Balloon Fighter walks Miles. Anyway, it's an aesthetics choice. Same reason Rayquaza or Spider Mech Porky were'nt playable. They are designed to be bosses and only bosses. I don't want to fight as a chibi Ridley. Plus, even with folded wings, the tail would make for a horribly disconfigured hitbox. Sakurai could make it work, but it wouldn't turn out the way one would hope. Would you want a tiny Ridley who's head can't even see over the bottom platform of Battlefield? It would be terribly embarrassing. I know that he wouldn't look too bad compared to, say, Samus or Bowser, but he'd only be like twice as tall as Pikachu, where normally he could swallow the rodent in one bite.[[User:SonicROBTrainer|SonicROBTrainer]] ([[User talk:SonicROBTrainer|talk]]) 00:10, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, why not have his final smash be somewhat similar to Captain Falcon's, with a combination of Ike's Great Aether move. The intro could be like Gannondorf's, the middle could be like Ike's, & the end could be like Captain Falcon's. Down Special could be his Tail Hop Move from Super Metriod, he could have his side special be an uppercut with his claw, and his neutral special would be fire barrage (take time to charge, of course). His upward special would be similar to Pit's, only it doesn't last as long. He is NOT too big, as his Meta Ridley form is the same size as his normal form, & if you played Metroid Fusion, you would have seen he is an equivalent to Bowser. His smashes could make use of his teeth, claws, & tail (ex: Up Smash: Wing Slam. Side Smash: Bite. Down Smash: Tail Spin). In my opinion, Ridley would be a great character. His attack combo: swipe, backhand, headbutt. His airel could be a flip, while his meteor strike could be a strong bite. His back airel could be a tail swing. His upward airel could be an upward lunge with his snout. His speed would be slow, with high traction, heavyweight, power, with small jumps. His jump amount would be that of Meta Knight's, and he would have slow attacks. To note: Ridley does touch the ground, as seen in Metroid Prime & Super Metroid, in the first and second battles he fades in standing on the ground. Other possible Final Smashes: Space Pirate Fleet, Meta Ridley (form), Omega Ridley (form), Metroid Swarm (attack) Mother Brain (attack) Kraid (attack) Meta Kraid (attack(He was going to be a boss in Metroid Prime)) Stage Crush (attack). Meta Ridley might even be a separate palette, just as Omega Ridley might. Instead of Fireballs, the Meta Ridley palette might spit rockets, while the Omega Ridley one might spit clumps of Phazon. BTW, you can call me ShamanMan64. Reply to this by editing this, then put a comment. Peace out, man.
