Seriously though, the "how much bigger are they" comment really is suspicious.

Holy crap that is a freaky coincidence. Either Sakurai himself reads gaf and enjoys laughing at us, a Nintendo employee reads gaf and they teamed up with him to laugh at us, or fate is a bitch and enjoys laughing at us.

Not Ridley big, like these guys.

Since the pic of the day is boring (if hilarious), I threw together a quick idea of what I think Ridley's ideal size and proportions would look like, blatantly stealing some of the assets from the drawn size idea on the last page, as well as some images taken from the Metroid Wiki.
This way, Ridley is relatively small on the ground, but still bulky and imposing, but in the air he really shines. And, obviously, his wings and tail wouldn't be included in his hitbox unless he was currently using them for attacks.

GAF talks about Ridley every two days. It's just a coincidence.

Well they are the only ones so far. He can't just give it away, can he?

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Sakurai was afraid to show favoritism to his series I believe...and then changed his mind in Brawl and made EVERYTHING Kirby.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of elements borrowed from Uprising this time around.

Not saving the big guy group shot for K. Rool?
Dixie's getting in anyway
This is why I believe Palutena is in the game. It's obvious. Plus, she's another female character which we've lacked in the series.

I would main him just for the music.
If I recall correctly, he didn't get in Melee because Sakurai didn't want it to seem like he was over-representing his work.

K. I avoid browsing OTs this far in advance normally. I learned during the wait for KH2 in high school that anticipating a game for too long makes me dumb.

Ridley is the Technodrome.
Mario is bigger than all of themwhen he up taunts.and ridley
lol good point.
But he was my favorite character in Smash 64!
haha
Which in hindsight is funny since the mario series and sub series still has the most characters. Heck mario even had his own

Yes, but how big is it compared to Mario's update?
I've played punch-out wii and it's not immediately obvious.
It's actually secretly a new animal crossing stage anyway.
Ooh, I really like the franchise icons there! I'd consider doing that with mine but I don't know what I'd do about some of the new franchises like Punch-Out!! and Xenoblade Chronicles and such.
I added Dixie Kong and rearranged everything to match my original layout -- the "core four" are in the center, and the third-parties are in the corners. Since each new Smash Bros. game has a radically different character layout, I figured my previous design was too similar to Melee with the series arranged horizontally.
I made some adjustments to the scaling of the unconfirmed characters in my roster, and now I think this is the final form visually (for real this time, I'm satisfied, lol), so now I'm just waiting on the next character confirmation.

It is also immediately obvious that the Smash stage doesn't look like that.

I've always held close to my heart the theory that Bowser was upgraded so he wouldn't be too much like the incoming Ridley. The hunched Bowser we knew will now be incorporated into Ridley's design!
Come on Sakurai prove the believers right! I know you hear my prayers! You hear everything!

Well, two things here.
One, the ring in Punch-Out has never been memorable in its own right, since the focus is always squarely on the boxers.
Two, why would there be a generic ring?
I think you might have missed something...
Yes, so I would expect them to put something iconic from the series in, like the ref, challenger boxers outside of the ring, etc.
I don't know, why do we have generic battlefield and final destination?

... Was Dedede always that much bigger than Mario? I feel like unless it's just the angle they've fucked around with character scales a bit more in this one.

Aren't you saying that the stage is "generic" enough that it could look like any ring from a Nintendo game?
So Smash for will be the first Smash game with more than two Smash Universe stages?

What's in the background? Looks kinda like a huge ridley.
It was a joke. It does bear resemblances to the punch out ring. I'm just skeptical that they would tease like that.
You're right, it's simply to ridiculous to even entertain the thought.
