Shulk trailer may not have done anything to hinder Ridley's chances, but the 3DS Smash commercials sure did.

@0:20, at the bottom right.



All-Star Mode.

"1985-1986"

Ridley debuted in Metroid along with Power Suit Samus.

....

Yeah, that's the coffin's nail right there.

:(
Yeah, I'm sure they'd give away the entire roster in an advert.

See? It worked, it worked ahahaha!
Are you a god? If yes - make Ridley playable in every SSB and Metroid game. NOW!
Even if you are not a god, you have awesome profile pic.

Also, DK debuted on NES console in 1986, but first appeared on arcades in 1981...still, there is Pit and Palutena missing, so...

R.O.B was released in 1985 in Japan guys. Kid Icarus was released in 1986 in Japan though, like Sakurai said in the Developer Direct 2013.

Yeaaaah, so that's quite the heavy blow. It's a bit odd ZSS isn't there, but I guess she's counted towards Zero Mission's reveal.
You just might of hit something. If it is going by year appearance, Zammy appears at a much later date. Remember, Ridley is OTHER M based.

God that all star mode picture scared the bajeebus outta me for a second.

I don't think today's reveal impacted Ridley s chances at all, guys. Basically, another two weeks in the hole.

(However this means there are only two secret not clone newcomers left now that we know about, and I have trouble believing that that's all we're gonna get. Each character reveal pre game just means more hidden characters imo, so this kinda helps Ridley)

The pax thing is happening on other m anniversary.
Then that has to be when he is revealed. It's just too good of an opportunity to waste now.

Also, I should say, even thou it would be cool with me if he is a secret character, I just feel like Ridley deserves to be announced with a trailer. After 13 years of waiting, he's earned one.

Where's Pit? The first Kid Icarus game was released in 1986. If you're going to say they're going by US/EU release dates, then where's Duck Hunt Dog (assuming he's in)? Duck Hunt was released in this time span in the west.

I don't know, you can never be too sure, though. He could be holding Ridley off still. Nothing is confirmed until Sakurai says it himself.

Ridley, Pit, Palutena, and R.O.B could have been excluded because fighting 9 opponents in a row on a single stock was considered too difficult.

Basically this. I said it once and I'll say it again. Sukarai is the only source to deconfirm Ridley. NO OTHER SOURCE SHOULD GET A SECOND GLANCE IF IT'S NOT FROM SAKURAI!

On that note, Shulk's company just got added AFTER his reveal while ads for Smash came out BEFORE it's reveal, yet nothing showed characters who wasn't confirmed yet. Sakurai will reveal characters when HE feels so.

You mean the YARRRRR kinda voice? I don't know, Scottish? Doesn't really seem Ridley-like to me, as much as I'd love me some Scot in Sm4sh.

Pit.

Palutena.

:4pit::4palutena:
Oh, I've always loved them. Those two and their banter. And their banter with the other great characters. Whoops offtopic.

Anyway, PAX happening what on when 31th Other M anniversary? Is that truly true?

So since it says 1985-1986 I guess there will be a 1986-1987 too. Now it could be argued it's stupid that Ridley would be seperated from the others, but there's already 5 characters in this batch which really is A LOT.

@ Swamp Sensei Swamp Sensei That's a first for me at least.

PAX is during the other M anniversary?

oh come on, then... if that is true, ridley HAS to be revealed there if he is indeed playable.

if we dont get a ridley reveal during PAX... then i think its safe to assume he is not playable... cause i see no other date for him to be given a trailer that would make any sense... and why wait until after the japanese release, when a random player would end up revealing him in a very non-spectacular way?

Look at north america anniversary

Shulk is japans most wanted

And if pax is usa exclusive then he shows usas most wanted it fits easily.

Pax starts today and ends on september 1st and the 31st is other m usa anniversary

Honestly, that Pit/Palutina comment was pretty obvious XD

He was saying that they helped to make the All-Star video not deconfirm Ridley

This is probably why I think that we are gonna get Other M Concept Art Ridley. I mean, other M, new Ridley model, perfect scale, it's got it all.

So when is the official conference? If it really is on 30th-31st, and if there is a character reveal, Rids is the ONLY one that makes sense. Cool seeing Shulk, but with the American conference, I'd say it's about time Sakurai reveals the fate of the Purple Space Pirate Leader.

It did kind of feel off, the other voice I would read him in was basically Steve Blum/Amon style

I think this is what Sakurai has been planning all this time with Ridley's reveal. It's all been an emotional roller coaster that he has sent us all on, and when it stops, we're gonna get the best prize ever for putting up with it till the very end.

"He's not the type of character that would usually appear in the Smash Bros. series, but we worked really hard to make it happen".

Come on Sakurai, please tell me you did the same to get Ridley in.

According to MyNintendoNews, it's the 3rd

October 3rd is the release date for the 3DS in America and EU.

Edit: I didn't see it say September 3rd?

I see... Still, if Ridley will be revealed in a trailer, THAT would be the Now or Never time to do so.

Now you know if Ridley isn't playable, this line he said for Shulk has little to no worth anymore. Although I respect Sakurai, Ridley fans would have been trolled. Though, on the optimistic side that that isn't the case.

Yeah, as I said, everything that has happened has lead up to this moment. Now that people are convinced that the leak is real with the Shulk reveal, Ridley's reveal would generate so much hype and trow everything back to surprise and mystery.

Also be careful not to double post, my friend.
