Something tells me Ridley killing Mario and Megaman was him crushing down the big icons of Smash Bros itself from past to the present, to really pin down how he's not here to play around like your average Nintendo-villain. So glad to see that overall.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Bowser.
Ganondorf.
Wolf.
And now Ridley.

Things are looking a little...villainous already...

Who’s ready for some good guys vs bad guys Smash? Or to see the bad guys win?!

 

[smileMasky]

Congratulations you pirates you deserve this victory

 

[Drclaw411]

WE DID IT!!!!!

SPACE PIRATES NEVER FALTER!

 

[Kitty-chan]

Good job Space Pirates nya!! Nyu finally did it nya! RIDLEY IS IN SMASH NYA!!!! I wanya play some motherfluffing Ridley ASAP nya!!!

 

[Blackwolf666]

After all these years of hoping, praying and enduring all the Ridley is too big statements... our boy made it... Ridley is in smash!!!

 

[A Distant Demon]

You have no idea how happy i just was to see an alert saying "your thread was moved"

 

[True Blue Warrior]

But you guys, Ridley is too big and downsizing him would be against his character!

 

[darksamus77]

That amiibo is the most beautiful piece of Metroid merchandise I've ever seen. Is it December 7th yet?

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Is it wrong my favourite part of the trailer is Ridley twirling Mario's hat?

 

[Dan]

Is it wrong my favourite part of the trailer is Ridley twirling Mario's hat?

No, because that means he just ate him or something.

Who's got the video of Sakurai demoing him right after the Direct? I'm dying to see if he says anything about him, or why he decided to include him after putting him down for so many years.

 

[RileyXY1]

I just can't believe that Ridley actually made it in. Looks like he wasn't too big after all.

 

[SmashBro99]

Ridley was too big to get in...

Enjoy your ****** version tho!

 

[UltimateWario]

Ridley was too big to get in...

Enjoy your ****** version tho!

We will! Thank you! Let us know if you need any tissues on your way out!

No, because that means he just ate him or something.

Ridley getting ****ing destroyed in this tournament holy ****

 

[BaganSmashBros]

This whole time, Ridley was too big for Smash. You know how they fixed it?
By making Smash too big.
Sakurai is a genius except not really.

 

[AndreaAC]

This day is going to be remembered for years to come. :3 Dreams do come true, and they come in the form of Ridley.

 

[CCD23]

Ridley getting ****ing destroyed in this tournament holy ****

Yeah, just saw him fighting Bayonetta on Green Greens. Anybody fighting against Bayonetta on Green Greens isn't a great matchup between the stage's low blast zone and her combos... Poor Ridley.

 

[Zeox]

Nothing is impossible if you dream hard enough
Like the lyrics of this song say
I believe a dream can still come true.
I still believe in miracles, I swear I've seen a few.

 

[Oasis_S]

After all these years...

I'm so happy I could cry....

 

[Xhampi]

Is it wrong my favourite part of the trailer is Ridley twirling Mario's hat?

It's also a throwback to Mario's Odyssey trailer

Ridley : It's my game now !

 

[RetroMetalSonic]

Is it wrong my favourite part of the trailer is Ridley twirling Mario's hat?

Nah, I don't think so. That hat twirl shows Ridley's sadistic side. (I mean, taunting Samus with the remains of Nintendo's mascot? Sheesh, he's never done anything like that in any of the Metroid games...)

 

[BaganSmashBros]

This truly, truly has been a roundabout path. Thank you, Sakurai, I don't know how else to say it...

Seeing so many people return is also nice.

 

[AndreaAC]

Wow, i never thought I would see you around the boards after all those years, Oasis. xD Ridley causes miracles.

This truly, truly has been a roundabout path. Thank you, Sakurai, I don't know how else to say it...

It came out of knowhere after Sakurai seemingly doing everything under his power to not make Ridley playable, but I guess he wanted to save him for one of the most...amazing reveals of all time.

 

[soviet prince]

wow ..................

Just leaving these old comments here.

wonder were they are now lol

 

[StrangeMann]

The end has actually come.
Now the battle is on the battlefield instead of on paper
It's been a pleasure being among Ridley's supporters.

 

[Oasis_S]

I even met my girlfriend on a little Ridley for Brawl forum... just over 10 years ago... I can't believe it...

And this all started because I thought he was going to be playable in Melee after seeing its intro on, what must have been Christmas day 2001. I know I'm not alone on that, lol.

Also hey Andrea. I'm seeing some familiar names. It's good to see you all around to join in on this JOY.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

I'm over the moon right now.

 

[AndreaAC]

Oh yeah, in the lacking times of the Smash4 speculation, I never felt like leaving this place nor drawing Ridley, stage hazard at that time or not. So, now, it was one of those days I'm definitely never going to forget. I'm also glad to seeing people from back then, makes me remember that despite it all, the wait was worth it.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

So I decided to compare sizes with my theoretical playable Ridley. Pretty close.

 

[UltimateWario]

wow ..................

wonder were they are now lol

"Ridley looks so stupid scaled down XDDD are you guys happy with what you got because it looks ****ing STUPID!!! Sakurai was right all along!"

Ridley Fans: Yeah, we're pretty happy, he looks great.

"Y-Yeah well UR MOM!!! XDDD"

That's where they are now, go browse some YouTube comments sections, you'll see them, degenerates, the lot of them.

 

[DraginHikari]

Now time to update the wishlist graphic with what I never expected to actually happen.

 

[Captain Hazama]

Not just youtube. Reddit as well man. Like holy crap.

 

[Morbi]

I am just glad that most Ridley fans can finally stop being so pessimistic. In my humble opinion, he was obvious af and I stated as much time and time again, but the negativity was so oppressive. Hopefully this place goes back to being chaotic and fun.

 

[Steelia]

Congrats, y'all. Never gave up on the giant purple space dragon

 

[UltimateWario]

Not just youtube. Reddit as well man. Like holy crap.

I popped into the Metroid reddit to see what they thought and pretty much everyone loves him. There are people upset that Samus looks the same (agree but it's not a big deal, although it looks like she probably hasn't been buffed much either which is bad) and plenty upset about not seeing Prime 4 (be patient, people, Jesus), but most everyone was pleased with Ridley.

I dare not go to the Smash Bros. Reddit because honestly the Smash community can be pretty ****ing horrible outside of this place.

It was the Smash Reddit. They say "he took over a spot reserved for someone worth while, and now we have a useless character, blah, blah, blah." Very salty and angry people.

 

[CrowGoesCaw]

Usual sort of stuff, then. Anyone they didn't personally want would have gotten the same reaction from them. Such chatter is irrelvant now, Ridley is in.
