Why is it that AAA games and Indie games have to be separate entities (In terms of "indie has innovation, AAA has the budget")? And no, big-name companies can in fact, afford to make innovative games with their massive budget. Big games have had big innovative and artistic achievements before, and can do it again. Just look at games like The Last of Us, Portal 1 and 2, and Spec Ops: The Line. Innovative games with massive budgets.
Umm, how is The Last of Us innovative? Sure it supposedly has a great story, but the actual gameplay and setting is pretty generic. The same could be said about Spec Ops as well, but I give it slightly more slack since the story is something not many other games have done.
Innovation doesn't have to be gameplay-based. Innovation can occur in storytelling and presentation just as it can in gameplay.

I'm not terribly excited about Cloud being in SSB. While FF7 is one of my all-time favorite games, Cloud is probably my least favorite character in it. I'd much rather see Tifa, Aerith, Vincent, Barrett, Cait Sith, Yuffie, Red XIII, etc. be included instead. I understand why he was chosen, however, given that is one of the most iconic JRPG characters of all time.

The idea that adding someone like Cloud and any other of the 3rd parties they've added in the series somehow "devalues the IP" is one of the most ludicrous and asinine statements I've ever heard from the Smash Bros fandom.
Personally I'm getting sick of the whole "NINTENDO ONRY!", "MUH PURITY", "MUH INTEGRITEE" mentality elitist Nintendo fans constantly display whenever it comes to 3rd parties and Smash. Smash is still mainly a Nintendo franchise, but it's obvious since Snake's and Sonic's inclusion in Brawl that Sakurai's wanted to go beyond the horizon and do things people would never expect, especially after saying he wants to turn Sm4sh into "The Greatest Character Game Ever", and it's obvious he's sticking to it's word. It's not like the 3rd party characters they've included so far are a bunch of no-name, obscure characters from some Japanese dating sim only the most hardcore of hardcore Nintendo fans will know about, every single one introduced have some of the biggest icons in gaming, from big name franchises of the biggest companies in Japan. Hell bring back Snake and we'll have Nintendo, Sega, Namco, Capcom, Square, and Konami under one belt. That thought is insane, and something I would've never imagined happening in my life, and it's already insane as is
It's obvious that Smash is no longer a celebration of Nintendo's history, instead it's become a celebration of gaming as a whole. Period

I just think that Final Fantasy and Street Fighter are overrated and there are better IPs to draw from

To be fair, this long-winded rant about stuff and the other one about "SJWs" were only the second and third of your posts that I've actually read and this was the one that prompted me to look up your posting history to figure out wtf your damage is.
Please stop changing your name/avatar so that it's easier to keep track of people not worth giving attention to.
Changing of content to fit the region, or "censorship" isn't all that bad. People may rant about preserving the integrity of the original work, but, the changes made in works to fit their demographics make each version a unique experience. Yeah, some of the changes may be dumb, but as a whole, they tend to make sense. I guess I'm an uncultured American for having this opinion, and all pure Japanese works are superior, no matter what, but what do I know? Only the right opinion is allowed on the internet.

I feel like people would complain less about censorship (because that is honestly what it is) if the option to enjoy the original version would be easily present rather than a hassle. Even then, appealing to certain sensibilities is always a slippery slope. Removing the breast size meter in Xenoblade Chronicles X was definitely the final straw for some people since customizing breast size is a very integral part of character design.
I think it's funnier in hindsight because for some reason they think adding guys like Cloud, Snake and Ryu is somehow damaging to the series' "integrity", yet they're perfectly happy with having a hundred more Sonic characters whenever you see them post "fanmade rosters"

This is just one of the few things that cracks me up. Of all things to be the final straw. My unpopular opinion on it is everyone's choosing a really bad final straw on this game. "IM ANGRY THE BOOB SIZE CANNOT BE CHANGED", aside from making the game needlessly sexual, what difference does that feature actually make? Good. I'm glad they took it out. Now there will be less sticky gamepads out there in the end. Also it's not a good excuse "OMG THEY TOOK AWAY THE CUTE CLOTHING, I CANNOT VIEW HER UNREALISTIC SEXY LEGS NOW" oh my god please get someone real to help you out with these urges. Censorship = bad, that's understandable to the max. Angry about the nudity in this game being reduced when it's totally irrelevant is like being proud you can access Hot Coffee in your GTA San Andreas.
Also PS isn't the boob girl in question suppose to be like 12-14 in the game? Maybe I'm wrong on that one but if she IS that just adds to the awkward.
I wouldn't mind if they sold the censored version as the base game and then released DLC that unlocked the censored content. I'm pretty sure everyone would be satisfied with an arrangement like that. The puritans can play their game without being oppressed by the presence of breasts, and the few who really care about cut content can rest easy knowing they're playing the version of the game that was originally intended by the developers.

It's the player's custom avatar and not the underage girl that's had the boob slider removed.

First off, breasts are not immediately sexual. Second, like what if the character the player had in mind was flat chested or had only a slightly larger/smaller than usual cup size? Now they're stuck the default and can't change it. Third, not everyone enjoys having content removed because of a few other people's sensibilities and you shouldn't either. I'm assuming you're an adult and can make your own decisions, so why let other people who don't know you decide what you can and can't handle?
While I personally don't care about the feature being removed too much, I can understand why some people would be bothered by it.
