Yeah, but that's just a massive amount of people who share the same opinion. And that's all it is. Just because everyone else wants him in, doesn't mean I'm going to just jump on the bandwagon to fit in. Besides, you can't possibly tell me that my opinion here is wrong. That is in fact impossible since it's an opinion, which by the way is how someone feels about something. To tell them that their opinion is wrong is to tell them that they do not feel that way. If they do in fact feel what you say they do not, then you are so wrong, and are such a fool.
I wouldn't mind Ridley, but honestly I don't think he's that cool. In fact I think he's quite a boring character. But yet again that's just my opinion. He's too flashy for me, very tacky, very generic, no personality, no motive for his evil... he almost fails as a character in my opinion.
I think it's ridiculous. You may not, and neither may 90% of the people on this forum. But you cannot tell me that I am wrong for thinking that Ridley is too much to ask for.
In fact, you must read the whole Metroid manga to understand Ridley's awesomeness; because in the manga, Ridley has a great personality, better than Samus'.
But, even if you haven't read the manga, Ridley is a freaking plasma-breathing pirate dragon. That's awesome, even if he hasn't a personality.
He's also the most important character after Samus herself. He created her.
But, I understand you. In the games, he's only another big enemy (the most awesome one IMO, but yeah, only a big enemy). But he's the MOST recurring enemy.
Ridley must be in Brawl. (Yeah, I'm a big Ridley supporter, but I'm trying to be unbiased). Metroid is now a huge series, and Ridley is the second most important, popular and recognizable character. He's also a villain, his series NEEDS representation... Maybe you don't like Ridley, but he's a must.
