Ridley as Emisary boss? Agreed.
As a playable character? No thank you.
[completely lame img-macro]
He's from the OTHER franchise that belongs to SEGA I believe.I do expect Ridley is playable though, and his crazyness shall grace the world with anguish. And due to Krystal's wishlist I must now find out what NiGHTS is because the design looks kind of cool.
Ok. The music is the music that has played in metroid games when you fight ridley. Please tell me where in that update it says that it is the music that plays when you fight ridley as a boss and not a playable character in that update.Ridley's song pretty much tells that he'll be a boss, I mean, is it logic to have it in a non-Ridley Metroid stage? Nah.
When fighting Ridley? Hell yeah.
Yeah, that makes tons of sense. Since I never feel lonely playing pokemon there should be millions of pokemon!IMHO, I think Samus should be the only Metroid character. It would represent the lonliness you feel when you play a Metroid game.

Nowhere, but by the Metroid gamer's common logic, that is obvious, isn't it?Ok. The music is the music that has played in metroid games when you fight ridley.

I agree he would. But why does that mean he won't be playable. Look at Bowser and Wario. We've seen that they are villans in the se and that diddy and dk fight bowser. And as of right now bowser is on the roster. So boss=/=non pc.Nowhere, but by the Metroid gamer's common logic, that is obvious, isn't it?
Whatever, Ridley is not confirmed for boss, but he'll pretty much fit the Boss role perfectly.
My thoughts exactly. Ridley being a PC would just ruin his image to me ( I think I posted about it in the Ridley thread once...).Ridley as Emisary boss? Agreed.
As a playable character? No thank you.
I'd rather have the Super Metroid version of Ridley intact.
Of course not, but again here I bring the song into discussion: Why is it in there? And tell me being honest: Do you really think it can be a song of an stage? Nah.I agree he would. But why does that mean he won't be playable. Look at Bowser and Wario. We've seen that they are villans in the se and that diddy and dk fight bowser. And as of right now bowser is on the roster.

I will be honest. I could be a stage song. The song that plays when you fight ridley in se. I don't really know for sure. What I do know is that just because a song is titled Metroid: Boss Battle Music (Ridley Fight) doesn't mean that ridley is a boss in se and that he won't be playable.Of course not, but again here I bring the song into discussion: Why is it in there? And tell me being honest: Do you really think it can be a song of an stage? Nah.
It could, but I don't think it's a great idea to have that kind of song in a stage, I'd prefer it for Boss battles, it fits better.I will be honest. I could be a stage song.

How just tell me how? As I said before, just because he may be a boss doesn't mean he won't be a pc. And look at the boss(es) we know so far. Petey and maybe Rayquaza. They are not at all important to there respective series. Ridley is the most recurring villan in the series and he is the one who inspired samus to become a bounty hunter. He made samus who she is. And petey you fight every once in a while. And rayquaza you can capture at the end of the game.It could, but I don't think it's a great idea to have that kind of song in a stage, I'd prefer it for Boss battles, it fits better.
Ridley can still be playable, but this Boss thing has downed his chances of being a PC.
I actually think I get where you're coming from, which somewhat connects with what a couple others said. They don't want Ridley as playable because it seems to mess with the Metroid style/atmosphere.IMHO, I think Samus should be the only Metroid character. It would represent the lonliness you feel when you play a Metroid game.

That's exactly the reason why Ridley can also be a boss, eh?How just tell me how? As I said before, just because he may be a boss doesn't mean he won't be a pc.

Didn't he did the same with Gardevoir (Pokeball), Petey (Boss) and other characters?Sakurai himself added Ridley to the poll. If he did not believe Ridley should be anything but a boss, would he of done so?
That's exactly the reason why Ridley can also be a boss, eh?What? I said that petey and rayquaza were not important to their series. Ridley is far from not important.
Same with the Black Knight being a personal boss for Ike, right?
Again, what? Are yo saying that Black knight isn't important to ike? I wouldn't know anything about that, I don't know fire emblem.
But did I typed that Ridley is a boss for good? No, he still got his chances, but IMO he could do a great boss.Did I ever say that he wouldn't or shouldn't be a boss? No.
Didn't he did the same with Gardevoir (Pokeball), Petey (Boss) and other characters?
he's got a point with that. Sakurai should know what he's doing. Ridley deserves to be a playable character and if he is a boss, then it gives him more time on screen. but they better make him playable. if they dont then that's messed up.The song is listed as Boss music as it was more general boss music in the Metroid games (particularly in Super Metroid I believe) and was eventually adapted to be Ridley's theme. If I am not mistaken anyway.
And of course it can be a song of a stage. Any of the songs listed on the website are likely to be chooseable through "My Music" to play on a stage. It is particularly mentioned that they are attempting to give a variety from each series to work with. It does not matter if someone can see it working as a song during a fight. I doubt most people saw the DK rap working either, and yet it was there in Melee.
And it is doubtful being a boss would harm Ridley's chances at all. It has been shown that it is quite likely that Bowser is a boss in the early game for DK/Diddy, but he is still playable.
Sakurai himself added Ridley to the poll. If he did not believe Ridley should be anything but a boss, would he of done so?
I should of been more specific, that was not completely directed at you. It was primarily towards the idea that Ridley could not be a playable character or should always be a boss, as Sakurai apparently thinks he has potential to be playable.Didn't he did the same with Gardevoir (Pokeball), Petey (Boss) and other characters?
Just to let you know, sakurai himself didn't put ridley on the poll. The poll was something done by sakurai where people suggest characters that they want in the next smash.I should of been more specific, that was not completely directed at you. It was primarily towards the idea that Ridley could not be a playable character or should always be a boss, as Sakurai apparently thinks he has potential to be playable.
Ok, you got me.What? I said that petey and rayquaza were not important to their series. Ridley is far from not important.
Again, what? Are yo saying that Black knight isn't important to ike? I wouldn't know anything about that, I don't know fire emblem.
Did I ever say that he wouldn't or shouldn't be a boss? No.
Gardevoir and Petey didn't even get multiple votes. Ridley got four.
I think he will be a boss too, and a great one. Sakurai would be stupid not to make him a boss. But he would be just as stupid if he didn't make him playable.Ok, you got me.
Anyways, I still think that Ridley may be a Boss, he could do a nice boss, but whatever... It's just one person's oppinion, I don't think it will affect much on Ridley's rep.
Finally agreed on something.I think he will be a boss too, and a great one. Sakurai would be stupid not to make him a boss. But he would be just as stupid if he didn't make him playable.
And plenty of people think the same way you do.
I count five mario reps. Luigi, Mario, Peach, Bowser, Dr. Mario.I really think Ridley would be almost perfect as a playable peep, but due to Nintendo's horrible sense of Franchise balance (I mean, Melee only had I dunno, 9 Mario reps!), I bet Ridley won't.
I've been saying that I would like it if Ridley was a pc and a boss this whole thread.Finally agreed on something.
With Ridley as PC is enough for me,but if the Black Knight is... I will use him (BK) as a sandbag, it's a given.
