#82 to #70
82. Ridley
HOLY SHIT, LOOK AT HIM! HE'S HUGE! In fact, he's the biggest character in Smash Ultimate! This dragon means fucking business. He will piledrive your head right into the ground and then send you careening into hell faster than you can say Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers three times fast. Or one time, probably. DO NOT FUCK WITH THIS DRAGON, IT WILL KILL YOU.
81. Sephiroth
If One Winged Angel from Final Fantasy 7 started playing on full blast out of the blue, and I didn't know where it came from, I would instantly piss myself and my life would flash before my eyes... so I think Sephiroth deserves this spot.
80. Snake
This guy also looks like he means business--he's in all black, he's got bombs on him, he works for stealth corps... stay away from this man too if you aren't on his good side.
79. Ryu
DON'T FUCK WITH A MAN WHO HAS A BLACK BELT IN MARTIAL ARTS. Trust me, I'm still on the run from Sensei James after quitting his class.
78. Ken
I put Ken above Ryu solely because he has a funnier haircut.
77. Mewtwo
If you don't understand why I'm putting Mewtwo here, watch Detective Pikachu (2019) and then come back.
76. Zero Suit Samus
I missed an opportunity not putting Zero Suit Samus in 69, didn't I? Seriously, though, she's serious. She has a giant mech suit and if she CHOOSES to beat your ass instead, then it's probably not gonna be a good day for said ass.
75. Dark Samus
I would put this higher on the silliness scale than Samus for falling into the esteemed "does not need to exist" section of the Smash roster, but... I dunno, she looks pretty menacing...
74. Samus
Samus can probably kill you in one blast. Not you, as in your Smash main, Smash characters are strong--I mean you in real life. Think about that.
73. Mythra
I don't like thinking about Xenoblade, it makes me feel like an angry, balding Twitter gamer. And as for Mythra, I personally feel like taking a cold shower after just looking at her--she and Pyra are simply the quintessential examples of anime girls that grody, sweaty guys like to fawn over... but that doesn't mean anything in regards to how I feel about them! I just mean they're a little hard to talk about. But I'll get into these two anyway, just for you, internaut! ❤
72. Pyra
Listen, I'm writing these two particular entries while going back and finishing this list after E3 2021, and I've grown in terms of these lists since I first started writing this one after Min Min's debut! That means it's my responsibility to think about my placements a bit more. I put Pyra and Mythra this far down because, unlike a lot of the other characters on this list, I decided to look a bit into their roles in the game's story... and I ended up finding out that a lot of the game is about them searching for a way to die because they both feel like a burden to others. ...Jeez.
71. Richter
Listen, I haven't played any Castlevania games except for the one on NES, but I am led to believe that he has a chain, and I'm too scared to predict what he would do with it. Maybe kick our asphalt?
70. Kazuya
I tried to find out this guy's story by going to his wiki page, but holy fuck, believe me when I say Tekken lore is about as extensive as the Bible... in many different ways. So I'm just gonna put him above Richter because he looks real scary and I don't want him to hurt me! :(
