also
ridley is too freaking big
scaling him down would NOT work because he'd look completely disproportional
it worked with bowser because bowser's not only a lot smaller but seems to change size constantly between games |

@ferel
to be completely honest i'm not that big of a ridley fan, but metroid deserves a 2nd rep and ridley is the only actual option (it's possible fully to scale him down, it's been done before, but would be difficult)
lucario was included as a portrait for generation 4 - generation 4 is over now and greninja really should have replaced lucario. nintendo is clearly attempting to give their "big franchises" 5 characters, (mario, pokemon, zelda if they decide to add ghirahim or demise or someone), but lucario isn't relevant anymore. generation 5 had almost no posterchildren, the only ones that would be applicable would be zoroark or genesect for a more humanoid shape that have relevance in the pokemon canon. zoroark, being the illusion pokemon, wouldn't even be possible to play in smash and wouldn't really have any special moves that would be usable niche-wise in a smash bros game. genesect would be a better option due to it having different beams/physical moves and a more interesting character design. genesect would represent generation 5 instead of generation 4 - something that doesn't need representation anymore

@tjl
the only problem with that is that they've only appeared in 1-2 games and really aren't important in metroid lore
ridley has appeared in all of the metroid games but 2 and is extremely important in lore |

Metroid has 2 Samus now. Either way Ridley just doesn't work in SSB.

You don't understand how characters are chosen. Zoroark is a few million times more popular than Genesect is, plus it can get into SSB a LOT easier than Genesect can. Not only that but Zoroark is basically the second coming of Lucario. It's used as the introduction to Gen 5 (Appears in a Gen 4 movie but is an Unova Pokemon, like Lucario appeared in a Gen 3 movie but is a Sinnoh Pokemon.) and Illusion can actually work. Not only that but you don't see any Pokemon in the games having their abilities. Is Lucario immune to knockback? No, even though his ingame ability makes him immune to flinching. Does Pikachu paralyze whatever comes in contact with it? No. You get the idea. Also, what is an interesting character design and what isn't is a matter of opinions, not an objective matter we can discuss. And Zoroark is more popular than Genesect ever was. Did I mention N, the rival and final battle in Black and White has a Zoroark as his last Pokemon?
Or that you get given his Zorua in B2W2?
"Lucario isn't important anymore."
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLLOLOLOLOLOL
Lucario is INSANELY popular in Japan. No, not very popular. Insanely, ridiculously, absurdly popular. Not only that but Lucario got a Mega Evolution with an overpowered ability in X and Y to make him better competitively, (To the point he was banned.) HE WAS USED AS THE INTRODUCTION TO MEGA EVOLUTIONS AND YOU GET ONE FOR FREE IN X/Y, he was already in SSBB, so he'd be a RETURNING VETERAN, having a lot more priority and chances of being chosen over any Pokemon that wasn't in Brawl.
Oh, did I mention Mega Lucario is in the first (And so far only) opening of the XY anime? Only Pokemon there other than the ones owned by main characters and Xerneas/Yveltal. Well, of course there's a Pangoro and Honedge but those are there to represent Gen 6.
Want a moveset for Zoroark's Special moves?
Why not read the possible character sheet made for Zoroark?
