Yeah, it says on the site that "You cannot use custom parts when playing With Anyone online. Please use these when playing With Friends."

Ah, good. I'd hate to have no way to use custom specials in matches with friends.

With friends, you can communicate beforehand what customizations have been made if you want. Prohibiting them with anyone would help remove an unpredictability/frustration element.

Speaking of online restrictions, I seem to be one of the few who likes the fact that Miis aren't usable with just anyone. I'm guessing the majority of people don't mind fighting Hitlers or penises? Because if not for that restriction, it would be Mario Kart Wii all over again.

There's also the fact that, unlike even Palutena, I don't think Sakurai wants any one style or special set to be definitive compared to the rest.

I sure said that!

I hope the competitive community allows custom moves. I like seeing that sort of variety.

I'm guessing custom specials will be accepted but custom equipment won't be.

Balancing all the possible unique movesets would be tough so there could be some fairly broken combinations. I have a feeling contests will prohibit them.

Yeah, they can ban broken move combos, that's fine.

We have yet to see and unlock all the custom moves, so it'll be determined with practice more than just on a whim.

Not counting some Tourney Owners who'll inevitably ban them without testing.

To note, the Mii Fighters, due to this, are the only likely ones to be banned period if this happens. But only because the rest of the characters have default moves. Palutena does still have a default set. She just has customs that aren't "similar animation, slightly varied move" like others. All 12 of hers are unique.

I don't think we'll see any regular "too broken" bans beyond some custom moves at best, but the competitive game has yet to really start, so who knows.

I don't get the "Miis don't have a default" thing.

Surely, there must be a setup you'll get if you don't mess with any move settings, yes? I can't imagine their moves would be initialy set to nothing.

They're apparently randomized. Which I find weird, since how on earth do you "unlock" their moves in the Smash Run? My theory is that they're all unlocked by default unlike the rest of them. Palutena does have 4 defaults, so that's unnecessary.

No, no. Ridley is the definition of big. I would say you'd find his picture in the dictionary if you looked it up but it was too big so it was cut.

Ridley is bigger than Jesus.

That's right, Ridley's sprite is larger than the entire history of Christian religious imagery combined.

There's a picture I really want to like post right now. It's the one that does the whole "scale of the universe" thing starting with our galaxy and moving on to the largest known stars before ending in one of Ridley's claws.

Sadly, I can't find it.

I think it was already posted. It's probably for the best, Ridley's too big for one thread to accurately replicate his size more than once.

This whole Ridley thing really has been blown out of proportion. Its been made into such a big deal that a sizable amount of this thread has been largely dedicated to the joke. We should be better at accuately sizing up the particulars of characters, but instead we're stuck on this collossal waste of time.

Ginormous.
