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.

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?!

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

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.

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

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

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. :ohwell:

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.

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.

After all these years...

I'm so happy I could cry....
Wow, i never thought I would see you around the boards after all those years, Oasis. xD Ridley causes miracles.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Speculation God, GOML
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.

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.

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.
