Far-Fetched Suggestions for the next SSB Game...

I also think Bowser is a cartoon character who is able to take liberties in his size without sacrificing his character. Ridley doesn't have that sort of flexibility. If Ridley shrinks, it'll compromise on his personality. I've seen Ridley mods, which were fine and dandy, but Ridley is usually huge and takes up a lot of space. He's just better as a boss, in my opinion. I think Sakurai's exclusion of Ridley is a good call unless they can craft a moveset that fits for giant characters without making them suck or overpowered.

Last time I checked, Bowser wasn't riding a Koopa Clown Car.

So? Would you rather me use Ganon from LttP?

point is your image and argument holds no ground since you made bowser much smaller in ridley without the clown car. Also in lttp ganon is much smaller then ridley in super metroid, honestly if you were to use a good ridley comparison you would have used metroid 1 instead.

I was originally gonna do that, only problem is I can't get to Ridley...

They did it with , Charizard, , and to an extent,

Peach getting this alternate costume.

Peach becoming Pink Gold Peach upon using a Metal Box.

I know these can be achieved with mods, but I would still like them to be done without them.

Sepiroth becoming a playable character.

No, they didn't at all.

Bowser is typically not much taller than Mario, same with Donkey Kong, same with Wario.

Sepiroth becoming a playable character.

Kefka becoming a playable character.

Something I'd like to see implemented in future installments is giving each character a unique victory theme. This video is full of good suggestions.

Just something to add variety.

Smash 4's file layout makes it possible to do it. Every character gets a unique victory theme, and what you're hearing is actually copies of them, but they're technically separate files, not shared like in Brawl.

What I like is to make each fanfare full-length songs too.

Forgive my limited programming knowledge but this sounds inefficient. It may be minimal but creating duplicate files would take up space, wouldn't it? Maybe they planned for unique themes at one point but that plan fell through.
