Is there anyone that actually, genuinely is looking forward to fighting Bossley?
Not just to prove people wrong about his playability, but is hyped, HYPED about fighting a stage hazard?
Ridley is one of my favorite Nintendo villains, if not my absolute, and has been since I first played Metroid Prime in 2002.
Because I like him so much, I just want to see him in the game, period. I was disappointed that he wasn't playable in Brawl, but I was still happy that he was in the game, in both Super and Meta forms, no less.
So, I was a little hyped.
This time around, my hype is conditional: if Roidley is my only option, I would rather he not even be in the game at all. Yes, I hate that stupid thing that much.
Roidley will kill my hype either way. Unless by some stroke of brilliance they can make him not hideous and awful.
If by some miracle the real Ridley is playable, I will be hyped out of my mind. If he is only a boss, I will be more relieved than hyped.
Basically I just don't want him to look stupid. If they truly can't make him playable size without looking silly, I would rather he just be a boss.
Melee sized Brawl Ridley in HD. No substitutes. I expect to be completely disappointed.
