I too would be outraged, because it would also probably mean that the perverted old man outside of the gym would be replaced by the lame "PC" version. So we would've never seen this:
As for this update to Smash, well I've not played it yet, but I'm willing to bet I won't even notice the difference.
I mean, as long as the characters all have the same moves (although they're free to remove Mario's FLUDD ) then I don't see the problem.
There seem to be a lot of people over at Neogaf obsessing over how certain characters moves do like 1% less damage than before or something, methinks that might be a bit extreme.
Anyway, got the update downloading in Sleep Mode at the moment, will check it out soon.
Do we know if this also fixes that glitch where some people got lifetime bans to the online mode?
