Seriously, the Other M fight has a lot of moves for Ridley to use. Even a potential Final Smash (the giant fireball that explodes on the stage).
That sounds like a lame final smash. Obviously it should be
LANDMASTER!

I'm not sure what emotion that is there, but maybe Ridley is laughing at the idea that he won't be playable.

I may be one of the only ones here that is starting to somewhat like that design..

Frankly, I'm better off if THE Ridley is the one that's playable, as he's Samus's true enemy.
The only other recurring enemy was Dark Samus, and Ridley played a large part in the life of Samus. He killed her parents and is in i think every Metroid game, in his various forms of course
While i do like Dark Samus better for SSB4, he has appeared in more games and is a unique character,

And people won't cry "CLONE!!!!!" if Ridley is playable.

No, they will cry "SEMI-CLONE!!!!", saying that he ripped off Charizard with a one or two different moves.
There is no truth in that, while they are both dragons, all dragons breathe fire and fly so at most, they will look similar at first glance, when i play brawl, and i see Charizard jumping, he likes he is struggling to stay in the air. But ridley would play more like a death from above. a virtual flying grim reaper, a airborne death machine, capable of swooping in and clawing opponents to ribbons before landing. He would be more like jigglypuff than charizard, great in the air but terrible on the ground.

Ridley would also copy DK due to his Other M "gorilla" stance. :troll:

Well, there's also Mother Brain and Adam Malkovich. However, one lends herself terribly to Smash, and the other is a :75M:.

Jesus, the Wii is really showing its lack of horsepower there. It's a good thing that the fight had weird lighting to disguise the model's crappiness.

The obvious reason why Ridley and Dark Samus can't be in Smash together is that they'd both be clones of each other. :troll:

Well Mother Brain is a giant brain, so there goes that, and no matter how you twist it Adam could not be playable because he has no distinguished abilities, While snake is normal, he has the benefit of a bunch of weapons, Adam is just a person

What it comes down to is, Metroid needs another rep, and the only other viable candidates are Ridley and Dark Samus, so there is going to have to be a choice between the two, they can only throw in so many mario and pokemon characters, and who doesnt want to play as a giant space dragon,

But they can't include Ridley, he'd just end up a Dark Samus clone :(

im a little confused by that, i have been up a long timeand i am sick and wanted to check the two threads i watch, this and dark samus
xD sorry I generally only speak in sarcasm. I am a Ridley supporter first, Dark Samus supporter sometime after that. If only Ridley weren't so big, he'd stand a chance(;))

the size isnt the problem, look at bowser, he goes from the size of mario to the size of a 2 story building, ridley would have no problem with being downsized, he would most likely be the biggest character in the game.

He was being sarcastic again, TheJohnMonster. Don't fret.

Milk Maid Ridley doesn't affect me, Oasis. :troll:
Also, there's a Mach Rider thread now; surprised you hadn't posted in it yet.
Don't worry, I made sure you were added to the supporters. ;)
