I can't believe I'm responding to this...oh well, no one read my other posts either...
Jame bond was on the Melee poll
1) He's owned by Rare (Microsoft)
2) He is not originally from a video game
Nintendo owns Ridley, and he IS originally from a video game.
I'm fine with that, but if he chose to better represent the pokemon series would you want Red playable?
He never said he wanted more Pokemon rep. And I really don't give a crap if Red is playable.
Goroh is a RIVAL, not a NEMESIS. Look up the difference because I'm not explaining it. Captain Falcon has like 10 rivals, and he's from a less important series.
Sakurai said he wanted more Metroid characters and more villains. Ridley fits the bill on both.
Metroids even more, the series are named after them
Metroids were in two games Ridley was not in (RoS and Echoes). And, they hardly did anything in Echoes...
Besides, who gives? What moveset is a metroid going to have. Any button: energy drain. ... yay! fun character! I guess they did a bad pick on Ganondorf, because he wasn't in every game. They should have picked some generic minion. Bad choice, Nintendo. /sarcasm
Deoxys is unique, what happend to it?
Deoxys blows. They only people who wanted him were the diehard pokemon fans. People who hate metroid, have never played it, etc.
want Ridley. Case-in-point: The Japanese
want Ridley.
And Deoxys looks like a complete tool. You don't get characters who look much cooler than Ridley. And, another thing...they
WOULD have to come up with a complete moveset with Deoxys. With Ridley...the job is pretty much done already. (see Gypsy's moveset, which you refuse to read)
Shallow? Do you know what that means?
Besides, Japan wanted Ness...he got in. Japan wanted Marth...he got in
Gee....
Don't get you're hopes too high, remeber what happend to mr.DNAlien
Who???
