I was actually crying on camera with this reveal... more from Squirtle but honestly this game is gonna kill.

I. Cannot. Wait. Nor. Breathe.

If there is no Ridley in smash switch, we will return for the next smash, and the next one, and the next one, forever space pirates.
This is actually the most beautiful thing ever… after the reveal trailer of course
I still cannot believe it, I'm dying of happiness right now

I'll drop this here (put it in spoilers due to potential size and no that wasn't intended as a Ridley joke in disguise)

And he's using a modified Other M design...This couldn't have gone better...Okay, it actually would be better if it didn't take 5 games for him to be added, but still.

Well is a mix between Other M and his classic design (because he is not buff but the head is cleary his other m one, with the mouth fixed... is like, the perfect mix between the two.
Also, meta Ridley alt!

Oh my God, I'm so happy for you guys! You've finally obtained that which you desired all these years! You've met failure after failure, but you did not falter and now he's here! I'm so proud of you for not giving up even after being denied him by Sakurai himself! That's real dedication right here and I like that!
I wasn't really one of you even if I had nothing against Ridley, but I still hoped for this to happen after seeing what you've gone through. It must have been awful, but it's all worth it in the end, no? Now you can finally play as the character you wanted and he looks pretty fun. I might even try him out when the game comes out.
But please, don't rub it in the detractors' faces. You deserve it in a way, but that's not a good thing to do even if you were on the receiving end all these years. Be nice, alright?

I figured out how to get the character images from the offical site. Here's Ridley's.

I haven't posted in this thread specifically, but I supported Ridley in Smash 4 and for this game he was my second most wanted (after another large reptilian pirate), and I just wanted to stop by and say how happy I am for all of you. I've wanted Ridley too, but some of you have been waiting a over a decade for him to be playable. Congrats you guys. You deserve it.

Don't know if it happened just to me or not, but the site crashed for a while.
Last time this happened it was for Sonic ten years ago. THIS is how big (pun intended) Ridley is fo the Smash community.

This entire SSB reveal has been heart attack city, but Ridley completely stole the show even with such a precedent set. The reveal of this character has sent shockwaves. ****ing shockwaves. My wife also now thinks I'm a raving lunatic and we might get a sound complaint.

Same, it happened to me a couple times, but luckily it was brief.

That being said, I would have been sorely disappointed if Ridley didn't crash, or at least strain the site for a little while.

Now we can all celebrate, it finally happened and Ridley looks bad-***!!
When I saw Samus as her Other M design I was a little worried that if Ridley was gonna be in smash, it would be as his derp other m design, very buff and with the weird beak mouth, but this Ridley, it just grabs the best parts of each design and mix it so perfectly.
...
Now what we do? what we support? were I am supposed to go?

We did it!

Couple of questions, though.
1 - Completely new Render or something else?
2 - Are we going to find out the Smash Ballot order anytime soon?

Considering Sakurai told us to not expect many newcomers, the wise approach is to not expecting anything and just enjoy what we have so far.

Well the other character I really really wanted was Waluigi but we know what happened ahah
Jokes aside, I think we still have plenty to talk about and celebrate. We (as a fanbase) waited for 16 years, it's about right to have a seven-months party ahah

For example, to get discussions started, what do you think about his final smash?
I'm happy it's not meta-Ridley but I must say it is not the best ahah
But I still have to get used to these new final smashes (I will miss things like WarioMan)

It is been a pleasure to support our space pirate leader with all of you, but I guess all speculation, all theories, all of the broken dreams and fake leaks, all must come to an end... It's over.
It's finally over.
It's Over
