1. Size is irrelevant to smash.

2. I see.

3. Ok.

4. Nintendo didn't add enough villains to the first few games; I mean, we have Bowser, his 8 kids, Ganondorf, King Dedede, Mewtwo (who technically qualifies as a villain), and a few others; if they're going all out with the villains here, they need one from the Metroid series (Dark Samus is out since she's an AT).

5. Bowser and Petey Piranha both sounded like Dinosaurs/Dragons/whatever in Brawl; Ridley had roars similar to that.

6. Bowser tries relentlessly to tear a kingdom from the hands of fair and just ruler just because he wants to rule the world; Ganondorf threatened to feed an entire race of rock people to an angry lava dragon; Tabuu painfully tortured a 2-dimensional creature to get the Shadow Bugs he needed for his army, and cared less what the people within the world he wanted to rule over wanted. None of these villains are any less violent in intention.
