Kraid. The Space Pirate Veteran and Muscle of the Group.

[Meta-Kraid]

Kraid is one of the most iconic Metroid characters. With Ridley as a stage boss (unfortunately) and Mother Brain and Dark Samus as Assist Trophies, he's the most logical character to add. He has extreme popularity for the few games he's appeared in, but unfortunately he hasn't had a recent appearance. He was cut from the Prime games and went I included in Other M; however, he was traded to make an appearance as Meta-Kraid in a future game, whether or not this is still true is unknown.

Moveset 1:
Neutral B: Kraid launches a belly spike that has no charging animation, he can move while using it.
Side B: Kraid launches several claws that move slowly and turn around, but don't come all the way back to him.
Down B: Kraid causes a mini earthquake that can stun or trip depending on the charge. In the air he swings his tail behind him with low knock back
Up B: Kraid summons a lava flow to push him upward, it has more horizontal movement then vertical.
Jab: Kraid quickly claws and finished with a lunge forward.
Side and Down Tilts: Kraid claws in appropriate direction.
Up Tilt: Kraid swipes his claws across his opponent and swings them upward if it makes contact. Good for starting juggling.

Side Smash: Kraid body slams the opponent.
U-Air: Kraid claws above him.

Losing animation: Kraid looks at his hands, wondering how to clap without stabbing himself.
Victory animation: Meh

This is my new favorite thread

Kraid literally is too big.
He's 2 freaking screens long and his shortest appearance is probably retconned.
Kraid would have to significly downsize, and a small Kraid just isn't Kraid anymore.

If Ridley got rejected because Sakurai felt that he wouldn't look right when downsized, I don't see how the hell Kraid would get a free pass.

*Waits for the inevitable Mini-Kraid argument from Golden*

It wasn't size. It was actually about Ridleys proportions and his ability to fly. Sakurai said he felt wrong if he made playable Ridley with odd proportions and not being able to fly constantly.

Unlike Ridley. Kraid doesn't suffer from Proprtion issues or flying issues. He can easily be shrunk down to slighly bigger then Bowser. He can be the strongest, slowest and heaviest fighter in Smash. His downfall is being a big target and slow. He would have a predictable recovery. His saving grace would be his long range, great kill power and damage output.

We gotta keep this thread alive y'all!

Mini Kraid as a playable.

Kraid as a stage boss.

 

[Sakuraichu]

Yes.

Kraid for Smash.

I'll have more time for it during the summer, but I'm extremely busy right now. I could probably find time on the weekends.

I'd like him to use this for his design, but I'm not picky.

Just imagine Kraid Kirby wearing a green reptilian hat with floppy ears, three red eyes, three horns, and spitting spikes out of his mouth since he lacks the belly buttons Kraid has. That would be the most adorably frightening Copy Ability since Bowser Jr. Kirby.

Honestly you can take this thread if you want. I don't have time for it right now. I tried to write a complete OP, but it got deleted. I have no idea how to give it you.
