![]() Size jokes aside, there's no other Metroid character that should become playable in Smash Bros than Ridley. Seriously, the series has no other possibilities, screw the hunters from Prime 3/Hunters and the less talked about Other M, the better. It's all about the Pterodactyl-esquean space pirate, and I think the only other character that has a comparable amount of requests to be playable is Mewtwo (returning as a veteran obviously). Feel free to discuss except size discussions please edit: ![]() Your case was truly unfortunate Rids, but at least all the speculation around you can end, and I still think you look cool!

Well I really don't think he belongs in Smash. But I feel he is unavoidable. Seems the fans are asking for him, and they really want to sell Wii U's. So I feel they will add Ridley for that reason alone. That being said, Ridley does have a great moveset. |

I don't think Ridley is any worse than Giga Bowser presentation wise, and we already saw him as a boss fight in Brawl and as a trophy in Melee as well, I don't think he's that unfitting if you were referring to his aesthetic design. |

All of my want .Metroid needs another rep that isn't Samus, and Ridley is the next most well known from that franchise. |

I agree with the Giga Bowser comment. But is that really what we want? Another Giga Bowser? I mean in most versions Ridley walks on all 4 legs, while hunched forward. Terrible design. Not to mention his tail is his most used form of attack. Yes he has other ways of attacking, but if we strip Ridley of his soul, would he still be Ridley? |

Despite all my joking of how Ridley is too big and previous post of simply "No", I think Ridley wouldn't be a bad addition. I just don't see it likely, and not because Ridley is "too big," but because he was basically confirmed as a boss/hazard on that one stage (I doubt it's Meta Ridley). |

wait, why would they remove Ridleys tail? If I'm not mistaken, Brawl had some stickers that raised a characters tail attack strength, among them Yoshi, Pikachu, Diddy Kong and I think one of the Starfox characters were included. I don't think that'd really be a problem to keep him away from being playable. |

Well there are a few different versions of Ridley, and I think the one in Other M was a clone? Either way I'm sure they could come up with something to get him in. |

No I mean his main form of attack is lunging his tail forward. Which IDK, I can't help but feel it would be a bad design for Smash. Plus he is already a stage hazard. I dont see how he can be both a playable character and a stage hazard...

I definitely want ridley, hes one of my top 3 characters for this game. And frankly he deserves it, his design is no more awkward then any other, and if anyone could make it work sakurai and team could. His scale is no problem, and i dont think his tail or wings would be either, theres a work around for everything, and if anything he could be the opposite of little mac, in that his gimmick is being airborn while sucking on the ground. |

This is what I alway's wanted to see from Ridley. I've seen too many movesets suggesting him fighting on the ground, when I picture Ridley I alway's picture him in the air. Of course there would be balance problems and possibly adventure/Smash Run problems, but they could probably find a way around it. |

Now we are getting somewhere. Ridley with a suckish ground move set, but Boss air attacks. I hate to admit it, but that could totally work. Also... Other M spoilers Spoiler: click to toggle

welp, I had a dream last night where I got the 3DS version of the game earlier and went through what I assume was a Smash Run stage where Ridley appeared as a boss...but afterwards I decided to replay the stage and the "warning! challenge approaching" screen appeared with Ridleys logo, I think I'm getting a little bit obsessed over this game |

Well, it could be possible. Honestly, this "Ridley as a stage boss" thing has been teased for over a year. I can't shake the feeling off he's a secret character, today's PotD description makes me think there's someone significantly bigger then Rosalina playable. |

Stolen from the Smash Boards, today's "filler pic"(which seems to be debatable on whether its a mini-game or not) actually has the biggest hint ever:
