Seriously though, the one time where he was the same size as Samus was the first Metroid, which was rendered non-canon by Zero Mission (where he was gigantic... as he has been since Super Metroid). removing the kraid part since it bears no relevance to this conversation.
As much as I'd love for Metroid to represented more, there really isn't anyone else that's significant and could work. Maybe if that Space Pirate guy from Hunters had been in one more game, but he wasn't and has no significance to the franchise anymore.
Oh, and if anyone mentions the SSBM intro as an argument, I might. Just. Snap.
I would like to point out that super smash bros. doesn't necessarily have to be true to the original franchises.
Yeah, as nice as it is to have that, it's a crossover we're talking about. You can argue that he's big as hell all you want but they could end up making him small specifically for being playable. This isn't necessarily a game that has to be canon towards every other game it represents, mind you.
