Maybe in the next Metroid game there can be some Samus/Ridley hybrid they can put into Smash.
Holy fuck. That is so badass.
How about they just use those proportions and make a new ridley design. damn that looks dope.

He was only huge in Brawl, He was large in melee and a small background sprite in 64.
Also, despite the Other M design being awful, it's easily the most scalable version of the character so far and that's the one we're getting, whether it be playable or not.
Sakurai shouldn't be allowed to make claims about sm4sh being the number 1 character game if the most wanted fan character isn't in the game!

Still don't getting the 3DS limitations excuse. Isn't it more powerful than the Gamecube in most areas? What interview was that comment from?
I don't believe anything out of anyone except for the pictures and video. It's clear that the 4chan dude is trying to string people along. He's a 4chan dude.
The most you can really do is hope for there to be 5 more characters to fill out those spots, DLC or not. Who they are? Who knows. But if you honestly believe that 5 highly-desired, pipe dream fan favorite characters are all conveniently the ones that aren't shown, then, well
Well it's a good thing smash 4 isn't coming out on the gamecube?
It does Rosa and Luma aswell as Dog and Duck, so why not?

Ridley being a space pirate commander would make so much more sense if he was something like this.

Well the 3DS version looks fine but it looks like it should be able to handle the Ice Climbers. Rosalina & Luma are both independent from each other. Maybe it's just me though

Just thought; what does the ('Ω' form) mean in the POTD after the Gerudo Valley mention?

Final Destination stage, I believe.
It depends on what BJ's neutral B is. I think he'll take on the cars face.

Final Destination. If you check in the top left corner you'll see that they're playing For Glory mode.
Ridley's back story never made any sense to me.
Space Pirate: Commander Ridley, there is a Federation assault on our weapons cargo frigate!
Ridley:GWAAAAAAAARGH
Space Pirate: Yes sir, right away.
Ridley can talk ya know... And is insanely smart
Luma's AI is far below what Nana's is.
If Ice Climbers aren't in the game, I think it's pretty safe to say it's because of the 3DS version and the fact that Sakurai wants roster parity rather than just giving the WiiU version more characters.
He has some machinery implanted into the base of his skull that lets him give out orders via telepathy.

There's languages in our very human species that sound like someone is just bellowing up their breakfast. I don't doubt that what sounds like screeches and roars to us might be words in Space Piratian. Like maybe instead of screaming at Samus to intimidate her, he's pleading for mercy.
Plus, he can talk anyway. And he's not dumb either.
We've never seen Ridley issuing commands. Just because he never tries to talk to Samus doesn't mean he can't speak a language.
oh Jesus Christ I hope that nickname doesn't become widespread
I can already picture my stupid ass drunk friends having a field day with that >_>

Imo Jr. would be a better shorthand anyway.
What's wrong with BJ? I hear it's a decent store.

What, with a reptile?.....
It's most likely just ignorance
Everyone always says this, and they may have scribbled down this fact in a manual or some non-canon manga, but in the games he is a giant angry space dragon. I want a game series where you play as Ridley managing the space pirates. He has to discuss strategy, balance the budget, manage rations, talk to disgruntled pirates etc.

Good PoTD update in spite of the leak.
I look forward to spectator mode.
I look forward to spectator mode.
The Brawl theme is made by Nobuo Uematsu, it will be hard to get anything better than that!

But how? Are there space pirate scientists? Most of them are foot soldier grunts. If there are scientists employed by the space pirates, you still have to give them ample funding to help their Metroid cloning research. What if another organization offers a better benefit package? How is Ridley going to compete with his non-stable income? He could capture them and force them to do it, but that would lower morale and have a negative affect on their research. To get more money, they would have to raid other people, but that takes planning, coordinating, time, money, and manpower. It is a huge logistical undertaking. We need a game filling in these gaps and showing us Ridley's efficient and productive management skills.
Dude, I can't wait for that new thread smell, the nice new shiny packaging, and the fresh salty flavor!
I could shoot off a score of composers I'd consider stronger than Uematsu.
Not to disparage him, since he's certainly one of the greats (although I wouldn't qualify Brawl's theme as a particularly notable work of his), but still.

Ridley is a scientist. He's built the robot Ridley at the end of Zero Mission himself, just to show the other Space Pirates how awesome he is. Not even kidding.

As much as the Brawl theme excited me in the pre-release days, looking back it comes off as overserious and ill-fitting for the game, as well as just really corny -- Latin chanting, really? Maybe I've just seen too much Lacrimosa over fight scenes and have developed a reflex against that or something.
The new theme, though, as somebody pointed out before sounds like something out of Monday Night Football, with fanfare to get you pumped up for an exciting match. Completely blows Brawl's out of the water in my opinion.
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
A Duck Hunt Dog or Shulk trailer with Ice Climbers or Wolf would make things interesting.
The Space Pirates we see actually issuing commands, like the Omega Pirate in Prime 1, just seem to roar inarticulately as well, so they seem to be able to understand it, at least.
Maybe Space Pirate society is different from what we, what can broadly be called western society, are used to? Different moral and social standards? Talking about benefit package or sources of stable income, we just as well may apply that to our very own Earthen pirates. Why don't they just move to America/Europe, right? Maybe Space Federation is racist. Maybe Space Pirates are used to that kind of life, ingrained form birth into that form of social structure. Maybe they simply have family on their beloved acid-ridden worlds that they don't want to leave behind in search of superior living standards.
Lower morale? We're talking about species which has no problem with experimenting on live organisms, infusing other members of their kind with dangerous biological weapons and operating on living beings (per Metroid Prime). That's a far cry from our society, which as of now is being more and more averse to experiments on any living beings, let alone other humans.
Or maybe it's just a sci-fi setting which we should not overanalyze and just accept that Ridley is for whatever reason a master tactician and brilliant scientist that led his kind on a path of conquest until chozo superweapon Samus Aran stood in his path. Their modus operandi is simply developing better weapons to improve their ability to conquer and destroy. Let's no get too deep into the rabbit hole, or next thing you know we're discussing intricacies of Mario lore.

A confirmation of any character not in the leak would make things interesting.
I said it before, but I really think that would be the best way to stay ahead of the story leading up to the game's release. Show the Ice Climbers, and watch everyone go berserk.

Guys I've seen this mock-up for the 3ds version on the smashboard and I find it perfectly coherent with the 3ds screen:
And Link in the 4th place, just as expected
If there really is anything more to the final game, content-wise, I agree that some part of it should be shown immediately, even a single character or stage would help. Otherwise, it'll become clear there really is nothing left...
It was in Brawl so it probably'll come over.
