![]() 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!

"Providing accurate portrayals of characters is something I want to pay ample attention to." Then what about Ganondorf Sakurai? Is Captain Falcon an accurate portrayal of him? |

I actually agree with him 100% on Ridley. And why I had doubt about his inclusion until the Pyrosphere teasing madness. Though... I do think it'll be totally fine having a character double Bowser's size that normally fly's around in the air as a fighter. But anything else just sounds dumb to me. |

Lololol @ Ganon after that comment. I can actually understand it though. While resizing isn't new to Smash, Ridely does have a weird looking body that I think just wouldn't look right when shrunk down. Not that I don't think it can be done, I think Ridley can be totally be done, you'd just have to really do some deep thinking and maybe even change his character look. But he does seem like a character that would require more work to make work then say, Duck Hunt Dog and Bowser Jr. |

Pfft what a BS answer. Like CJ had said Ganondorf is big middle finger to that notion, as are many characters who arent true to what they were in the games they came from. Sakurai is a great designer, but there are some very weird and bizarre decisions that make sense to him, and only him. For example, DK and bowser still having monster sounds instead of their canon voices was reasoned with: "- Sakurai says animal sounds make more sense", which boggles the mind when bowser jr has his fucking voice! Its these many small but constant annoyances have bugged me for so long within the series and many peoples hopes for aspects of it. And they will always subsist with sakurai making all the calls, and honestly it keeps the series from moving further in many ways. |

Considering Ganondorf is a big contradiction to this statement...yeah, it's very wrong, but now we know Sakurai's statement on the subject, so Ridley will likely never be playable in the games as long as he keeps working on future installments or is alive. Didn't he also say AC shouldn't have any playable characters due to the peaceful nature of the series anyways? It's really mind boggling |

Its not exactly that random, he said the exact thing on Mega Man last year when the game was revealed. Which also made Ganondorf fans think he finally changed his moveset. Which also made Ganondorf fans pissed when he didn't change

Okay, I think Ridley is the best stage boss in the game. He isn't too insanely hard to avoid, and in general its a fun battle over getting Ridley on your side. Definitely makes the stage one of my favorites in the Wii U version. Plus, its insanely fun playing that stage with others. Me and my friends keep making "you unlock Ridley after you defeat him" and too biggery jokes the full match on the stage. |

Atleast the stage is bigger to accommodate Ridley & Metal Face. *Glares at Yellow Devil *

fuck, dude

Ridley as a stage boss (and Metal Face) work so much better than Yellow Devil because of the size, I agree. One of my college friends who is very competitive even likes the Ridley stage! |

I'm pretty sure there was another post I made years ago that in order to make him fit, he'd be shrunken down to the point that it would be insulting. When Pikachu and Ridley are about the same height, you know you screwed up. |
