Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U Thread 5: Yarning for Yoshi

I really don't mind Other M's Ridley that much. His mouth/bill annoys me a little bit but other than that he isn't that bad. That stringy neck is more ridiculous. If Other M Ridley was in Super Metroid and they introduced stringy neck Ridley in Other M everyone would prefer the former making complaints like how is neck can even support his body, how you could snap his neck with little force, or how he could possibly eat anything or breathe fire with a neck that thin.

Ridley's neck gives him more character and keeps him from being too much of a generic dragon type character. Realism should be the absolute last thing on anyone's mind.

The big thing that bugs me about Other M's Ridley is that he looks more like a generic monster. Ridley has always had this look about him that made him look very alien, like he is, really. Other M makes him look less alien and more... spook from under the bed. He doesn't look like something that could harbor incredible intellect, instead just looking like something that would eat you just to eat you.

Plus I'm deeply afraid that if we get Other M Ridley he'll have some kind of gimmick focused on his "evolution" which brings in a far worse concept and far uglier designs.

so gross
 
Other Midley is on the roids.
 
Other M's Ridley design is a jumbled, awful mess that's seems like it's trying to be as extreme as possible, like something I would have doodled in a notebook during class in sixth grade. No Ridley period (playable or otherwise) would be better than that thing.

Zelda was announced without Sheik. Clearly Sheik has been cut.

Interestingly, Sheik was "revealed"/reconfirmed for Brawl almost half a year after Zelda's initial "reveal", but she was already confirmed by default when Sakurai listed Transform as Zelda's Down-B Special.
(Of course, I doubt that Sheik has been cut, but one never knows.)

The move listings on the Dojo weren't added until Sheik was revealed (the last default character revealed).

most people here seem to be on a take what you get basis. samus's design has been updated to match her other m design too so i imagine we would get other m ridley if anything at all

Then most size "debates" would and should die because it would technically be a "new" Ridley.

That form of logic seems to be a slippery slope in regards to the thread. Why stop at size? Why debate at all about character reveals/inclusions or anything at all related to the upcoming games if none of us here (assumedly) are or work with Sakurai and hence have no inflence in the decision-making process?

The size debates are a little stale, but still valid within the context of a forum like this. For all it's worth, we could have been arguing about Little Mac's size, and if it would be better if he really was so little, or maybe somewhere in the mid-range. In the end, he got revealed, and all possible discussion would have been moot save for the enjoyment of having it.

The Zelda characters were hardly changed at all from their TP-based appearance. They could probably shrug off having a non-OM Ridley.

That comment was related to my previous. I was saying those debates SHOULD end contingent upon a Ridley redesign.

The TP designs were likely kept for consistency between the Zelda characters. I don't see how that applies to Ridley keeping his old design at all--in fact, I would argue the opposite: that character consistency between franchises is something they are trying to keep, which would almost certainly guarantee Other M's terrible Ridley design.
 
ugh, Ridley part of the cycle again. With most of the suggested newcomers I don't have much of an opinion or fall into the "more characters is always a good thing" but Ridley is very unappealing to me. Maybe it's just from going through the smash cycle over and over that has me bitter about his inclusion. That, and he just seems redundant because he seems like he would play very similar to Charizard but that is probably me just being narrow minded. I usually try to just avoid the conversation when he comes up anyway but thought I would post my thoughts on the matter. Carry on

Oooh right, gotcha! My bad. If that is what ends up happening, I'd be stoked to see what the final design would be like - fingers crossed for some aspect of Meta-Ridley making it in

Ah, I didn't remember that! Good to know, though--thanks!
Nevertheless, the fact that Sheik was revealed quite a while after Zelda means that there's still a chance she hasn't been replaced.
 
The attack shown is his Side Tilt. Sakurai said that "this time, we've tried to focus on giving him more fluid/limber movements" (via Miiverse Japan).
 
I miss when the Brawl dojo page would update at regular intervals. Sometimes I'll pop in the minute a new character is announced, and other times I'll be 3 days behind.

Still, nice to see Diddy back.
 
Sakurai extra comment for PotD

We've increased Diddy Kong's flexibility this time. This picture shows how far his punches stretch during his strong side attack.
 
I genuinely didn't think a new/returning character would be announced so soon with Little Mac being shown a week ago. Really cool that he's back and he's by himself
