I highly doubt they'd waste a slot on Ridley. Metroid isn't really that popular in Japan, and Ridley isn't all that exciting otherwise.

I don't know how they'd work an enormous dragon with wings into the game anyway.

Just so long as that Bowser Jr. rumor doesn't come true, they can do whatever they want.

I always thought of Ridley as more of a boss type character.

I just got to thinking, since it was mentioned afew days ago that the SSB games is practically a collection of the biggest characters from the games we grew up with and/or play today (paraphrased, anyway)...how SFF'able would you think SSB is? I mean, I know LoZ and Mario could beat it, and I know it can beat any other Nintendo series...but do you think it would under-perform against any of them, or perhaps over-perform?

If they put Bowser Jr. in there, they better make him worth playing as -- otherwise, once I get the trophies that need him (assuming the trophy idea carries on), I won't touch him again. If he's good and enjoyable though...I can't hate on him for that.

A World Cup poll, eh? You know what that means...A bracket with the World Cup format!

Or not. I'm just making a false correlation.

World Cup poll, oh my! Be on the lookout for one of the biggest swings in history once not-America wakes up!

10 minutes in:
Yes, I'll be watching every match I can 13.41% 74
Yes, I'll watch my local team and the big matches 9.06% 50
Maybe, if my country does well 7.61% 42
Possibly, if there's nothing else on 15.4% 85
Soccer? You must be joking. 54.53% 301
TOTAL VOTES 552

I highly doubt they'd waste a slot on Ridley.

I'd insta-buy a Wii if Ridley was in SSBB. But then I am a huge Ridley mark.

Best. Poll. Ever.

Seriously, I wouldn't want to see Ridley as a playable character. I'm a Ridley mark myself, but his abilities are way too powerful and broken to adapt him to SSB.

The only way Ridley would work is as a final boss, like Master Hand.

I think it'd be hilarious if, at the end of SSBB's single-player mode, Master Hand pops out, does his MUAHAHAHAHA laugh - and then prompty gets set on fire and thrown out of the arena by Ridley.

At least I'd find it funny if I remotely liked Ridley. But you know what I mean!

...That would be AWESOME. Like how Luigi boots Mario out of the fight.

In all seriousness though, I think we can all agree that the only Metroid character besides Samus that would work in SSBB is Mother Brain. She can have a transformation, just like Zelda, where she gains the ability to move!
