Description
Ridley, one of the most controversial and most wanted newcomers.

I won't cover the pro-Ridley arguments, as they are far too numerous. He is the most necessary character. Metroid needs it's villain and there is no one more fitting of that title than Ridley.

He is the only important character left from the Metroid series. Murder of Samus's parents and her eternal enemy. He always showing up to disrupt her missions, dying and being reborn over and over again.

The most common argument against his inclusion is "lol he's too big". He is not too big. The "too big" meme started in the pre-Brawl days and it's still going today in most SSB communities.

I changed his proportions in the picture just to prove one point. Bowser's Brawl design was completely new at the time. It was similar to his design from Mario Galaxy1, but not exact. Sheik's design was also made from scratch. This could hold true for Ridley. If his proportions bug you, maybe Sakurai will just tweak those proportions a bit?
Like so, smaller wings and tail. Looking closer to his sprite-versions. His wings would expand as he jumped, not too large, but large enough that they might look right for his size. The tail would be kinda small during passive poses, but when attacking with the tail, it would extend out, then retract to this size after the animation.

I'm sure that no one in their right mind thinks that he simply cannot be playable, because of his size. I refuse to believe that someone could use a computer, yet be that retarded. I instead choose to believe that those who claim that he is too big, are simply repeating said meme for lulz. Works out best for everyone involved.

Take note that any comment preaching the "Too Big" meme will be hidden.

Feel free to discuss any other pros/cons though.
