I meant that all the characters in Smash are in a controlled environment and i'm not sure that Ridley would be good in the Smash world because of everyone in Smash getting balanced outside of they're respective game worlds,For unlocking Ridley, perhaps you have to defeat 1986 opponents in Cruel mode, or consume 2010 mega mushrooms on Pyrosphere/Brinstar with Samus
Sanity. In Super Smash Bros. Good one
Dr. Mario isn't a newcomer, which makes this even more surprising.I think I have a new point of discussion that I have not read or discussed on here. Or at least not recently.
SSBBrawl had 12 unannounced characters that were secret at launch.
8 of them were veterans and 4 were newcomers.

For smash bros 4. If the ESRB leak is the final roster, then we have:
10 unannounced characters that will be secret at launch.
6 being veterans and 4 are newcomers. (Dr. Mario, Dark Pit, Bowser Jr. DHD.)
Doesn't it seem weird that Smash 4 would have a lower number of secret characters unannounced than it's predecessor? (12 versus 10) . That the games both have 4 as the number of newcomers unannounced? Also that the 4 unannounced newcomers from smash4 also is two clones and only two true newcomers?
Sure seems like there could be more secret unannounced newcomers. Maybe Ridley, is meant to be experienced by playing the game and having that "New challenger approaching" nostalgia. But for those like me and won't be able to wait, can go to the website after release, like the Brawl dojo, and have it revealed.
Thoughts? This epiphany came to me as I was falling asleep and about to start dreaming of Ridley.
That's fine, but "joke characters" doesn't apply. If the dev team could think of movesets for joke characters (and movesets for characters like Captain Falcon), then Ridley shouldn't be an issue, regardless of your own thoughts.
Exactly! Captain Falcon had nothing to work off him, yet he still got an awesome moveset. And compared to him, Ridley has a lot to work with when it comes to movesets.
I like how are thinking about this, but keep in mind that Dr. Mario isn't a true newcomer and Dark Pit has a likely chance of being a Pit clone and not a true newcomer either.I think I have a new point of discussion that I have not read or discussed on here. Or at least not recently.

Truly the greatest post compalation of our time.
I'm so damn worried about the "fate is cruel" part... :<
I apologize if this has been posted. Did the last argument against newcomers just get debunked? All of the images were taken at the same time?
You have a fair point but all these characters you mentioned were somewhat plain and Smash made them better for fighting,
Who do you think he is, Metal Face?
Wait, what? Since when are any of them joke characters? I mean, you probably mean Wii Fit Trainer, who is an oddball character, but not a joke. What constitutes as a joke character anyway?
Well considering that part of the Tekken team, those with experience in fighting games and trying to balance them, are meant to be helping in developing this game. I don't think there'd be much trouble balancing Ridley for Super Smash Bros. as a playable character. The only thing to worry about is how Ridley would work, his play style. I would assume that if he is an air based character, the team would balance him to make sure that he isn't OP. For example, if he is stronger and or faster in the air, he'd be slower on the ground much like in the Prime games. Also, it's possible for him to have a flight metre (like Little Mac has a power/KO metre), so once it runs out, he'd have to go on the ground to charge it back up (I can't remember which member had this idea, whoever it was, kudos and credit to you). There's always a way to balance a character, whether it's adjusting their power, speed, moveset, or their special ability. Besides, if Ridley is playable and turns out slightly OP, Nintendo can release a patch to sort it out (with the help of Bandai Namco).
one of them was a joke character. Animal crossing deserved a rep, and many wanted him
Yeah, it's going fast isn't it?
Hasn't it always just been a very quick split-second animation? I doubt it will be prominent enough to even leave a mark of stupidity.
We'll call it the Meta Ridley thread
And Ganondorf wearing bunny ears and a Tanooki tail, being beaten up by Jigglypuff and other cute characters isn't stupid? Come on, it's just a light-hearted fighting game ._.
Well i kind of consider the Villager a joke character mostly because Animal Crossing is the opposite of Smash,
Maybe he holds the items in his feet, like he did with the baby metroid jar. That would be pretty neat.
Isn't Duck Hunt Dog the Joke character?
Just like they went through the trouble of putting a puppetmaster, a character with a ko meter, a yoga instructor, and as your avatar shows a character with several stances that change up on the fly and was even stated by Sakurai to be a unique character not normally seen in Smash. To think Ridley would be impossible is quite silly when there's no rhyme or reason for any of the characters to be fighting each other in the first place since it's all just people playing with toys.
On second thought, I want him to use his tail to grab things. I never played Metroid in my life so I'm unsure if he's got that kind of dexterity to his tail.
Speaking of which, is that Meta Ridley thread still open? Why don't we just use that once this one is closed?We'll call it the Meta Ridley thread
I see. Well, I just think an Animal Crossing Rep was long overdue.
It means that Ridley will be confirmed soon, and they don't want leaks (fake or real) out when it happens. That or the original posters are deleting their Ridley post, but it's been happening a lot with many people so I doubt it.
Or they are just posting links. Miiverse is ridiculous. I got perma Banned twice from a stupid little kid who false reported me.If he got banned he would format his 3ds into a new account. He could never get conosle banned. (BTW, I was InterviewU, a guy who interviewed people on Miiverse. I was beginning to become quite popular as well, gaining 50- 100 followers every two interviews.) Some people are just jerks. :/
Obviously we have the same home story.
I've heard they axe a lot of image links, possibly so nobody is linked to inappropriate things. I haven't tested that or anything but it would make sense. Still I'm pretty sure that image was just an edit of that deviantart Ridley picture. I still think he's got a good chance but I don't think we've seen anything concrete on him yet. Sakurai is going to great lengths to keep whatever his role is under wraps.
True, true, but considering what they did with the leak footage and images that popped up before Shulk was confirmed, I'm leaning to that the same thing is happening with Ridley.
Enough to flail it around like a whip.
Appears once per page.
Sweet sig you got there.
