Oh hai everybody, how're you today? Me? Not great, as for some reason this was dropped in my mailbox:
I know we're not exactly super understanding and kind most of the time with Ridley detractors, but my God, this is specifically calling me out, calling me ********, and the comment section is just showing no respect whatsoever.
...thumb it down into oblivion.
Out of curiosity, which of the videos did you show them first; the pro-Ridley one or the anti-Ridley one? I would imagine that whichever one they saw first would be the one they'd lean towards.(FLAMESHIELD ACTIVATED)
I actually thought in the comments Shokio did a decent job defending his view. He saw in his eyes that Ridley was too big given the source material, and that sizing him down would not work due to the size difference and the anatomy. When not raging in a comedic way, I actually think he can argue his point, and legitimately believes that Ridley is too big.
(FLAMESHIELD DISINGAGED)
However, I do not agree with him in the slightest. As our good friend here who post the best Ridley arguments has shown, Ridley can easily work given how Smash Bros has already dabbled in sizes and how Ridley makes sense. Hell, I was able to show the video, and Shokio's video to a few people I knew, and they stated that Ridley should be in after seeing both.

All of what you said about that one guy would be respectable if he were arguing about why he, personally, doesn't think Ridley would work as a good character. But his entire schtick, his Internet persona, if you will, is to be an ignorant arse and declare from on high that Ridley CANNOT work, ever, before baiting Ridley fans to give him attention and video views. He admitted to as much in the General Discussion Thread about a week ago, along with claiming that "he doesn't need to do research to claim that Ridley can't work, because he's 18 feet in all of his appearances or whatever LOL."(FLAMESHIELD ACTIVATED)

He'll be the very slightest bit upset at the very least, simply because that's one less stupid thing to pull in his sheep-like viewers.Shokio said he'd just shrug and say it made no sense.
will they be shaped like ridleyHey just letting you guys know when Ridley gets in I will make all of us some cake and cookies for every supporter.
Those would be some big cookies!will they be shaped like ridley
will they be shaped like ridley
What makes it even weirder for me is that Ridley not only doesn't seem to have a canonical size (his size changes vastly with each game), but his appearance in the most popular Metroid games (Super Metroid and Metroid Prime) show him to be roughly twice the mass of Samus (specifically with metroid Prime's Meta Ridley, his body is actually pretty small. It's his wings that are really huge, which I like actually). Then there are games like Metroid Prime 3, where Ridley was freakishly huge for whatever reason, and in Zero Mission his sprite was maybe around 3 times the size of Samus.I bet people will still be calling him too big long after he's confirmed.
And then 10 years later he'll be too big for SSB5.
Ridiculous.
Canon size doesn't matter, confirmed.
The argument is done. It died. Why are people trying to bring it back? CAN THEY THINK OF NOTHING ELSE?
Oddly enough, this is why I generally try to not use the term toobigot.Hey guys! I would like to recommend not instigating against Ridley detractors. Debating is fine and dandy but try not to call people names or spout ill wishes and what not.

I will frame them in a glass case....
I did a 50/50 between them, and they all leaned Pro.Out of curiosity, which of the videos did you show them first; the pro-Ridley one or the anti-Ridley one? I would imagine that whichever one they saw first would be the one they'd lean towards.
Boogers.Well, I think there is nothing to be said what hasn't been said in 468 pages
FixedRidley is supposed to be the Phoenix Wright of Smash bros.
this video is the worst thing I have ever seen ,it's clear that he didn't see your video because in it you said Ridley is crouchOh hai everybody, how're you today? Me? Not great, as for some reason this was dropped in my mailbox:

yes ... yes .... but .... NOW DRAW MORE CUCCOS MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHxD i know....but i felt kind of lazy to add more..and i needed to do some homework so i did it really quick
My aching sides...I'm Italian but I think I write English a lot better than those stupid people in the comments.
thank you very muchMy aching sides...
If I had any extra room in my signature, I'd put it there in a heartbeat.
And THIS is why any anti-Ridley arguement fails to be even relateable.Oh hai everybody, how're you today? Me? Not great, as for some reason this was dropped in my mailbox:

Are they so arragont that even Sakurai cant shut up em you think?At this point, I honestly believe that no matter what the hardcore detractors won't listen. It's basically like trying to talk to a brick wall, they don't want to understand so they refuse to listen to any points anyone brings up for him, no matter how good they are or how they refute their arguments. The best we can do at this point is keep making the arguments we're making because our points still stand strong, and we can still convey our opinions to those who want to listen. If those detractors still refuse to even bother to try and understand, then they can remain in their own little bubble.
I admire your passion but respectfully disagree. If Ridley were made to be bigger than everyone else then the toobigots win. It would be "proof" that Ridley couldn't work and was only made playable to pander to the "idiot masses of Ridley supporters".Alright guys!
Let's look at this at a different angle.
People want Ridley to be big?
Let's make him big!
I propose we make him this game's Sentinel or Golden Lightan!
For those of you who don't know...
Sentinel and G. Lightan are very large characters and yet they were put in fighting games.
Here is Sentinel for example.
The idea is that yes, Ridley is much much larger than any other character, but he is so because that's his shtick! It's his gimmick.
Now, that may sound all fine and dandy but this idea has been talked about before, has it not?
Well yes! Yes, it has! But never in a lot of detail.
Individuals such as @GoldenYuiitusin have brought it up before.
Still, aside from just saying "yeah, that'd be cool," we've never done anything about it.
So let's stop that!
I'm calling out to all of you Ridley fans out there!
Let's make a whole moveset and playstyle like that!
Let's embrace "DA BIGZ" and show those detractors something that will make their heads spin!
Who's with me?
You mean like those who say "Sonic was only included to pander to the Sega fanboys?"I admire your passion but respectfully disagree. If Ridley were made to be bigger than everyone else then the toobigots win. It would be "proof" that Ridley couldn't work and was only made playable to pander to the "idiot masses of Ridley supporters".
