I am so happy to see most of you guys so optimistic! =) when I saw that portion of the direct I literally said god dammit out loud lol. Ofcourse I am very thankful to you all for bringing some very solid points to the table in Ridley's favor! I hope more than anything else that he get confirmed as a newcome JUST for your support and patients! cheers! =)

Because of recent occurrences, I've decided that instead of Ridley a new tag team character titled "Big Bosses" would be more fitting. The tag team consists of Ridley and Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid. Big Boss will ride Ridley for better mobility. Having both characters will allow for more moveset possibilities, and will better balance the cast. Here is a demonstration of my vision.

Lolol, found this on tumblr:



If Samus has to look Silly, then so should Ridley.


Oh my goodness AngelGlory continues to be the best to no one's surprise. My favorite part is Metal Gear ROY though, lol.

Metal Gear ROY...

Sometimes I wonder if you are even a human. You just exceed every level of awesome any human could possibly reach.

BTW I also noted the "MARTH" on his leg. Pfffft.

I think the simple solution is that Ridley's SHADOW is the stage hazard.

Like Dark Samus and Dark Link is opponents in Brawl? I mean just a purely black recolor of the playable character...that would be a good idea...
I was thinking more like Peter Pan

Ridley wasn't looking one day and his shadow escaped him

Now he has entered the smash arena to track it down

one thing that hurts ridley is it seems gliding is out, would that be one of his main things?

Yes...if you meant that "if there is no gliding in ssb4, then would it be one of Ridley`s main abilities (or something like that)" or "if there is no gliding in ssb4, then would it make ridley worse".

And i think i should post another drawing soon...maybe...why not?..?..?..?..

Not really I think the only time we ever saw Ridley gliding was in Metroid Prime, pretty comprehensible since most of the Ridley fights take place indoor, limiting his aerial mobility.
To be honest I'm more scared about Mario's new fireballs.

Was just looking at Mega Man's Final Smash and was thinking how cool would it be if Ridley got something simular. All his forms attacking at once.

I know your always looking for idea's AndreaAC so that might be a really cool thing to draw. lol Be neat to see little NES Ridley there with all those big Ridley's.
xD i had thought the same about the Ridley's Final Smash being like Mega man's, well now i have an excuse to give Omega another try...even if im still with fear...but let's see how it comes out!

@BaganSmashBros IT LOOKS AWESOME! GOD, i mean i draw Brawl Ridley most of the time, i could never make Roidley look that AWESOME! and it is just the head! :3 congratulations!

@Ridley_Prime I think that is why im glad Ridley does not get humanized that often...

This is only one case. We don't really know that, yet. If Palutena isn't playable, then he sure as hell jerked us around there, too.

Also, if you watch the direct, there are quite a few assist trophies from brawl shown that hadn't been deconfirmed as characters yet (samurai gorah, starfy, Lyn),but those weren't really speculated to be playable. However, a few that have better chances (think isaac) weren't shown.

We just don't know enough to make such sweeping statements
Samurai Goroh, Starfy and Lyn were all shown as assist trophies

I don't personally care if Ridley makes Smash 4 or not but I'm also of the view that there was something fishy with that part of the Direct. Or, to be frank, it was kind of troll. Like the Palutena part.

So I wouldn't be surprised at all if we get another Direct where Sakurai is all like "hey look, the stage boss was Meta Ridley, and actually Ridley is playable".

So something i noticed in the Direct was during the custom movesets section- It looked like Kirby's inhale was the Ice Climbers' Blizzard. Maybe that means Mario's fire balls weren't actually Mario's- maybe it was Ridley's? Just a thought....

It looked more like PK Freeze to me. Maybe you can modify the element of your attack?

I always imagined Ridleys neutral B would be a slow homing fireball, so when I saw that I thought something similar.
