:> I don't think Ridley didn't had any size issues that prevented him from being added prior...

In the Melee intro he wasn't THAT big. That may be why when it was revealed back then into E3, many thought Ridley was going to be playable. What Sakurai said about him being "Too big" may have been said out of the blue or something. Or maybe he forgot this. A limitation that may have been considerable was maybe coming up with his moveset that time, as the current playable Ridley shows some moves similar to the ones he had in Prime 1/Prime 3 as Meta/Omega Ridley and Brawl Ridley/Other M Ridley like that scraping move on the floor, and for some reason an air kick like DK's. Something like that.

xD But eh, he's in already after a million years so that's something.

I'm talking about from Sakurai's perspective. And even as a Ridley supoorter simce Smash 4, you can't deny he doesn't have a natural size that could be ported to Smash

:> Other characters other characters didn't have a natural size that didn't require scaling them up or down. Not just Ridley. xD But that's old stuff.

The problem with Ridley wasn't his size.

It was his proportions.

Seriously, try to shrink down Brawl Ridley, and look how ridiculously weak he look.

This apply to Ridley's others designs, beside his Other M design, who had much more human proportions, making it easer to scale it down without making Ridley look like a fragile skeleton.

However, Other M Ridley looked too...buff (don't know any better words tbh), along with a stupid duck face. So Sakurai took the smart option and combined the Other M design with his Super Metroid design, making a Ridley that can be reduced in size without problem, while still keeping the best aspect of Ridley's past design that most peoples are familiar too. (the rotten skin, the long limbs, etc..)

Actually a thought.

Do you really think third parties companies would actually loan out there character only for an echo?

I feel like this would be against the views they have as their characters wouldn't feel special.

Although its also smash so who doesn't want as much publicity through it as possible?

xD I always wondered how that toothpick neck could support Brawl Ridley's head. That is why when I began to draw him, I decided to change that for an at least smaller head. Though I'm never consistant with it.

And calling Other M Ridley "Too Buff" is pretty accurate, I mean, his "muscles" looked like tumors made by steroids, that is why he got the nickname Roidley in the first place. :p

It depends on the company and character, but in general, I don't think they'd go through all the negotiation and licensing just to make the character the same as someone else.

I feel Echos are 1st/2nd only. I don't think the 3rd party companies want a character of theirs to be a simple clone, especially for something as big as Smash.

If it's a character from an already represented franchise (like Shadow the Hedgehog), then I don't think there would be a problem.

Big companies probably would refuse their characters being an echo fighter of another Smash character though. Like I doubt Ubisoft would let Rayman just be a Mario echo or something.

Indies wouldn't care though. They'd jump at the chance regardless.

Only if they're Echos from said third parties that are already represented.

That said, I don't think we'll see too many third party Echo Fighters. Jeanne and Shadow are probably the most likely.

Yeah,
One minor problem for the video is just that he keeps saying Xenoblade will get only one rep.

I would totally disagree that before E3, now though I can only somewhat admit that due to Sakurai said there won't be much newcomers.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get any new Xenoblade rep at all.


I am also watching FIFA World Cup...

Sweden just scored a goal on Germany...
F**K...

I'll do dinner while we wait for the rest.

By the way, I'm bad, haven't played this in months lol. Hopefully I'm not too much of a burden for the team.
