Yeah the "big, bad, and scary" monsters of course. :P

When you say clone in regards to smash, I really only think of clone characters. I actually forgot the whole Ridley being cloned thing for a moment lol.

True we won't see Giga Bowser all the time, though he's still present. And all giant monsters kinda are supposed to have a somewhat "terrifying" screech.

And for the size issue, I myself can't provide pictorial proof. I've just known Ridley to be a large alien dragon thing that could swallow Samus whole if he wanted to. Seeing him shrunk down to Bowser's size in Smash standards I just have a hard time imagining it (even if he's crouching most of the time).
