2nd post, you love it, you know you do.
I know I know, thank you based 2nd post.
Said Mashpotato Samurai does not hype up something that would disappoint the fans. He's been alluding to Ridley, teasing him as a boss, but not once has he said Ridleys name or discussed what he does as a boss. The "Sakurai we all know and love" would be doing all this for a hype, fangasmic reveal, later on. I'm not saying this has to be what's happening, I am however saying this is quite the possibility. If it was just as simple as Ridley being a boss they would have curbed the confusion right away like they did with Prince Sable and other deconfirmed characters.
- The "stage hazard" Ridley they showed was suspiciously small
They gave America on of their fan favorites already. Little Mac. Considering the **** from his own country he got for it, do you think he'd add in another "Western" character?
That is an arbitrary as hell limitation.
He hasn't even shown off any of the Japanese fan favorites aside from Lady Palutena.
They don't always have to cater to the Japanese audience, you know. Besides, Ridley isn't as "Western" as Little Mac is.
Honestly yes, the wii u is selling just fine in Japan and I'm sure they want to sell this game where the majority of sales come from.
The roster is already finalized, so sure, why not?
Why not? Japan might get Shulk and we might get Ridley.
Been a year, feels like an eternity.(Though for us Ridley fans it's gonna be probably over a year and not 2 days>
Shulk is just as popular here as in Japan (arguably like Palutena)
I hope not.
You do realize he does not add characters based on what a vocal minority has to say right?
...what? I don't even...
You got a problem with Shulk?
No. I'm just adding that as a minor point.so now we've gone to ridley cant be in because america already has its requested character? this debate is falling apart
If Little Mac wasn't unique but still had high fan support he still would've made it in.
Except that's just a stupid argument to begin with. There's plenty of overlap with the characters who are popular in Japan and the West. What would define a "Japanese fan favorite"? Would it have to be like Little Mac and be a character that isn't popular in the West?
It don't work that way.
No, not at all. I just don't want characters included or excluded from a certain region is all.
They literally pushed Fire Emblem and Mother on the "West" with the Smash series. I really don't think they care either way.
It's more fun this way.
Highly unlikely doesn't matter when you have developer tools and debug modes active. The devs can put together any combination they like. They could spawn a hundred Mews all at once if they wanted to.
It's been in several interviews. I suggest you ask again so that you get a response from someone else (ie: someone who is not too lazy to look stuff up).
No other disconfirmed character has been shown in shadow form either. Why is Ridley different?
I don't think so. Stage bosses are one of the new features of Smash Bros. 4. They're a pretty big thing that needs to be highlighted, especially over such minor details as "this is what screen KOs look like now".
They've been highlighted through the first boss, Yellow Devil.
That's not what I said. I said Mac is a Western fan favorite (and was criticized by Japanese fans) so I would think he would also try to please his own people.
you mean like how Marth and Roy were originally going to be japan exclusive characters?
Not only that, but we had the same format.Certainly.

Here's the most important part of the article.
"I don't like it when a tweet or whatever leads to needless speculation getting spread around."

I'm really trying my hardest to not seem rude when I type this, so if I come across as such I apologize...
Jigglypuff says "hi."
...yeah, cause that'd be worth it...
I always forget about Jigglypuff somehow.
