Does Sakurai listen to us?*SPOILERS*

[Jono2]

Ridley was one of the most wanted characters in japan as well.

sakurai probably thought Ridley was too big. But still, he put Charzard (big) in. Maybe he thought Ridley was only meant to be a boss.

he was about samus' size in melee.  he wasn't too big.

he downsized bowser considerably. he couldve pulled it off with brawl with Ridley....

what?

look at the melee intro.  ridley is samus' size.  bowser is considerably bigger than samus.  ridley would have worked.

America wanted Sonic more than Japan?

No, I don't think he really cares what we think. He knows that every person with a Wii will buy this game anyway, whether or not their favorite character is in.

[tollhouse2006]

You guys have to admit that Ridley is more of choice as a boss than a playable.  They had the stage of the BOSS battle and the BOSS music.  I thought Ridley would be a guarantee as playable but not all dreams come true.  And I believe Sakurai said this quote in an interview after discussing the roster.  "Not All Nintendo Fans Will Be Happy."

Sonic isn't american made X_X;;

And no, Nintendo doesn't listen to America. If they did, Wii would have good online, at least an optinoal hard drive for download stuff, and less minigame crap and more good stuff like No More Heroes

You're making America look superior. No one likes Americans for a reason. Look at the show "The Amazing Race". People view Americans as fatties who shove their way through crowds and stuff. Makes us look greedy and such.

... *runs away*

did u just figure that out? i understand that furfilling the wants of his home country is sakurai's first priority, but i felt during the whole process of making the game us Americans were always unheard.

Ridley, Geno & Krystal were some of the most wanted characters in JAPAN.

it's not just americans he's ignoring, it's most of the userbase.  he decided who would be in on his lonesome.

that doesn't make sense. sakurai's main goal was to make as amny fans as happy as possible. apparently he meant the Japanese

and he left out Geno & Ridley, two of the most requested characters.  Also Mewtwo and Roy, both of which had large followings (especially mewtwo).

He chose the characters that would make the biggest splashes.  just because someone says something doesn't mean that they're telling the truth, mate.

ROB and Ice Climbers (who weren't important at all before Melee) got in while Ray 01, Bowser Jr., Krystal, Ridley, and a Square-Enix rep didn't.  That should be all the evidence you need to realize that this isn't what we want, it's not what Japan wants, and it's not what Europe wants:  IT'S WHAT SAKURAI WANTS.

[Oren]

nope i really don't think he listens to us at all

[Cakeman]
