I love you all to death (Just so I can smash bros with you) (SSBWiiU/3DS)

[Zero Kirby]

The problem with Ridley as a character is that a lot of his personality and lore are unwritten in the games.

Essentially this. Ridley - in the games, and in my post I even said in the games - doesn't say anything. Isn't seen doing anything. Doesn't even seem all that intelligent. They don't even talk about his apparently fantastic leadership skills in the Pirate logs, just something like, "oh, I think he'll like a job where he eats people" offhandedly at one point. That's the only thing I can remember where they talk about Ridley being a personality. Otherwise, he just seems like a monster space dragon. Kind of annoying, really, if he's supposed to be Samus' greatest nemesis (though I'll admit I wish he'd just stay dead - he's died like six times by now this is getting ridiculous). Compared to Rundas who gets lines, a couple lore dedicated to who he is, and interacts with Samus a couple times that gets you liking him. Also voiced by Christopher Sabat which gets instant points.
