Ridley's Lair

Ridley's Lair

Ridley's lair is his signature stage in all of the 2D games. It usually consists of lava at the bottom of a room, walls at the side, and a platform in the centre.

His smash stage wouldn't be unlike this, and an addition, spikes on the ceiling add extra edge and incentive as not to touch them. They also can be used for combo's, as when you hit the spikes, you bounce off in opposite direction of what angle you hit them at, so if somebody thows you at a 90 degree angle upwards, you're going to come back down helpless, and open to a pounding.

There is only one way to be KO'd on this stage, and that's the lava. Of course, the lava is hot, so if you are falling down to doom, you will be singed and bounce off the lava, only to plummet back down to your death, with a small window of chance for recovery. This lava bounce could lead to edge guarding to prevent your successful recovery.

This level is designed with flyers in mind, as there is a bigger chance of recovery from the lava with them, and they can also maneuver their way around a lot more.

Small characters are also at an advantage, as there are a few nooks and crannies for them to sneak into and perform sneak attacks on. Fastfallers might have a few problems in this level, as it's designed against them; it's more difficult to recover from, and you'd get comboed faster on the spikes.

The Ridley Boss Battle music blares out on this stage, as to give it an aggressive edge and get the adrenaline flowing for an action packed battle.

It's a perfect stage for hardcore Brawling.

I like this idea. The only true problem I see with it is that there are spikes on the celings and the arena is surrounded by walls, which mean no one dies. That kind of sucks, but if this were decided, I figure Nintendo could work around that.

I did explain that you can die in the Lava.

Hi

 

[Zubyyyy]

I did explain that you can die in the Lava.

I understand you did, I just don't think thats a good way to set up a level. It's fun to Star KO and send people flying with hard-hitting attacks across the screen. I prefer those kinds of levels, just my opinion.

 

[Caael]

Well it's not like this is the only stage in Brawl. There's other levels for sky KOs. I specificaly made this with the idea of racking up huge damage in mind.

 

[Zubyyyy]

A stage where racking up damage is a good idea, and my first post was misunderstood by me. I get it now, and I like it, although the sky could be left open. I could deal with a few walls.

 

[Caael]

But you never fight Ridley with open sky in 2D games.

For God's sake chaos you're not getting it.

What's up with the linear thinking?

This stage idea is awsome.

Sure I do. I understand it perfectly. I am just saying I prefer an open sky to a closed area. I see this for a few reasons.

1. In the orginal and Melee, lots of attacks sent the players flying sideways and up. Only spike attacks and a very few number of other attacks sent players down, which in this stage idea is how they are eliminated.

2. With the large number of sideways attacks, players are going to bounce off the walls and come back towards the middle of the arena. How do they fall down now? If they continue to fall to the middle then its only harder to kill them.

Anyway, I just prefer an open sky. I like the idea of a closed stage as well, but I think some minor tweaking could be needed. All I am saying.

 

[Pieman0920]

I don't think that the lava in a close area would be a feasible idea. Even if the second fall would kill them, it's still not right. And while you never fight Ridley in the open sky, none of the Melee Metroid stages had open sky, so...yeah.

Anyways, I'd rather have a Ridley themed stage be the Chozo ruins, as not only would that not be another cave stage, but would also represent the Chozo.

 

[Shadowplusle]

The idea for the ridley stage would be great but i think the chozo ruins would be cooller like stated above

 

[smash_fo_life]

if there were no sides it woould b easier 2 kill ppl

I cant please everybody. If you dont like stages without sky, then dont play on them. Simple as.



I will say it ONE last time.


THE IDEA OF THIS STAGE IS TO BUILD UP LOTS OF DAMAGE, NOT FOR QUICK MATCHES

 

[Shadowplusle]

what game was that in that shows link mario and ridley in one area

-_-

And Caael, I think you should add horizontal kills to the sides, or it just wouldn't be a Smash stage.

 

[Shadowplusle]

still a stage that adds so much damage would have the characters flying all over the room. it would be funny

 

[Caael]

Fine, you can be knocked out of the doors to die.

Happy now?

 

[Legolastom]

That door thing is a good idea for a harder KO XD but if the opponents damage is high enough and you send them crashing into the roof the spikes should send them flying right back down into the Lava.

Good one Caael!

 

[Caael]

Shoop da woop!
