the shadows pretty much confirm him
Still I wouldn't be 100% sure I'm only at 80%. 10 comes from the fact that Ridley has been extremely wanted since Melee, 5 from that fact he was teased as a boss, and 5 because popular characters like Waluigi and Chrom weren't added.

Have some concept art of Dark Meta Ridley.
I know im really behind, but its cuz i was away for a bit, but anyway, this concept art isnt for dark meta ridley, it was for a concept in metroid prime which was scrapped in which the chozo got ahold of ridley and outfitted him with their technology, which is why his wings are feather like and he has a birds beak

Y'know how Fire Emblem has 4 reps now? Maybe Metroid's getting Riddles and Rhundas or Sylux or someone.

I kid you not, they never explained it.
They have. In the beginning of development, everyone was excited to be making a new Metroid, for the Wii. As development furthered, some things began to become apart to some of the designers. Minor things at first, Samus talked. Slowly, she started talking more, and saying things we would not expect her to. Ridley started taking steroids, nobody said anything because, would you argue with a giant purple space dragon? The changes continues, the story being overly dramatized without needing to be, and having a chain of incredibly dumb side characters. The fps style game-play of Prime which encouraged exploration, slowly changing into a linear action adventure. At one point they took a look and saw what had become of it, and tried to change it back. The money, said no. In shame, they renamed the title, Other M, deeming is so far off from the rest of the franchise, they needed to distinguish it as, The Other Metroid.

Or, that's what I like to believe, :p

Tiki's Trophy had Id~ Purpose play over it, which was Robin's theme in FE: A.

Psuedo-Palutena's trophy had KId Icarus's main theme, which Sakurai says could be seen as Palutena's own theme.

King Kihunter's trophy have VS Ridley play over it.

Fi's trophy had the Ballad of the Goddess remix, which includes parts of Ghirahim's theme.


Now I'm not saying to go out and buy all the tin foil you can, guys...

Is it weird that with clone Lucina I find Dark Pit extremely likely now?
No, but it sure makes Dark Samus's deconfirmation even more... disappointing. We can have clones like them but not Dark Sammy? All still forgivable if we get Ridley though of course, but you know.

Y'know how Fire Emblem has 4 reps now? Maybe Metroid's getting Riddles and Rhundas or Sylux or someone.
Let's not get into pre-Brawl levels of optimism here. Again, we didn't get Dark Samus, so why would we get those guys, even if we got Ridley?

4+ Reps for Everyone!

The Smash Roster will never be TOO BIG for any franchise anymore!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY EQUALITY.


Oh if only that had some semblance of possibility without Smash becoming a MUGEN... Oh well. :ohwell:

Oh my gosh... the seams are sowing together now to make the best smash bros roster in history. Spread the word to the interwbes, copy and paste it on 5 youtube videos to get kissed on the nearest possible friday! Just get the word out!

I''m fine with any of the Prime Hunters. I have an odd nostalgia for that game, as it was the first Metroid I ever played (don't judge ;-;). It was the one that got me into the rest of Metroid games.

I can honestly see that happening, with the exception of one-off characters, like M.G&W, Ice Climbers, etc.

I really doubt that RIdley is going to be in Smash 4. People keep trying to say that Sakurai confirmed him as a playable character in this Nintendo Direct. If he was playable, why would Sakurai tease him when talking about bosses. It's really basic logic. If you still believe that this confirmed Ridley as being playable, then you are just in denial.

Bah, Rosalina is a cosmic single mom, and that's how I like it. She don't need no man/woman/something in her life. Besides, no ship is safe as long as I'm here.

I thought you were better than that Ike considering you have inside information and are part of the roster yourself.

good enough, but Sakurai has given us tons of stuff to speculate with and with pretty much nothing to argue against it
Here's what I have so far that's definite

Against Ridley - Sakurai implied Ridley was a stage hazard/Metroid series has been kinda dead lately

For Ridley - Sakurai is the biggest troll on his half of the planet and mine/Ridley hasn't been explicitly deconfirmed yet/All other decent metroid characters (read: Dark Samus) not playable

Does it confirm Ridley? No. Do I like Ridley's chances? yes.

the main problem with that argument being that Sakurai knows Ridley is highly requested and the fact he didn't name Ridley

Want to question Ridley's validity as a fighter? Fine, sure.

But don't go calling people "in denial". There are many ways to voice your opinion without antagonizing a community. @Jerry Applesauce does a fine job of it.

Sakurai is listening to fans that don't live in the East and hasn't called Ridley out by name, just like with Palutena

You cannot hold back the power of internet shippings. Especially when these exist.

Sakurai teases characters all the time. It was a large discussion topic a lot of pages back.

Those would fall under the Not explicitly deconfirmed and huge troll pros.

I'm not giving popularity or the fact that metroid needs another rep any weight because brawl, and because the series is kinda dead atm. Plus those points don't matter since we know Ridley's in the game in some form.

So what I'm hearing you say is that you're a pirate...

AHA!
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.

I don't know what's gotten into me all of sudden...

I'm so sorry.

Uh oh, haters gonna hate.

What say, to flood or not to flood that scumbag's image page with comments? (the already existing comments are pretty cancerous too) Even though I'd normally say those kind of people aren't worth it, it's somewhat tempting with what we got going for us now. D:

Fair enough. I love having a discussion like this

Easy mistake as the title doesn't have the word support in it

Thank you, really...but well....I have no problem when I post these drawings here.....but now the entire internet is going to see it...it gets me nervous.....
even non Ridley supporter like it, and a talented lady should never be nervous of showing her talent!

my god, does it sound like I'm trying to hit on Andrea?

Oh, I apologize. I though this was a discussion thread. Excuse me for being blind to that.
HALP I DUN GOOFD AGAIN
