I'm not saying it's deserving or not, but saying Starfox has a large cast like F-Zero is an overstatement from what I noticed in GX.Not a big enough one to deserve four reps (or three for that matter.)

Star Fox has about the same sales as F-Zero, so I wouldn't go and say the fanbase of the series is that much bigger than F-Zero's.Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Starfox series have a much smaller cast and has a larger fanbase?
I just checked. VGChartz unfortunately doesn't have the sales of the GBA F-Zero games next to Maximum Velocity.@Spadefox: Starfox has sold better then F-Zero by quite a bit. It also has better average sales.
The thing about Starfox is it has a strong fanbase behind Smash. There is a lot of demand for Starfox characters then most other franchises (minus Mario, Pokemon and Zelda). The reason they get more is because there is so much demand. F-Zero has always been lacking in that.
I guess he looks kind of wimpy, but he could be reproportioned, maybe. That could look odd, though...Eh, I still think his wingspan would be too big, and that he still looks too wimpy (not to mention his tail reach would still be huge), but I suppose that's just me![]()
☆ Put Omega Ridley in Brawl and Ridley would be the hardest Boss in Smash history because you won't have Phazon to kill him. =P ☆Heck, you COULD make Ridley a bit BIGGER then in there.
No, it'd be like... there'd be puddles of Phazon and you'd have to hop in them to temporarily infuse your attacks with Phazon so you could harm him. But on the OTHER hand being infused with Phazon would slowly damage you, so you;d have to cleverly manage...☆ Put Omega Ridley in Brawl and Ridley would be the hardest Boss in Smash history because you won't have Phazon to kill him. =P ☆
I don't know about you all, but Ridley looks great there. He can still be scaled a little bigger than that and it would work fine. Hell, Ganondorf's head is going into the platform...I see a ridley debate, and someone saying Ridley looks bad scaled. Let me post these.

Paper Mario>Bowser Jr.>>>Toad>>>>Daisy>>>>>>Baby Daisy>>>>>>>>GenoGeno, so much.
I'm still annoyed at clone characters. You can definitely tell that Ganondorf and Falcon are based off the same moveset, for example.
And I'd like a feel more like Brawl+. I love the variables they've set for.. Pretty much everything.
Also, Geno.
I don't post alot.I don't know about you all, but Ridley looks great there. He can still be scaled a little bigger than that and it would work fine. Hell, Ganondorf's head is going into the platform...
...Anyway, even the games WITH Dark Samus have Ridley in them, and Ridley is the reason Samus became a bounty hunter.
RIdley is Samus' archrival.
So is Ganondorf at the end of TP... what's your point?Dark Samus is dead and the Prime series has ended. She has no more relevance to the franchise from this point onwards.
Yes, dark samus would fit better, but ridley is more relevant to samus's history.I can't recall any alternate Sonic antagonists being recurring. And I said that was one reason Dark Samus was a more likely character choice for Smash Bros. I'm trying to point out that Ridley is not the single hugest other character from the Metroid series. Dark Samus is definitely up there, and would actually fit in the game as a playable character, quite easily.
I wouldn't put it past Nintendo either.
They will cheapen it somehow. Dark Samus's "death" scenes in MP2 looked EXACTLY like the "death" scene at the end of the 3rd game. Makes me suspicious.The thing is, Dark Samus has kinda lost her chance with Brawl. The Prime trilogy is over, so unless Ninetndo wants to cheapen the ending of corruption, Dark Samus isn't coming back and she won't be relevant when the next smash bros game comes around. Ridley, on the other hand, will most likley continue to be on the late-game bosses like he always is, and lead the Space Pirates to terrorize new planets for Samus to save like he always does.
*coughs* THREE games.So she appeared in 2 games of an arc of a series. Wow. How... How should I put it... SO MUCH MORE than one game. Gasp.
What I want to say is that Ridley is the most important character of the series next to Samus. Dark Samus played a major role in 2 games! 2! Two! ONE TWO! That's more than one, but less than three. Two, to be exact. TWO. 2. Dos. Duo. Deux. Dvah. Zwei. Ni. Dalawa.
Do you understand now? 2 games! Vaati from the Toon-subseries of Zelda has appeared in more games than Dark Samus.
Whereas Ridley only had a few games he didn't appear in some form, and is a major character to develop the storyline of the whole series.
Don't get me wrong, I like Dark Samus, and I would love to see her in Smash, but please, Ridley is just faaaar more important.
Sylux is thusfar not a factor. WHATSOEVER.I dread to ask our opinion on Sylux's inclusion.
Agreed on all points.2. Ridley comes first. Dark Samus second. Rundas third. Sylux fourth. Ridley is the main antagonist of the series. He was in all but...three(?) games, one of which actually had a DESIGN CONCEPT for him to be in. So he was out of 2.5 games.
Dark Samus was the main antagonist in two games. She's popular, but she can be a Samus Clone. Just like Paper Mario, Bowser Jr., Krystal, Funky Kong, Rosalina....they SHOULD not, but COULD be a clone.
Rundas is pretty popular. He was in one game like Sylux, but the difference is...
Is MPH even a Metroid Prime game? I mean....sure it's in the title, but is it REALLY?
5. Sakurai had better throw Ridley in, people will NOT be happy if he keeps debating over Ridley when Samus has gone over 10 years without a rival to fight.
Ahhhh. So it CAN work.I see a ridley debate, and someone saying Ridley looks bad scaled. Let me post these.

Ninten could easily be an alternate costume for Ness or an Assist Trophy if they wanted to rep all three Mother games. Even if they DID add a third character rep, though, I doubt it'd be Ninten... after all, they can't think up a fully original moveset for two Mother heroes, so they probably wouldn't be able to think up a third one that isn't blatantly cloned.Ok. But I'm still sore that Ninten has been snubbed.
Actually, I believe I got it from you. A while ago, I was reading topics on Smash forums and that name came up. I liked it because it was silly. I bet I got it from you.Good roster. Only other character I can think of that should be in is Toon Zelda, but she's a=hardly a priority. Good job.
The Wolf Link mechanic is interesting, because it gets another character on the roster without taking up another spot.
I believe I've suggested the name Fisticuffs before in this thread. Did you get it from there, or was it just a coincidence?
-I honestly like the Diddy / Dixie pairing and do not really think it drags Diddy down. But that is just how I fell about it.Hrm, looks pretty good. My objections are:
-Diddy doesn't need to be paired with Dixie.
-Captain Rainbow is a bit doubtful.
-Female Trainer fits better as a alt costume. Also, I'm not sure about six reps for Pokemon. Four or five is fine.
-I'd prefer to remove Snake and Sonic to make room for new third parties, but that's just a weird quirk.
-Paper Mario is a popular character with three games where he is the protagonist... he should be in as a Mario spinoff. And it doesn't matter that's he's technically Mario. We aren't going for canonicity here.
-Animal Crossing characters. If you say it would be weird for them to fight, that's an argument a step above "Ridley's too big."
-Oh, and why does Random say Stage Selection?
Overall, it's a solid roster.
-Animal Crossing characters. If you say it would be weird for them to fight, that's an argument a step above "Ridley's too big."
EDIT: OMGSakurai said:Sakurai: The most important thing was simply whether or not it would make players happy. I mean, there are lots of popular games with characters that just aren’t meant for fighting and were too hard to incorporate into the Smash Bros. title. Heading the list of these characters are the ones from the games we just mentioned, Nintendogs and Animal Crossing. Because these are games played by lots of people, I knew players would be happy to see them make an appearance. This is why I wanted to find a way to put them in the game and why they became Assist Trophies.
Black Shadow is more recognizable (that's not saying a ton with F-Zero's cast, though) and it's likely that he's more popular (considering the anime).Why not Deathborn and not Black Shadow? Wasn't Deathborn so much more bad ***?
I was thinking that the character could plant a tree in the back round, and he shakes it continuously, while leaves and money bags fall out, stunning people, and the leaves turn into furniture flinging people.Final Smash - School Bus - The ACG waves as the School bus comes and he gets on, and goes off the screen, then it comes on the screen again, the ACG gets off and then the bus drives away. The Bus is not a 1-hit KO, but whoever comes in contact with it takes some decent damage. The ACG gets to control the Bus, in a Vertical way.
Hope you are satisfied.
Third party series only need one rep. Plus, why those people? Why not put in someone like Tails or Knuckles?Of course like most people I want people like Tom Nook, and all the other characters that people want like megaman, but I definitely think they need to expand sonic, they should add tails, knuckles, robotnik, and amy, but the reason I am posting is because there should be NO SHADOW. Shadow was not invented till freakin' gamecube, he is not at all a classic sega or nintendo character, he is some modern reincarnation of a sonic villain which is stupid, he is not classic and would suck in brawl. It is simply a stupid idea. Other good sonic characters would be big the cat, antoine d'coolette (he gots a sword), and bunny rabbot who is half robot. The characters final smashes could be just like the ideo games, tails had flying pirhanas that circled him and ate anyone near him, and knuckles turned into hyper knuckles and was hot pink. Robotnik could get into one of his pimped out robots. Just my ideas.
