I posted some Ridley ideas a page or two ago.Ridley could be so cool. Imagine this: he has no smashes or grabs- on the ground at least.

Or better yet, Mother Brain and her noodle soupYou guys are being unreasonable... ridley is too big!
You should add Kraid.
By unleashing what was meant not for human minds, you have doomed us all. I hope your dark heart takes solace in the fact that, as my brain exploded out of the safety of it's skull, taking my sanity with it, I saw the truth in the eldritch mysteries of aerial smash attacks.Ridley could be so cool.

Real Fake Kraid for Project M.You guys are being unreasonable... ridley is too big!
You should add Kraid.
I think Charizard is a better base for Ridley than Bowser.BAM
HERE'S AN IDEA
ridley, scaled to bowser's new size in Project:M and built up from bowser. lots of fire, claw and biting attacks to work with, and how about this - he doesn't get a glide, to compensate for his size. if i'm not mistaken, he'd be about as big as he was in super metroid in relation to samus, correct?
His attacks are literally the same attacks used in Smash 64 and WW itself. He's about as unclonely compared to Link as possible. Play the two characters sometime. There's a difference between being a 1:1 clone and being a character with different trajectories, physics, attacks, and applications in specials, which is what TLink has going for him. There are huge differences in TLink and Link. I'll go ahead and name a few.
It's odd enough that you campaign so hard to 'declone' Ganondorf, but, come the **** on, TLink and Link perform so differently that they're hardly comparable. It's the same with Mario and Weegee; similar movesets, that are applied in ways that aren't at all similar. Seriously, what is it with you and wanting to declone each and every character in the roster? What's next, no more Weegee n-air? How much different can TLink's moveset be, anyway? He's an incarnation of Link, for one, so of course they're going to have similar attacks, most of which come straight from WW anyway. ****.
- Spin Attack functions in reverse for TLink; strong in the air, weaker on the ground
- Stronger jab-string
- Spin Attack is chargeable, more akin to TLink's spin attack tech later on in Wind Waker
- Trajectories on attacks such as D-tilt, F-smash, D-air, and B-air are much different than Link's
- D-air can spike, B-air's a killer
- Weaker recovery game overall
- Stronger Wavedash and Waveland
- Bombs deal damage multiple times
- Arrows sport weaker knockback, but leave a hitbox on-stage
- Boomerang flies further, but is much slower, making it not as viable in TLink's combo game as Link's
- Hookshot is shorter than the Clawshot, changing up application of Zairs, and rendering bomb punts moot
- Faster attacks on the whole, with more ground finishers compared to Link's aerial finishers
The only thing that I think would be cool for Tink to have (but should not) is the Deku Leaf; spring up high like Peach's umbrella, and cancel out of it with aerials kind of like Snake's cypher. But, Tink is fine as-is, he doesn't need anything to separate himself from Link. Plus, the Cyclone is one of his signature tricks in WW once he learns it. And, you know, one of his stronger aerial finishers in Smash.
He already does. His jab string is straight out of Wind Waker. I hope you really have been playing it.But I mean look at WW, he could have great moves from that game that would be completely different and would make him completely 100% original.
Why would Tink need this? How would that, in the slightest, help an already-speedy character who has plenty of power in his tilts and aerials? As far as Tink's zoning is concerned, he'd lose a huge asset. The bow is great for hampering recoveries just as Link's is, and a hammer wouldn't help him at all.B - Skull Hammer
Again, why does Tink need to sacrifice his zoning and stage control? That's his whole bent. That's what he's supposed to do; exert pressure and force opponents to navigate through a bunch of tiny hitboxes, limiting the applications of their abilities.Side B - Deku Leaf wind blast
Why? The cyclone is one of Tink's fastest aerial finishers. Granted, he has a dismal recovery game, but he'd lose a huge asset in the air. From the sound of it, this would also render Tink's grab obsolete, with a longer range, higher speed, a wider range of attack. Tink needs help in the recovery department, granted, but changing his recovery changes more than just, well, his recovery. You go from having a potent aerial finisher to something that can drag Tink into the air to use one of his slower, smaller finishers. Why would anybody use that over the cyclone? It would just take longer, and you'd have to hope to get a precise hit in the first place with the hook.Up B - diagonal grappling hook throw. This can be used to grab onto ledges for recovery and onto opponents to pull them in when you're on the ground. If grabbing opponents in the air you get pulled to them set up for an attack.
Now it's just getting ********. Why would you want to get rid of Tink's bombs? He already has a chargeable spin attack, in the form of his recovery. Why would you take away something so central to Tink's game to give him a move he already has.Down B - charge sword spin (same as current up B but not used as recovery in air, and a full charge sends you into a more chaotic harder to control spinning animation)
Doesn't really matter. PM wants to be as safe as possible. If a character has no appearance in Brawl, they are automatically out of the equation.Is MU from awakening or gaiden even copyrighted...? I mean it's an Avatar...
there is a default design for MU in both. the concept of MU only came around with games released after brawl. it can't be done.Is MU from awakening or gaiden even copyrighted...? I mean it's an Avatar...
So, Sami is a fairly popular choice, but I don't think she's really been discussed much.
Her focus in-game is infantry, correct? So how would she be cloned from Snake and made into a clone that reflected this style while not feeling too forced?
He already does. His jab string is straight out of Wind Waker. I hope you really have been playing it
I'd compare the cloning to ganan and falcon...Dear god. He has SOME original moves, but his basic move set is based off of links. Gimi a break, what are you even arguing here.
I'm not saying i have a PROBLEM with what the PMBR has done with Toon Link. He's great and much different than what Sakurai did with him, but hes still clearly mainly cloned.

I've had enough downtime to cool off, so I'll say this much. I don't enjoy labels and stereotypes. No, I'm not offended easily. You definitely struck a soft spot with your statements, and I was already in a sour mood. I should have been a bit more reasonable, but you still could have chose your words much better.You're being unreasonable. Nowhere did I say you were a furry or all Sonic fans were from deviantart or that your idea was stupid because you like Sonic. All I said was there was no need to add silly stories to the Primid to make him worth including. True, that may be an insult to your story but I'm willing to bet that you don't have tons of experience in the creative writing department (most people don't, myself included) so that's hardly an attack on your intellect. There is no denying that there is a large cross section of people who post absurd Sonic fanart on deviantart. Pointing that out isn't an attack on all Sonic fans or even all deviantart members. It's exclusively an attack on the exact people who make fan characters and write them little silly stories and post it on deviantart, maybe roleplay as said character in the comment section, etc. Unless that's you it wasn't a personal attack. Of course this is entirely off topic so I'm not going to continue responding. I'll keep in mind that you're offended easily in the future and try to restrain myself from saying anything that could be misconstrued as an insult.
My argument makes complete sense. I'm aware that the character portrays Dark Pit, but in no way, shape, or form is this characters existence as a separate character established until after Brawl's release. People already knew about Dark Link prior to his costume as well as the others you have listed. Roy was an established character with a name and description given in Melee. No one could have known about a character who didn't exist. I'm not at all saying the costume isn't him, but I am saying the character was established after Brawls release. He is not eligible for this reason. Far from poor reasoning.I'm not saying I want Dark Pit, since I really don't, but you can't honestly look at Pit's dark costume and say that it's not Dark Pit. Uprising and Smash were both made by Sakurai. Characters have appeared in Smash Bros before their canon appearance before. Look at Roy. Just because this appearance of Dark Pit predates his official appearance doesn't mean that he's somehow not really him.
The argument of them being separated by name is kind of poor, as well, since you don't see the Dark Link costume specifically called Dark Link, or the Blood Falcon costume, or the Daisy costume. It's still clearly meant to be them.
I think Ridley can definitely work if he's made into an aerial focused character. He's not made to fight on ground, so just make it so that all most of his ground attacks cause him to come off the ground, the ones that don't should be ranged.Ridley's definitely a good choice. With that in mind, I still have some honest concerns.
I don't think size works against him so much as his abnormal body proportions do. It just makes it really difficult to find the right size, because he's either hunched over constantly or, if flying or standing, artificially large because he's so tall and skeletal, which makes his frame require additional model work and animation. There's a lot of issues to solve over whether he'll crouch, stand up, hover above the ground like some of the PSAs, etc. I think one of the best remedies for this is to take inspiration from the Melee intro rendition, since the body type seems fairly workable.
In general, I don't think he'd be designed with much ground mobility at all, which at first seems rather unfitting in the game environment. A good wavedash would be weird, I don't think a fast dash would be incredibly in line either, if he's running on all fours or standing. A gliding dash would be alright, but using too many switches between gliding and crouching brings us back to the same proportions/animation issues. I don't think I'm much a fan of Ridley suddenly getting a huge hurtbox whenever he dashes or leaves the ground. Still, I could see him being one of the few super-heavyweights with actually decent air control (the closest we've got is Charizard, who is still pretty average). That could definitely be an interesting playstyle. Not my personal favorite, but something that the PMBR could make a new thing out of.
I do think his popularity is sort of carrying him through a lot of gameplay issues, but hey, I'm one of those supporters, so it would still be great to see him make an appearance.
My argument makes complete sense. I'm aware that the character portrays Dark Pit, but in no way, shape, or form is this characters existence as a separate character established until after Brawl's release.

No one could have known about a character who didn't exist. I'm not at all saying the costume isn't him, but I am saying the character was established after Brawls release.

Oh and if you want to be nitpicky about it, the colors of Dark Pit are similar but not completely the same. Compare a picture of the two and you will notice differences.
Why can't Dark Pit just be an alt color to Pit, is that not good enough?But the rules don't specifically exclude characters that had yet to be introduced in their own series, as long as they appeared in Brawl in some form. Dark Pit wasn't an official Kid Icarus character at the time of the game's release, but he was retroactively made into a character. There are subtle differences in his design, yes, but many characters have their looks change through the years. Just because Sonic looks different in his classic design doesn't mean that the taller Sonic of today isn't the same character. He's the same, he just looks different.
I do want to be clear that the only reasoning I was calling poor was saying that it's not him because he isn't called Dark Pit. The rest of your argument makes sense, I just don't agree with it. But, it's clear I can't convince you, and you're certainly not going to convince me, and since I don't actually care about the character, I'd really like to just drop talking about him altogether.
I think Ridley can definitely work if he's made into an aerial focused character. He's not made to fight on ground, so just make it so that all most of his ground attacks cause him to come off the ground, the ones that don't should be ranged.
In addition, much like I-no in Guilty Gear, his Dash should cause him to go aerial, like, it should have a horizontal trajectory like that of a plane. I also had an idea for him that he should have Aerial Smash Attacks rather than ground Smashes, just to make him unique.
Dunno if that's do-able though.
Hmm... I like that, actually.
Would he work like a Lucas clone... or a Samus clone. :O
I think I'll give him a 1/2 vote next time.
You guys are being unreasonable... ridley is too big!
You should add Kraid.
Those are all different people, Red is not Ethan, Green, or Brendan! (yes, those are there official names from left to right)Oh yeah, I want to bring up the pokemon trainer one more time just for the sake of saying something.
if he was a standalone character, he would probably have alternate costumes. besides samus, I bet he might have the coolest alternate costume potential!
but they are all pokemon trainers. it really depends on what name they go with if he does make it in.Those are all different people, Red is not Ethan, Green, or Brendan! (yes, those are there official names from left to right)
I think it would be better if tetra was cloned off toon link, not sheik.I find it funny that nobody has mentoined Little Mac yet.
As for a Tetra moveset, based on Sheiks:
B: Dagger throw. Tetra throws one dagger, similar to Sheik's needles in animation and speed, but it's a singular, stronger projectile with less range.
Side B: Grappling Hook. Like Sheik's Chain, but with 'item stealing' properties. It will steal the opponent's item (say, Peach's Turpins) and Tetra will keep it in her hand. Also a tether-recovery obviously.
Up B: A flipkick similar in looks of ZSS's, but grabs ahold of the enemy like Captain Falcon's Up B, and Diddy's Side B. Far weaker than both though.
Down B: Toon Zelda.
