I am truly getting sick of the Ridley pomegranate.
He is not most peoples "dream character". Sure some people might legitimately want him as a playable character but the majority of people saying stuff like "RIDLEY CONFIRMED, RIDLEY FOR SMASH, OMG RIDLEY" and seeing hints at Ridley in everything are just hangers on who probably don't even know who Ridley is other than being some kind of purple space dragon from Metroid. The only reason people care is because it has reached meme status.
Sitting through those leaks today was made absolutely painful by the bullpomegranate focus on a character we already have confirmed is simply a boss again. They say Sakurai has been hinting at Ridley a lot. How? by showing Ridley's shadow and saying he "shows up from time to time" on that stage? by making an offhand comment about characters not being to scale?
The damn character showed up as a boss 4 times in the story mode of Brawl, more than any other. As far as i'm concerned that is more than enough representation for a character that simply wouldn't work as a playable fighter. I see no campaigns for Rayquaza in smash, despite him being a dragon who showed up as a boss as well.
This is my first time getting hyped for a smash game (Brawl was my first) and ever since this game has been announced i've been getting steadily more and more sick to death of hearing about Ridley all the time.
That being said, I would prefer Ridley to Dark Pit. what on earth is the point of that character?
