[up]Someone will have an Inferno alt. FOR THE COLONY!

But yeah, I've seen even more stuff that could show that Ridley isn't too big. He could even play like ass, but I still want him in the game...

Also, Dry Bowser needs to be an alt.

In that video he has Captain Falcon's voice and most of Charizard's moveset. Weird.

It's starting to really bother me that almost nobody drafting Ridley size comparisons tries to portray him as quadrupedal on the ground, which was the case in Prime, Corruption and whenever he landed in Brawl. It just looks so much more natural than trying to use his flying pose in a grounded state.

Actually, in Corruption he often walked on two legs.

I thought he walked on four, and only stood on two when opening his Christmas presents?

So that leaves Chrom as the sole disappointment. I kind of feel sorry for him, seeing how he's going to get so much hate. Not sorry enough to want him in, but enough that I won't dread him.

Meh, at least his fans will most likely get to play his character in Smash unlike many, many other characters that won't make it in as playable. Besides, considering around half the newcomer characters aren't declared Base Breakers on the YMMV page for no reason and it's not as if characters being blamed for whoever didn't make it in isn't a common thing in crossovers, let alone Smash. Remember ROB?

[up][up][up][up][up][up][up] I dunno about the others, but Ridley's pretty freaking huge in that second pic. It'd get really noticeable once he starts moving. And speaking of which, I assume the reason nobody thinks about quadruped Ridley is because he's a very long creature, so him moving on all fours would result in a definitely bad hitbox (especially when you factor in the tail).

It works for Ivysauur because Ivysaur's basically a little square with legs. Ridley? Not so much.

If Ridley is in his attacks should give him super armor unless he is hit in his mouth.

Super armour would indeed be necessary for Ridley.

KnownUnknown Since: Jan, 2001
#49438: Jul 12th 2014 at 7:38:56 AM

I guess super-armor makes sense given his size, but then his movements would have to be slower so that he's not broken, right?

Doubtful. When he doesn't have super armor he would be a massive target

KnownUnknown Since: Jan, 2001
#49440: Jul 12th 2014 at 7:48:56 AM

If he's fast (or arguably, even with average speed), big and has super armor that would be an enormous problem for a game with the mechanics Smash has - especially if he can also fly. Note that super-armor itself is a tool to keep big characters from suffering from the issues of being targets anyway.

I always figured Ridley's default pose should be crouched with arms over his knees, like a bird perched and waiting for prey. Reflects Super Metroid and cutscenes in Zero Mission. Consider it a way of making sure he's big while lowering his size by basically compacting him.

...also, if Ridley's in and he doesn't have the present-opening thing as a taunt I'll be disappointed.

I was wondering, if there's a reveal on Monday, why is the supposed trailer 3 minutes long? Aren't character trailers at least a minute long, 2 minutes at most?

Maybe the rest of the time will go to other announcements, like a Wii U release date, new game modes, or confirmation of Wario's return.

If the reveal is Shulk's, I could easily see him paired up with either Meta Knight (swordsmen) or Snake (robot destroyers).

Sakurai talks for half a minute about the gaming industry, draws a conclusion about the importance of indie developers and BAM, Shantae/Quote.

Literally the only possible explanation.

Palutena's trailer was 3 minutes. Rosalina and Greninja were nearly that long. It's a little on the big side, but nothing abnormal. For all we know Shulk will have a really unique mechanic they want to show off.

If Shulk has some special mechanic it's probably going to be his visions. I'm really interested in seeing how they'd make that work though. It's too important of a gameplay mechanic to drop entirely but it runs the risk of being incredibly broken.

Do like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle did with Diavolo and King Crimson and turn it into Auto-Block/Dodge

In Xenoblade gameplay stopped and you were given a chance to counter whatever the enemy was going to do. That doesn't really work for a multiplayer game and they'd have to make some way of restricting it so Shulk can't just permanently auto dodge. Maybe they could have it be part of a final smash or something.

[up]Same although this had something to do with it too.
