Hmm yeah that can work actually. I haven't played all of the Metroid games but I am familiar with some of his designs. Zero Mission seemed like one of the best.

This should be the starting point when discussing ways of making Ridley feasible in Smash. They could do more alterations but that model used in Melee is built like a larger Pit.

Larger pit? I don't see it.
Edit; I agree that, that is a good starting point as it is the superior super metroid design, just less janky.

Not really. As was said before; the reveal trailer and initial potd shots both were 2 pics a piece and we learned a ton about his moveset, plus a boxer is fairly straight forward. I would like full disclosure on his OHKO upper though

I'm just tuning in today so sorry if it seems like I'm missing some of the discussion... But Asian? Little Mac?
I can see Latino, African American, Indian, or even Middle Eastern, but he doesn't look Asian unless you include Phillippino or Japanese anime

Hasn't little Mac always supposed to have been american? They just gave him a tan in punch out! Wii
Yeah, see: http://punchout.wikia.com/wiki/Little_Mac
Filipino american
Asian role model? Japan doesn't give a fuck about Little Mac.

Assuming American is a race? =p
What do I know? I put down Japanese anime among races -_-
Also, Mac is one JACKED 17-year-old! According to the trivia section in the wiki, Mac is Italian-American, so jph139 gets the points

That's cheating since that ridley has no tail.

Yeah, the tail will be a definite issue but nothing sakurai and namco can't overcome
This is the part where I tell my ancient joke about everyone in Punch Out lining up to beat up a minor.

I have a question to hopefully generate some discussion up in here:
When Smash releases on either/both consoles, are you still going to take part in the SmashGaf thread in a similar amount as you do currently?
Aside from the obvious "Nope, I'll be playing the game!" answers, I'm wondering if you guys would be willing to risk the rest of everyone here spoil the game for you. One of the best parts of Smash Bros. to me has been playing the game willy-nilly and unlocking characters/stages/everything else randomly. I'd be a bit bummed out if I jumped into the thread the day the game(s) came out and accidentally read how to unlock Wolf, for example.
And yes... Wolf will return

Game like this, I honestly have zero problem with spoilers. If I could learn every character/stage/item now I would.
Has anyone ever made a joke about Little Mac in Punch-Out beating up minorities?

Right, but would you want to be told right away (if you could) on how to unlock it all?
It doesn't really matter because once you play like 500 matches, you basically unlock every single character anyway.
Stages on the other hand...
Oh just noticed who your avatar was. Good choice and since sakurai was poking fun at sizes, Probably little mac and rosalina.
Of course but I'll be too busy playing to post for the first frew days....then I comeback for some online action.
I regret finding out about everything Brawl had unlocked back in January 2008. Definitely will do my very best not to find out about anything I don't unlock myself once the game releases. May God help me if they don't make it a worldwide release.

I'd be bummed out about that haha. Some of my favourite memories have been unlocking Mewtwo in Melee (I had no idea he was even in the game, so when fought him and unlocked him I went into freakout mode) and getting the Luigi's Mansion stage in Brawl (not quite as exciting knowing that it existed, but no less satisfying once I had it!)
I enjoy unlocking things but if I'm particularly excited to try a new character or stage I'm gonna want to unlock it asap. So yeah I don't mind that either.
Honestly, I play as much as possible trying to figure everything out by myself. So I'll probably ignore the boards for the first day or so and then come back when either I've unlocked enough to not be spoiled or learn what I need to do for certain unlocks

With Little Mac playable, I really hope Glass Joe replaces him as an assist trophy. Everybody can just wail on him, and whoever knocks him out gets some sort of reward.
Right. I always thought this screenshot was a good representation of how Ridley should look/feel in Smash:

I'm used to just having characters and such to begin with in other games, so I'd be fine with it unless there was some kind of penalty. That said, I can't remember the last time I wasn't in some way spoiled about a game, so it might be cool to go in blind.
I say this like I'm going to be able to pull myself away from character announcements

On the fence. On one hand it always ends up being a pain in the ass unlocking my main Marth, so if he is a starter then whatever but on the other, I have fond memories of challengers approaching and not knowing what to expect.

I love unlocking things, especially characters, so I definitely hope they don't pull the whole "everyone is unlocked from the start" thing that a lot of fighters do nowadays.
On the other hand, though, I hope they have some kinda separate "tournament play" mode that automatically unlocks every character and stage just for that mode so that tourny organizers don't have to worry about it.
He can stay crouched down while on the ground, keeping him fairly small, hitbox-wise, and having more defensive attacks. In the air, on the other hand, he would spread himself out with a larger hitbox and huge attacks, making him dangerous but much easier to hit as well. It would be an interesting playstyle to be sure.

I feel like that is way too small for Ridley. They can make him fairly large without too much trouble just by making him pose more or less how he usually does.

This shop has always struck me as unacceptably small.
I'm pretty certain there will be unlockable characters. The whole "challenger is Approaching" thing is too much of a staple for them to remove that aspect of the game.
I'M FINISHED!
Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
Ridley is Dragon American.
Little Mac is Burger American.

You could maybe bump him up a tad, but I like the form and sense of movement/personality. Wings are a good size, especially if they're folded aside from the occasional flap or burst of speed, the body gives a good, recognizable hitbox, tail is thin enough to not be confused as being part of the hitbox, etc.
Most importantly, I think it's clear that he looks and feels viable in the context of a Smash fight. I don't think size is an issue.

What? It's only been three or four years since the last Metroid game.

Oh my god I always thought that was a shoe. It's the baby canister.
Wtf young me.
Do you honestly think anything is on the horizon?
Metroid is joining the ranks of Star Fox and F-Zero. I'd love to be wrong but there aren't many reasons to believe otherwise.

Prime Trilogy came out only five years ago, and Fusion was recently confirmed as being a headliner for the Wii U GBA VC. To declare Metroid dead is a bit premature, don't you think?

"If I was making SSB (and I hope to do that one day), I'd jam pack it with as much as the game could hold. 60+ characters, 50+ AT, all stages from 64 - Wii U and the games after it, and almost 2000 trophies spanning ALL of Nintendo's gaming history leaving no stone unturned. I would make it the greatest SSB of all.
EDIT: And costumes for each character."
