So, now that he's been deconfirmed for Smash 4, can we please get Ridley?
There are quite a few of us who want to play as him, and I know Project M would do him more justice than that fool Sakurai would, anyway. I'm confident now that he'll never be playable in an official Smash game, so I think he more than deserves to be playable in the actually good one. Ridley isn't just a fan favorite, he has a lot of unique moveset potential, too. Not only that, but Metroid's criminally underrepped.
Like, seriously. Now that Smash 4 is just turning into the Mario Kart 7 of Smash Bros., it would be really great if this game could have a roster that wasn't just a bunch of obscure characters.
I concur. The Project M team with the right set of newcomers could easily rival Smash 4's roster looking at how things are going.
Bringing in Ridley, a character who has been among the most wanted newcomers for Smash Bros. since the pre-Melee days (and the most wanted newcomer at this point), would steal a lot of thunder from Smash 4.
I would also like to see Golden Sun (Isaac) and Advance Wars (Sami) get in, considering those are the only two major Nintendo franchises that will be lacking a playable characters after Smash 4 if the (increasingly legitimate) leaks are anything to go by.
If anyone is curious about the Smash 4 leaks. Basically the same person that leaked Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, Mega Man, Little Mac, Mii, and Pac-Man last year, is now saying that these are also newcomers:
- Palutena
- Chrom
- Pokemon from X and Y (turned out to be Greninja)
- Shulk
- Chorus Men (Rhythm Heaven)
Basically, the only three characters that got into Smash 4 that would have qualified for Project M are Villager, Little Mac, and Palutena.
Also, Lyn would make a great contrast to Chrom (why another blue-haired swordsman?).
