Am I the only one who wouldn't mind something like this?
I would choose K.Rool
you do know every one has torn this video to shreds rightSee this makes perfect sense.
If you want a Metroid rep, pick someone who actually seems to fit. Might as well consider Kraid as a candidate if Ridley is considered.

honestly I feel embarrassed for the guy who made that video
every single point he made has been disproven in the Ridley thread just go in there and ask or the Roster prediction thread (they can defend Ridley better than me for many reasons)If it has been torn apart youd have to explain it to me.

and the guy is kinda dumb when it comes to smash he doesn't even want Dedede to return

how would Ridley not be ok for kids Snake is from a rated M game and hes in and about the mosquito thing its like saying Olimar looks like a gaintI don't. Even all size things considered, he is a psychotic mass murdering dragon pterodactyl thing. I mean, some kids are gonna be playing this game and I don't think that's a good look. And honestly shrinking him makes him look like a purple mosquito.
Look dude, I f*cking love Metroid to death. Super Metroid is still my favorite game of all time. I just honestly have had no emotional attachment to Ridley or any of the Bosses, as they are just that; Bosses. I really don't think Metroid needs another rep just because others have more than one, in fact I feel it will derail what Metroid is all about.
Metroid to me is all about Samus and how she develops as a character. She is left in isolation, and constantly on the brink of death. She is vigilant, strong and sharp enough to fight any enemy on her own, however newer interpretations of the game (The Other M) make her appear as some what of a weakling. In Super Metroid when they show how Samus found the metroid, no one suspected the emotional attachment and impact it wold have on gamers, and possibly on Samus. She has an enigmatic air about her, but you can detect some emotion in her person. Samus is the only character in Metroid that matters
how would they scrap the entire character and modelYou dont have to agree with everything someone says in order to support one thing they say. Ill check it out then.
Edit: Ive seen most of the points in the thread brought up multiple times even when not discussing the video. People are so for adding this character that they are willing to literally scrap the entire idea and model of the character just so something resembling it can be made in game.
I dont see what he could add to the game in terms of playstyles, his latest image would have to be completely reworked in order to even look decent, and popularity isnt a deciding factor in my decisions.
Most of the Pro Ridley arguments in there are, "He is a popular villain from a series that is lacking some reps, make as many changes to him as you want as long as he gets in"
how would Ridley not be ok for kids Snake is from a rated M game and hes in and about the mosquito thing its like saying Olimar looks like a gaint
just saying most people don't feel the same way as you we want more than one character for a great series
how would they scrap the entire character and model
they gave R.O.B a moveset they can give anyone a moveset come up with better excuses
again the only change is making him the size of bowser (bowser who in every main mario game is a giant like ridley)
↑↑↑barf
it is still rated M so your point with Ridley still doesn't make senseWell, Metal Gear Solid may be an M rated game, but it's genuinely an over-the-top game that doesn't take itself seriously all the time. Sakurai made it work just by simply avoiding guns and emphasizing on how humorous Metal Gear can be at times. Hell, my little brother bet most of the Metal Gear games.
The thing about Olimar was explained in the video. He feels natural as a bigger character because there was no other human in the game to compare him to, besides the other human people. You could just as easily say that he could be on a planet full of giant stuff because there was really no other human to compare him too.
You can't really compair Bowser, because he is Bower. And also as the video said, he is a turtle, they come in all shapes and sizes. Ridley is a Dragon, and mythologically speaking, he is supposed to be huge. You could just as easily say the kimono dragon isn't gigantic, then again its not a dragon. Also, Bowser is an extremely recognizable Icon who for the most part is recognized by his near humanoid size. It works for him because of his stature and design as well, shrinking Ridley would just look ugly and wouldn't necessarily be appealing.
Playstyle =/= movesetThey gave R.O.B a moveset they can give anyone a moveset come up with better excuses
again the only change is making him the size of bowser (bowser who in every main mario game is a giant like ridley)
Just look at 0:25
Ridley is perfectly scaled to what he would be if he was a playable character, they already did the work in Melee.
lol oh ok, instead of replying with some sardonic bs, why not come up with your own compelling argument as to why you feel this character should be included in the game? Atleast i'm trying to give somewhat of a reason.↑↑↑
Just like everybody suffering of toobigotry,100% opinions,0% fact.
You even started something with "Samus is TO ME..."
I already did in collapse:If it has been torn apart youd have to explain it to me.
Yes it is,as Ridley could be very close while Samus could be far.Perspective is an odd thing isnt it?
Somebody remind me to buy a tombstone for this argument, it's been dead so long I keep forgetting to do so. Ridley can work in Smash Bros, deal with it.Well, Metal Gear Solid may be an M rated game, but it's genuinely an over-the-top game that doesn't take itself seriously all the time. Sakurai made it work just by simply avoiding guns and emphasizing on how humorous Metal Gear can be at times. Hell, my little brother bet most of the Metal Gear games.

Playstyle =/= moveset
Knowing Smash, Ridley will be a Heavy Character, have multiple jumps, and a decent fireball projectile. I know it sounds odd, but it seems like Charizard would play very similar to him if they stay true to his character.
The size change is not the only thing changing about him. They would have to raise his tail or curl it around him, heavily shorten his wings or make them folded at nearly all times, and generally scrunch him up even with the overall size change so that he isnt just a giant hitbox.
Ridley being Bowser size is like making Olimar the same size as Marth or Samus. It would work, but it would be incredibly forced. Kinda like if we had Giga Bowser the same size as Bowser...
Except she shoots a charge shot the size of his head.Yes it is,as Ridley could be very close while Samus could be far.
it is still rated M so your point with Ridley still doesn't make sense
he was smaller than a damn battery in the game (which you can see is gaint compared to him) he doesn't know what hes talking about he probably has never played Pikmin
so because Bowser is a turtle hes special what sense does that make and Dragons can be small there are tons of fairy tails with small dragons
no Bowser is every single main Mario game is a giant (other than the NES one where Ridley is the size of samus)
and Ridley not looking good shrunk down is a opinion and wer haven't even seen him shrunk down (brawl doesn't really count because hes a shunk down boss if they made him a character they will make him small from the start making him look different)
I swear ever anti Ridley argument is "I don't want him to be shrunk down because I don't think he will look good" which is a crappy argument
Wait,were you for or against Ridley?Except she shoots a charge shot the size of his head.
With my own?As in,you did one?lol oh ok, instead of replying with some sardonic bs, why not come up with your own compelling argument as to why you feel this character should be included in the game? Atleast i'm trying to give somewhat of a reason.
No,because I have more to that,your entire post was "too big im not pleased bye"And just how you can put me in the "toobigotry" crowd, I could just as easily label you as "just because the metroid series needs another rep" crowd, or the "Ridley was small in Metroid one crowd"
Take yours in the Ridley thread,this one you already derailed.Take that bull sh*t somewhere else if you just want to derail what i'm saying.
Ridley looks terrible like that just accept the fact he is a boss character all series need boss characters. You got master hand, crazy hand and ridley.
Am I the only one who wouldn't mind something like this?
Looks like I was a few bucks short of buying that tombstone, anyone want to chip in so we can lay this dead argument to rest? I mean seriously, the guy's using opinions to try and prove a character unplayable, someone just put the nail in the coffin already....Whatever dude, you still don't get it. I'm not trying to argue with you or any of your supporters because yall tend to throw semantics at people for hours on end. The dude doesn't have to play PIkmin, there are plenty of videos on the internet. Sure, Metal Gear was an M rated game, but that doesn't mean **** because for the most part all the respected characters are human. The simple fact that a shrunken character, and a character in an M rated game can make it before Ridley just screams that it's not meant for him to be playable. I can't paint a clearer picture, then again discussing characters really doesn't matter lol.
If Ridley was going to be a character in Smash Bros his shot was in Brawl. All things considered, I still don't feel like he is going to make it. Now you can argue historical relevance, re-sizing, character comparisons (Comparing him to Bowser, Really?) all you want, but you're just blinding yourself from something that seems like common sense. He's ****ing huge, and shrank, he is an ugly purple psychotic looking mosquito. Ridley should just be a Boss, and the appeal for wanting him as a playable character doesn't even make sense, but that's just me.
I'm being a realist here. The best thing you guys could do is lower your exceedingly high expectations for your characters to be in the game and just accept it for what it is. It's not a good look.
If you want to ignore common sense that's on you you wil be enjoying ridley as a boss just like in brawl lol.Please don't link that video, for your own intelligence's sake.
Wait,were you for or against Ridley?
Besides,she didn't shoot a charge shot...
With my own?As in,you did one?
No,because I have more to that,your entire post was "too big im not pleased bye"
Take yours in the Ridley thread,this one you already derailed.
Sorry, but please clarify...what of anything you've shown, said or done ever been a fact? None? Okay, thanks for clearing that up.Ridley looks terrible like that just accept the fact he is a boss character all series need boss characters. You got master hand, crazy hand and ridley.
Just because we're not as narrow-minded as you to believe an idiotic youtuber's horribly put-together video as well as a terribly flawed/narcissistic opinion, we lack common sense? Perfect argument, 10/10.If you want to ignore common sense that's on you you wil be enjoying ridley as a boss just like in brawl lol.
and all anti Ridley fans do is act like opinions are factsWhatever dude, you still don't get it. I'm not trying to argue with you or any of your supporters because yall tend to throw semantics at people for hours on end.

again opinion and that is a shrunk down Boss version of him if we get Ridley in Smash4 they will make him small from the beginning so he will look totally differentRidley looks terrible like that just accept the fact he is a boss character all series need boss characters. You got master hand, crazy hand and ridley.
your opinion is common sense now?If you want to ignore common sense that's on you you wil be enjoying ridley as a boss just like in brawl lol.
A lot of the stuff discussed in the video were indeed facts. It us a fact that he was only the size of Samus in one game, that being the first one. How could you deny that? Did you watch the video?Sorry, but please clarify...what of anything you've shown, said or done ever been a fact? None? Okay, thanks for clearing that up.
Just because we're not as narrow-minded as you to believe an idiotic youtuber's horribly put-together video, we lack common sense? Perfect argument, 10/10.
its also a fact that Bowser isn't a giant is in the NES gameA lot of the stuff discussed in the video were indeed facts. It us a fact that he was only the size of Samus in one game, that being the first one. How could you deny that? Did you watch the video?
And just because someone doesn't agree with your opinion doesn't make him an idiot, it just makes you and the people you represent look worse by thinking so highly of yourself.
I meant missile, it shouldn't matter if i'm for or against, but you should be able to tell :/Wait,were you for or against Ridley?
Besides,she didn't shoot a charge shot...
I indeed, think your right, Leave him as a boss... But I wouldn't mind it if Nintendo gave us something like that if we abseloutly was to get Ridley... I want K.Rool more than anything lolRidley looks terrible like that just accept the fact he is a boss character all series need boss characters. You got master hand, crazy hand and ridley.
Shokio? Using facts? The only fact he gave was that he's big in his own franchise, nothing else. Using Mario Spin-off titles for Bowser's size is pointless as those are just as non-canon as Smash Bros, he knows nothing about Pikmin, and frankly, the ending just makes him look like an immature bigot.A lot of the stuff discussed in the video were indeed facts. It us a fact that he was only the size of Samus in one game, that being the first one. How could you deny that? Did you watch the video?

How ironic,you saw "Ridley" and started a post that would not have changed the thread if as you could just have written "King K. Rool."Contrary to your belief, your ability to point out errors in my argument doesn't make you a superior arguer.
It's just like all these english people who are on reality T.V., the only value they have is to criticize what other people do. you're doing the same sh*t buddy. get real.
...but that's just me.
You know,I think Imma follow.And all I have to do are mention three things and the argument's over...inconsistent size...Smash series isn't canon...and Melee opening. Kay thanks, I think this argument's been dead for a while, it's like beating the bones of the dead horse that's been dead for months on end now...
