Sonic's rival should be a fun goofball and Mario's should be the gun toting edgelord.
So I just have this recurring thought about this jerk:
What if he could not normally jump, but he had a great up special that could basically be used as a makeshift jump of sorts? Like he gets shot out of a cannon or something and he is free to act out of it at any time.

Captain Toad would literally be the worst character in the game bar none if he really couldn't normally jump lol
Like Little Mac but even worse. Aerial combat is literally the bread and butter of Smash Bros.

Yeah this is roughly what I was thinking. Just straight up gimmicky nonsense.
The Piranha Plant grab made me think "when was this video made? before piranha plant got announced?"
And then I checked the date and it was from before Ultimate got fully revealed!

I could see it being an issue that you're balancing a third of the Trainer VS the entire Trainer so you can't really compare them to each other and call it a day like with other Echoes
either you differentiate Mega enough so it can stand on its own (ruining the point of making an Echo) or don't and just have a straight-up worse Charizard since it was originally constructed so you wouldn't have to rely on only its abilities. The latter happened with solo Zard in Smash 4 as well TBH and was why it never performed that hot competitively
...but also Mega Charizard X looks cool so fuck it, why not?
Captain Toad vs Wesker will be the final battle of Incel vs Volcel
Megazard X would also do Dragon Rush instead of Flare Blitz and Fire Blast instead of Flamethrower if they wanted to keep it similar to the Smash 4 FS
I thought at first that it would be kinda silly if Mega Charizard was no stronger than regular Charizard but then I realized Smash is a game where Pichu can be stronger than Pikachu so I say go for it.
Tbf if Toad got in and had a Plant grab it would be more fitting considering Toad's current role in Peach's moveset.
The main reason so many of these old Ridley fan mods or proof of concepts don't work is because they usually just took the Brawl boss battle design (something that, you know, is designed to be a large NPC character and not a playable one) and shrunk it down with minimal changes, thus resulting him looking like some dumb cartoony dinosaur.
Sakurai pretty much had to redesign/reimagine Ridley from top to bottom to get him to work in Smash, which is why he has what is essentially an all new H.R Giger inspired look and a mostly made up moveset save for two special moves (and one of those moves originated in a SSE cutscene).

Would be interesting to see what happens if Sakurai decides to put in Vagrant Story's Ashley Riot.

The Assless Chaps representation we deserve
I made this post before the game released, but there's actually a lot about Ultimate Ridley that can be traced back to his original appearances. The biggest deviation is probably his iconic tail stab being reinterpreted as a horizontal attack rather than a vertical one.
I think the key thing about Ridley is that he was almost going to be a more complex character to get "right" in Smash than modders ever considered. It was never just about him being "too big". There's just a lot going on with him to account for.
imo ridley standing up straight should've been a stance mechanic
plus seeing him longy walk would've been funny

Imagine the effort needed every morning to get his hair spikes like that.

Ridley standing up straight would be his default stance if Sakurai wasn't a coward. He'd have to Ministry of Silly Walks his way across every stage and it would be perfect.
Most of what Ridley actually does in Metroid titles is fairly standard dragon stuff, Ridley's moveset mostly being made up isn't that crazy. The only move of his I wish was changed was his down aerial, it should be a downward tail stab that bounces like Link's.
I stopped playing Vagrant Story when the guide I was following told me to stand in front of a training dummy and attack it until I could get a consistent 100 hit combo.
It's a shame because the game is such an eclectic fusion of ideas that I really wanted to love it.

Never forget how far we've come
Technically Ridley IS kind of a Charizard mod in Ultimate
he still has some of Charizard's gliding parameters in his data
Like, I mean, what are Ridley's recurring attacks in the Metroid games? Spitting fireballs, spitting some sort of plasma laser beam, grabbing Samus, stabbing with his tail, and grabbing and dragging Samus. Grabbing is a generic ability in Smash, and the other three are special moves in some form (the beam breath thing is in his final smash). The rest of his moveset in Smash is based around what he *could* do, given his anatomy and abilities, which is basically the same for most other characters that aren't player characters in action games.
i honestly don't remember a single ridley fight in the whole of the metroid series so you could tell me that each and every ridley move is a reference to some iconic attack and I couldn't argue otherwise
I still think it's lame as hell that Pikachu gets its Pikachu Libre costume but Mewtwo doesn't get a Shadow Mewtwo one. It's a gimme!
I believe it couldn't work because of Mewtwo's Final Smash.
Shadow Mewtwo only transformed in to Mega X while the one in smash transforms into Mega Y
He breathes fire, flies, swipes/grabs with his claws, and uses his tail like a dagger sometimes.
Also, there was the time he was out of commission and so Mecha-Ridley showed up.
...Samus needs more archenemies.
Ah, shoot, I totally forgot about that. That's a tragedy.
Not the least because Mega Mewtwo X is pretty ugly to begin with.
