I just want to say that I never really thought about Ridley being in Smash 4 until I saw all of the videos and this thread, and mostly because of this thread, my roster has transformed into this:

Exact same thing happened to me. I hadn't even considered Ridley before Sakurai hinted at him with his shadow. Because of that Direct I'm now actually sort of active in the community, a huge Metroid fan, and really want Ridley in the next game.

If Other M was placed before Zero Mission, Samus's freakout at Roidley would've made even less sense than it already did.
If Other M was placed before Zero Mission, Samus's freakout at Roidley would make perfect sense, still running off the trauma of his attack on K2-L. Which, I'll remind you, was actually inserted into the scene as the trauma she was recalling! :facepalm:

(unless he's a stage hazard and can grab characters out of the air)

Apparently even the Metroid wiki says that Crocomire died in a pool of lava, not the acid that it clearly is. Does anyone know what the proper steps would be to edit that? Should I mention the proofs, or just replace the word "lava" with "acid", or what?

Ironically enough if @Ridley_Prime hadn't told @Yoshi-Thomas not to ship them I never would've approved this, seeing as how I missed the original Ship Request. :p

So really it's all the fault of thanks to @Ridley_Prime that this was able to happen! :awesome:
I don't think I've ever seen you NOT approve of anything so I think it's pretty safe to say that all ships are Soulless Approved by default.

Not that they get very far with Murasa lurking in the waters...

"Do girls like it when you bring them the corpse of their enemy?

I think I should do that

Also what are girls?"

Alternatively

"I am caught between a love triangle between two brothers, one is big and muscular and totally adorable but the other is a space dragon, also they're actually clones and one is a human due to shenanigans involving a fashionable yet, Dusty, Pumpkin."

New movie coming in 20XX

I guess just edit it to acid, and if they ask for proof, then show all the facts.

My greatest fear is that Sakurai is terrified to reveal that Ridley is a stage hazard because of the toxic environment surrounding him. It's not unheard of for developers to get death threats. Hell, he's probably seen several already. Sakurai is just going to quietly let people discover that he's not playable via the 3DS version and then he'll flee the country.
They will still find it out and be EVEN MORE PISSED OFF. So, i don't see any reasons for that to be why he didn't revealed his role.
EDIT: i now got next post from DreadToaster - it didn't showed up before...

Well, apparently the Super Metroid Nintendo Player's Guide refers to the substance as superheated lava. So, despite the differing appearance, different effects, different audio files, and basically looking and acting much more like acid than lava, according to canon, it is a lava variant.

My bad, guys.

I'm pretty sure that this happens to all well-known content creators. That, and people sending death threats over a character not being playable is hilarious and should probably be shown off on twitter to all the world.
Besides, if he IS playable he will get death threats from the people that DIDN'T want him in.

Having Ridley playable is a Win for both sides. We (The Ridley supporters) get Ridley in the game after wanting him in the game since the reveal and the haters get their punching bag in training mode. But they'll still whine that he's in the game over one time characters like Rundas and Sylux, both of which whilst cool (is that a pun I see?) don't have a lot to do with the series at this point in time. Rundas was a temporary ally and boss in Prime 3 and Sylux was one of the playable Hunters in Prime Hunters with a possible appearance at the end of Prime 3 which hasn't been extended upon yet. Whereas Ridley pretty much made Samus what she is during his raid on her planet.

Look at all this support, its just crazy this much demand, this much passion.

This can only end in a great victory or a devastating loss.

I can attest that the Science Team has, in fact, had vapor for brains at one point. Luckily they reworked the safety regulations to avoid such nonsense from happening again.

Or in more ships than Andrea has AC gifs for to react to angrily.

Surely that trailer must be announced someday. I mean, 3 or so weeks left? And there is still at least one trailer. Come on Sakurai, bless us with those heavenly words and just give the damn trailer already.

Not all of those instances were due to safety issues.

Some of it was disciplinary action, after all.

We'll get a trailer the week before, count on it.

I'm just hoping we get one this month as well.

I love the new title of this thread.

And since I'm here, I'll also say that I support Ridley. I already wanted him pre-Brawl, but, well...

We should and hopefully get a Nintendo direct soon... Plus it would be nice if Ice Climbers or Lucas were revealed tomorrow. Especially Ice Climbers. I feel like they're a shoe in due to the Polar Bear Pic of the day being removed shortly after being shown accidentally.

Give me a badass Ridley trailer so we can all rejoice!

Also Ridley does love, he's just incredibly narcissistic and is a completely hardcore tsundere who happens to show his love through violence most of the time also he's really into BDSM because of his penchant for violence. :p

I'm definitely making a mistake trying to predict Sakurai but I feel that if he were to show us Ridley's fate he would do it this month for two reasons.

1. The Pyrosphere pic was this month last year although he didn't crush us by saying he was a stage boss yesterday. Might be an irrelevant point but I'll keep it.

2. August and Metroid pretty much go hand in hand with several Metroid anniversaries in August. Most of which are in the coming week. So why not do so on one of those days? Answer: Sakurai is a Troll.

So we should learn his fate very soon. Can't say it'll definitely be good but this thread and several other videos on the subject have me confident Ridley is playable.

Eh, that doesn't really count. I mean, then every department has had vapor for brains at some point.
Come to think of it, killing of capable but occasionally clumsy members seems like a waste of manpower. Well, at least Ridley eats them. I guess it gives the janitors something to do other than swabbing the mess halls.

What about Ridley Support Thread x IsmaR?
It's probably a love/hate relationship.

Sure Ridley loves. It's his own brand of love. Like this chocolate tart beside me! I love it, it makes me so happy. But in order to love it truly, I must devour it. Now just imagine a tart that begs for mercy while you eat it too! That is Ridley's love for us. He loves and accepts us, detractors and supporters alike! So remember, next time a toobigot says his catch-phrase, just say "I accept your opinion. And so does Ridley."

Also his mouth is not filthy. As the resident Space-pirate biologist, I can attest that it would be a personal failure of mine should his mouth not be in ideal working order. It's actually quite minty-fresh!

So does he love the flavor, the pain, or the fear?

They're called "Etecoons", I believe.
