Yes, Ridley is big but that excuse is horrible. Just make him smaller just like they made Olimar bigger. Easy. Shit, in the opening for Melee Ridley was only the size of Samus.

You must have just sucked because I wrecked with Link on 64 back in the day.

The excuse is horrible? The creators wanted Ridley too appear in his entire glory which is why they made him a boss in Brawl. You want them too degrade his image just so you can possess his body? You are a danger too humanity and pterodactyl alien bandits alike. Why do you hate democracy?

No but serious guys. Ridley was cool as a boss and there is no need for him to be playable.

Same can be said for Bowser yet he's one of my Smash favorites.

So, in the end, that's just your opinion. Not universal fact.

Of course. My opinions are not to be taken as THE WORD. But exposed exposure to some people on this website gives me the urge to argue about irrelevant things... I will restrain in the future.

But Bowser has been playable in things like Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario RPG and another one on the DS. Ridley has never been playable (that I know of) and plus Bowser is a flagship Nintendo villain like Gannondorf.

So is Ridley so why should he not be playable in Smash again? I know this time it isn't due to any height restriction when the very characters you just mentioned change size all the time. Something that even the space dragon can do.

King K Rool was never cool. No one likes him. Stop wanting him. You just want him because you need something to ***** about.

Incorrect. If you don't like him, that's fine. But K. Rool was one of the top requested newcomers for this game.

Actually Ridley is just the Metroid Main Villain, I wouldn't put him on Bowser or Gannon popularity. But just my opinion.

I actually didn't know that. That is interesting. But then I didn't vote and no one I know of voted so how can the results be valid.

Years of polls demonstrate his popularity.

There were also constant polls on various sites and popularity "tournaments" where K. Rool always was among the top 5 at the very least. Just because you or anyone you know didn't vote doesn't mean it's invalid.

Well it came from Smashboards so that is valid. I was just hoping it wasn't a poll on some unknown website taken by seven people. I honestly don't see the appeal to being King K. Rool. but the people have spoken. I guess I can see the appeal in beating the crap out of him though... 😈

Look at that face... soooo hittable.

Rool didn't even came back for the Return series, no sh_ts are given about him awesr

Mewtwo in the other hand just reappeared as a legendary and got not one but two Megaevolutions, he definitively got the shaft as far as being left out goes. But of course, he sucked on Smash.

If not K. Rool, there could've been Dixie Kong far as DK goes (who was in DKC Tropical Freeze and some of the more recent stuff); would've preferred her over most of the females we had actually gotten, ironically. There was also Cranky Kong if you count him I guess.

Sucking in Smash didn't stop Ganondorf from returning. Not intended as a low blow on the character, but it's true; I mean just look at him in Brawl. 😬 What amazes me most about Mewtwo not making it back again though is how he had literally everything going for him. Two mega-evolutions like Charizard, a new anime movie (though wasn't really a fan of it or the Y form for that matter), becoming the most popular requested character in Japan and the West bar none, being marketed more and more lately, etc... So much for him being my Raven/Ermac of Smash Bros.

Then again, it'll only be a matter of time until DLC's confirmed for this game like Mario Kart 8, so maybe we'll see something more of Mewtwo by then, along with Wolf and other cut veterans who should've been in the game to begin with. Ice Climbers, I can give more of a pass though if them being cut was due to the 3DS's limitations.

Oh, and Ridley, I had come to terms with the repeated disappointment on awhile ago. Worst thing about it (for me at least) is how he'll be reduced to a flying pinata on the Pyrosphere during player matches, who will float idly by more than half the time for players to use the platforms to jump up and attack him, if Yellow Devil and the other stage hazards are anything to go by. It'll by no means be the fast and relentless Ridley you'd normally see in a Metroid, which indeed would've been better represented as a playable character. Size isn't really what makes him what he is like Kraid or someone of that caliber, though I can respect the other opinions of him too.

The lesson here is that Dark Pit >>> Mewtwo>>>Ridley>>>K. Rool. Pitverse rules supreme.

You furry.

Sycophant. uhuh

Well Ganondorf confirmed to have his sword under custom moveset options. From what I understand though they can't be used online, but at least it's something.

I dub thee, the warlock stab. Pretty nice range for that kind of attack.

I didn't know Toon Link was in this until today and, holy crap, he couldn't have a moveset slightly different from the other Link's? No leaf fan or Wind Waker? Not even a mirror shield to deflect projectiles. That's pretty lame.

My sentiments exactly.

Shit that's cool.

Fox having Wolf's blaster and side special in custom moves. Whyyyyyyyyy!

Can't let you do that Star Fox.
Makes me wonder even more why they didn't just put in Dr. Mario's pills and such as some of Mario's custom moves instead of the Doc taking another spot on the roster. Some clones just have more priority than other ones I guess. 😬
