Characters who will NOT be playable in Smash Bros.

[Magikrazy]

Still too big.

So Bowser is too big?

Look, I just don't think Ridley fits into the game! He's cool, but will probally be an Assist Trophy at the most. And Bowser is much smaller then Ridley in the games he is in. (Except Mario Galaxy.)

 

[New Super Mario]

Ridley's size varies just like Bowser's does too.

In one of the games he was only a bit bigger than Samus.

hope you realize that ridley has been the same size of samus once(metroid 1) and also one of the smallest bosses in the game of super metroid.

Infact ridley just seems to switch sizes very often, i think the 3d games are like the only games where he is honestly that big as seen in prime.

Much like bowser, who seems to grow into various sizes throughout the franchise.

I mean we got bowser at a good size so why not ridley?

Ridley is probally going to be a Stage Hazard, anyway.

To me, there's no reason not to include Ridley.

Think about it. Metroid is one of the biggest and most popular Nintendo franchises. Yet somehow, it only had one rep up until Brawl. Even then, ZSS wasn't her on character on the select screen.

So add another Metroid character! Ridley makes the most sense. He's an iconic villain and is very popular. Besides, who else would you put in for Metroid representation? Anthony Higgs?

they should obviously add kraid.

And to think that Nintendo trolled us badly when they revealed Melee at the E3 in 2001 by showing Ridley fighting Samus in the intro. That was so epic. Ridley should really be playable.

size comparison of samus, ridley, and kraid in the original metroid

and then super metroid

 

[Zae]

man the super metroid comparison seems like kraid is banging ridley

I like how you're shown evidence that Ridley can be scaled down and adjusted to meet the standards of size in SSB, similar to how Olimar, who's usually the size of a quarter, is scaled up to be playable, but you still go "Nope! Still too big because reasons".
