Sounds generic. I think he could have something better than a big ball of fire. Here's hoping Ridley has something like his Brawl/Super/Zero Mission design instead of something like the gross Other M design. He has the Super design in Melee and Brawl, so hopefully he'll look the same.

Ridley isn't really green in Zero Mission aside from that artwork. It would be more like this. So he could have a different green color. And if there are alternate costumes, he could have Meta Ridley.

The ground pound is from the first Donkey Kong Country.

Agreed, but I figure they both deserve a spot. Metroid is underrepresented in Smash and Ridley and Dark Samus are some of the few viable, important characters. I don't think you need any more Metroid characters after them.

I thought he said Ridley would be "pretty impossible" or something.

I agree with you on the neck. Perhaps something like this?

I can't think of any aspect of Other M Ridley's design that I'd like to see in Sm4sh. His design does vary a bit between Super Metroid's artwork, Super Metroid in-game and Zero Mission. A mixture of them would be alright, but there isn't a lot of difference between them. Brawl's Ridley seems to...

The manga that Other M outright contradicts outside of Ridley killing Samus' parents and Adam being a Commanding Officer. Ridley could believably be dead after Zero Mission and Prime 3, but for whatever reason he survives both. Even with his regeneration ability, its seems like something he...

It all makes sense.

I thought Ridley's head was a bit too big for his body in Brawl. His dash could be a fast crawl on all fours with his tail tucked back to decrease his length. He doesn't have to have Charizard's dash. And Other M is after every other Metroid with the exception of Fusion.

He appears to die several times. A never said I knew, but you asserted she froze up in fear. She doesn't have a fearful expression and if anything seems angry. Reason? Other M contradicts the other Metroid games and is an all around poorly written game. The article writer states that Samus...

And later in the manga she gets over her fear and all but kills him in anger. But the mere sight of him made her paralyzed in fear until that point, which is really stupid. That doesn't look shocked to me. How does that cancel it out? And she would still think him dead, not familiar...

But she is downright heartbroken over it. Sure, she should be grateful for it saving her life, as she says in Fusion, but referring to it exclusively as "The Baby" and her deep sadness over its death is weird. In the manga she gets over her crippling fear of Ridley and leaves him for dead...

I would say that Brawl was a dip in quality after Melee. The roster is unbalanced, everything is slower and floatier, there's random tripping, and there was a loss of focus with Subspace Emissary, which wasn't worth playing more than once. And Other M was a bad Metroid game even without its...

Brawl was only a small dip in overall quality, but Sakamoto basically put Metroid on life support. He's a terrible writer and ruined Samus as a character, along with being responsible for the awkward wiimote only gameplay. How is that remotely objective?
