Look, I just don't think Ridley fits into the game! He's cool, but will probally be an Assist Trophy at the most. And Bowser is much smaller then Ridley in the games he is in. (Except Mario Galaxy.)

Ridley's size varies just like Bowser's does too.

In one of the games he was only a bit bigger than Samus.
 
hope you realize that ridley has been the same size of samus once(metroid 1) and also one of the smallest bosses in the game of super metroid.

Infact ridley just seems to switch sizes very often, i think the 3d games are like the only games where he is honestly that big as seen in prime.

Much like bowser, who seems to grow into various sizes throughout the franchise.

I mean we got bowser at a good size so why not ridley?

Ridley is probally going to be a Stage Hazard, anyway.
 
To me, there's no reason not to include Ridley.

Think about it. Metroid is one of the biggest and most popular Nintendo franchises. Yet somehow, it only had one rep up until Brawl. Even then, ZSS wasn't her on character on the select screen.

So add another Metroid character! Ridley makes the most sense. He's an iconic villain and is very popular. Besides, who else would you put in for Metroid representation? Anthony Higgs?

they should obviously add kraid.
 
And to think that Nintendo trolled us badly when they revealed Melee at the E3 in 2001 by showing Ridley fighting Samus in the intro. That was so epic. Ridley should really be playable.
 
man the super metroid comparison seems like kraid is banging ridley

I like how you're shown evidence that Ridley can be scaled down and adjusted to meet the standards of size in SSB, similar to how Olimar, who's usually the size of a quarter, is scaled up to be playable, but you still go "Nope! Still too big because reasons". :rolleyes:

how the fuck is he "too big"

its just a common excuse for ridley to not be playable.
so basically people are in denial about Ridley being a possible newcomer despite the fact that Ridley is definitely possible

...

.....lol

yep.

thats actually it, sad but its very true.
 
My thing with Ridley is that I don't see the appeal for the character.

All the characters are either humanoid or have anthropomorphic tendencies to them. They seem like they are players, not enemies.

With Ridley, it's just a massive dragon-esque creature. To me, there seems to be little appeal, and would stick out compared to the other characters in the game.

And you have to understand that with the whole "Ridley is too big" argument, it's not always referring to the fact that in most apperances, Ridley is a character that wouldn't fit on the screen. It may also refer to the fact that proportionately, there may be some awkward ajustments, or the character may seem not well suited to move around as smoothly as some of the other characters.

I'm not doubting that they couldn't make a move set for him (because honestly you could with any character like Rosalina), and I think that as shown in Brawl that there is a lot he can do. Though, as a character, I think it would be a bit unfitting for him. In my opinion, he should be stage hazard/boss/assist trophy or whatever allows him to still partake in the game, as I do think having his representation for Metroid is neccessary. But other than that, no.

Speaking realistically, yeah, they probably won't add any Sonic characters. But I'd still like to hope one day I'll be able to play as Knuckles in a Smash Bros game.
I hope (if it happens) it's

That wouldn't happen, if Knuckles somehow managed to get in (If there's going to be any 2nd Sonic rep at all. It's going to be Tails). Sonic Boom will be kept it's own thing, so the normal designs are still going to be used in other Sonic games that are not Sonic Boom related.

oh i can see the reasons behind him not getting in, but thing is another metroid rep is something id like to see, and ridley fits the bill the best, well either him or dark samus.

But i doubt we'll even get another metroid rep to begin with since metroid seems to be one of the least favorite of nintendos franchises.
 
Until the day Nintendo directly buys other companies, I don't think a second representive from series of 3rd companies should be considered. Sonic Boom is another topic within the Sonic fanbase.
 
Characters who should NOT be playable in SSB4:

Toad- You can see why
Metal Mario- A copy of Mario, pls no more copies
Peppa Pig- Yeah, since their is no Muddy Puddles, she wont be their
Ren- He'll wreck the game
Daisy- We already have enough Princesses
Mii- How can this even have a moveset?
