New Smash Bros for WiiU

[Oasis_S]

So anyway, size is adjusted out of necessity. It has never been necessary for Ridley to be around Samus's size since Metroid doesn't have a lot of silly party games.

Hey look, a tiny Ridley.

DK64 was a good game and is canon, but k rool being that big is just not what I had in mind. It should've been like bowser from super Mario 64.

I vote for Rainbow Dash. But she's too MLP for SSB4.

Technically, DK's original game is... DK So ya'lls wrong.

Then make Bowser larger than Ridley.

>Giga-Bowser

DONE.

To avoid making this a spammy post... I'd like to say that Lucas' chances to make it in again are low to zilch.

 

[Vinylic.]

It is not canon due to zero mission.

 

[Aurane]

^This made my day.

Why? He reps Mother 3.

These are also true:
Super Mario 64 is not canon due to 64 DS.
Red/Green/Blue are not canon due to FireRed/LeafGreen.
Gold/Silver are not canon due to HeartGold/SoulSilver.

NO EXPORT FOR YOU, that's why.

So you're saying that:

64 is not canon due to DS
GB is not canon due to GBA
GB is not canon due to DSi

Ask and you shall recieve.

@Vinyl: Um... I'm pretty sure the original Metroid is canon. And let's face it. Ridley is the only possible choice. Dark Samus would probably be a clone, and Anthony Higgs is a one-shot. The only other distantly potential candidate is Kraid. And I'm talking NES/SNES(Fake Kraid) size here.

 

[Vinylic.]

I would go for kraid. Or a space pirate.

 

[Starphoenix]

Why are there Professor Layton games in a Nintendo history showcase? Also, lol Mother 3.

Space Pirate's just a mook though. What's next, we're going to have Hammer Bros. around? >_>

What about one of the other bounty hunters from Metroid Prime: Hunters?

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Woah woah woah. Lucas is a guaranteed cut because America isn't getting Mother 3 within the forseeable future, or even ever?

Noooooo no no no. I disagree.

And also Ridley is likely going to be in Super Smash Bros. 4. I'm very sorry for any dissonance within the thread, but he's one of the most requested Nintendo newcomers, and he's kinda awesome. The size argument literally never works anymore after Olimar. Ever.

 

[Vinylic.]

No. Not ever. Think about the main characters and the Main enemies. Those are the ones that are likely to be in ssb4. Except ridley. He's a boss and you guys know it. That character never even talks.

 

[Oasis_S]

It worked before Olimar?

 

[Aurane]

Why are you breathing my airspace, Trollolinyl?

Pokemon Trainer doesn't talk in FR & LG. He does in Brawl. Pit never talked in ALL of his games. He did in Brawl. ZSamus never talked in any of her games, to my knowledge. She did in Brawl.

 

[Vinylic.]

Because they're main characters.

 

[Aurane]

Because they're main characters.

...So, they automatically get talking rights? I don't understand. You are stealing my patience.

 

[Kolorado]

If Capcom can make characters as big as Sentinel and Gold Lightan work for fighting games, why can't Nintendo make Ridley work for SSB?

 

[Aurane]

Well, that's a different game overall. But still, resizing can be done.

 

[JavaCroc]

Probably because Nintendo is just the publisher and main advertiser of the games in America. This showcase is in America, right? (Yeah, I just walked in here )

 

[GiantBreadbug]

@Oasis It didn't hold water before Olimar, but he certainly cemented the idea that excluding characters based on size is kinda f*cking dumb. I mean, he's an inch and a half tall. Done and done.

Characters that don't talk fancy audible words in their games or in Brawl: Mr. G&W, R.O.B., Donkey and Diddy Kong (text in some games), Ice Climbers (they only have grunts and noises in Brawl), Kirby, Link, Olimar (only says his name in Pikmin 2).

Yes, but I think the same principle can be applied to Smash without having to down-size Ridley. They have plenty of characters with odd mechanics. Ice Climbers fight as a team, Pokemon trainer switches out characters, Olimar depends on Pikmin, Mr. Game and Watch is flat. Captain Falcon didn't even appear outside of his vehicle before Smash. I think the Smash Bros. team has enough creativity to figure out how to make Ridley work.

Then again, they did shrink Charizard...

 

[Oasis_S]

They didn't, actually.

Charizard is officially only 5' 7" tall.

Yeah, and isn't Kirby supposed to be only 8 inches tall?

 

[Kolorado]

My mistake. I'm not that familar with Pokemon, but someone told me Charizard is bigger.

 

[Metal Overlord]

Vinyl, no offense, but you aren't making a bit of sense right now

 

[Pieman0920]

Really, the size debate? Olimar is the size of a quarter, Kirby is 8 inches, and the Pokemon that have been in Smash vary vastly from their stated sizes in the games, at least when compared to each other.

 

[---]

Wait we're having a size argument? It's certainly been a while since we've had one of those.

Although, I don't know why you're only talking about Ridley when we should be talking about Medusa.

 

[Vinylic.]

None taken. I've been overtrolling when I putted up that obama pic.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Ridley's large size makes no difference. His tail size is another story. That thing is long as a tentacle.

 

[Starphoenix]

Here is our shock character for the next Super Smash Bros.

Since everyone loves suggesting some of the most bizarre choices when it comes to retro characters...
