reminder that Olimar is 3 cm tall

Then there's also the fact that Ridley would be like another Charizard, just with more tail attacks. And screeching.

reminder that Olimar had never appeared in Smash Bros. (aside from being a trophy) before and as such didn't already have his size in the series defined

they already showed ridley being f*** in-game, they're not going to make him smaller now

in addition to that

they could say mario is actually 20000 feet tall and he lives in a giant world and it wouldn't affect anything

in his games olimar looked like a short little dude so in smash he's a short little dude

in his games ridley looks huge so in smash he's going to have to be huge, which he was

i hope nintendo kills King Dedede from smash games
i just...hate him

I don't think any kirby reps will be excluded.
HAL labotary owns a major part of SSB series, in fact, it was their idea to make a smash game in the first place

reposting for renewed relevance

I want Ridley to be in but I also acknowledge that some people don't like the shortened version and I think that time will tell

but the "smash canon" argument is so unbelievably stupid I can't even handle it


You shut your mouth this instant

But if they put Ridley in there, Bowser wont be the biggest character anymore...

Ridley would be punishable as hell

you cant put him next to bowser and be like see he's not that big
bowser is one of the largest character's and in that screenshot ridley still f*** dwarfs him even if you don't include his wingspan
so it really proves nothing

smash bros. having canon ahaha nerds argue about the dumbest s***

Arguing against Ridley because of his canon size is just stupid.

It's a trophy of Ridley, not the actual thing. I mean you know how inaccurate products of actual IPs can get.


Ridley's size shouldn't really be a major thing against him. I mean they can just change his size if needed. It's happened with Bowser multiple times (SM64, SMS, SMG, etc.).

Smash isn't canon to anything so it really shouldn't matter.

Yeah but they havent really changed his size within the same series before, those Mario games are all standalone, and not directly related to each other. Bowser's size for instance doesnt change in size between Galaxy and 2, nor does it change between the NSMB games. Ridley's size has already appeared in Brawl as a boss, it wouldnt make much sense to shrink him down to make him playable, and leaving him the same size would make him too big. Giga Bowser stayed the same size from Melee to Brawl but he's not fully playable so...

Oh well, this argument is indeed stupid. I would rather see Ridley stay as a boss, since thats what he does best. Its already weird that Giga Bowser was made playable. Besides, if he's removed as a boss, who are they gonna replace him with? They still need bosses for the game, unless they actually have only original ones this time around, which i doubt, since this series is supposed to be a nod to Nintendo games. If they make Ridley playable, thats one less boss they can use for single player modes. Notice how Giga Bowser is no longer a boss.

Nintendo has tons of other characters to use as bosses, Kraid could even replace Ridley as a boss if Ridley was to become playable. There isn't a need to worry about not having enough characters to be bosses or enemies, they have more than enough to work with.

Ridley stayed as a boss I guess, because Sakurai prefers him to be a boss in Smash Bros.
