See, I think Sakurai would have revealed something- Even just a Ridley-shaped shadow- If he were a stage hazard. Fingers crossed he's just withholding him for a big announcement.

I sure said that!

I think Sakurai is just being a troll, personally. Deliberately holding off on showing the Ridley stage hazard.

Though, I also think he might not even be a hazard, let alone playable. You'd think we'd have at least seen him by now if he were.

I'm not wrong in thinking he's among the top wanted newcomers, am I?

That's got to play some role in whether they'd include him or not, wouldn't it?

Ridley is probably the #1 most requested newcomer, at least in the West. Though from what I know he was, like, the second most requested behind Dedede for Brawl in Japan.

I don't see why Ridley couldn't be put in as the newest biggest character on the Smash roster, seeing as how Bowser is already smaller than he usually appears in Super Mario Bros.. He could be comparatively similar to Project M!Bowser in terms of size to the other Smash fighters.

As the weeks go by, I'm starting to wonder if the Miipost was nothing more than a little reference to Ridley's surprise appearance (to Samus) in Other M. I won't hold my breath.

Pulse was referencing a statement from the old Dojo.

On Lucas's page, Sakurai said "Ness had been a fighter in Smash Bros. up until now."

Everyone interpretted it as "Ness is no longer a fighter in Smash Bros."

Amusingly, when Ness was revealed, Sakurai went out of his way to mention that Ness has been in every game and was pretty much a seniority shoe-in, almost as if he knew. Like a "Did you guys really think he was gone?" way.

Maybe this is why his punch is stronger in each game.

That's kind of cute, though I think Olimar is doing his Attack Order for his Pikmin and not a punch, hence his pointing.

Come to think of it, did Olimar even have a punch in Brawl? I recall the number of attacks without Pikmin being quite low.

His jab was the OLIMAR PUNCH he does in his games when not armed with Pikmin.

So is the pattern still holding? Lost World does come out in October.

Link to his page. This is awesome news!

At least now Mega Man has one of his crossover buddies in the game.

Okay, CPU match between Mario, Sonic, and Mega Man. It's time to decide who's truly the best!

Wow, we've gotten 3 characters revealed over less than a month, that's pretty good.

It appears there's a Lost World-based stage, too.

Random side note, but the stage representing Sonic seems to be inspired by the first area in Lost World, if the odd way the background looks is any indication.

In other news, poor Luigi. sad

Nope, pattern for "release dates only" is broken. No questioning that.

I can say that it holds for non-Guest fighters. tongue

Joking aside, I knew he'd come back. I mean, come on, he's a huge important gaming icon that spans across years with a huge amount of popularity. And not of just his first set of games, many of them have had fans.

Once Mega Man was in, seeing Sonic come back was obvious to me.
