Smash Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says ""Pic of the day. This dog is huge… Wait, no, the playable characters are small. The Smash Bros. series doesn't always stay true to scale."

obligatory, Ridley comment.
but seriously… olimar gets a size boost, bowser was reduced in size to fit, mewtwo kinda got a size reduction (he's quite a bit bigger than pikachu in the first movie than the two of them standing next to each other in smash), according to the pokedex charizard is only about 5'7 and lucario is supposed to be 3'11 so he got a boost in size seeing as how he's nearly looking charizard eye to eye. sizes are nonsense in the nintendo world they need to put Ridley in…

This reminds me of that one episode of the Mega Man animated series.

Am I the only one who sees this as some sort of cool camera angle-thingy? The way DDD and Megaman are facing just seems, not natural? Like the camera seems in a weird place?
Idk... It's probably just me.

I think sakurai just messed with the angle before taking the snapshot

LOL; at least there's a mention of Super Smash Bros.'s size discrepancies (which don't matter too much compared to the source material, IMO)! It would be hilarious if a similar quote were used should Ridley receive a reveal as a playable newcomer for SSB4. XD

Not trying to be a jerk but I don't see the appeal of Ridley. I would rather have mewtwo but whoever is in the game is in it. All I know is that eventually cut characters will return and the roster will become whole someday

"The Smash Bros. series doesn't always stay true to scale."
Meaning all arguments suggesting that Ridley and other tall characters are too big for smash, are now invalid.

Are we forgetting that The Smash Characters are trophies/toys? The dog is life size and the characters are just in their toy size. Thats why the dog is so big

this must be the most lame stage ever... unless the dog actually does something to teh stage.
otherwise it's just an ordinary flat stage...

You mean months ago, this was in the reveal trailer wasn't it
Yeah, but it was never said it wasn't a playable characters. Here it says that the playable characters are small and the nintendog is big. therefore the nintendog is not playable. (you do know I'm trolling, right?)
