Honestly "sexy" in and of itself is not bad. You can have sexy characters and its fine. Its when you forget to write anything else for that character in your fighting game that it gets to be eyeroll worthy. Skullgirls is fine. The characters are genuinely fun and each have a lot of story and personality to them. Hell I honestly don't even have a problem with DOA since ALL the cast is treated as a dressup doll. The girls and the guys are all sexy models there to draw attention.
Personally...I guess I fall into the "don't give a shit" category when it comes to people harping about a character being attractive in any videogame. Its called character appeal. Its one of the core fundamentals of animation. Sometimes you just need someone to be pretty or look good because you don't have anything planned and all the major roles are filled, but you need to fill a void in the game's cast with something thats at least got appeal and folks might think looks nice. In those cases "make it pretty" is fine. Its just plain marketable and smart.
Besides...who the hell goes down a street getting pissed off if someone looks sexy? If someone looking good offends someone that person should likely question why. Its not like anything was aimed directly at them.
Long story short...I'm making characters sexy if I want to in the stuff I'm working on and I see nothing wrong with it, but for the record they will serve a purpose and have more to them than just good looks because to do otherwise would be shallow and lazy.

Time to relive the salty fights we've had as kids playing Alpha 3 and Smash 64.
