Ridley for SSBB

[Wallmaster]

Yes, Ridley is much more classic. He goes back to the first Metroid game, when Dark Samus only goes back to MP1(and thats only if you consider its first form).

I think Ridley owns Dark Samus personally. Dark Samus was way too easy.

 

[Stryks]

why just one? the zelda series has 4 characters in melee, pokemon 4, mario has 5, why not have 4 in brawl:
Samus, Zamus, dark samus and ridley?

 

[The Basement Dweller]

Metroid has fewer truly main charcters I love the Metroid series, but Samus alone does a good job representing it.

 

[Stryks]

meh i rather see a lot of characters than one sole character represent its whole series, others like mach rider, well only he can represent his series cause well there arent many characters, but metroid has many characters so lets not leave samus have all the fun by herself...

Sakurai said that the Metroid series is underrepped and he was going to do something about it in Brawl. This pretty much guarantees at least one more spot but I would rather see DS and Ridley get in. But I do agree that Ridley should get in first and should be top priority.

 

[Stryks]

yeah wat he say, yes ridley 1st but if DS can be in let him, tough i want both of them in brawl...

 

[Wallmaster]

I just hope those new characters from Hunters don't take Ridley's spot. I want to see a classic character that represents the series, not just a bunch of new characters that appeared in one game.

And also, since Samus is going to transform into Zamus, would she still be considered another character?

 

[The Basement Dweller]

That would be awfull the hunters are undeserving.

 

[Jazzy Jinx]

Hunters will never take priority over Ridley, ever. It would be like adding Waluigi before Luigi.

 

[The Basement Dweller]

I wouldn't go that far. The thought is pure heresy true, but Waluigi over Luigi is just a sign of the apocalypse.

 

[alpha n00b]

hey what about the space pirates from super metroid? they should be in brawl to!

 

[The Basement Dweller]

They would be Ridley is thier leader play the games.

 

[Jazzy Jinx]

I think Space Pirates and Metroids should only be enemies like Goombas or Octoroks.

 

[smashman90]

What tier would you guys think Ridley would be in? And be honest too, nothing like "Ridley fo top tier fuls!" or something.

 

[The Basement Dweller]

Maybe High tier if they make him as a heavy charcter with 5 jumps and decent strength.

 

[alpha n00b]

I think Space Pirates and Metroids should only be enemies like Goombas or Octoroks.

no, space pirates can fight hand to hand, remember the kung-fu pirates from super metroid?

 

[smashman90]

But you couldn't make much of a good move set out of them and nobody really cares for the SP's. They're like stormtroopers.

 

[alpha n00b]

wrong again!, just use your imagination!,for A button attacks the SPs could use claw swipes! or: ^B spinning claw jump, >B claw stab, B laser VB ???, so there you go!

Don't forget zero-samus. Or is that wat zamus is? i'm sorry, i don't really know a lot about the metroid series...
Also, don't forget about other atacks, such as A^ and A>, and such. sure, Nintendo could come up with something for those, but they are just as important as the B specials...

 

[DarkKnight077]

Space pirates? Why them?..I mean if you want a space pirate least use a Elite pirate or a omega one.

 

[Jazzy Jinx]

I doubt a generic enemy like a space pirate will get in over Ridley, Dark Samus, or hell even any of the hunters. I wouldn't get my hopes too high for them.

 

[DarkKnight077]

Welll true I mean there a lot of Space Pirates..however Ridley is just fine for me.

 

[alpha n00b]

why do i want(kung-fu) Space pirates?, because there cool! that's why!

 

[DarkKnight077]

Kung-fu Space...Pirates? =T

 

[alpha n00b]

**** right kung-fu pirates!, if you don't know what i'm talking about then go play super metroid (the best game of all time!), go ahead i'll wait...

 

[King Axel]

My main qualm over having Ridley in Brawl is that he might just be... too big. It's hard to resize him without making him look pitiful, and he should just stay as he is; a big boss character.

But that's just my opinion.

 

[LUVTOY77-ROGUE WIREFRAME]

wrong again!, just use your imagination!,for A button attacks the SPs could use claw swipes! or: ^B spinning claw jump, >B claw stab, B laser VB ???, so there you go!

Or, no B moves...like the wire frames. All they had were A attacks, & could not charge them...

 

[Buddha Fett]

I think he'd end up pretty cool; they'd probably come up with something like a composite of Bowser and MetaKnight. I could deal with that.

I do agree with the scaling problem, though. He may look pretty strange as a human-scale character.

 

[Deleted member]

I personaly think he should be a boss for Samus, in a kind of personalised adventure mode.
I'd also rather have one of the other hunters (from Prime Hunters or Corruption), as a character.

I know people have made arguments against this, but he would look kinda wierd human sized. He's supposed to be a huge dragon (I think his 'original' size was in Zero Mission, since it was a remake of the original).

Especially since he's now even bigger in a game on the same console.

 

[alpha n00b]

a personalised adventure mode?!, pure genius!!

 

[alpha n00b]

by the way (Ridely) his 'original' size was in super metroid, which set his moveset for the rest of the 2-D series, besides it wouldn't be so hard to resize him,

 

[Wallmaster]

Ridley's first size was in Metroid 1. He was about Samus' size. And also, it would be no problem scaling him down. He would be about Bowser's size. I mean, look at how big Bowser was in Super Mario 64! He was huge!

In response to what tier he would be in, there is no way of telling. Nintendo tries to make the characters the same, so any results of a character being stronger than another would be accidental.

 

[Jazzy Jinx]

Ridley would not look weird scaled down. Check out the intro for Melee. That size is perfect and it is still smaller than Melee Bowser.

 

[alpha n00b]

yes ridley would be pretty cool in brawl, but would'ent get annoying to listen to him screech everytime he does something?, think about it... ridley gets hit *niiiiiiiiar!!*

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

hey what about the space pirates from super metroid? they should be in brawl to!

the only space pirate that even has a shot for Brawl is weavel from MPH, but Ridley over other hunters

EDIT

What tier would you guys think Ridley would be in? And be honest too, nothing like "Ridley fo top tier fuls!" or something.

Doesn't matter if he's among the lowest of the low tiers, I'm still going to play

 

[alpha n00b]

who's weavel?, sorry i've never played MPH before, i only play the 2-D platformers (full 3-D games are to hard for me).

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Weavel is a former Space Pirate commander who was severely wounded by Samus Aran on Brinstar (according to the official Hunters strategy guide), leaving only his brain and central nervous system intact. Afterwards, he was fitted with a new robotic body, allowing him to separate his torso from his legs, which then become a stationary turret. It is unknown if he seeks the treasure of the Alimbic Cluster for the Space Pirates, or for himself, but he will remain with the Space Pirates as long as it's convenient. He enjoys missions that no other Space Pirate could accomplish because of his robotic physique. It should be noted that Weavel must have had some special value for the Space Pirates as he was saved and given a new body, when usually Space Pirates have little regard for the safety and/or death of their own kind (or any other beings for that matter).

Weapon of choice: Battlehammer - A powerful mortar beam that fires explosive shots rapidly in an arc with a very small splash radius. When Weavel wields it, it does more damage and has a far greater splash radius. According to the Nintendo Power guide, it has crude mechanics but is effective when properly used.

Altform: Halfturret - Weavel's body is split into two separate parts, dividing his health in half and making his lower body become an autonomus, stationary turret that shoots non affinity powered battlehammer shots. His upper body continues to move about freely (controlled by the player) wielding an energy sword. Damage taken by the upper half will not do any harm to the turret, but if the turret is attacked, it damages Weavel as a whole. If the turret is destroyed, Weavel will be left with only one health point.

Ridley is thier leader the pirates themselves are generic.

 

[alpha n00b]

will nintendo actually take requests for characters?, or will they just ignore us and put what they want in the game?, 'cause quite frankly, i really want: ridley, the SPs, megaman EXE., Zero (EXE.) & other characters you guys probaly don't care about. if someone knows then please tell me!

 

[The Basement Dweller]

No they won't, they will add who they want.
