Well that's that. It just felt as though stage announcement threads were never really a thing here on GAF. Good to know!

I know what you're talking about, but I actually thought the fight itself was pretty cool, and the music is definitely one of the best Ridley remixes.

how about a Koopa Troopa? He's more iconic than everybody that ever was in MegaMan combined.
it's not a collection of videogame history, it's a collection of everything nintendo.
How about... Just never playing on that stage when applicable.
...A generic Mario enemy, seriously? Might as well thrown in Goombas, Boos and Thwomps.
Huh, I can't see it (Unless you mean the lighter spot, but I'm not sure that's a beak and not just part of the stage). Do you have a pic with the exposure turned up? His eyes definitely aren't there, since they're green in Other M.
I'm not actually sure, but definitive statements are more fun!
This sounds fine to me. In each 'Smash Weekly' you can link to the previous weekly threads and the main thread. The only potential problem is that discussion might be a bit split between the weekly threads and the main thread, however it solves the problem of relaying the information to people who are not subscribed to your thread.

Marty: What, is there something wrong with my Other M art direction in the future or something?
Doc: No Marty!! It's your script!! Something has to be done about your writting!!

I'd argue that Mega Man Classic is more Nintendo than Wii Fit or Other M.
Wouldn't be surprised if more people bought a Wii for Wii Fit than people bought an NES for Megaman.
Bit silly to say a third party character is more Nintendo than Wii Fit just because you're not a fan of the game.

The people who bought Wii Fit aren't the kind of people who are going to buy Smash Bros. Or video games in general.

Wii Fit is extremely important to modern Nintendo and i never said that every character needs to be important, there are also many fun smaller characters left. thousands of good suggestion, i don't need or want third party characters.
Koopa is not generic he's an important part of the mario franchise and by far more recognizable than most of the cast.
I'm sure they will
for their children
If your argument is that Megaman is more of a videogame than Wii Fit thus it is more "Nintendo" I guess you'd argue this isn't Nintendo:
Which would be beyond silly.

I liked it better than any of Ridley's appearances in the Prime games and I liked each one of those way better than Other M.
You are a bad man.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
This is where you had that awesome fight with Ridley right? sweet

My favorite part of Smash Bros. threads is people arguing whether something "deserves" a space or whether or not it's "Nintendo" enough.
Wait wrath of the reset bomb is in!? Bleh.
Why couldn't they use one of the
aurum
EDIT: If I am not mistaken, this is the metroid stage they used in DoAD, correct?

As in "Heathcliff"
It's possible that the problem might happened but we need to add couple of rules that discussion for weekly thread will be only for 5 images/comments of this week and the past informations are welcome as well. New information are not welcome until new weekly thread has created, so that way weekly thread wouldn't become too much like main thread and main thread wouldn't lose it's purpose. It's possible that it could backfired on us.
As he should be since Boss battles might be gone.
I highly doubt that boss battles are gone, but I can see Ridley sitting out this time around. He already got two boss battles in Brawl, a third one would feel redundant.
I'm fine with him as either a playable character or a stage hazard.
What are these Prime games you speak of? Everyone knows that Metroid games are only made in glorious Nippon.
I certainly hope they aren't gone but with Subspace being cut they might go as well since they were a big part of Subspace.

People are really salty that someone made a thread about this.
I think its relevant because they are adopting the Other M version of Metroid.
Terrible idea in my opinion.

Did banning for questioning thread worth stop being in vogue or something?
Man, the hate for Other M is insane. The game was mediocre, but the amount of vitriol people are expressing just for referencing it is crazy. The problems with Other M, the bad writing, the long monologues, the mediocre plot, the boring level design; they have no part in Smash.
Truthfully, if Samus is as agile and powerful in Smash as she was represented in Other M she'd be a better character to play as. The Ridley fight itself was totally badass.
Also, this stage is by far the best-looking Metroid stage so far in Smash. Brawl's stages were especially disappointing. Norfair was just generic platforms floating in front of a nice background with a really annoying stage hazard and Orpheon was generic platforms floating in front of a background that didn't properly represent Prime. This Pyrosphere stage looks really good and much more care has been put into properly theming it. The main platform is actually part of the level.
I wish other stages had as much care put into them. The Skyward Sword stage is especially disappointing.

LOL, incredible. They could throw some chozo statues and it would look prime 1.
No one is forcing you to play Other M as a prerequisite.
Uh, you do realize we're talking about a stage, right? Other M's boring level design (And Sakurai's baffling obsession with lava in Metroid stages) means that we got a boring-ass stage.
Yes, it looks more realistic than a floating platform over lava, but it's still just another Metroid stage with a platform over lava.

Hey, don't forget the bland as shit environment designs and terrible, terrible character/creature designs, which do have some impact on Smash.

You know it's just a stage, right? It's not like you're being made to play Other M. So what if it's referencing a crappy game if the stage looks good and plays great? Give me a break.

Looks really cool, I'm not complaining. I didn't love Other M but the stage they're using from it looks nice at the very least.
Aye. A lot of people dislike/hate NSMB and Skyward Sword, but I don't think I ever saw this much of a negative reaction to stages from those games making it in.
I'll believe that when I play it for myself.

There are those that dislike NSMB and SS, but the hate Other M gets is on a whole other level.
Which is fair, because Other M is a much worse game than SS or any NSMB.
