And look at the polls. Sakurai added every single high-ranking character EXCEPT Ridley and Geno. I'm not a Ridley fan at all, but Metroid has had a
single rep for every game. Ridley is, honestly, the only other Metroid representative besides Samus that has enough importance and the....figure to be a fighter. Lucario, a perfectly normal Fighting-type Pokemon got in, probably on
sheer hype. And they won't put
RIDLEY in?!
It just defies logic. Theres just no way Sakurai would call this game perfect with a smaller amount of unlockable fighters then Melee, a bizzare roster with characters that would never have gotten in if they weren't historical (I'm looking at you, R.O.B)., and denial of characters that are so absurdly popular and so well-known to their franchises. I mean, yeah, no Megaman doesn't surprise me, but...
what?!
Long story short: it makes
no sense. I just can't bring myself to believe
thats the final roster.
...and lack of Claus makes me hate it even more
