TDub301 said:That's a negative buddy. Maybe you should play through the first Metroid again and brush up on your history before you go blurting out things you don't really know. Have you even read any of the previous posts? We've already talked about all this stuff. Ridley was about the same size as Samus in the original, did you ever play that one? In Super Metroid, I think Ronike already pointed out that he wasn't that much bigger than Samus in Super Metroid either. In fact, only in one or two games was he that much bigger than Samus. Also, nobody said that Bowser was always 10 times the size of Mario, we've only mentioned 2 out of like what? 30 or 40 Mario games where Bowser is that much bigger. And he should use that Ridley because he'd fit into the game better without making him a boss character and avoiding another murderous rampage.
Making him slightly bigger than Samus won't make him a pansy for the record, he'd still be one of the bigger, stronger characters in the game.
This is the internet. I was able to dig up an original Ridley sprite with a quick google search in the span of a couple minutes. You being on this board proves you have the internet as well. USE IT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT BEFORE YOU INSULT SOMEONE AS NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT NEXT TIME, OKAY?TDub301 said:Now it has been a long time since I played the original and Super Metroid, but 2 comments. One, he was not that much bigger than Samus in the original, I'm not lying and I'll thank you to not accuse me of lying, K THX (I see you didn't include a screenshot of the original in your little post on the last page, I wonder why?).
TDub301 said:And you should read my posts, I never said that you said he should be a boss, I'm saying that if he's that big he should be a boss cuz he can't be a regular character if he's way bigger than the rest of them. When did you read in my post that you said he should be a boss? Go ahead, go backtrack and read them again, I never put any words in your mouth that you didn't say, I merely responded. I am not lying, I'm going off of what I remember, why would I lie? That doesn't even make sense.
Your saying that Sakurai should use the smaller Ridley so Ridley doesn't have to be a boss while you were retorting me is a direct implication that I implied that bigger Ridley has to be a boss.TDub301 said:And he should use that Ridley because he'd fit into the game better without making him a boss character and avoiding another murderous rampage.
Easier said then done.Tiamat said:A) You should use Super Mario's size, not little Mario's size. TOAD is bigger than small Mario in that game, for crying out loud.
no they're not.B) Two of the pictures are the same thing and the third gives a forbidden error for some reason.
My point is size doesn't matter, again look at ridley in melee video.C) Mario RPG (all of them from Paper Mario to the original to Mario and Luigi), Mario Kart, the way Bowser is depicted in nearly all artworks and cartoons, New Super Maro Bros before he drinks the potion (far as I know anyways), etc. generally are that Bowser's generally been only a good chunk bigger than Mario as opposed to 10x bigger with only a few exceptions (of which I have no explanation for, but they are still few and generally not what he's typically depicted as. Regardless, it's obvious why Sakurai could easily go with SSBM Bowser size given that's the way Bowser's typically depicted, anyways)
Melee video, Ridely is about 5x Samuses size on average.And you still haven't addressed that Ridley hasn't ever undergone those drastic size changes. People's insistence on clinging to ONE THING instead of looking at THE WHOLE PICTURE is a poor way to conduct an argument.
Fix'd, and sm64 works for me.Ronike said:You have posted the all-stars picture twice and the link that leads to SM64 leads to an error page.
I told you people to get your eyes checked, dagnabbit. You obviously need to because you obviously didn't read my post. Or any of my many posts after it.Aiser said:seriously thats your only argument why he shouldn't be in it "he's too big" maybe you should take your own advise and look at the 'whole picture'.
No he isn't. He's more than 50% bigger than Samus in the original Metroid (which was retconned by Zero Mission, anyways). I've posted pictures to prove it.FlipTroopa said:in the very original NES Metroid, he's as big as Samus.
Well maybe you should READ MY POSTS next time instead of assuming I'm a friggin' CLONE of all those Ridley haters.Aiser said:edit: wait a second, wtf are you talking about? I thought you were arguing that ridley shouldn't be in it because he's too big? O_o
Ya he does have a picture up, even though I have a vivid memory of him being about half that size and red, not purple. But hey, the kids got pics to back it up, so I can't argue with that. Maybe it's some sort of remake, just I swear I don't remember the original Ridley looking like that.FlipTroopa said:I'm still on the fence with Ridley, but he was fairly small in the intro video to Melee, and in the very original NES Metroid, he's as big as Samus. Now he gets a lot larger in Super, Prime, Zero Mission, and especially Fusion, but he's constantly being rebuilt. One of the weirder aspects of the Metroid story is that Ridley keeps coming back despite blowing up or being there when the planet blows up. So it could just be a matter of "Oh, well, he's usually larger, but the Space Pirates were so fed up with reviving him, and low on resources, so he came out a little small this time."
That post is just SCREAMING "whiner" and those pics don't prove anything.Tiamat said:He was NOT the same size as Samus. Stop LYING, plz k thx.
And I showed a screenshot of Super Metroid. He's also not "not that much bigger" there. He's almost TWICE her size. STOP LYING PLZ K THX.
And you're mentioning of me saying Ridley should be a BOSS shows that YOU STILL DIDN'T READ MY POST. WHAT PART OF THE WORDS "PLAYABLE CHARACTER" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? Ronike at least did after I've brought it up, but you have no excuses! But that's to be expected since you have to resort to LIES (and hypocrisy as well, given that you're chastizing me for "blurting out things I don't know about" when YOU'RE the one that's LYING)

Ridley is greater than 50% Samus' size in the original Metroid. I'd HARDLY call that "about the same size." Not that I'd know why the heck Sakurai would want to go off of NES Ridley anyways when Zero Mission retconned that game.
I stopped taking the brawl section seriously and when I skimmed yoru post it seemed like you were saying ridley shouldn't be in it because he's to big.Tiamat said:Well maybe you should READ MY POSTS next time instead of assuming I'm a friggin' CLONE of all those Ridley haters.
After reading it just seems you don't want ridley to be a small dragon instead you want him to be flippin huge. in which case I take back my arguments..<_<Look people. Just because so many of you are clones of each other who do the same things all the time (like say, not read my posts) doesn't mean I'M a clone of those OTHER guys who say tha Ridley shouldn't be in the game because he's too big.
qft, more people should do this.Aiser said:I stopped taking the brawl section seriously
