Faulty argument? His logic is flawless. Any real Ridley fan wouldn't want him to be shrunk down to fit with the others, and it seems giant fighters are not going to happen, Sakurai is a true Ridley fan!
If it was possible for Olimar to inexplicably grow, the same can be said for Ridley shrinking. That's my point. If Olimar can do it despite ROB being there, Ridley can do it despite Samus being there.

You should be happy, Ridley looks freaking glorious.
Also I found this:
Sakurai will not please everyone with every little point of each SSB game. And he knows it. As long as he has his justified reasons for each thing he puts in the game or leaves out of the game and the game is damn fun then we all win. Sakurai is not God, he can't make perfection, he just tries his best.

Oh nice. You decide to flag me for "trolling." "Ehhh I'm not an admin." Yeah well you abuse your power.
He's a wimpy punching bag who joins you and lets you kill him scot free for beating him up. He's not "glorious", he's a disgrace. Also, your definition of "true Ridley fan" is hilariously twisted.
Abuse of power my ass.
Whether or not you are speaking your mind is irrelevant to why you're getting flagged for trolling. You are being outright malicious to Ridley fans (you might as well just kick a malnourished puppy while you're at it), which the mods explicitly stated is not okay.
If you disagree with sakurai that's fine but don't act like he's an idiot for not agreeing with you about ridley. after all, he's the one who is dealing with reality and not hypotheticals when he makes the game.
Yeah, the more I think about it the less it makes sense for Ridley to be basically just an over sized Flying Man. Like I said I'm happy he's in the game and all but this portrayal of him is not right at all.
] Were only left to speculate.
I'm not malicious to Ridley fans. I'm malicious to those who are annoying and won't accept the fact that Ridley was deconfirmed a while ago. They have beens spamming in the community with their want, when the entire time it was for nothing. It's like if people wanted Waluigi to be even when he was deconfirmed. It's happened by the way with him. If Ridley is in, great, if he's not, oh well. If you like Ridley, it's not my duty to tell you your opinion sucks. If you think Ridley has a chance to be in the game, even when there were soft deconfirmations, there's something VERY wrong with you.
Overreacting, I'll let you chill for awhile.
I'm here to discuss, I did my gloating back in April...
Can we just say lots of people broke the rules here.
Overreacting? Those examples rolled right off the top of my head. I am simply telling it like it is - there are so many examples of characters having some quality about them compromised to fit the rules of Super Smash Bros. But that doesn't make them bad representations of the character. Ridley being scaled down though (even though his size varies across Metroid canon) and not being able to fly constantly? Oh no, you can't represent the character that way. The only thing I can see here is double standard and blatant hypocrisy.
The point is that daddy Sakurai said Ridley is too damn big to be in the game, while in reality Olimar is only centimeters tall, making him too damn small to be in the game. If they enlarged Olimar, why can't they shrink Ridley? Sakurai is contradicting himself when he says he stays true to the characters' source material and does want to bend them out of shape, for a lack of a better term, to be in the game, when they enlarged Olimar more than they would have to shrink Ridley.
Oh look, more pointing fingers at other series.
Here is your Metroid series character for Smash Brawl (that is not the size of a building like Ridley).
You do realize that telling people the rules isn't spam, right? Editing the original post would do nothing, especially when others blatantly ignore moderator warnings already.
While I still disagree that Riley is too big (the size of a building? Really) I think the Chozo ideas actually pretty darn good idea.Here is your Metroid series character for Smash Brawl (that is not the size of a building like Ridley).
An awakened Chozo.
He didn't outright say it but it was implied.
Most people complain about proportions but even those can be changed (remember people Sakurai said himself "we could probably make i work"). It seems that when we say "shrink Ridley down") people think we mean as big as Pikachu or something.
So am I. That would make such an awesome Metroid game.
You're proving my point.
Ridley can sure get our Smash community all fired up and emotional.
Kind of hard not to when he's the only character who has had a stigma as to why he can't be in attached to him for nearly a decade. Now we find that the director subscribes to that thought process, and we're having yet another clash between fans, haters, and neutrals.
Two posts from the mods about that isn't clogging up the forum.
Every example you just gave is quite different from Ridley's situation. All those changes were made to achieve balance. If Kirby has limited jumps, Samus has unlimited missiles, and Sonic doesn't break the sound barrier, it's okay. Their portrayals are still accurate because those particular features aren't as drastic as sizing Ridley down.
