Also... Bayonetta was made for Smash. It'd have been the perfect way to solidify her new Nintendo-exclusive position as well as be the coolest character on the roster.

Like I said, looking at polls and forum posts in Japan, they don't seem to care about Ridley at all. Meanwhile, they DID desperately want characters like Dark Pitt and Palutena (and Miku, but that's probably their equivalent of Goku). Mewtwo was their equivalent of Ridley.

I think there's been enough outcry from the English communities that Nintendo must have taken notice, but that doesn't mean they should add someone to the game just because there's a vocal minority screaming for him. They probably considered Ridley even back for Brawl and just decided he wouldn't fit (no pun intended). Frankly, I'm surprised how many people thought he had any chance of making it in.

Bayonetta not being included was obvious too, for the same reasons she wasn't in Sonic All Stars Racing. They obviously have no problems including characters from more mature franchises, but when a characters whole thing is undressing while using her attacks and acting incredibly sexual, I think they'd probably be crossing a line. She would have worked really well, but it was just never going to happen.

Dixie Kong would have been cool as well, but I'd blame her not making it on Tropical Freeze being relatively too recent. Same with Captain Toad, who I'm sure would otherwise have been one of the first newcomers.
