Sad to see c haracters that have taken part in 5 contests and never had a win! We should make the bracket next time so all these characters get at least a win!

Jak would've gotten his in 2013 if the rally hadn't happened.

A lot of those characters are extremely weak, though, and are unlikely to get it without extreme luck in the bracket placement.

Ridley is the real odd one out there. Edgeworth, Cecil, and Ramza look like they might have a chance with a good draw, but Ridley has just had the misfortune to almost always draw something strong in Round 1.

Spring 2005: 42.35% on Diablo in Round 1 as the higher seed. Diablo winds up in the Final Four, however, and Ridley finishes 10th in the X-Stats
2007: Gets in a fourway with Leon Kennedy, Vivi, and Spyro. Easily beats out Spyro but finishes third behind Leon and Vivi.
2010: Gets only enough nominations to reach vote-ins, and a surprisingly high number of characters with legitimate strength fell to the vote-ins; Ridley finishes fourth in his vote-in (with the top two finishers in his vote-in both winding up reaching Round 3), which is enough to get him into the bracket, but as a 16-seed. That means an immediate date with a Noble Niner, and he performed better than expected but most people just chalked it up to Cloud being an anti-vote magnet.
2013: 43.23% of the vote in a threeway, which would be more than enough to win a lot of matches. Unfortunately for Ridley, it's not even close to first place (Zidane Tribal) as the third-place finisher barely broke 5% and was in fact one of the characters chosen for the "Worst of the Worst" bonus match to fill the 12 hours between the end of Round 1 and the beginning of Round 2.
2018: Again he sets a new high in percentage, getting 43.34% in a 1v1 with Big Boss.

The only one that seems even remotely disappointing is the Diablo loss, and even that isn't horrible because Blizzard didn't really start sucking in contests until a few years after that match. Ridley definitely needs to find an opponent that's not from a major franchise; his last four losses are MGS, FF, FF, and RE/FF.
