 rated game containing uncensored female anatomy for one specific character. (...) And with good reason - while a small game like The Apprentice may be able to get away with it, a big-name Nintendo game like Smash could never allow it.\\\"\\\'\\\'
Let me start by saying that all sorts of games have gotten and still do get away with this sort of thing, big name or not:
https://www.nonfictiongaming.com/2017/04/10/final-fantasy-15-files-contain-nude-character-models-nsfw/ <- Teen rated game with nude, fully detailed character models hidden in it.
https://www.cracked.com/article_21462_6-bizarrely-sexual-easter-eggs-lurking-in-kids-video-games.html <- List of games with sexual easter eggs. The first being a character in Ratchet and Clank with massively inflatable breasts.
http://www.flyingomelette.com/oddities/nudesnes.html - Bunch of old Super Nintendo easter eggs. Nintendo has been hiding things like this in their games for decades. Smash Bros didn\\\'t even censor panty shots at all until CERO essentially forced them to.
Back to the topic: If Krystal was a regular, playable character, I could understand being incredulous... but Krystal is an \\\'\\\'Assist Trophy.\\\'\\\' She has a roughly 1 in 60 chance of appearing in the first place, and even then, only \\\'\\\'if\\\'\\\' a player uses an assist trophy item, so seeing her \\\'\\\'at all\\\'\\\' is like winning a minor lottery, let alone specifically noticing what\\\'s under her loincloth (Of course, perverts would try peeking the moment they saw her, but that\\\'s not your average gamer in the middle of playing a match. Or a typical person working for CERO or the ESRB).
As for the details, I\\\'m not assuming anything; DracoKanji is. It has nothing to do with different lighting effects, and it doesn\\\'t look \\\"blank\\\" in any of those random screenshots: there\\\'s a deliberately textured heart-shape placed directly above a textured \\\"crease\\\". The colors around the crease are given shading that would indicate shadows inside the crease. That says to me that this is a result of a deliberate attempt to bypass the censors: if it \\\'\\\'was\\\'\\\' just a mistaken polygon issue, I\\\'d have never added the references back in the first place.
On a side note, there\\\'s an actual running joke among Japanese gamers regarding CERO censorship:
CERO誤魔化しテクニック
ケモノは全裸でもセーフ
Roughly Google translated, \\\'\\\'\\\"CERO deception technique: A beast is safe even if it is naked.\\\"\\\'\\\' The implication is that animal characters aren\\\'t censored as heavily as humans, so developers deliberately use furries to sneak in sexier content:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR8zxNm5rDU <- Mia, from .Hack (which is rated T) is a cat person who always wears armor everywhere \\\'\\\'except\\\'\\\' her crotch, specifically. Another example is Belladonna\\\'s \\\"True Form\\\" in Trials of Mana https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EWrqskuWkAAkIKd?format=png&name=900x900 <- she has no naughty bits, but she was designed by a known furry artist who the developer deliberately hired, and is entirely nude except for fur. With that in mind, the idea of Krystal being used to slip something by the censors is hardly unlikely.
