I wonder how long it's going to take for sections like these to get mods, or if they are just going to wait to see if activity picks up when the game realses


Also. . .premium members can now main Ridley AND get him the back of your posts wihtout Ridleyboards!

Will probably be an emote soon too! . . .been waiting on a Ridley emote for a damn long time

A Ridley sprite emote would be super fly, like :006: or :samus:. Dunno what it would be used for though.

No. Ridley already perfectly represents it alone and him being the only actual brutal type character is brilliant.
Not that you're wrong, but funny you say that when you have an avatar of an MK character. :p



I don't know why I made this.
Those who felt emotionally validated by Sakurai before with those statements must be feeling it now huh?


*test reply to see if Ridley appears in my background post
edit: Wasn't at first, but now he is. :)

Not sure if anyone has posted this from the Ridley Discord but this is a fairly accurate representation of the aftermath of the direct. HIGH VOLUME WARNING!

My favorite thing is still people saying purple Charizard is out of place/stands out there more than Ridley Silverlake.

Oh man, I've been watching some of the Riddles gameplay and he looks great! That tail-stab!? The Dorf's gonna be pissed he's losing the "Most damaging move" award.

I am so ready to play this!

But now I really want Dovahkiin, just to be able to have the dragonborn vs. space dragon fight.

---

Curiosity: Riddles had 8 color swaps in the demo, but we know Meta Rids is inbound. More than 8 swaps confirmed? And for multiple characters? Or DLC outfits?

I really want the TP looks back for the Zelda crew, or Ganon's HW mane. And I'd love to see a Team Rocket Trainer, particularly if that got him legit shiny Zard and Squirtle Shades.

I'm still holding out hope for Old Snake alt costume. That's probably my biggest want along with the (already fulfilled) Meta-Ridley and Kaptain K. Rool.

If Meta-Ridley has the Super Red color, I will pretty much use that one exclusively.

I would LOVE to see K.Rool come in with Kaptain as an alt. Especially if they give him his blunderbuss.

And I've never even played any DK games outside of DK64 (which is more than the number of Metroid games I've played). Kaptain just seems so iconic.

Cloud, Bayonetta, and Ridley have given me enough confidence that K. Rool will almost certainly have a Kaptain alt.

He just needs to get in the damn game first.

Not sure if its been mentioned yet, but both VoiD and Zero said they’d main Ridley, and M2K said Ridley is good but some of his moves are slow. So yeah, Ridley seems like he’ll at least be high tier depending on the meta. Either way he’ll be one of my mains.

Honestly, I'm reaaally impatiently waiting for December 7th now. I want to play as Ridley so badly now. I love that he seems to be high-damage, but also that he's easy to combo. I don't think I could be any happier with how he looks and I can't wait to play him.

I just had a moment in another thread when discussing my most wanted newcomer. The moment was when I stated my most wanted was someone other than Ridley. It was so wierrrrd. Ridley has been my most wanted since brawl and literally the entire time I've speculated on newcomers. I've never not had Ridley as my most wanted.

What is this brave new world? :ultridley:

It's a world where Ridley returned to his NES size to be playable in Smash Bros.

Ridley was never quite my most wanted but he did get bumped up with each game.

He was my fourth most wanted in Brawl (behind Diddy, Dedede, and Samurai Goroh), third most wanted in 4 (behind K. Rool and Mega Man) and second most wanted for 5 (behind... y'know).

It's so weird being able to lean back and just wait, no more reading into every little detail as being a hint or analyzing clouds or shadows, no more fakes leaks and detractors bashing us over the head, now we can just happily watch the chaos unfold from the sidelines instead of being at the heart of it. There are still some characters I'd like to see make it, but I'm not desperate for them at all, for the first time I'm completely satisfied. Crazy times.

First time posting here. So happy the Lord of the space pirates finally has his rightfully spot at the roster!

ZeRo did an analysis of the character trailers and talked a bit about his impressions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYj_r_fpHgE

Ridley's at the end. Things look promising for our favorite villain!
Welcome aboard.

Is it bad that I'm cool with not getting ANY of the other characters I wanted? Seriously, Ridley was all I needed.

I think it would have been better if Ridley was the 64th character added to the Smash series since he first appeared in Smash on the N64.

Remember this little snot?



Guess he ran his mouth too much and is paying the price for it now.

xD I had to post it here too.
I was looking for Ridley-based wallpapers for my PC to replace the Metroid Prime one I’ve had for ages and found your DA, which reminded me of this place. I remembered that emotions page you drew for Ridley and I was like, “I should check that place out again, fight the bad fight.”

So just know that you’re doing a good job as Ridley’s propaganda artist.

Any particular Ridley themes that you hope they include in the game? Obviously the Brawl one will be in there, as well as that remix from his character trailer, and definitely Meta-Ridley's theme.

Personally, I really hope
Proteus Ridley Phase 3 makes it, I really loved this theme.

That's absolute gold, I remember getting genuinely furious at that piece of **** bunny for that lmao, even an AT is probably more than he deserves. So many of these things have become really funny to look back on now.

xD You really did? I mean, I posted just a few stuff of Rids there a while ago but now it is mostly hidden! But Glad you did!

^u^ Aw, thank you so much! I'm still as happy to keep drawing him as I was before the reveal! But now with a little bit of BOOST POWER! Haha! :p

Also, have you guys seen this?

xD I would have loved to be there!

Best Ridley theme IMO. The fact it is a final boss theme for once helps give it that little 'oomph' to surpass the rest. Also, best boss fight in any Metroid game for me, by far. Between it and his inclusion in Smash, Ridley's been getting a lot of love recently.

On that topic, I know it's likely never happening, but would anyone else like if Ridley had a Proteus costume? More specifically one based on the official artwork:

Edit: I don't know why, but the images are not loading. Just search 'Proteus Ridley Artwork' on Google.

Is that bunny one of the ATs we can KO like Takamaru and Waluigi?
