Expose me of idiocy now?
The fact byou put:
as a factor for him to be ONLY a boss is the reason WHY we flamed you in the 1st place, size AINT an issue and u say that like it is and because of that he has no choice but becoming a boss...
And the result is...
The fact that you took this thread seriously makes you a complete idiot.PsychoIncarnate said:
UHHHHHH.... This thread WAS serious. Completely serious and incomprehensible.
I didn't take this thread seriosly...I was IN the thread when he was talking about making an Anti-Ridley thread and I know the reason WHY he did it...
This is LOLtastic.
If you think that you're obviously really an idiot, like I said.
If you didn't take this thread seriously, you wouldn't be whining and complaining about his hate towards Ridley.PsychoIncarnate said:
It does have a point, the fact that you don't see that makes you a complete dunce.PsychoIncarnate said:
It DOESN'T have a point...It's just to cause anger in others which is pathetic...
Point 4 is an auto matic fail.
I want to make an attempt at some of these... Size isn't an issue. Fail.
What did Mewtwo do in Melee? Float all the time? Fail.
I get confused by this. Your saying he will have to be flying because he has wings?
How would you know? We don't even know how Charizard plays!
No... Bowser would be an awesome boss character huh?
Indeed.
How is that pathetic? Because you embarrassed yourself by showing your true colors? You're just butthurt.
There's seriously nothing better than making people look like an a-s.
Quite I am.
Now I will put you guys to the test! Can you tell me why I said that Ridley would be like Charizard?
1. Your an idiot.
No.Many ppl requested one, so here it goes! Welcome to the anti-Ridley thread.
Before I explain my stuff, let me tell you guys that you gotta make good decisions in terms of a playable roster in a video game. More is not necessarily better, and knowing where to draw the line is the most important thing of all.
Now, let's talk about Ridley:
Samus' most notable antagonist, even though he never was the main antagonist, from the Metroid series. He looks like a cross between a dragon and a pterodactyl, and he flies, spits fireballs and likes to slash Bounty Hunters with his claws or his tail.
Ridley would make a great addition in Brawl... but he would be much better as a boss than as a character, here's why:
1) Ridley is big: He wasn't that big in the original Metroid (but the original Ridley is totally different anyway), but he got bigger and bigger in each game (he's huge in Metroid Prime now). Ridley's size is too much compared to the rest of the cast. In Smash Bros, he would probably be a little bit smaller than Giga Bowser, which is not good for playability... at least Giga Bowser is the result of a transformation which is temporary, Ridley would always keep that size.
2) Ridley flies all the time: The only game where he doesn't have that characteristic is Metroid (but the character design was totally different anyways) but in the other games of the Metroid series, you can see that Ridley is always in the air (erm... dont want to spoil stuff hehe). Anyways, Ridley was designed as a flying boss, and that is one thing that was supposed to add to the challenge of defeating him... the fact that he's always in the air!
3) So basically Ridley's design is different of a playable character's design. The other flyers that are currently in Brawl do not use Flying as their main means of movement, it's kinda like a secondary ability that they have. Ridley is basically just like a Bird, so flying is how he moves. Having the idea of a pure flying character could add variety to this game, but it would kinda be conflictual with the mechanics, which is to knock your opponent off the stage!
4) So many of you would say something like: ''Well we could make Ridley smaller and make him a walking creature with a gliding ability kinda like Charizard'' Well thats what Ridley becomes ladies and gentlemen... not only he uses his features from the Metroid series (being huge, being able to easily grab sum1 with his claws, being able to fly all the time) but he simply becomes a Charizard clone...
5) So if you are a true Ridley fan, you should stop being selfish and start thinking about the bigger picture... The only way to correctly represent Ridley in Brawl is to make him a Boss character. That way, he'll be able to keep all of his features that makes him awesome. Also, Ridley has no personality... so you don't want to play as him, you just want to shoot him dead, trying to save your skin!!!
Ridley for Brawl!!!
I am never embarissed to show any of myself...
How is that even legit when you support Sonic in Brawl?
Then you should feel bad about yourself and commit suicide.
Yes, my main goal in life is the make your's worse.
Oh no, I'm an a-s?!
See lol?
Well then why don't you tell us exactly why you think this.See lol?
You could have just copypasted what I said b4, but instead you just say a bunch of random insults.
Only been in the Brawl Character boards for 2 days... but I feel so smart when posting here...
EDIT: Nice try Shuma, but you're just on the surface... it's deeper than that!
Well, I dont think theres anything wrong with that...
Oh Lawdz. You did NOT just do that. AND STOP SAYING LOL ALL THE ****ING TIME.
Oh obviously you did not read Gypsy's amazing post that totally owned yours.
I'd really like to know who. For entertainment purposes. All the threads I've been on haven't said otherwise. Also, please learn to spell properly. It bugs me, and a lot of other literate people up the wall.
Actually, I agree with you. We can't have a broken character in a video game that is "too strong". Example: Dark Phoenix from X-men: Next Dimension. More is not always better, but I agree, there is a line. Let's see if you know about this "Line", you speak of...
Yes. Lets.
The fact that he has appeared in all but 2 Metroid games (Metroid Prime 2:Echoes and Metroid Prime: Hunters), appears to me that he IS Samus' main Antagonist. Though certainly, he is rarely the final boss of any of the Metroid games, he is the character that reappears the most within the Metroid series. He appears more than Kraid, and more than Mother Brain. And, he has strong ties to Samus, given her back story.
Samus' most notable antagonist, even though he never was the main antagonist, from the Metroid series. He looks like a cross between a dragon and a pterodactyl, and he flies, spits fireballs and likes to slash Bounty Hunters with his claws or his tail.
So when you say great addition to Brawl, why shouldn't he be a character?
The size arguement is the most used arguement in the history of arguements (especially concerning Ridley). Since this has been done several times over, I will be demonstrating the same points, but with other characters and their respective games.
Untrue. In Metroid Prime, at a certain point in the fight, Ridley's wings were burnt off, and Ridley was forced to fight on the ground. While I agree, Ridley has air superiority, and would most likely prefer fighting in the air, this by no means suggest he can't fight on the ground. He still has Plasma beams/breath, claws, and don't forget the tail. Ridley is just as formidable an opponent on the ground, as well as in the air. One might say he's more fearsome on the ground than in the air.
So is Kirby, Pit, Charizard, and Metaknight with what I will assume will be more multiple jumpers (in regards to their jumps, making them fly like a bird would, "flapping their wings". Look at Kirby's jump animation. Flaps like a bird). Why couldn't Ridley be the same? 4-5 flaps=4-5 jumps, and then a glide? Or even just gliding?
And that's what Pit and Metaknight become: Pit and Metaknight clones. There's only so much that can be done that will be truely original in any game. Just because a character recovers in the same way that another character does (Mario and Luigi anyone?), doesn't make them a clone. While the Mario and Luigi refrence isn't perfect, it's used as a loose example, given the different properties of Luigi's Up+B, and Side+B, as well as his fireballs. Similiar, but vastly different. Let's also remember his regular A moves are completely different from Mario's (with a few exceptions).
I have been thinking about the bigger picture Rick. See, like you; I was a non Ridley supporter. I had the same arguements. The same ideas. And then I really, and I mean REALLY thought about it.
Your most hypocritical statement in your entire post.
