For the entirety of the Super Smash Bros. series, Samus has been the only playable character representative of the Metroid franchise. This wasn't unusual in the first entry on N64, but while other series gained playables throughout the SSB games, Samus remained alone. Her stripped form, Zero Suit Samus, came to appear via Final Smash transformation in Brawl, however.
This was originally going to be a Metroid characters thread like I've done in past for other series, but honestly, Ridley slaughters all others and is the only one with any conceivable chance or reason to appear as playable. So here it stands…
Ridley certainly is an interesting case considering his stats, the most notable being his size. This can easily be seen even inside the Super Smash Bros. games, such as the intro of Melee and as a boss in Brawl. *pictures below*
Ridley's entrance in the series would be far from simply for the sake of it. After all, he means just as much to the Metroid series as Samus does. Ridley is one of few characters I support for a playable SSB4 appearance. What are your thoughts on the matter?
