Good points! Hype! :laugh:
(Even if he doesn't get a reveal trailer or something, he could be a secret. But I doubt Ridley would be a secret.)
I think Ridley will get a trailer and he'll be unlockable. It would be a huge missed opportunity to not give such a requested character a trailer.

Sakurai may have said that he is reaching the bottom of the newcomer trailers but that doesn't mean we can't get multiple newcomers in one trailer like we did for Robin and Lucina. Imagine if there are 3 newcomer trailers left.

One could be for Ridley that also confirms Falco.

The other could be a Donkey Kong trailer where we get King K.Rool and Dixie Kong. (Please Sakurai we need more Dk characters!)

The 3rd one could be a Zelda trailer that announces Ghirahim (Que BlueBubbee saying "Never") with revamped Ganondorf, or a trailer that announces Shulk.

I believe that during the next General direct, we will get 2 newcomer trailers, Shulk at the start to appease all the Japanese fans for when the game comes out. And to end it off, SUPRISE, RIDLEY!

Looks like we're not getting a direct on the 12th.

@ WayfaringElf WayfaringElf let's go with that Kanden avatar :D :D :D :D
I remember a few pages back people said they revealed directs around noon, not very early in the day. Can anyone back me up here? Stall for as long as possible. Please help me.

Possibly the funniest POTD so far. It's got a lot going for it.


Well I think it was Ridley so he is biggest secret characters by Sakurai
If you're talking about what broke the wall, it was Captain Falcon.

He's standing right where the explosion happened, so not Ridley

So I'm just skimming down the thread so I can get to the newest page and I see my name. This must be my cue.


Never.



The Ghirahim jokes are all in good humor, don't take the building gifs to heart.




UNRELATED

I did think up a decent size for Ridley, I may edit some sort of picture together later if you want. What I had in mind is to have him around the size of Giga Mac.



Of course have him hunched over a bit like Giga Mac. If you wanted him to stand tall he'd be taller than Mac here.

You can't say I didn't hold my end of the deal. I am no longer Kanden, Doodle Bob Me Hoy Minoy!

I am either expecting a direct announced later today or a robin reveal this week.

We must destroy all non-Ridley purple things in existance....Ok, Waluigi can stay because you all love him for some reason.
I don't like him...so...TARGET TERMINATION IN PROGRESS...
I guess its simple. We go kill Batman too because he had purple gloves once. Captain Falcon is an exception because he keeps manliness balance of the universe.

Captain Faclon isn't purple, Captain Falcon is colour itself! And I noticed WayfaringElf has cheated death by making a doodlebob profile pic. Classy

They could always announce a direct later in the day, didn't they do the same for other directs.

Guys, look what I found on the coro tv thing!

WE DID IT
Who's betting that Ridley's reveal trailer will be made by the same people who did the CGI cutscenes for Metroid Other M?

It happened before with the studio that did the CG for FE: A for Robin and Lucina, with the animation studio for Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Ugh. I want it to be done by Retro honestly with a Prime look too it. (a man can dream)

I doubt it. At this point, it seems to be a pipe-dream.

We're definitely getting the Other M look.

It's certainly possible. It's quite fun to see the Smash characters in a different artstyle like Captain Falcon in FE: Awakening's artstyle.

But the April Direct Pokemon trailer was just like the CGI in the Smash 4 announcement trailer so who knows. Only Sakurai knows.

It's possible, but is the CG style of Metroid Other M really distinct enough from the typical CG used for character reveals for something like that? I mean, with the trailers for Little Mac, Palutena, and Robin, each one had a very unique, stylized trailer based on their original games. Now, I haven't played Other M, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but looking at the cutscenes, it seems like it's not very stylized. In this case, I think they'd just use the standard reveal trailer CG for Ridley's trailer.

Prime didn't really have cutscenes like that per say, it almost always used the game's actual engine to run it, I don't feel like it has a unique artstyle to it because of that. I'd like to see the gritty and very light sensitive Other M cinematic artstyle, I personally don't have a problem with that.

Doubtful. Two instances does not a pattern make.

Other M's CG cutscenes, particularly those that contained some of the villains like Mother Brain (in flashback) and Ridley, had a very photorealistic, grim style in its design, in contrast to the Smash Bros cutscenes that we've seen so far, which were lighthearted in nature. Compare Samus in Other M to how she appears in, say, Greninja's trailer.

It's not a guarantee, but it is something that could theoretically happen. If Nintendo wanted to troll Metroid fans into thinking that this was a teaser for a new game, then this is the route that they would go.
