Yeah but mate, people don't want Ridley in for actual reasons. If he weren't too big everything would be cool. But as far as I understand it, the only reason you don't want Rayman in is because you don't want too many 3rd party characters. Which I guess is cool I understand that, but it terms of how they would actually play out in battle there's no real problem.

So he would fit in battle, just not within the rest of the characters.
