Masahiro Sakurai
Masahiro Sakurai, director of Nintendo's "Super Smash Bros." series, said that Mai Shiranui was not included in "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" along with the other SNK characters, implying in his speech that the character's design was too suggestive to enter the game due to the rating board of Japan called CERO and how he wanted to maintain the rating on a lower scale instead of having to change the entire character.
