People have been wanting Ridley in Smash Bros since Brawl, until in Ultimate where he is finally a playable character. Sakurai didn't originally want to include Ridley in Smash because of his gigantic size, but after heavy requests, they put him in the game, but they made him smaller. Shadow is still an Assist Trophy once again in Ultimate. King K. Rool was actually one of the characters I wanted in Smash, and when he was confirmed in Ultimate to be playable, I was happy.
