If this were to actually happen, I'd probably cry myself to sleep every night.
I've been playing Melee a lot recently, it's growing on me, but I definitely would rather keep the speed of Smash Wii U. Melee is definitely fun and interesting though, not that Smash Wii U isn't.
Well, good luck about Ike, people are trying to send him off since Brawl. Charizard and Roy are still pretty popular. Lucina, Dr. Mario and Dark Pit might go but I doubt it, considering they weren't too much hassle to add to begin with. And... why would Ryu and Cloud leave while the others stay?
Well yeah they were, but considering Brawl didn't really get picked up very well in the "pro" scene, that was pretty obvious.
Smash Wii U is the right amount of balance of speed, honestly. I just love how crazy Melee can get, but I know i'm in the minority here.
I wouldn't oppose. Snake was still a pretty big name (well, at least Metal Gear was) but it's not like NMH is unknown.
From this comment I'm assuming you mean casually.
No, I mean Melee's controls was super responsive and it's really hard to get used to it after you played the other games.
Ryu's owned by the same company as Mega Man, while Cloud is easily one of the most iconic RPG protagonists of all time. More importantly, neither Capcom or Square-Enix have gone Konami-levels of crazy - I'm less certain about Cloud sticking around, but both of them are defining characters for their respective genres (fighting games and RPGs), and I don't see why Nintendo, Capcom, or Square-Enix would turn down the idea of them returning.
I would love to see Travis Touchdown make it in. While Bayonetta was something of an anomaly due to the Smash Ballot, she does show that Sakurai is willing to consider third party characters who don't have as long of a history as series like Pac-Man, Sonic, or Final Fantasy. Plus, Suda's been pretty persistent about wanting to see Travis in Smash (close to a decade now, if not over it), and I really hope that his persistence pays off - the NMH games are a ton of fun.
I've played Melee when I was like 6, and I could never do smash attacks, I was actually surprised when I found out there was a difference between tilts and smashes.

The only way I don't see Cloud or Ryu coming back is if Sakurai don't want them for Smash Switch. That's it. Every other potential reason for why either of them could get cut makes no sense.
I had a similar problem, but opposite. All we did was Smash attacks. When Brawl came out, we learned about tilts lol. I remember accidentally doing tilts in Melee (especially up tilt with Ganon) and being really confused lol.I've played Melee when I was like 6, and I could never do smash attacks, I was actually surprised when I found out there was a difference between tilts and smashes.
Years later I assumed it was because I was a dumb kid because smashes and tilts are extremely easy to differentiate between in later smash games. However I went back to Melee recently and I just can't play it! Everytime I try to do a smash I go for a tilt instead, I just can't get the timing right. I didn't realize how different the games were built (and how much of a filthy casual I really was
So he'll be in because they said they couldn't include him?
It's not unheard of - Villager (who was seen as too peaceful), Pac-Man (Sakurai wasn't sure how he could work), and Miis (concerns about bullying) were rejected for one reason or another only to be added in later.
Well, Sakurai's opinions often change. Just look at Villager, Miis, and Pac-man: all three of them were rejected Brawl characters that made it into Smash 4 because Sakurai rethought the way they work. Sakurai loves to revisit ideas he couldn't previously get off the ground, such as Final Smashes and 8-Player Smash. Ridley's chances at being in Smash Switch come down to a coin flip: if Sakurai still thinks he's too big, he's not getting in. Likewise, if Sakurai has changed his mind about Ridley's size, he's almost certainly getting in due to the fact he has everything else going for (popularity, relevance to his home series, moveset potential, etc.).
I don't think it's really similar situation to previous ones. It's a matter of whether Ridley would still be Ridley with Ganondorf's size. Regardless of what he thinks of a character, if they require all platforms at the hand to be recalculated, it's not really an idea worth to revisit.
Whether Ridley would still be Ridley at Ganondorf's size has been always been the debate. Of course Ridley can be shrunk down physically, the debate then becomes if this shrunk-down Ridley is still representative of Ridley as he appears in Metroid.
If you asked me, 8-player Smash might not be the best move for a game demo.
It's a matter of proportion. You can scale down a bulky character and it would still look big. A character scrawny as Ridley would look funny at that size.
Considering he's gotten on a soapbox against Nintendo publicly for not supporting Melee as much as he wants, to say nothing of the thing with Reggie, I'm really not surprised.
Yes, but Nintendo still likes him. Like remember the time that Reggie and Hungrybox vs'd each other?
ZeRo is just a really lucky dude. I wish I could get those opportunities, but I am not much of a pro in Smash. :L
Well yeah- What I find it weird is that- out of the bunch of people who were choosen- most of them are people in the KH community or Game journalist- ZeRo stick out weirdly with the bunch-
Any artist worth their salt could make a custom Ridley design that is shrunk down but still skinny. Just because Ridley's height is decreased doesn't mean you need to decrease the weight at the exact same rate. Just look at the Smashified Ridley, he's shrunken down and skinny without looking awkward.
Smashified also don't need permission from anyone worked on Metroid but okay, we can assume he can be proper size.
It's very unlikely anyone in Nintendo really puts up a fight about having their character in Smash. It's third parties that are the issue, and even then most companies that don't rhyme with "Bonami" play ball fairly easily.
... I'm flattered that my comment meant so much to you that you let it harm you emotionally, but I never said I didn't want Mango there, nor did I make fun of you... I, just like basically everyone else, didn't see Mango being invited to a family-friendly Nintendo event. I'm absolutely baffled as to how you felt attacked or made fun of by that comment...
Better get used to it man. It’s hard to go a day without somebody pulling this.
I mean I'm used to it as far as normal cases go, but if you go look at the comment he quoted... I can't even begin to figure out where the attack/mocking was.
We'll find anything to get triggered, even if we have to make it up, I guess.
