Another reason I want Lip playable I guess; I want to beat the crap out of a badass space dragon with a cute little fairy just to see the Ridley player's reactions.

Ignoring that there's also asexual reproduction, which is the more likely explanation for Mew "giving birth" to all the other Pokemon.

All the Mew corrections I was going to make have already beeen said.

I loved to play as Mewtwo too. Lucario is exceptionally stiff by comparison. I think Disable should be reworked to work like a Deku Nut, stunning on the ground, Meteor Smashing in the air, and with a much greater (Mewtwo-sized) range.

If Ridley was playable, how big would you guys have him be? I see him as being Bowser's size or a little bigger, and spending his time hunched over, wings folded in. Being skeletal, he'd be lighter than Bowser and easier to send flying, but he'd have better maneuverability in the air.

I'd be fine with a roughly Bowser-sized Ridley, so long as he's appropriately hunched over and skeletal.

Also, going through Corruption again, there's quite a few attacks he uses in his Omega Ridley form that would translate well. The beam-claws could be a decent Smash attack, and the combination of electrified tail spin and flame jet would be a good neutral B; with the lightning shield as a down-B. Up-B could be the bombing run combined with his jet-enhanced leaps from the first Prime.

A bit taller than Rosalina/Ganondorf, and a bit wider than Bowser.

I believe that Ridley's big thing should be that he's big. He'd be a Glass Cannon Lightning Bruiser that, while not very good at free-for-alls, is excellent at duels because of how attack-focused he is.

Or would that be the other way around? Hmmm....

I don't think making him good at 1-on-1 specifically would be a very good idea considering how often that mode is played.

That said, I don't think him being big would have much to do with that. They probably could make his gimmick be that he's, well, big, just like other fighting games have had before. (Marvel 2 immediately comes to mind with Sentinel and Skullgirls with Big Band) They just have to balance out his attack range to compensate, probably. As long as they don't give his tail too many moves, he should have hitboxes that can be pretty close to his hurtbox and therefore pretty easy to stuff.

Lightning Bruiser Ridley is the only acceptable Ridley.

Hope no one wanted Alfonzo playable. Unless he is, and someone else drives the train when both Toon Link and Alfonzo are fighting.

I figured he'd be slow on the ground, but fast in the air, with a wider hitbox/hurtbox. He'd revolve around trying to be in hovering height. His normals, tilts and Smashes wouldn't be that great, but his throws and Air attacks would.

I don't understand why they would do that. I mean, playable Toon Link is obviously Wind Waker Link and he and Spirit Tracks Link are different people. And there is no way any one wouls mistake those two apart when the ST Link is wearing his conductor suit.

What would he look like though?

His Other M appearance to match Samus or maybe one of his older Prime versions?

Probably because Toon Link isn't a specific Link, he just is a specific design. He's just a composite of all the ones designed that way.

Nevermind the fact that we can have FOUR Toon Links onscreen at once.tongue

As for Ridley? I'd expect his Super/Brawl design. Though, if he's a stage hazard it's obviously gonna be Choogle.

I don't know that nickname.

I feel they'd probably go with his most iconic (purple) design, unless they made him a cyborg for some of the newer moves.

What names can Dark Samus be referred to that don't include "Samus" in them? I figure it might be called "Prime", which could refer to both Metroid Prime the character and its Samus incarnation as Dark Prime or Hunter Prime.

[down]Oh, that. I saw a picture of that when I read his wiki page.

Choogle was the name for Ridley's sort of what would you call them? Baby forms?

Anyway this adorable little thingy named Choogle grows up into Ridley

If Rids gets in, he'll probably use his Other M design as a base, with some elements from his Brawl appearance or even Prime appearance mixed in, the same way Samus isn't a direct rip from Other M.

Not so crazy about the Other M Ridley, it's sorta too bulky, and his mouth looks like a duck bill. On the other hand, Other M Ridley is a clone rather than the real deal, so the aesthetic changes could just be some growth deviations rather than "how Ridley would look in 3D", in which case assuming SSB Ridley is THE Ridley, he'd probably look more like his Brawl/Prime design.

Even if they went with Other M Ridley, I'd assume they'd probably fix his mouth.

On the subject of Dark Samus having a different name, could we just call her Metroid Prime?

Or what did the pirates call her? Dark Hunter or Dark One or Black Demon or something.

I hope they use Brawl Ridley or something derived from that design. Other M Ridley is waaaay too bulky and muscular; he's supposed to look sleek, agile, and streamlined.

She'd probably get the jellyfish form from the first game as a Final Smash, so using the Metroid Prime name for both that and the Dark Samus form might make some sense.

That's what I was thinking. Otherwise, I'd just go with Dark Hunter.

I think Donkey Kong is a better size and build analogue for Ridley than Bowser. Bowser better demonstrates his ground speed, though.
