This seriously need to be on 3ds necause sound test but lower norfair.
This actually brings up a good point, in the March Famitsu issue, they alluded to Phantom seeming to be a move for Zelda and questioned what happened to Sheik, a month later, we got the confirmation it was in fact Zelda's new move and Sheik got separated. By implication, the situation does imply that Ridley is being teased as a boss as they allude to a mysterious shadow lurking over a stage that seems simple otherwise. If it's the same case, then it's not a good sign for Ridley, I'd say that it's the most worrying thing we've gotten in a long time and I can't say it gives me much hope for the situation.
I think it's more so they're just stating speculation, like everyone else. People were speculating if Phantom was a move or assist or what, so they wrote about it. People are speculating if Ridley is a hazard or playable. Since we saw Ridleys shadow on Pyrosphere it's obvious they'd comment on it, but they didn't really say one way or the other. Maybe he's lurking about waiting to be revealed playable?
Hahaha even they have not a clue about what is going on, it's beautiful.Did anyone see those Nintendo Dream scans, in which they had a little section on Pyrosphere and they never brought up Ridley appearing on the stage at all? And yet when they got to Dr. Wily's Castle, they went into detail about the Yellow Devil?

...Yeah.
Honestly, I don't know. I wouldn't say I'm as involved as some of the other users here. I just like the characters I like.
Huh. In the picture the platforms are...well, was anything known yet about the platforms moving or anything? Because they sure as hell look like they can move. So, it's not entirely neutral at least?
Potentially yes, I'm not saying the alternative isn't possible, particularly since they have been rather quiet about it, it's just that going by face value it doesn't paint a pretty picture. It's still rather unnerving as he's being teased again for a non-playable role, and no matter how much they refuse to elaborate on it, it may end up being that way, which greatly worries me. I want to believe Ridley will be playable, I've wanted this for years, but I can't shake that depressing feeling that this article and the direct has given me.
I may be on the neutral standpoint, but that doesn't mean I don't think Ridley wouldn't be a good addition. But a reason to support his inclusion would be: Ridley would add to the villains but more importantly, he'd be a new character adding a whole new variety to the gameplay mechanics.
Agreed, but at the same time, that doesn't guarantee a confirm. But you are right: Isn't it odd that a character is (for this scenario) is only a boss, but hasn't been outright deconfirmed to be one? Or how about how it wasn't directly announced that Ridley was a boss, and we got no confirmation about it since over a year ago.
We have the K. Rool guys on our side. Have you seen the dance-related antics in their thread? We're sure to win.So, I don't know what exactly the Shulk and Isaac threads are uniting to do against the Ridley and K. Rool threads, but it's on!
I'm hoping this will be settled through a dance off, but no official word yet.
Did it say he was a hazard? Because I didn't see it.
They ain't the boss of me.I like how someone from that thread said not to give word of whats been said from that link, yet a Mod does it anyway.
Ugh, we might need to look into adding the Bandanna Dee guys into this. Have you seem some of those Kirby stage completion dances?
In other words:
Have you not learned anything? We are Ridley supporters! We will grasp that goddamn straw until either it or we break! We will not give up hope until we see clear purple on pyrosphere proof damnit! You are not authorized to give up!
It says that Pyrosphere is not a simple stage even though the layout is simple.
*cough*lava*cough*
That is quite the puzzler, but regardless, Rids hadn't been outright deconfirmed.
it may be a different stage boss, or roidley, but if it is roidley as a stage boss, the chances of ridley being playable are still up. We won't give up on Ridley easily like how he will never give up on Destroying all of those who stand in his way. Ridley Cheats Death!
So, technically, the following is possible:
Cinnamon Bun flies right in!
you give me an idea.....a really strange idea....
is it cinnamon bun wearing a ridley head-shaped hat and ridley wings and ridley tail?
Oh this should be fun.
Pretty sure that every Metroid stage up to this point has had some form of violent (semi)liquid involved. At least Norfair was more interesting in the way it handled it. Watch Pyrosphere do the same.
xD Yeah....kind of!
Why can't people just consider:
Until the man MAKING THE FREAKING GAME says through his mouth; "Ridley's not playable", THEN we quit.
Lakitu confirmed as stage hazard.
You mean, "lay dormant for the next Smash Bros".
Just going to correct you because one of the thing you said got proven false.Why can't people just consider:
Planet Zebes - Hmm, a level with a rising lava gimmick.
Brinstar - Hmm, a level with a rising lava/acid gimmick.
Norfair - Hmm, a level with a rising lava gimmick.
Pyrosphere - Hmm, a level with lava, totally can't have a rising lava gimmick.
And before someone say, "But Sakarai wouldn't be that predictable!" Really? Last time I checked, there was THREE Metroid levels with a rising lava gimmick, and for some dumb reason, you think Sakurai wouldn't do that again?
"But Ridley shadow was on Pyrosphere! Totally means a boss!" ...Are you REALLY sure that WAS Ridley? All we saw was a shadow, a shadow that resemblance Ridley. Could have been anyone. Sakurai's the one making the game, so he can do ANYTHING to make us think anything.
Until the man MAKING THE FREAKING GAME says through his mouth; "Ridley's not playable", THEN we quit.
Don't forget Kraid appearing in one of those stages as a hazard too.Why can't people just consider:
Planet Zebes - Hmm, a level with a rising lava gimmick.
Brinstar - Hmm, a level with a rising lava/acid gimmick.
Norfair - Hmm, a level with a rising lava gimmick.
Pyrosphere - Hmm, a level with lava, totally can't have a rising lava gimmick.
So it's alluding to something the appearance of something on the stage? Like what's been alluded to for the past year?
Bugger, almost forgot Brinstar Depths! Yeah, I think Brinstar Depths is the only Metroid stage not to have lava as a stage hazard.
Does Frigate Orpheon just not exist?
Frigate Orpheon.
Why am I forgetting these stages. Well, I find Frigate Orpheon somewhat forgettable (personal experience, it's kind of meh to me), but Brinstar Depths was one I found kind of cool.
I forgot about Frigate Orpheon, it never was one of my favorite Smash metroid stages, even though I usually had an easy time winning on it.
RISING LAVA (DE)CONFIRMED
