I think it's time somebody sat you down and explained the concept of "humour".
I don't see how those things are connected?
I disagree. Even if they don't know who they will pick for the ballot, they have an idea of how many characters they can make. Making video games a business. They have to balance the needs of the development staff, customers, and the profit of the company. I think we will are approaching the natural end point of Smash DLC soon. Sakurai himself said not to expect a ton of additional stages, which I consider a big hint that the course for the rest of the DLC development has already been decided. I'm sure the characters that are going to win the ballot are known by now. Having it open to October is to ensure they can collect more data for the next game, in my opinion. As I said in my article, I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not expecting miracles anymore (And I was one of the few people that predicted that Ryu/Roy/Lucas would all be released during E3).
"Muh gender representation"
We're still bringing up Ridley? Also, I don't see how you compare Ridley to Ryu and Street Fighter like seriously what's the comparison? Cause I'll admit this got me so confused and lost in a minute.
Yeah, I'd be down for a summer wear costume pack
. The only one costume that should been there from the start is
Which is an excuse, because if one can alter inputs and give attacks variations of damage based on those inputs, and all that jazz ,for one character mind you. One can figure out how to manage the length of a character's tail and how to manage flight. This situation is akin to someone being able to recite Shakespeare but has difficulty saying their own name. It doesn't add up. As as for the size issues *looks at all the pokemon and Olimar, that shipped sailed out of the realm of being an excuse a long time ago.
I watched a few videos on that "culture" and looked around, I have to say, those people are filth. I mean that deeply.
I'm still waiting for Wrecking Crew Mario & Luigi and Balloon Fighter Villager. Also, Priam for Ike.
Here's the thing though. It's a smash game. They could probably throw Dry Bones up there as DLC and have it sell well if it had a unique gimmick. But they are not going to do that, they are going to add characters that are popular of semi-popular, or cater to an audience that hasn't been given anything yet. I'm no expert but as far as money goes I think they are fine.
Why? Why would you end a ballot prematurely? It's not smart. You don't know what could happen in the next few months. someone could shoot up In popularity and break first place by a mile. And then you would be stuck with angry fans that didn't get their favorite character.
I get his points....and it actually makes sense in a way. Statistically, you coudl try to have accurate conclusion. They COULD do that and it;s not that bad to do it.

Of course with Snake you have Konami
Wolf has a really good shot and Krool is also poised to win the ballot. However if Snake can't come back, then I suggest porting some of his moves over to Sami (Advance Wars) while also giving her some original moves. (Though in her official artwork she does have a rocket launcher) Not to mention the Wars series would finally get a rep. Plus she's my second most wanted DLC character, Wolf's my first in case you couldn't tell.
> Sakurai says Ridley would be too hard to adapt into Smash
Smash also doesn't play like a traditional fighting game normally, so saying that is ignoring that they still needed to adapt Ryu into the Smash roster, and that meant letting him do things he normally cannot do. I seriously doubt a character who couldn't dash or double jump would go over well in Smash play.Here's something about Ryu that you didn't figure out, his moveset can fit into ANY fighting game. That is something Ridley has never had before.
That isn't a detriment to Ridley but an asset to Ryu. Play more fighting games than Smash, you'll see why I said his moveset can transverse to any fighter. It's been like that even for Smash for 15 years
People bring up anything as a reason to complain about Ridley on either side, so this really shouldn't surprise anyone.
HOW ABOUT THE 4 OUTFITS WARIO LOST BETWEEN BRAWL AND SMASH 4?!Yeah, I'd be down for a summer wear costume pack
I don't even like Rosalina that much, and that's saying something.
This. Also Dry Bowser costume, it should've been in the game from the start.
I meant from his inputs, style and how almost most fighting game characters based certain designs off of him.Smash also doesn't play like a traditional fighting game normally, so saying that is ignoring that they still needed to adapt Ryu into the Smash roster, and that meant letting him do things he normally cannot do. I seriously doubt a character who couldn't dash or double jump would go over well in Smash play.
Traditional fighters work a hell of a lot differently than Smash, so saying that Ryu "can fit into any fighting game" is like saying that Mario "can fit into any fighting game". There's still the glaring issue of adapting them to the mechanics of the game they're in. Just porting something over doesn't work, because then the ported fighter is either at an innate disadvantage due to the new mechanics or is considered ridiculously good because it isn't balanced into the roster and thus could become dominant. And if you've never had the chance to appear as a fighter in a fighting game, there's no way to tell if you're moveset is good, because it has never been put to the competetive scene.
And I don't think Ryu's moveset can work well in something like, say, Killer Instinct or Bloody Roar, so the "his moveset works in any fighting game" thing is wrong anyways.
No, I said that he can't fit into all fighters; again, this is why I specifically brought up KI and Bloody Roar. The blanket statement of "Mario fits into all fighters" is incorrect.
I don't know, while I would like it, I can see why they'd pass on that costume...in PM it looks kinda weird on Bowser honestly.
Yeah cause that stage hazard has a real lot of love and effort when it comes to Providing an accurate portra-HUR.... an accurate portra-GUH...
...... I'm immediately sorry that I asked.
In the name of Waa, I shoulder barge you!
It was either that or a Popeye reference, really.
Katie loves Roy but if you think Roy needs all the love and respect he deserves he'd gunned down and spat on by every Lord except for Eliwood, as he's the one who shot him
Is roy ever going to get the love and repsect he deserves in this?
(Aka it looks like katie doesn't want to stop teasing roy.)
Not all fighters have fireballs and if one does that doesn't necessarily mean they're as plentiful as they are in Street Fighter. Take DOA or Tekken for example, if I recall Devil Jin from Tekken is like the only character that can really perform something similar to a fire ball. In DOA,as far as I know, no one can, Soulcalibur very few depending on the game, and in Virtual Fighter there aren't any that I recall having one. Also in some cases Mario might have to be scaled up because he is too short.
Ridley had fireballs in DOA, that counts, right?
Finally get the chance to change my avatar.

There should be a site rule banning nightmare fuel.

Better not, or Sailor Wario will fart aswellThere should be a site rule banning nightmare fuel.
Using earth science on a Purple space dragon being inserted into a different videogame isnt exactly the most logical endeavor.Honestly, the whole "Ridley is too big" argument bugs me on many levels; not just as a Ridley fan, but as a scientific person. In fact, if we use animals as a baseline, Ridley doesn't even get over 700 lbs; here's the best approximation I can get as to Ridley's dimensions;
If Ridley is 12 feet tall, that means he's most likely double that in both length and wingspan (as this is generally how saurians work); this means we have the following dimensions for Ridley;
In order for Ridley to properly fly in Earth-like gravity (which I used to make the analysis easier), he must be the same weight as or lighter than the largest volant animals on Earth; that being the pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus. Quetzalcoatlus weighs about 440-550 lbs (200-250 kilograms) with a 10-11 foot wingspan , so if we have Ridley play by those rules, he'd be about that weight or at most a little heavier due to his stockier proportions.
- 12 feet tall.
- 24 feet long.
- 24 foot wingspan.
So here's the overall dimensions of Ridley, going by this analysis;
To put this in perspective, Tyrannosaurus rex (the closest dinosaur in size to Ridley at 13 feet) is up to 6.8 metric tonnes (14,991.4 lbs). Ridley is between 24.98 and 27.25 times as light as a Tyrannosaurus. He ain't no heavyweight, that's for damn sure.
- 12 feet tall.
- 24 feet long.
- 24 foot wingspan
- 550-600 lbs (250-300 kg)/440-550 lbs (200-250 kg), depending on musculature.
As for his height and width....well, that's why proper scaling exists.
