Japan literally cares nothing about correct weights, ages, gravity (hair), etc.

What were we told the height and weight of Samus Aran was? Something that struck me as borderline nonsensical as well.

So yeah, people who use the metric system don't understand inches and pounds at all. Which is no surprise, considering I don't understand centimeters and kilograms without doing math.

But presumably you'd like, look it up before releasing something to the entire world, right?

So like... why don't they just come up with what he should be in metric units and do the conversion to imperial units? They might not understand that 7'6" and 171 lbs is weird, but they probably know that 2.29 m and 77.56 kg isn't right!

And MMA has been big in Japan for way longer than the US so they should have a much better frame of reference for fighter heights and weights. Just be like "oh he's a similar body type to that guy so I'll use his stats with a slight variation".

Your BMI is: 14.8
You are in the UNDERWEIGHT weight range.
Goal Setting Recommendation: To move to the next weight range you need to weigh 286.9 pounds to be in the NORMAL weight range.

Japan SUCKS at both age and weight. This is common knowledge. For their figures to even START to make sense, add 3 to every age and 50% to every weight.

I tend to add between three and ten on age depending on the circumstances involved.

Technically, yes.

Considering he's been dead for 10 years.

Although I think his official age is 35.

Actually he was 25 during Braska's Pilgrimage, which is pretty reasonable for an exiled young monk. He's '35' in FFX, but he definitely gives off an air of being more like 50.

Driving to a Brawl tournament 2 days ago we literally had this conversation and tried to Tigre out legitimate weights for these poor SF characters. Just looking at pro wrestlers Sagat could be 450-500lbs given his yolked build. T. Hawk should probably be around 550 lbs being 7'8 and steroid bodybuilder ripped. I think Bison is actually listed at 5'11 and heavier than Sagat. Couldn't try and at least retcon this s***?!

One of them looks like he's in his late 30's/early 40's, but yeah, most do not look that old.

Japan's body measurements for characters are always hilarious. I remember some pretty ridiculous ones in Punch-Out!! too. None of those got changed for the Wii game either

Pokémon weights are the most hilarious. Like check out Wailord:

47’07”
877.4 lbs

That's a BMI of 1.9. He is literally less dense than helium. Wailord would escape the earth's atmosphere and float around in space. He is a space whale.
