A deserving win. One of the few characters who still feels missing from Smash 4 and like they'd have an incredibly unique playstyle. I really hope he ends up being in the game.

Bio
Ridley is a high-ranking Space Pirate, the archenemy of Samus Aran, and one of the most common recurring characters in the Metroid series, appearing in almost every Metroid game. Ridley’s appearance is considered similar to a skeletal dragon with glowing eyes. Ridley is known for being very defiant and persistent; though Samus has defeated him many times, he always manages to return and do battle with her, either through his healing abilities or robotic enhancements. As such, Ridley is fittingly referred to as the Cunning God of Death in his Zero Mission official art. Ridley is considered the main antagonist of the series, despite not typically acting as such in any individual games.

Despite his fearsome and bestial appearance, Ridley is known to be highly intelligent and is shown to even be capable of speaking in the manga; with his intelligence, he was also evidently capable of building a synthetic construct made in his own image. He is known to have a bloodthirsty personality and takes great personal enjoyment in destruction.

Yeah boy! Ridley Ridley Ridley!

Of course it was Ridley! Ridley is a big deal and the MOST debated topic in the Smash world outside of casual vs competitive. Come on Sakurai if he isn't in the starting roster give us some DLC!

Yup, these alts are fantastic.

Really digging Toon Link's, Rosa's black and gold, Peach's black and gold and the WFT's colours.

Really well done.

Wireframe Mac looks sick too. Mind you. Famitsu is only showing 8 alts, all of Lil' Mac's 16 are absent, so other fighters may have more.

I thought someone said no one admitted voting for Ridley...yet he wins first place? He must have been stuffing the ballot box along with Ice Climbers and Snake!

The black/gold Peach costume looks cool.

About Pacman's lack of variety, I wonder if there was some sort of rule that the color and eyebrows COULD NOT be changed.

Charizards colors almost make up for Lucario's.

Agreed.
I still don't get why Pac-man had to be yellow in every alt. I get other characters having to be a color because that's all they've canonically been, but there's a popular Pac-man arcade game that has light blue, pink, and red Pac-man.
 
Fox's "Wolf" color doesn't match at all. Fur is too dark and the color scheme is all wrong.

Yeah I thought the same thing. There's no version of Wolf that works with that color.
Star Fox 64's (and SF2's for that matter) Wolf has an orange vest with an eyepatch (instead of a visor), and every other incarnation (Assault, Command, Brawl) has a blue vest and a cyan eyepiece, not a pink one.
The only purple parts ever were in the Brawl version, and there it was on the boots and gloves, not the vest or eyepiece, both of which also were blue.
And on all versions the grey in the fur is much lighter.

It honestly looks closer to a Command Krystal alt than any Wolf:

Why did you quote the whole post? It's way too big.

Also, the outfit doesn't match Dark Pit's color scheme in various ways. It's just pure black.

Huh? No. He has the purple scarf jewel, gold around the bracelets, etc. It's basically Dark Pit's outfit. Well, the Gold might actually be Silver now, but I can't be sure due to the low resolution.

When Smash Bros. 5 is announced it will be under the guise of a Metroid trailer featuring a showdown between Samus and Ridley before the logo shows up at the end of it.
