So the mod you have doesn't have the short ranged flamethrower as the default input? I thought BaganSmashBros had done this relatively early. Nevertheless, whenever you decide to do the thorough explanation video, you also need to show how much percentage it takes to launch Ridley off the stage, off screen, etc.
Is it the unnatural way his tail spins or part of animation after hitboxes disappear/tail stops extending?
I have at least 7 voice clips for attacks, so, its just a matter of how they are used. There will be less in ported versions most likely. He is already far from god tier with his floatyness, weight, exaggerated tipper mechanic and size, so, there isn't much to worry about.
Alpha is when there is barely anything done. Example of it is Big Rigs, but perhaps it is even before that. What we have is a nearly finished mod with 40 animations left.
There are different roars. Its just that they sound very similar. I have Omega Ridley and Meta Ridley's roars and SFX, so, i could make 2 extra sfx replacements.
You could give info on what is currently there and doesn't needs any major changes. Oh, and about fireballs...Not anymore!
Sure.
ORRRR
Well, closed beta.
True.
The Front Smash we saw in the video is Ridley simply extending his tail towards the enemy. It seems pretty fast, and personally, I love the reach and strength (when the tip gives full damage). I see the Front Smash as a perfect way to deal with players trying to get back on stage. There was no spin whatsoever.
Should they KO opponents? I think shooting out 5 fireballs with weak power seemed better, but that's just me!Oh, and about fireballs...Not anymore!
He shoots 3 fireballs that can actually KO opponents, but they disappear after going through 65% of FD. Right now i need to make them uncontrollable. Flamethrower is done, as i said some time ago, by holding A while he is stepping back until he goes into right animation.
The model's just a modified version of the Other M one, so it doesn't surprise me that it looks out of place.
Well, it is ~75% finished in the video, with only things like swimming, items and sleeping animations left out. As for those obvious issues, unless you are talking about something else, then range on him is a joke unless he hits with tail blade. Seriously, most of his tail attacks can't KO at 999% (maybe a little bit less, but still too weak) unless Ridley hits with tail blade.
Rildey!
I would go for that, but thats all i can do - make Other M model look good compared to original one. I can't rig models.
I will add 2 spins to make it like in Super Metroid (or Zero Mission, i don't remember), but then i will reduce end lag, which is enough to Falcon Punch him right now.
His tail is so long even at normal length that he will need to go up so high it wouldn't make sense for him to suddenly go down if he gets hit.
That makes a lot of sense actually... However, instead of having Ridley slam down his tail in front of him, he could instead curve his tail upwards in front of him, like so.
. But yeah, perhaps the Front Smash does need more changes than I initially thought. This would allow to reduce the range that many seem to have a problem with. I'd still love to see the tail spin, though if the range is shortened like the image above, then at that point, the tail spinning should be strictly kept only when the player charges the Front Smash.
That will increase its vertical range.That makes a lot of sense actually... However, instead of having Ridley slam down his tail in front of him, he could instead curve his tail upwards in front of him, like so.
Was lazy to put in the tail
Well then shrink the tail blade. That sweetspot is huge for the amount of KO power it has.
That could work and would make him look smaller, but then it may be too hard to hit with. It would be like if Marth would be bigger and would have nearly no damage and knockback on his sword except for the tip.
It's hard to explain, but what I had in mind is that Ridley extends his tail towards his front (like he does in the first few frames of his current Front Smash), but instead of continuing to extend it in a straight line for the rest of the animation, the tail would curve upwards in front of him, limiting his reach. The tail doesn't need to go that high up vertically, it could stop at the height of his head.
I like this idea too! Seems more attractive than what I had suggested. Whatever BaganSmashBros decides to do with Front Smash, if the Charging animation and/or start up animation consists of Ridley spinning his tail like the 2D games, I'm golden.
I was only facepalming at the "too big" comments in that site, some of which came from people who thought he looked "****ing huge" and could never made proper as a playable character. It's always good to give constructive criticism so long as you don't seem biased, and most of the commentators there were admittedly just skeptics to Ridley's capabilities as a fighter, so I can't find fault for them on that.
As an FYI, with my porting method, you'll have the ability to replace ROB, Olimar, Lucas or Toon Link if you'd rather keep Pit in the roster.
Thats Project M and his aerial attacks are supposed to be fast. Some of his attacks can be punished with a Falcon Punch.
Imagine Marth with longer sword, but with same sweetspot size. Tail attacks won't be the best option since they MUST be sweetspotted or else Ridley is just taking risk getting hit without any reward.
I'll go for this one. I just can't leave out something that was in every 2D game Ridley appeared in except for Metroid 1.
Yes, it is too easy to hit with.
Well, its a very common thing for such attacks and it always remains purple even if Ridley is white.
It IS a common thing, yes, but it's something I don't recall the last Ridley PSA having (don't quote me on that) and it looks very professional.
Thanks, I might replace Olimar, since no one I know really uses him.
This is looking great. Keep it up BagamI was thinking about how to make Ridley always spin his tail at least twice without turning this attack into vBrawl Ganondorf UTilt-level trash. So, i swapped long end lag for long start up. Here is how it looks:
Those 2 tail spins are always done, so, now it is even more like in 2D games.
