Not saying that Medusa wouldn't make the cut per se... but she doesn't have a ton of moves, not even in Kid Icarus: Uprising. Heck, Pandora (remember her? Third boss in the original Kid Icarus?) would have more to cull from regarding attacks than her. Same with Phosphora, Thanatos, Magnus, or even Dark Lord Gaol. For that matter, almost all of those (sorry, Gaol) contributed more to the plot of Uprising than Medusa did. Not saying that they wouldn't just create a moveset out of whole cloth, of course - Captain Falcon is proof that they would. Just I think it'd be much easier to adapt one of the other major players from Uprising instead of Medusa.
As for Viridi looming in that screen shot... doing codecs similar to Snake and Fox does sound realistic (given that she'd have particular dialogue for what weapon class you brought into stage in her first appearance, plus a few stage-specific actions... not to mention that she prompted the classic quote "Floor ice cream gives me health!"). That said, especially since we're talking about the Reset Bomb stage (where she was the overall looming threat), I bet she'll act similar to Palkia and Dialga on Spear Pillar and periodically summon mooks to function as stage hazards. Her love of Bumpity Bombsknows no bounds, and she certainly has no issues with dropping more enemies into areas.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.I recognized the background as being from the Reset Bomb forest, but I haven't played Uprising (yet) so I only know it's Viridi from the Miiverse comments.
Most of whom are also talking about the Palutena leak(?).

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."Yeah, the thing I always wonder about leaks like this, is if they were actually put up by someone with inside information on the game, why would we just get a couple of pictures without context, and why does no one seem to know where they originated?

🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaOkay, I might get pelted for this / thrown in a volcano / be eaten alive by Yog-Sothoth / Gannonbanned, but here it goes.
I want to see Ridley.
As a stage hazard.
And as an assist trophy.
And as an adventure mode boss.
And as a playable character.
I mean, seriously, think about it. Why pick one option for Ridley when you can just pick ALL options? I mean, have Meta-Ridley be an assist trophy, have Other M Ridley be a stage hazard and have Melee intro sequence Ridley be playable. Maybe also throw in Neo-Ridley, the X-parasite Ridley clone. Oh, and also have Ridley be a regular trophy, sticker, trading card, the Final Smash for everyone as well as an alt costume for everyone. Oh, and a stage where you ride on top of Ridley while being attacked by Ridley, with as a stage hazard Ridley.
Signatures are for lamers.

I'm not too hopeful for Ridley, given the comment accompanying the screenshot of the Other M stage on Miiverse. I guess if we're lucky the "old foe" of Samus's will be Fiery Jeff.
