I wish there was a way to have "phail" or "n00b" stamped across people's avatars or something so that when they posted someone would think "Ohhh, he phails, no reason to pay any attention to him."

...

Ridley for Brawl.

Ahem.

I'm sorry, Ridley sucks? Under what pretense?

See, cause this is such a riveting argument, I need to offer my rebuttal.

The topic on the floor is...

"Ridley sucks, and his only chance is as a boss."

First of all, you don't have a case, if you can't support your claim. However, for entertainment purposes, let's say you could make a case out of this.

First of all, no. He doesn't, under the following premises:

1) Ridley has appeared in every Metroid game sans Metroid II and Metroid Prime II: Echoes, for reasons pertaining to the story. For a character that sucks, I'd really like to know why he'd been in a series more than once. Couldn't be because he has a large fan base and is one of the most popular characters in the Metroid series next to Samus.

2) Ridley has strong ties to Samus; The fact that Ridley killed her parents, and nearly killing her, forced the Chozo to infuse Samus with Chozo DNA, so that she can use the Chozo Varia suit, which is primarily used in the Metroid games, sans Metroid Fusion. For a character that sucks, I'd really like to know why he has such a strong backstory pertaining to our protagonist.

3) Ridley (and Pit), were meant to be in melee. However, due to production time, and system limitations, the two characters were cut due to not being able to animate the wings (respectively) and tail properly. You'll notice in the opening movie for Melee, that Ridley does not have a tail for this reason. But, if was supposed to be in Smash Brothers, the greatest Nintendo fighting game to date, he must be pretty **** cool to make that roster. But you said he sucks, right? Heh. Must be true.

4) Ridley is one of the most popular characters within Nintendo. While not as popular as say, Mario, Samus, Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Ridley is very popular in comparision to several other characters. Let's also take note of the fact, that on Sakurai's poll, Ridley was listed as one of the options, and placed rather highly on the polls. This poll was only open to Japan, and the japanese fan base isn't that big on Metroid/Ridley. Yet, Japan spoke, and said they want Ridley. For a character who sucks, I really wonder why he's so popular.

5) Ridley has one of the most interesting moveset potentials. Ridley flies (which we now know/assume that he'd have the ability to glide), has large, razor sharp claws, rows of sharp teeth amongst his powerful jaws, and a wicked, vicious tail (which, if you've ever played a Metroid, you know how useful and awesome that tail is. Don't lie to yourself). He also spews fireballs and beams of plasma from his mouth, opening up a projectile option for our Space Pirate leader. But he sucks, so these moves wouldn't be that great. Shame, really.


Will Ridley be a boss in Brawl; I don't doubt it. We've had bosses before (Giga Bowser). Mewtwo and Ganondorf were bosses alongside Giga Bowser, and those two are playable. Why couldn't Ridley (tell me he's too big. I effing dare you)?

Actually, looking at all of these points... Ridley doesn't seem like he sucks to me. Nope, not at all. And I'm also pretty **** certain the census of this topic, and most of Smashboards would agree with me.


Here's a towel.


You might wanna throw it in.


Ridley for Brawl, *****es.

Ridley and Pit were meant to be in Melee? News to me.

Ridley is in the word selection for the Wii internet channel! That just makes him even more likely!

The only problem being the military leader of THE S.S.S is the Incarnation of a Legendary Psychopath...
