Alright, guys. The chips are down. We're looking at
increasing amounts of evidence that Ridley isn't playable. So why not, instead of whining and getting mad about it, we get our ***** up and do something about it?
THIS is the voting page for Clone Engine characters for Project M. Here, people vote about and discuss characters they'd like to see in Project M and why, etc.
Ridley is currently in second place, behind Isaac, but the thread is devoid of
any good Ridley talk (and it's mostly just boring Earthbound characters being brought up over and over).
You people need to take your ideas, your love for Ridley,
and put it in this thread. Make Ridley an obvious choice for the Clone Engine. Not only will he become playable (no guarantees, of course), but he'll be viable, lovingly crafted, and unique. The Project M Backroom
knows how to make a character work and feel great. They rebuilt Mewtwo from scratch, for Christ's sake.
Sakurai may be able to overlook us, but Project M won't. It's a Smash built for the fans, by the fans, and Ridley's true home is there, among the ranks of some of the best-designed Smash characters to ever grace the battlefield.
We may have lost the battle, but we haven't lost the war, fellow Pirates. Join the fight for Ridley for Project M and see our efforts actually come to fruition. Let Sakurai add his Miis and Chorus Men. I'll be busy maining my favorite characters in Project M.
