'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.
You forgot to exclude Prime: Hunters.

In the apartment next to Sakurai. Friday is Pizza
Hello fellow Ridley believers. I can't bring myself to even consider the option that Ridley won't be playable! Sakurai HAS to add another Metroid character, and there aren't any other allies of Samus, and the only other feasable villain would be Dark Samus, which would be a complete clone. The other hunters aren't important to the series, and M.B./Kraid are too big and don't move. Metroid is easily Nintendo's third largest franchise, so it deserves more reps, especially if the Kirby franchise gets 3 characters (if we get Dedede).

In other words, Ridley for Brawl.

To be honest I had no idea who Ridley was until.... sometimes after Melee when I saw him in the opening and looked it up. And I didn't know who Samus was in Smash Bros.... yep. i've never played a Metroid Game....

I just don't know how well he'd work though, as he looks like a character that flies around a lot..

Wow, this is the most detailed character support thread ever. Thumbs up! ^_^

:p I'd like Ridley to be in Brawl. I'd think his jumps would be a little more like Peach's, to seem like he was flying. That'd be tight.

Since when did you get into club R.I.D.L.E.Y.!?

Anyways hopefully Ridley's update and Shuma you gotta make the BG the same as Smash boards in your costume thing or it would look U.G.L.Y. (United Geek lederhousen... Yhea).

And this thread is going to be A LOT more organized later on...

Aw man, I feel so cheated. They were so supposed to update with Rodley today. Maybe they knew people were anticipating it and they did this just to mess with us...only to shock us tomorrow. Honestly, I saw the name and thought...Andross as a PC? Oh wait, yellow...

Notice how Andross is a main boss, but he's not a Subspace boss like Petey Piranha. It seems like if they were going to use main bosses as Subspace bosses, than Andross would have been a boss.

That makes me think that they're only using minor bosses for bosses. So Ridley won't be a boss.

Quite likely to be true, freeman. Though keep in mind, while most people will agree that Ridley is the most important boss that you fight throughout the series, he's yet to actually be THE final boss in any game. Though I've always found his battles to be more difficult than a lot of the final battles anyway...

Well apparently he... forget i said anything!

Anyways maybe Andross will appear as a boss in his 64 self.

Looks like Sakurai is starting to go all out with the updates lately i mean last week might seem like an average week the way Sakurai is going at.

Metroid other than Prime>Prime
Just because you have an opinion... doesn't mean people care.

You said you can see why MM would be Samus clone because they have the same powers... which you deserved to get flamed Ridley would not give you his powers for such things.

(You said they have similar abilities when they are nothing alike)

Anyways gonna put up the new banners now...
