What newcomers by series i would like to see:
-A new series newcomer: Isaac from Golden Sun deserves it.
-Metroid newcomer: Metroid right now its the most deserving considering this is a big franchise and the lack of other char. aside of Samus. My personal choice would be Dark Samus, but since Ridley deserves it more, i go with the Space Dragon. (If Ridley ends in SSB4 then Dark Samus all the way!)
-DK newcomer: whoever they choose
-Fire Emblem: This series sure has grown with the time, i go with Lyndis.
-Another new series, or Masked Man from Mother series.

I thought that was the best metroid prime.....replayability and content wise.

Funny, I see it the opposite way. I couldn't stand MPH. If a Metroid character gets in, I think it needs to be one that's recurring throughout the series.

Again... I always thought the opposite about it. It's my least favorite besides Metroid Other M and Metroid Prime Pinball.

I never tried those 2 games......Metroid Prime Pinball looks interesting. I like the gameplay of Other M but much like others, I'm not fond of how they handled the characterization......like with Samus

Let's all be real about the fact that Golden Sun is going to be repped in P:M if they are in fact including more characters. I'm willing to bet cash money that someone is animating P:M Isaac right now.
If only! Isaac in Smash, be it Project M or SSB4, would be a dream come true.

Same for Other M. Metroid Prime Pinball I don't like because... I mean, it's pinball. I find it a bit boring.

oh yeah with the pinball....it was never really enough to get me interested in the game. The only thing i really found interesting was how Samus can get out of "Morphball" mode and shoot sometimes, which isn't something you see all the time

Only this dream is very likely to be brought to life through P:M. Sadly Sonic fans will keep dreaming if they ever hope to see another Sonic character step foot in the game. Which, in all honesty, sucks. It is like only getting to play as Mario, when you would much rather be Luigi or another character from the same series.

I don't really see what so special about the hunters compared to Dark Samus. If you don't make her a clone, I think she has more potential than most of the hunters.

This. The Hunters appeared in only one game and each have a single primary weapon, while DS has been in three games and has a multitude of abilities to use that are different from what Samus is able to do.

Of course, as has been said, this is the Clone Engine, so being a clone of some sort is a good thing in most cases.

Wasn't Hunters terrible? I kinda wanna play Prime Pinball though--I'm a fan of pinball games.

If Dark Samus gets in, in addition to drawing from her own abilities, she should get some of Samus's unused ones. I want the shinespark to be in Smash, damn it. :c

Also no. Ridley > Dark Samus >>> Hunters >>>>>>>>>>>>>>Anthony. :awesome:

It was awful.

In my books, Ridley >= Dark Samus >>>>> Anthony Higgs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Adam > Hunters.

Ridley definitely needs to be the first Metroid rep to be considered, with Dark Samus being a backup plan if anything...

We really shouldn't have both...that's just stupid.

This. Absolutely this.

True. I like Anthony just because he shares my first name irl, but I wouldn't want him playable.
I appreciate that Anthony is one of the few black guys to survive to the end. :awesome:

Real talk.

As a Metroid non-initiate, what's interesting about Ridley, from a gameplay/abilities standpoint, that Charizard doesn't already cover? From my perspective, they're both "big dragon thing from a series of games don't play."

And one of the only black Nintendo characters at all, for that matter. The only other one on the top of my head is Ganondorf... and he's evil.

Hmm. Ridley has a much bigger emphasis on flying than Charizard, and his tail has insane range compared to anything Charizard's could do. His fireballs are less of a stream, and more of a mix of Din's Fire and Mario's fireball (think about the ones he fires as Meta Ridley in Boss Battles). He also has his iconic charging attacks, where he flies quickly across the screen and where he flies into the background and rams you, which again, you can see in his Boss Battle. He's also quite a bit speedier than Charizard.

Besides all of that, the most important thing about Ridley is that he's so iconic and essential to the series, much more important than Charizard.

Fiyah balls?
More survivability?
I dunno, I'm not a Metroid fan myself.
Anyways, since I've covered all of the "major" eligible FE characters with their specials, I've skimmed through the rest of the possible contenders.
There's not really anyone else I could make a moveset for without it looking really stupid/pointless :(

I have a hard time calling Ganon black; his skin is not usually a natural human color. He's kinda grey in both TP and WW, and oddly greenish in OoT. And either way he's more tan than black...which yes, could still be considered racist.

Well... maybe so, but you can't quite be a racist against a race that doesn't exist. Like the Gerudo. Dirty, thieving Gerudo. Tried to steal away all my rupees. Blew those little ******** up, is what I did!

Well, still they're tan people from the desert who are portrayed as thieves and their leader is evil, and killed by a couple of very white people. :p Nevertheless, I don't think Nintendo was specifically trying to be racist against people in the Middle East.

If they decide to put Ridley, a pogo stick attack with his tail is the first move I would like to see. (maybe Zard's dair?)

Has anybody made a full moveset for Ridley? I don't remember seeing one. I imagine ridley playing something like Firebrand from UMVC3 where he's in the air like the entire time.

That's about the playstyle most of us imagine for him--a very aerial character. Maybe even bad on the ground.

So he'd probably end up working similarly to Jigglypuff, how would Ridley be weighted considering that. I mean he's pretty big but he'd need to be floaty to stay in the air for a while right? I'm still not entirely sure how the weight system in Smash works.

Medium weight, I suppose. Lighter than he looks at the very least; if he can fly, he probably has light bones like a bird. I imagine his aerial speed to be decently high as well, since Ridley is pretty fast in Metroid.

How exactly would that work he'd need an air dash or glide I assume. Maybe like the fly across the screen move you guys described (haven't played very much metroid sry) maybe shortened to provide quick horizontal movement.

Perhaps his Up-B and Side-B in the air could work like Project M's R.O.B.

Multiple bursts that you can choose the direction you go in.

Ridley should definitely have a glide. Perhaps, like they suggested up above, he could have R.O.B.-like bursts, and be otherwise limited two a single double jump. I dunno, I think I'd rather have him have multiple jumps.

He should definitely have multiple jumps, but that's no reason he can't also have the glide / dash air attack. I mean, Pit, Meta Knight and Charizard do.

So, I'm thinking his down air can work like Wario's, but using his tail like in the Super Metroid vid I posted.

No, I agree. Multiple jumps and a glide, but no one has multiple jumps, a glide, and R.O.B.'s air dash--that might be a little much. :p

And his dair should absolutely be the pogo tail!

Then make the side version more like Ike's quick draw, charging makes it go further and using it results in special fall.
