Aside from being dragons what do Ridley and Charizard have in common? Charizard's moves in Brawl were generally slow moving and strong, Ridley was a fast character.

I'm not only referring to Ridley, but also to other requests such as Falco, Dr Mario, Young Link, Roy or Bayonetta (people want Zero Suit Samus' move set on her).

Everything changes, Pit.

So there's a Tomodachi Collection level in the 3DS version of the game, something I assumed would just be a weird thing US and EU audiences would get to mess with but wouldn't know anything about(like Marth and Roy in Melee), except apparently Tomodachi Collection is being localized, as Tomodachi Life.

And the Nintendo Direct they just released for it is really weird

I wonder if the inclusion of it as a Smash Bros stage influenced the decision to localize it, or vice-versa?

They probably just need to pad out the 3DS release schedule a bit cause after a brilliant year and a half they've exhausted a lot of major releases.

I'd assume this isn't something they pulled out of their arse to pad out their schedule and more something that's part of a long term plan. The amount of stuff they would of had to translate/localize to release it internationally, especially that voice synthesizer whatever makes me think that they planned to localize it eventually regardless, and the Smash 4 stage is just icing on it's cake. And like, free advertising I guess.

This. I am actually of the opinion that the skin tight attire makes sense, since I imagine Zero Suit to be a "I just literally just now stepped out of the suit" Zero Suit. But they were like "Ok ZSS is coming back, what do we do? Bigger boobs and high heels? Give this man a promotion!"
I'm pretty fine with a skin tight-suit as well, but her body type does not make sense at all for what she does and has not made sense in anything except that badass super metroid manual pic that is going to get reposted every time this is brought up because it's the only drawing of her they've made that makes sense.

Ridley flies, shoots fireballs, stabs you with his tail and grabs you. He's not a very distinctive character except in being a reoccurring boss. It seems like making him a Stage Hazard like Yellow Devil (another reoccuring boss) actually fits him a lot better than trying to shoehorn him in as playable. I mean it wouldn't be impossible but it feels like you could capture what makes Ridley Ridley more as a boss or stage hazard than as a playable character.
We've already seen that Ridley's a stage hazard in the Nintendo Direct, so there's even less of a chance.

To be fair, it was only implied that he was a stage hazard. Not that I'd expect to see him in, but there's still a nonzero chance of that happening.

Where did the idea for Ridley not being too big for the game come from anyways? I mean he's always been portrayed as a huge goddamn space dragon except for on the NES Metroid because I'm pretty sure the NES would melt if it had to deal with anything that huge moving that fast.

And Olimar is smaller than an Ant, while Bowser was bigger than any known smash stage in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Clearly resizing a character isn't out of the question.

People need to stop making weird arbitrary rules or reasoning behind who will and won't get in. It's entirely on Samurai who makes the cut in the end.

I agree with you, but there are going to be pages upon pages of replies calling you an aspergers fool and talking about the relative size of Bowser and how Kirby is 6 inches. I've just always felt like Ridley was supposed to feel like a big dragon and would fit awkwardly if they sized him for Smash, but it's apparently subjective.

Because who gives a poo poo about how big he is in the games? Bowser is a different size every game, Olimar should be like the size of a penny to the other fighters. I don't care about Ridley being in Smash that much besides him being cool looking (I don't really like the Metroid games), but his size in the regular games shouldn't matter.

His walk could be that crawling around thing he does in the Primes, run can be the flying hover like Charizard manages.

The thing is, some people really want Ridley and some people (me included), think he gels awkwardly with the rest of the fighters and never really belonged in Smash. It's an aesthetic choice and we could go back and forth forever about why it makes sense to make Olimar the right size but not Ridley or why it doesn't even matter if they include him full-sized and he works in Project M, etc. etc. The reason it gets hashed out over and over again is because Ridley is probably among the most requested on wish lists and I think the reason he's the most requested has more to do with there being so few viable Metroid characters.

I don't really want Ridley or Waluigi and there are a lot of characters I would love to see before either of them. There's this tiny part of me that's so sick of seeing their names that I hope they include Waluigi riding on Ridley's back, but the only move is immediate suicide. Still, if they got in, I'd actually be glad for the people who wanted him in but happier still that the matter is finally loving put to rest.

I seem to have the exact same opinion that Bicyclops does. In that case, the requests for Ridley and Waluigi don't bother me, it's just old. I do ignore them, but it would be nicer to see more interesting character suggestions, such as Professor Layton. In fact, the request for Professor Layton caused me to check out his games, and they are pretty fun actually.

Come on, give it up already. Ridley won't be playable.

I've been reading some reactions on ZSS and they're really annoying. A lot of people complain that Samus wouldn't wear a skin-tight bodysuit to fight. No loving poo poo, that's why she wears the Varia Suit.

The best thing Metroid Prime 3 did was to have it so everyone wore a zero suit underneath the armor. Early in the game you walked past a lot of people in different colored form fitting zero suits and they looked just as stupid as Samus did. This doesn't make the design not awful or anything but I thought Retro's way of dealing with it was funny.

I hope I can still toss armor pieces at other people at the start of the game as ZSS at least. That's always good for a free kill!
