Ridley is pretty much the most important character on the villain's side, bar none. Also super viable, popularity or otherwise. The Hunters would be easy to translate, but I still worry they won't be actually made unique at all. And a size change for me would make them unique as it changes the playstyle entirely. Due to range, knockback, damage, and sometimes other move properties.(sometimes the element of the move can matter, as shown by Pokemon Trainer and in the SSE, although I'm not sure on the latter as much).

It's been a while since we've had a Ridley debate. We're long overdue, aren't we.

Getting a Metroid villain other than Ridley would be like replacing Bowser with one of the one-shot Mario villains. It's just not right. He's the archnemesis.

[up]Really? He comes up every couple of pages from what I recall.

He actually doesn't get mentioned quite often, usually besides a quick and easy joke about his size.

...Let me rephrase that.

Shadow?

So even if Ridley gets scaled down to tiny ass sprite size, how's he going to be balanced?

He's sort of a massive badass and most of his attacks don't lend well to a fighting game.

Oh really when?

How's Bowser ever going to be balanced, either? He's this big badass turtle that spits giant fireballs and moves like greased lightning!

Adam is too big.
Actually, that raises a valid point- In Other M, either Samus shrank in the wash or the men in the Metroid universe average around eight feet tall.

Eh, Ganondorf is way more unstoppable than Ridley, but he works fine.

I don't think Ridley's validity is really debatable, it's just whether or not he WILL be included, rather than CAN he.

Give him wrestling moves to foreshadow the impending Mario-centered wrestling game.

I think I got about half of the jokes in that picture.

Can someone explain what Tharja has to do with anything?

[up]Exactly.

Oh, and "Avatar bets" are a GAF tradition where they make a bet, and the loser has to use a really bad avatar for a certain period of time after.

We probably shouldn't do that here.

It's certainly possible, how far in the future was it? It could the new average height due to evolution, or even genetic engineering. More likely though, the explanation for that is that they were less concerned about canonicity than...other things.

Also, I don't see why Toon Zelda couldn't be Tetra and transform into Toon Sheik.

I seem to recall Samus towering over just about every other human whenever she's near them.

Might just be the suit though

The Tharja pic represents "Smash weekends". Deprived of pics of the day to spur discussion, the conversation quickly degenerates, and borderline porn used to get posted before the mods cracked down on that stuff.

@Pulse: Now I'm imagining Samus climbing into a washing machine and going for a spin.

Though, the reason is probably that the idea of any men being shorter than Samus bothered Sakamoto.

[up][up]It's never stated outright (at least not as far as I can tell), but that's certainly the general conscience among the vast majority of its detractors.

Also yet another one of those red button topics, by the way.
