So your saying that everything everyone says all the time is always right?HAHA!, i was right!, ridley is going to be a boss like master hand!. ridley fan***s just got owned so hard!
Thats not correct.
Ridley has no real reason to be just a boss, he deserves a spot as a playable character. Hes been in like almost every Metroid game and has major parts in the story.

Maybe this is a screenshot from the Brawl beta that Alpha n00b and IcyDrifter have been playing?

Plus AR no longer works on Wii's with firmware updates or so I've read, so don't bet on it.

What if there was a new mode where you get to be a boss character but you would have to fight 3 other regular sized characters.
You could be Petey Pirana, Ridley, or MasterHand fighting against 3 of your friends.

I've been campaigning for Ridley since Melee first came out, but when I saw Petey Piranha, I died a little inside. It seems to me a very easy option to just make Ridley into a boss and not a playable character. It really depends on how aware Nintendo is of how its fans are thinking. In the past, Nintendo has always hated its fans and sought to destroy us, but lately, mostly with Brawl, I've gotten the feeling that they've finally worked it out. They need only come as far as this forum to see that taking the easy road and making Ridley a boss only is a very bad decision that will disappoint a lot of fans. The question is whether they care enough to not do it.

Why can't people just accept ridley being just a boss?, he always has been, always will be.

He was a sort of end of game boss that you face after the elite 4 (That you could also catch).
And why don't you shut the **** up? well mainly because your a stubborn and arrogant noob that states stupid reasons which have nothing to go on.

ZOMG! And it says "Yoshi :Ending music" that music will be the ending song!
(The Ridley music is called that because thats the music that plays during the boss fights with Ridley)
"Alpha noob"... you **** right

We're not talking about Meta Ridley, we're not talking about Omega Ridley, not Mecha Ridley, we're talking about bog standard, purple Ridley.
Case closeddd.

yes, and it also says "Yoshi’s Story: Ending" does this mean we will hear it if we finish the game with yoshi in the background at the staff credit???
No.
No one knows so don't say it as if it is a fact.

'He's too big.'
Ridley's size is hardly an argument. Smash is meant to bring fan-favorite Nintendo (mostly) characters into playable fighting form. As long as a moveset can be created for them then they are Smash-capable. Ridley size would not interfere with this. Bowser is a good example, as he has been much larger than Ridley ever has been in some games, but in other games (even Smash) he has been downsized to fit whatever role he is given. Ridley's role has always been as a boss. (an important one, at that) It's only natural for him to be large and imposing for this role. Ridley's role in Smash? To fight of course! So he would be easily downsized so he could do so with the rest of the Nintendo all-stars.
'He would look awkward.'
Ridley is large and lanky, yes. But, that is just how Ridley is. It's part of his character. He could still be made to fight in the world of Smash quite easily. Donkey Kong has a huge head and long, large arms, but small legs in comparison. Kirby and Jigglypuff have tiny, stubby arms and huge feet tacked on their round bodies. Yet, all of these examples have proven Smash-worthy, have they not? He may look a little different from your average human-shaped fighter, but give him a chance.
'His design would be too hard to implement.'
Long head with huge powerful jaws. Great, mighty wings. Long, claw-tipped arms. Long, flexible pointed-tip tail. All part of the Ridley design. How could they implement all these great, fighting features you say? In Melee, that might have been very difficult. This is Brawl, however, and the recently confirmed Charizard throws this argument away. Charizard also follows the draconic design, so if they could make him work, then so too could they make Ridley.
'He would be an Assist Trophy.'
Ridley? An Assist Trophy? Let's look into what has been confirmed Assist Trophy material.
Hammer Bro. - A generic enemy of the Mario franchise.
Nintendog - Something to represent a very successful franchise that otherwise, could not have been represented in Smash. (Think of what critics would say about Smash if you were able to kick around a cute little puppy!)
Samurai Goroh - A rival of Captain Falcon. He was one of the first four F-Zero characters. Seems important enough to be playable, doesn't he? Not really... F-Zero hasn't really come along as a franchise as much as Metroid has recently. Main villains, like Black Shadow and Deathborn would be more likely if F-Zero were to get another representative. That is what Ridley is, a main villain.
Dr. Wright - Like the Nintendog, he is here to represent a series that was popular, but otherwise did not have enough going for him to make him playable.
Knuckle Joe - An enemy and helper character of the Kirby series. He's not important to the series, but is highly popular. Kirby is likely to be better represented this time around, with Meta-Knight and King Dedede joing him for Brawl. Knuckle Joe was likely just included as an Assist Trophy for his popularity.
Devil - A character from an old, popular game. He was included for the nostalgic effect, it would seem.
Now, Ridley is not a generic enemy like a Hammer Bro or Knuckle Joe. He is an important part of the Metroid series; He gave Samus her motives for becoming who she is, basically. He's a highly important villain in a very popular series in need of representation, unlike Goroh. Unlike the Nintendog and Dr. Wright, he is capable of fighting, and his respective game(s) is not old. The Devil is there to represent an old popular game series, something Metroid is not.
So, from what can be gathered, Ridley is not Assist Trophy material.
'He would be a boss.'
Ofcourse he should be. That is what he always has been. Does this mean he should be unplayable? No way! Bowser and Ganondorf have also been bosses, but they are playable in Melee. (Ridley is often considered the 'Bowser and Ganondorf' for Metroid) The recently confirmed boss, Petey Piranha, is not important to the Mario series. He's popular yes, but not important. Meta-Ridley, the huge cybernetic Dragon of Metroid Prime would make a great boss, in fact. He could stay his huge size. And attack in the same method. Dropping bombs for players to catch and throw back at him. Once grounded, he would use his dash attack to try and knock away players. That is when you dodge, and attack him during Meta-Ridley's lag. If you don't cause enough damage, look out for his plasma beam! It could be quite intense! 'Classic' Ridley however, could also be an earlier 'boss' that you must fight and defeat. He would be like a normal playable character, though. (Although probably made heavier to make him more difficult) Only later will he return as the monstrous Meta-Ridley boss. You may notice 'Boss Fight' in the title of Ridley's theme. This is only the name of the song used in the games, the 'Boss Fight' there to show Ridley's boss status in his games.
'He isn't popular, and non-important to the franchise.'
Nothing is further from the truth! Ridley is shown to have a long history with Samus herself. Him being the one who led the space pirates on the invasion of her home, destroying it, and her parents, in the process. He has always appeared as a boss in most of the Metroid games. (All but two, Metroid II and Metroid Prime: Echoes) He is also very popular. In Sakura's poll, from what he allowed us to see, Ridley was mentioned four times; The same amount as Diddy Kong and Ike, both of which are confirmed playable. These polls were japan-only, a place where Metroid is not very popular, yet Ridley is still very well-known there, and he is wanted.

I just caught this. who is saying he wont be playable because of Petey? you disected what you wanted and put your own off spin to it. he wont be playable if he ends up in that game mode section that's for sure. with that update it's obvious Sakurai wants to let people know or people with a brain. that Bosses are special and seperate from playble characters. so i dunno where you got Petey out of that. you wont see Bowser in that section or ganonodorf im sure. giga bowser and some form of Ganon maybe but not regular Bowser and ganondorf. im hoping soon we get a update on whether or not Ridley is a boss character. If he is it's over and you can come with some new bs excuse. but it will only further prove my point. all im saying is you guys have your fingers crossed for Meta Ridley as a boss or smething instead of Ridley that way he can still be playable. im hoping it's Meta Ridley. Ridley does deserve to be playable but if he's gonna be a boss aint happening. so instead of going Ridley boss character FTW!! you should be really saying Meata Ridley FTW!!
