Waiting for the update, I do hope they'll have Ridley's theme this time.
Well, due to the differences in proportions between Roidley and pretty much every other Ridley incarnation, making him swappable would mean making two different bosses. Not saying it's impossible, just unlikely.
Unless they have a remix of it too I doubt they're going to post it considering we've only heard unique remixes so far.
Honestly... I just want Ridley in the game because I am a fan of his character and I am interested in playing as one of Nintendo's most prominent antagonists. I could care less what the detractors believe or do not believe.
I'd be a little worried because the last time we were given Ridley's theme before the release of a Smash Bros. game, it indirectly disconfirmed him.
Late to catching up on here, but I absolutely love your take on Ridley's backstory, though still kinda think he should've taken Samus in/adopted her whilst having the rest of the K-2L colonists wiped out, instead of just trying to outright kill her... And since she was just a little girl at the time she wouldn't necessarily know he was behind the whole massacre, until maybe she got older. A Frieza and Vegeta kind of relationship I guess.Then let me ask you this: What is Ridley's DRIVE for joining the Space Pirates to destroy the Galactic Federation?
...Vengeance...Pure vengeance...According to Metroid's manual, Ridley was a native of Planet Zebes before the Chozos and the Galactic Federation colonized it....and Ridley is the last of his kind after the Galactic Federation launched a mass-genocide operation on Ridley's species....As for the reason...
A Possible reason is that the Galactic Federation wanted to remove the Space Dragons out of the way so that the GF can extract ZEBETITE from Zebes's mines......The Galactic Federation SOMEHOW publicized to the galaxy that Space Dragons are dangerous and must be eliminated.
The mass-genocide is only a "cover" for the GF's true intentions: Claiming Zebes and its mines.
Sure, Ridley has been doing missions here and there but all these missions were to bolster the Space Pirates forces and debilitate the Galactic Federation...A good example is the Metroid Manga: Ridley invades K-2L because:
1) Presence of Aflorotite, a powerful explosive ore that could be used in developing weapons
2) The mining colony is owned by the Galactic Federation....This is proven how Samus's father refused to share Aflorotite with the Chozos who visited K-2L.
I'm sure most of you guys have seen this pic
Even the mighty, ruthless Space Dragon hesitates to kill Samus....but decides to kill her anyways and here is a possible reason
Nintendo, you better start working on a new Metroid game...and if possible, let Ridley take the Protagonist spotlight for a change of pace....Sammy SERIOUSLY needs a vacation.Ridley ordered all of his soldiers to kill all civilians in K-2L before collecting the loot.....Samus encounters Ridley and asks him to be friends despite all that's happening around.
Ridley assumes that Samus's family has already died in the Pirate raid....and The Dragon feels remorse for the Little girl who is all alone in this world....So Ridley decides to kill her quickly and relieve her of the pain of living alone....Ridley knows this pain too well....He lost his family and kin when the Galactic Federation launched the mass-genocide operation on Zebes.
Samus's Mother pushes Samus out of the way and down a crevice from Ridley's Plasma Breath...but gets torched in the process.....While Samus's dad goes kamikaze and destroys the Aflorotite, engulfing the whole area in a huge explosion and burning everyone, including Ridley.
Now everyone keeps saying that Ridley ate Samus's parents...but it is NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL....Samus's mom got torched by Ridley plasma attack, and she was not wearing any protective armor.
Samus's dad got caught in the Aflorotite explosion that most likely reduced him to ashes. It IS likely that Ridley was fed
bio-matter to survive death but not from Samus's parents corpses since there were no corpses at all.
Ridley was most likely pissed off that the Aflorotite explosion messed up his spine and burned him half-to-death.
The Galactic Federation "corruption" could extend to other races, people, planets......The Space Pirates is, after all, an anarchy bend to destroy the elitist, tyrannical Galactic Federation....and there are almost infinite individuals out there who also, like Ridley, got hurt by the Galactic Federation and seek vengeance by joining the Space Pirates.
Could you give a link?
But the Pic of the Day's of the customisation of the Mii Fighter owo. Unless of course I'm looking in the wrong place.
Checked Miiverse director's room for Smash and normal smash miiverse, no sign of anything either, just going to assume trolling unless they link back to the source (they didn't even post the pic).
What? Both? Wouldn't it be better to not include boss Ridley then? That requires time and resources to make. Or its like a "challenger aproaching" at the end of the match? That doesn't makes any sense IMO. Anyway, sounds good to me, but i think it is fake and sounds weird.I'll take that as a no. Both the boss and the character are Roidley.

Did they manage to make his model not look awkward? What's the deal with the Pyroshpere stage boss situation? Does Sakurai or the team leave any nods to the blatant drama regarding him for the past years?
he looks great. hes flying mostly upright, with his arms and legs in a semi-crouched position, tail twitching behind him. hes the stage boss. he just enters in a cut-scene attacking whichever player is "winning" the match and then stays to fight one stock. Sakurai is away that he is highly requested in the west, thats why he is being treated this way.
Does Ridley suck? I don't want him op, just to not suck. I'll main him either way though.
he seems good. he feels like wolf to me.
Tell me more about ridley. I'm bored, **** it. here. basically, what design he is/based off, how he plays, alts, whatever you got
like the Other M design, but smaller and always flying. purple (default), red, green, brown, orange, black with red eyes.
Is Ridley the biggest character? How does he look next to Bowser?
Hes taller because hes in the air, but if he were standing in that same position he would be much smaller if you ignored his wings.
Omg what is Ridley's Final Smash?! Either you missed my question or you're ignoring it :/
Didn't see it asked. he grabs an opponent and takes them into the air, breaths fire and burns them for a while before slamming them HARD on the stage

Take it with a grain of salt.
Here's a link, but take discussion of Bowser Jr. and Dark Pit to the leak thread.
Everything else is from Other M, but better i guess. Bracelets and jet heels never appeared in any other game sin.
No. There is no Ridley that could replace him and we won't get Ridley as playable character. Only Roidley or Ridley with design based off Roidley's and no Hazardley. No other option is possible.
Or Ridley and Roidley as guest characters in Kirby Return to Dreamland game and being forced to "share"...
Then she would not get Chozo Power Suit and Space Pirates had nothing like that before (purple/pink Space Pirates is closest thing to it, but it just gives them better defense and Gravity Suit's traits). And Ridley would not like having a human in the crew anyway, being "superiour" (he is - a large space dragon is superiour to/than human unless that human has a power suit) and stuff like that.
Well, that party will have to wait a week or two on account of the crashing this forum will do.
Twitch plays super Metroid!
Probably, though refresh my memory, but has anyone ever had their theme music in a PotD, and then later been eventually confirmed? I'm guessing not, but just to be sure...
She could still get the Chozo DNA and all that, just it would happen at a later time than as a child, like when she eventually learns what really happens, so she quietly betrays Ridley and ends up meeting the Chozo during her quest in plotting against him, and they tell her what her real destiny is, etc. A sadistically manipulative Ridley that initially "made her life a lie" is just a concept I fancy, don't mind me.
Oh, that's some pleasant mental imagery, brain, thank you.
Nice way of putting it, it's a yin/yang kinda thing.
In Other M Ridley in his infant stage aka Little Birdie tricked the scientist into thinking he was dead, so Ridley could kill him and escape, being evil is just in his blood, there's nothing tragic about him.
What?
Screw Other M for ruining both Samus AND Ridley!
It's not really being "evil" as it is being strategic and intelligent. That is what seperates him from most of the other monsters that Samus meets, and that at the same time is what makes him so dangerous compared to them.
Just imagine it more as Ridley using her as food if there will be not enough incompetent Space Pirates left (Space Pirates are cannibals and most likely are tasty, so, even if Ridley is not from same species, he will still eat them if required) when they will have nothing left in fridge because Kraid was hungry and no one dared to stop him from getting to the fridge for obvious reasons. Then it becomes better and more fitting. Better than...that.
Looks more like he just likes to kill. It explains unnecessary massacre on Samus' homeworld since they could just steal that fuel and maybe conquer the colony instead of stealing the fuel while still killing everyone they see, just being more careful before they got that fuel to prevent some really unpleasant explosions. So, he either just likes to kill, he kills every inferious creature or both.
Other M actually turned Ridley into more than a boss. While it ruined Samus' nonexistent personality (What? She is still bada** and silent during gameplay and when everyone is dead/there is no one to talk with? Who cares?), it showed Ridley as intelligent and a creature as dangerous as metroids (or even station full of metroids) or even more dangerous than metroids and THAT is already something. MP1 and MP3 showed that, but not too much.
DeDeDe's theme wasn't officially revealed until after the game's release, and Meta Knight's Revenge was revealed after the E3 trailer, though admittedly before his character page was posted on the site.
Oh. Oh man.
Well as someone pointed out earlier, sympathizeable villains have become a sort of cliche now, so I simply posted my manipulative take on Ridley as an alternative.
Your fault for taking it that way.
We don't know how Ridley (the original) even became evil; the circumstances in which he did had to have been different from his more animalistic clone though at least. Plus the clone possibly having the original's memories and all that.
Basically more or less what I try to say every time someone claims that Other M ruined Ridley.. Well put.
Hm, I see... Thanks for the clarification.
JAPAN!?
We agreed that was Little Birdie as an item!
If Japan is the only country to have that direct, it probably means nothing
I'm pretty sure we're getting it too, Japan just tweeted it first.
Hope they announce America soon... Until then I'll spread the news on Miiverse. (I'll tell the logical people on Miiverse of course
)
Neither Nintendo of America or Nintendo of Europe (and their UK branch account) have tweeted about it yet.
This seems pretty legit
Can you add me to that list?
"Oh yes"
That was because it was tweetered by a fake NoA account.
