visual art Duck Hunt: No Ridley for you

[SaburoDaimando 1,196]

As you are aware, the Duck Hunt Dog is a playable hidden character in Super Smash Bros.  And Ridley once again didn't make it for Super Smash Bros.

 

So I whipped up this image of that Dog holding a badly-drawn Ridley.

Ridley is simply too big of a character.... If I'm getting the general de mentions corrects he would almost be double regular bowsers height.... So it's not surprising Ridley didn't make the cut.

Duh.  That's why I had to shrink him down to being even smaller than Pikachu just so the Dog can catch him.(blows smoke off Zapper)

The Duck Hunt Dog was just such a stupid choice, though. There are many other far better characters that would have fit the aesthetic theme of the game, which, to be honest, doesn't look that polished to me from what I have seen. :x

Eh, I'm not really surprised that Ridley didn't make it. He was already established as a bigger character than others before in the smash universe, whereas someone like Olimar didn't have anyone to compare to in terms of size until he made his first playable appearance. 

I personally quite like the duck hunt dog. I think he's an iconic nintendo and gaming character, and he represents an iconic part of nintendo history, being the zapper. I always look forward to sakurai surprising me, and this time, he succeeded!
