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. That's a good point, Earthbound shouldn't lose reps. Maybe they'll just replace Lucas, but getting rid of his slot would be weird. Personally, I liked Lucas better than Ness though, move-wise. I think Ness looks cooler, but I digress. I'm with everyone else in saying Ridley is too big. And when people combat that in saying Bowser is too big... as far as I know, Ridley is ALWAYS gigantic. Bowser switches sizing constantly, and most playes, including me, just assume he did so unnaturally using some weird power, so it's fine. If he can grow, he can shrink again, and since there've been multiple instances of him being not much larger than Mario, we can assume that's his natural size. I don't play much of Fire Emblem either, but it also makes sense for them to not lose a rep, if anything, I'd say they should gain one. I've never played a Fire Emblem game, but I hear Awakening was fantastic, and since Chrom was the main character in that game, well there's your reasoning. Sakurai has specifically said that Size Means NOTHING In Smash Brothers. If he wanted to, He could downsize Kraid and have him work as a playable character. as far as I can Tell, Charizard and Pikachu aren't to scale, and they both have official hieghts. besides, the sizes between larger and smaller characters in this game are going to be much more drastic anyways. Also, I made this to show how Ridley would look just fine as a playable character: If You still disagree, fine. but size isn't a good reason to not include an important character. maybe technical issues, but I doubt the Wii U, or even the 3DS would have too much of a problem with Ridley, considering Charizard and Bowser work just fine.... Ridley is a boss character did you see the Direct the shadow of ridley means yes for a you know what(stage boss,don't want another war) Cough. Toon Link. Cough.
