basically, your saying this: you dont want ridley playble because your THAT big of a ridley fanboy. you dont think ANY character at all should be able to beat him. you also dont want him to be changed in any way possible, despite the fact that he can still be scaled down, and not have too many alterations. You also think that pikachu is weak, which are all
LIES. TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE LIES since pikachu is the most pwnage character in all of nintendo.
take this for example:
back in the 90's, when I was just a little tyke, I was a HUGE pikachu fanboy. I practically worshiped the little guy, and watched pokemon religously. then SSB came, and I couldnt have been more happy to know that pika was playable. I bought the entire game just to play as pikachu. but do you know what the problem was? I couldn't win. back then, all I thought SSB was about was just pushing the b button, and I lost everytime. It pained me losing as pikachu, since I always thought pikachu was the pwnage. but do you know what I did? I kept trying. I eventually figured out smash attacks, throwing, and all that stuff. I kept on trying until pikachu was the pwnage little mouse I knew and loved. and do you know what? I kept on maining him, even in melee, where he was nerfed considerably. did that stop me from playing as pika? NO. I STILL main pika to this day, and will still main pika in brawl, even if he becomes even weaker. you wanna know why? BECAUSE PIKACHU IS MY CHILDHOOD-FREAKING-HERO. and...*dramatic music starts playing in the background, while people wave flags with thier eyes closed* even if ridley sucks in brawl, if you like him that much, then doggonit, NEVER GIVE UP ON RIDLEY. AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE IN HIM, ANY CHARACTER WILL BE TOP TIER. and THAT my friend *puts fist into the air* is a REAL smasher's determination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/overdramatic post]
aaaaaand, I was about to post something else, that was actually relavent to the topic and hand, but since you've already been purseuaded, I guess its useless now ;_:
