They weren't cheering for Ridley, they were cheering for a high quality Samus model; Samus hadn't been on a console game in ages at that point.My favorite part in that video is always the one where the crowd goes wild for Ridley when they see him face Samus. I know I would've reacted the same way if I was there.
Its a shame he wasn't playable back then.
A wrong will be righted 13 years later.My favorite part in that video is always the one where the crowd goes wild for Ridley when they see him face Samus. I know I would've reacted the same way if I was there.

No way. Samus was in the original Smash which was just over 2 years old at E3 2001. They probably figured it was a Bowser scenario. He was also announced in that same trailer along with Zelda, Sheik, and Peach.
I thought it was that they got wild for Samus. I mean, they cheered quite a bit when you saw her play in-game shortly afterwards.My favorite part in that video is always the one where the crowd goes wild for Ridley when they see him face Samus. I know I would've reacted the same way if I was there.

It could be that they were cheering for both. But I doubt it was just Samus, for she was already playable in the last Super Smash Bros. game. Ridley, on the other hand, was a major darkhorse in the fanbase even back then, and when people saw him there they most likely thought he was a newly confirmed newcomer.
Well sadly, I still think he's not going to be a newcomer. I was all but certain that the Nintendo Direct video just confirmed that he will be a boss in one of the modes. But I dunno, if Sakurai is wacky enough to include some of the characters in the Gematsu leak, it just might be possible.
That was great. Thanks for posting. I can't believe the reaction Ridley got even back then!
Technically it starts on Tuesday but there are a couple of conferences on the Monday. Besides, when we get closer I'll start counting down to the Nintendo Conference.
Then the thread title would have to be modified, as it's giving us false info right now.
What should I change it to?
Now let's just hope and pray that Snake does return... with the glorious voice of David Hayter stating "Kept you waiting, huh?"
OH! For the longest time I was wondering why the countdown here seemed to be skipping ahead halfway through the day. I kept thinking you were basing the time by Japan (ahead of the US) or something. That explains a lot.
If I can make it work, I'll be going to class and watching E3. If not, I'll just be watching E3.
IF I was still in high school. I'm in college, lol.
That sure would be nice.
IT'D BE GREAT BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY DID KEEP US WAITING UNLIKE IN BRAWL WHERE HE WAS REVEALED RIGHT AWAY. *shot*
They were cheering for Samus, not Ridley :IMy favorite part in that video is always the one where the crowd goes wild for Ridley when they see him face Samus. I know I would've reacted the same way if I was there.

How do you know that? Were you there that day? How can you prove to me that they were cheering for a Smash veteran and not a newcomer that most of them probably liked, but didn't expect?
Neither of you could prove who was cheering for who, lol.
It could go either way, but I highly doubt they went wild for a veteran they already knew was returning for that game. Also, they didn't cheer again when they Samus appeared again, I checked.
No, they did. It was when they were showcasing the characters at the end. Doesn't matter anyways because arguing about who was cheered for at an event 13 years ago is silly.
Yes I was actually thank you very much.
Buy a ring just to be safe.
Uh, were you wearing earmuffs during 3:03 - 3:13? Because yes they did. And noticeably louder than anyone else who appeared before her.
Don't worry too much. He'll still be in the pre-recorded Nitnendo Direct and if he must appear I'm sure they can broadcast him. Flight can be stressful at the best of times.
Gamespot harbours a lot of console war fanboy crap, which isn't particularly helped by the site's journalists posting misleading titles about subjects. My console wars ended last generation - I want all three companies to survive in the console world, as I find appeal in each one in their own ways.
That's it, I'm convinced. There will be a newcomer announcement during or at the end of the Invitational. The opportunity is simply too good to pass up.
