Ridley in Brawl.

That very well may be Sakurai trying to pretend he cares about the Prime series, lol.

Well, he doesn't need to care about the prime series to put Ridley in brawl.

True. If his fans want it, his fans should get it. Sakurai is Dad, and the gamer population is the spoiled brat. : D


What I don't get is that while Metroid is so unpopular in Japan, Ridley tied for 2nd place in the polls...?

I think its because might still remember the classic Metroids? (I believe they weren't unpopular) And thus they still understand the awesomeness that is Ridley.

Ridley is a godly antagonist, no?

You don't have to play every Zelda game to know who Ganandorf is, Tyler. And most importantly, you don't need to LIKE every Zelda game to like Ganandorf, that is, if Ganandorf is a dragon that looks freaking awesome.

Hit the nail on the head right there. And the Japanese understand how awesome Ridley is.

Exactly. And the Ridley that is most likely to be in brawl isn't from prime, he's from super metroid, which was popular in japan correct?

I think I do remember reading an article on classics that made it huge in Japan (one of which was Super Metroid), so I see why he could be so popular. So yeah.

[LevesqueIsKing]

I would assume the original Metroids were more popular there than the Prime series, yes.

Would it add to the argument that the screenshot of Super Metroid in the Masterpieces update shows, of all possible images, Samus and Ridley fighting?
