New metroid characters

i know they should have some new ones, but who? (i dont know much about metroid though)

quote Swampasaur

Anthony maybe?

Who was Anthony?

Oh, right. He's awesome. And adds to the list of black people who should be in Smash Bros, along with Doc Louis, who should totally appear on a Punchout stage, and... I can't think of any others for Nintendo...

Probably Arabic.



Oooh, I thought of one.

Ridley is the most likely choice,after him comes probably dark samus,as she is the main antagonist of two(or actually three)games and the metroid series doesn't have that many recurring characters(the only other ones are motherbrain who is even bigger than ridley and never had a fitting size and kraid who is even bigger than motherbrain and even if you count his size from the original,he is too unimportant anyway)

Adam malkovich kind of appears in two games too,even though he was just a computer in one game.
However he and dark samus face one problem:They are dead and even games that chronological play before their deaths are almost impossible.Sure adam lives on as a computer(or more like he was replicated as a computer) and other villains like ganondorf and so on won't stay dead,but it looked like there was no way for dark samus to return.

Otherwise we have sylux and anthony,but both appeared in only one game,so I think they have only a chance if they are planned to make an appearance in a future game.

I would prefer Ridley over anyone else. He also seems to be the most likely because he is a villain.

How about Kraid?

Just downsize him to a Bowser sized Kraid.

His final smash gets real big and eats one of opponents.

There are two major problems with kraid:
1.He is even bigger than ridley,ridleys size is already a reason for many to doubt him,but ridley is tiny compared to kraid,sure he had an acceptable size in the original metroid,but there is also the problem with the 2nd reason:
2.He is just too unimportant.He is a boss in two games(three if you count zero mission),he isn't involved in the story at all and is less important than ridley in every aspect.

quote GaTheZakk

Then what about Mother Brain?

Thats right the original final boss of Metriod.

Although I think she appears in that Brinstar stage from Melee, I'm not sure.

no that is something else,mother brain doesn't look like this and never appeared in brinstar(I also thought it would be motherbrain when I first saw the stage)

And no,I doubt Motherbrain will appear,she doesn't appear as often as ridley and only her form from Super metroid can really fight(there is a mother-brain duplicate in other m,but it isn't iconic enough and has barely anything in common with the original) and her form from supermetroid is so big,that even ridley looks tiny compared to her.

She would however make a good boss
