If they try to give the "He's too big!" excuse then I'll just point to the 1st post and many Ridley hacks.

I've read someone exlain somewhere that even that Melee intro Ridley isn't actually too small. It's mostly his posture that suggests he's smaller.

Nope. I've checked the gif, he's no more than a foot of so taller than Samus, an that's only if he stands fully upright.

Thought it was mostly the perspective.

Stupid P words.

It's actually always pannoyed me how people point to the Melee intro, PUT PHATEVER.

It IS the perspective. Look how large Ridley is when Samus jumps over him

I swear, you Ridley fans are lucky in that the most common argument against your character is actually meme-worthy. :grrr:

For the third time...

C'est ne pas un grand Ridley.



You were saying, Ridley's-too-big defenders?

My biggest essay ever: 2015 words.

WELL.

I think Ridley SHOULD be big, and intimidating. It works with the character. But he should be able to fit in. If Pikachu can be almost as big as Mario, I don't think this'll be too hard to do.

Ah, so he's not fat enough...
But I think wider than Ganondorf is a little too much. Ganondorf packed a few pounds in between Melee and Brawl. If Ridley was that wide, or even wider, he wouldn't be able to fly anymore. Or he would, and he'd be too similar to Charizard.


I hope people realize I'm joking

ARE WE REALLY GOING TO HAVE THIS ARGUMENT.

The space Ridley takes up along the x-axis should be greater than the space Ganondorf takes up along the x-axis.

I'm sorry, but the ambiguity of terms for spacial dimensions is very infuriating.

Also Saving Diddy from having to post. Might also be known as Stealing a post.

@Oasis_S

To make your bolded 'S' more visible, italicize them. That's my Suggestion.

That's why he needs to be the steroids induced Ridley from Other M.
That is one of my favorite Ridley designs. Plus is that his tail is much smaller than some other forms.

The game will need to ship with two disks. One is Ridley, the rest is the game. Unfortunately, the Wii-U can only read one disk at a time.

Notably, Waluigi was only an Assist, and Mewtwo, who has a purple tail, was cut from Brawl. Ridley was also a boss. Twice. Both times, he was purple.
Captain Falcon used to be wear purple, but now he wears blue.

This obviously means that if you are purple as a default color, you aren't getting in (unless your color is changed). :troll: This is why we can get Wario......in his biker outfit. No purple there. :awesome: (His pants are pink; pink is ok.)

Do people really not get when I am joking?
