Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut

Prime?

Do you see Meta-Ridley in that picture?

Oh please, it's the same Ridley. If the original Metroid/Super Metroid Ridley appeared in a 3D game he wouldn't be flying around in the fetal position.

Hell, he already was more 'open' flying around in Brawl:

Wow, some characters are slightly bigger than others. What news.

Which one?
You're trivializing the issue. Bowser already pushes the limits for character size (as the largest character, he actually doesn't fit on Battlefield, although just barely). By this estimate, Ridley takes up significantly more spece than Bowser. It wouldn't work.

There is no limit for character size beyond having to be grab-able. Generally, a large hitbox is a disadvantage, so the worst you risk is an underpowered character.

Ever played MvC2? Ridley has a lot of Sentinel-like traits.

MvC2 is not a Smash Bros game. The main difference is that Smash is platform-focused, among other things. This is what I meant by saying that Ridley would be too big for the stage. This is a problem that Sentinel doesn't have, because his stage has no boundaries other than eventual left and right ones. That's a poor argument.

The first part is also completely made up.
 
Subject Change.

So Giga Bowser. Remain as Final Smash or we go back to epic scary bonus boss?

Gonna be honest Giga Bowser in Brawl was underwhelming. You took too much damage, got framelocked while taking said damage and elemental effects to attacks while cool weren't always that effective IMO.

Thoughts?

Change. Giga Bowser was a terrible final smash and it had nothing to do with the actual Mario games. Give him his Koopa Clown Car or an airship or something.

it's an analogy for how Ridley could play, not a 1-to-1 representation.

Your platform focus comment is silly. Different characters have advantages on different type of terrain, like how Little Mac gets castrated by platforms thanks to his horrid aerial game. Perhaps Ridley has platforms as a weakness and prefers open space, or vice-versa.

Not to mention Bowser fits comfortably on any platform so far.

The first part is also completely made up.
???

There is no magic limit for character size, at least none we've reached. Before Brawl, no character was near as big as Brawl Bowser; was Brawl Bowser over this magic limit? Well what about Bowser but 10% bigger? Is that suddenly too much?

People need to realize that creativity and character design are not limited to what we already have. Without trying out new things, we'd never have cast members like Ice Climbers, Rosalina, and Sheik.

I thought it was an incredible piece of fanservice and I don't think anything in the Mario game is comparable to it. No reason to change it.

Giga Bowser is one of the better ideas for a final smash and it's a hit with the kiddies. Just make Giga better and things will be fixed.

There is. Bowser should eat a Grand Star to become bigger or become bigger on his own and not turn into a deformed freak. So basically, a giant Bowser.

You obviously completely made the grabbing limit up, because as you said there is none that we know. That doesn't mean that there isn't a size limit however. You made up your own rule. By your same logic, they could make an ungrabbable character if they really wanted to. We really have no idea what the limit is. So let's just throw that comment out, it adds nothing.

The problem isn't that Ridley would be at a disadvantage or anything like that, the problem is that he would completely destroy stage design. You don't seem to understand the point. On Battlefield, for example, Ridley would constantly be clipping significantly through a platform no matter where he stood. In places like Palutena's temple, he wouldn't be able to get through doorways. That's the problem, his size is significant enough relative to other characters that you would have to redesign stages around him. This is why you were trivilizing the issue when you seemed to imply that being a different size was only a minor problem. It's not.

Of course, I'm sure Sakurai could design all of the stages to accomodate Ridley if he really wanted to. Bowser already slightly has this problem, as I mentioned. My point is that based in the relative sizes in that sketch, I think Ridley looks too big to be accommodated by the stages we've seen. Bowsers already pushing it, I think Ridley would push it over the edge based on those shadow sizes.

I would welcome Dreamy Bowser. I think he looks aesthetically more awesome then Giga or Giant Bowser.

But I guess I would just want more costume changes aka separate models for each character.
 
You'd think him getting almost deconfirmed would let up the discussion.

Chalk it up to the desperate delusions of his supporters (not necessarily you).

Pretty boring idea if you ask me; that'd be just him souped up on Super Mushrooms.

It's fucking Giga Bowser, what's not to like?
 
I'm ok with GigaBowser. What we need is Giga Ganon!

A playable Ridley could possibly be great in the air but sluggish on ground, like people have suggested in the past. The opposite Mac in every way.

Grabbing part is pretty much required to let someone play like a Smash character. If a character is too small or too large to get grabbed, they're missing out on a large part of the game.

That doesn't mean that there isn't a size limit however. You made up your own rule. By your same logic, they could make an ungrabbable character if they really wanted to. We really have no idea what the limit is. So let's just throw that comment out, it adds nothing.
They could make an ungrabbable character. I just think it's a bad idea because grabs are actually an important part of combat.

Of course if you throw bigger-than-Bowser characters into Smash 4 as is, it won't work well. If you throw Little Mac into Brawl's engine, he won't work well. You design a game as a whole.

Although it seems like we're arguing different things. I'm arguing a larger-than-Bowser Ridley could work in Smash Bris in general, you're talking about Ridley speculation for Smash 4.

Oh don't worry, I've already consigned myself to the fact the roster will be shit.
 
It's fucking Giga Bowser, what's not to like?

The fact it's an original Smash Bros thing rather than something from the Mario games.

It's pretty annoying that Sakurai gave his baby Kirby a new final smash when his old one was already from Kirby games and yet Samus still has her zero laser (and I'm sure many others will have their old ones too).

DeDeDe better get a new one. Masked DeDeDe mode would be preferable. Minion rain is fun and stuff but eh.

I'd love a masked Dedede costume.

Yeah, but Giga Bowser is actually cool. Zero Laser is just boring Shinkyu Hadouken bullshit.

Megaman gets five of those at the same time in his.

Basically searching that plus something else at the end may or may not link you to the main site.

If you search veterans or stuff that was in brawl you get brawl links, Robin leads to the main site too, but the spanish one. Metwo's first result is the greninja page.

Don't think it means anything cause of some of the weird stuff like searching Ridley taking you to Wii Fit Trainer's as the second result, buts interesting to see what you get.

Been hoping for a Masked Dedede FS.

*shrug*

It references one of the most classic moments in Melee and I thought it was fun as shit to play as. I doubt something like the Koopa Clown Car will generate the same level of excitement and joy of control.

And it's not like he's just changing the Kirby characters, don't forget Luigi is getting the Poltergust this time for his FS.

We're trying to force a Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 style leak now? I think Nintendo's better at HTML collectively than Capcom interns though. :P

Heh not really, just had some fun looking around. The results are weird, Isaac's only result is Marth's Wii U page for example.
It obviously doesn't mean anything, but I am curious and the results are interesting to see.
 
You know what'd be really funny? If there was an orange and black striped cat throwing baseballs. Only the baseballs are invisible because he's a magic car. And you have to hit 28 of them. TWENTY-EIGHT.
tried it for captain syrup also lol
:(
That's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Syrup used to be so popular back during Brawl... What happened?
