I have to say, it's been an interesting morning. The Gematsu leak took a hit (though I don't think it's dead), and we now have the opportunity for other characters. So that's an interesting development for a lot of characters, including the space pirate leader himself.
I will also say, I feel a bit more confident in Ridley. I still have some skepticism since there is the boss thing, but now there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Along with the leak being confirmed to not be the full roster, Chrom being disconfirmed was interesting because it was immediately done by Nintendo earlier today with no hesitation, something that they still haven't really done with Ridley. It could be because they want to keep the boss a surprise and I won't deny that, but it's still something to note.
Either way, we probably won't know for a while, but hopefully that patience will be worth it.
