What if he grabs someone (or multiple people) and scrapes them across the wall or floor before hitting them with a massive fireball?

Well, that sounds a great idea. It would go quite well with his aggressiveness and ferocity.

After fighting haters on the Kystal board, this is an improvement. I'm not even a big fan of hers.

Speaking of "Too Big", I wonder how the haters detracted from characters that actually ended up in the game before. Bet they look stupid now.

True, but what silly reasons were being made for say, King Dedede to not be a charater?

Or
I'm still a big fan of Ridley summoning a Space Pirate strike force to swarm the stage... Mostly, it'd be fun to play Ridley's enemy and cut a swath through the alien army.

All that being said... it's much more likely that it'll be something where he just grabs the enemy and does an awesome attack, which I guess would be fine as well. :p

As far as I remember, and was at least was true for me personally, Dedede was undoubtedly the most likely character. I didn't even dare put Ridley above him back in the day.

Only thing I remember people saying about him was that he would be a Kirby clone, which idiots said about every character ever until you weren't left with any. Ridley would be a bowser clone, Diddy a DK clone, etc.

If anything, I think Other M Ridley looks closer to his original concept and artwork in the manga/games, maybe better even in terms of wingspan, specific things like his tail being visibly bone, and proportions. It's just the way the boss battle sizes him up and makes him look more bipedal than he is usually depicted as being (big hulking arms/torso, as seen in this and this. Yet not as much when he's crouched/in his "traditional" 2D Metroid flying position, like in this.). The only real things that bother me are, as Oasis pointed out earlier, his feet having 3 toes in place of 2 (which it has always been), and his lower jaw/lip being longer than his top one, and the way they curve outward rather than inward towards his teeth. Reminds me of this >
enemy from Kirby 64.


Either way, I'd prefer we see this in any way, shape or forme (prefer his Melee rendition, myself) rather than nothing. (or worse, just a boss again)


Damn he looks scary! Like The Hunters from Resident Evil....

Another good reason they shouldnt use that design its too scary for Smash.

I wonder how many PeePz would still say hes too BiG...if he was never a boss in brawl?

Might just be some guys that dont think nothing of Ridley but when asked if he thinks he could be playable replies ''dunno'' then remembers or someone reminds him of his boss status in brawl then goes ''No..too BiG''

What I'm saying is that Kraid should be in 4 because if Ridley isn't too big than neither is he

compare ridley's size in melee to kraid's size in melee. now say that kraid isn't big.

Besides, if you really want to support kraid, why don't you make a thread (unless there already is one :p)

We've had worse things here than your typical Canadian trolls. The thread can take it.

False Kraid. Real Kraid is still too large, and he's a stage element on Brinstar Depths.
dedede is a stage element in dream world and olimar is less than an inch tall

your argument is crumbling apart
