And then, at E3, they will reveal the return of Ganondorf (With a Sword), Possibly Snake, as well as Newcommers Palutena, Chrom, Shulk, and Ridley. That sounds reasonable to me, anyways for the last time ridley will be ok as a stage boss not a playable character I'm not a huge Metroid person, but I don't think Ridley will be playable, and I don't see why people want him so bad. Or is it a her? I dunno, like I said, don't play Metroid. I also don't see all the hubbub about who'll be a starter character and who won't. Does that really matter? And I'm not too sure about us getting Lucas or Ike back. Personally, I think it'd be weird for Lucas not to come back. He's still relevant; no other Mother games have been released since Mother 3, and it'd feel weird to have the Mother series go "Ness, Ness, Ness and Lucas, and then just Ness again". I don't think it deserves to loose reps, but that's just my opinion. Ike also still has a large chance, for he has been consistently appearing in every Fire Emblem game since Path of Radiance, and apart from Marth (Chrom, Lissa, Emmeryn, Lucina, ect) and Chrom (Lucina, other sibling), is the only other character in Awakening to have a direct descendant during the events of the game (Priam). Like I said before, This is just my opinion.

Ridley is male, By the way. and I think the appeal is mostly due to how Badass Ridley is perceived, being a mostly airborne brute (which would fit my playstyle quite nicely, actually), as well as having a really awesome moveset potential. I honestly believe Sakurai's trolling us again, but again, opinions. personally, I don't care about the Starter/Unlockable argument either.
