Ridley can be exactly like Toon Link. He may be a giant boss (like Bowser and Ganondorf) he would fit as a newcomer. Please give reasons why he wouldn't fit as a playable character. In your opinion he may be a waste of space, but imo he would be a nice addition as unique character and third rep for a big franchise like Metroid.

Oops then I saw it wrong. You don't have to be so mean about it. Newsflash, Ganondorf was never THAT big in any Zelda games, unless you mean by "Ganon", not "GanonDORF".

The Metroid games may be popular, that is until Metroid: Other M. No giant bosses have ever been playable in Smash. What makes you think Ridley can be playable? "Waste of space" is "waste of space", i.e. Ridley. He's already been hinted as a stage boss in the Pyrosphere stage, no substitutions. Even he will never be confirmed as playable tomorrow. I have to agree. Ridley as a boss character is fine by me. If the Yellow Devil was announced as a boss and a playable character, it just wouldn't work. The same goes for Ridley.
