Ridley for SSBB

[kaid]

As I said, anyone else is a nice bonus.

 

[the_air_up_there7]

I would love seeing this character for brawl.

 

[Brawlmatt202]

As far as Metroid characters go, he's my favorite for Brawl. He also seems very popular among fans.

 

[Zarasai]

yeah ridley really needs the spot in brawl. hes been a part of the series just too long to ignore.

Possible ideas on specials/stats/throws/etc
dont want to give number ratings here just saying general ideas


Weight - high if added as meta ridley(heavy metal plateing after all), medium-high if just as normal ridley
Ground move speed - medium-slow
aerial movement - excellent. hes got wings after all
Jumps - multiple. more than just 2 but less than say kirby's 5 or 6. jumps reach greater horizontal distance and a relatively short vertical distance (for the same reasons and barrag glide, explained below)
general power rating - slower more powerful stuff on ground, faster and weaker attacks in the air

special B moves (as added as Meta Ridley)

B - Fiery breath. *is not similar to bowser's* medium/long range fire attack. creates blast of fire the height of say kirby at chest-level above the ground. strikes anything between ridley and where it dissipates for damage based on distance. if your right there next to him you take heavier damage, less as you move away from him. at large distance the damage is negligible to none. close opponents also catch fire and burn for a few more points of damage.
medium startup time (compareable to about 80% of falcon punch startup time.)

B> Shrieking terror. Lets out a terrrible screech in a wave a sound. causes minimal to 0% damage but forces nearby (as in really nearby) players to run in the opposite direction for a few seconds. does not work on opponents who are facing the other direction or holding a hammer. causes airborne opponents to facefall onto the ground. primarily a defensive manouevre (sp?). has a short-medium startup time but little lag upon completion, allowing you to have the time to get a fire breath off would be one use.

note this uses a similar animation as his roars when he is grounded during the fight in Prime (you know when he screeches/shrieks and than you would have to blast his head) only alot loud

EDIT: Came back and finished later

Bv - Dive. Jumps up and swoops forward with claws ready to seriously make chalkboard music out of somebody. If caught in the middle of the dive, it will grab the opponent and mashing/dragging them into the ground for greater damage. on airborne opponents the corecctly timed dive will spike them with his tail rather than dragging them along the ground.

B^ - barrage glider. Like the meta ridley fight in prime, Sends him in the direction controlled by user. drops little missiles which fall down (speed and trajectory altered by your direction of motion and momentum) to bomb small opponent. flies a fairly decent distance but bombs only drop for the first body length or two. The distance will be affected by direction, IE used as a recovery on horizontal distance gets much farther than trying to recover upwards. The idea is gliding takes less energy while flying up (and being covered in freaking metal plates) would be exhausting, so you get much farther of a horizontal or slightly downward glide. The bombs do small damag indivudally with low to almost no knockback. damage would be great if you jumped up high and glide'd straight down, as the bombs would fall faster and all land in the same area.


THROWS.

grab-attack - gets hungry and decideds its snack time. im sure you figrue out the rest.

Forward - throws em forward a short distance than blasts em with firebeam stlye attack

Down - Flies up and dive bombs, landing on them as they hit the ground. can be escaped from *just* before reaching the ground, giving ridley a unique dining experience with the taste of floor.

backward -Tosses them backward and smacks them with his tail.

up. holds on to them above his head using his powerful jaw while preparing a fire breath. fries them and then tosses them (upwards)

Smash attacks

side smash - winds up and smashes them with his claws. 45 degree trajectory kinda thing.

Down smash - the tail whipping attack he uses when on the ground in prime. winds up and lets it go, smashins opponent to either side with his metal plated tail and koncking them back and a low trajectory.

up smash - Smashes them upwards with his head (winds up by having his head lower then reaches up to his full extent and snaps at them.


SUPER SMASH! WITH DIAGARAM!

Sorry about all the .'s but it didnt space out properly. i cant figure out hwo to get it to do so so im a giving up on it. anyways its supposed to be he flies over the stage and shoots with laser firebreath which then causes explosions.
so yeah he flies over and does his pew pew laserbeam thing for damage. then a big explosion happens where the laser passed (like the one part in the bomberman64 story opening vid)

cmon somebody reply i wanna know what you think T.T

 

[Brawlmatt202]

cmon somebody reply i wanna know what you think T.T

I'll reply, but only because you wanted someone to reply.

Ridley's my most wanted character for Brawl, but as far as most wanted character overall, he's not too high.

Anyone else?

 

[Stryks]

Brawlmatt he was talking about somone repliying on what he/she tough about the moveset...

I find it to be ok, to much words makes me not want to read it completely, tough I liked that u did not gave him a third jump (recovery upb) seeing how he'll have multiple jumps, giving him a recovery move would just make him broken in the recovery department...

 

[Kirby Superstar]

Wouldn't be interesting if he could grab IN AIR with his talons? THAT would be an interesting ability. ply, he should be able to float like peach in mid air, but much longer, cause if anyone has beaten MP1, Ridley can fly in the air for quite a while, and be extremely fast in air.

Moveset Suggestion________

A: Claw swipe: swipes his claws forward, doing 10-11%.
A^ : tail slice: he fling his tail upward really fast while ducking. does 15 - 20%.
A> : wing slash: dashes forward fast, but s short distance and swings his sharp wings out. does 15-18%.
Av : Tail Tornado: swings his tail around on the ground really fast while ducking, and it lasts 1.8 seconds. does 21 - 23%

TILTS
A^ : air peck: he quickly jabs his beak upward. 10 - 12%
A> : Tail strike: does a small whip with his tail in the directing tilted. does 10 - 11%.
Av : puncture: swings his claws on the ground VERY fast. does 5 - 7%

Running left or right A hit: Jumps horizontal and bites: does 9 - 11%

SPECIALs______

Special Smash move (when u pick up that smash token): Fiery Furnace: flies into the atmosphere, and plunges straight down. (like a cutscene) then he opens his mouth and fires a huge beam of heat, owning anyone on the map.

B^: Super Flap: Bends his legs in and throws his wings down really hard, blowing anyone below him downward, and he gets really good vertical distance, but just some horizontal distance. does 0%, but has a good effect.

B>: Fiery Harpoon: Tail cathes fire and he makes sort of a link B + up thing, but it burns the people around him and does 20 damage no matter what.

B: heat beam: if tapped, he fires a medium - large fire ball that does 12 damage, but takes 1 second to fire, but goes fast. if held down, he charges the beam. the longer charged, the thicker it gets, and does more damage. damage may vary 12 - 28%

Bv: Earthquake stun: Ridley swings his tail down onto the ground, cause anyone in medium distances or closer to be hit. but, this is different than DK's. they fall over and are stunned, so he can attack. the more u use it, the less time they are stunned. they can jump to avoid if in Pwnage range.

Grabs: can't think of much, but i think it would be interesting if he could grab in air, and stay in air for as long as they are held. can anyone come up with air and ground throws? and also ariel hits. thats all i got.

 

[Stryks]

Dude the grab ridley does in almost every game, he grabs the oponent with one claw/hand whatever, and then either he bites the oponent (like bowsers <>b) and then u do the throw or he can just slash him with the other claw, which he does in MP3, dont recall he does it in mp1...

well he has a sort of recovery. it just isnt very useful for vertical distance, IE if you get spiked youve only got your jumps (as the B^ would get about as far as an air dodge, maybe less). if your way out to the side you can cover a great distance with jumps and glide. what i was thinking is metal plating + gravity = spiked ftl. Im just trying to make it so he is unqiue, powerful, but not overpowered or broken.

Ridley won't be in as a playable character.

You may argue with what I said. I won't bother argue with close-minded internet kids.

So much irony, I don't know where to start. However, I'll choose not to feed the troll this time.

I'm surprised this thread got revived though, I thought we talked the death out of Ridley.

Nope..This still one matter left? Which version Ridley will get in? There is way too many.

 

[SmashYou6666]

Are you for real? I just said that Ridley won't be in as a playable character. You must be 12 or something.

Please point to me where is the irony. Look how I'm gonna crush your statement.

And since when posting his opinion is considered trolling? You must be 12 too.

 

[LukeFonFabre]

I was talking about the close minded comment you made despite you're adamant that Ridley won't be playable, and the fact that you're calling us kids while on the internet. And coming into a topic and stating the character won't be playable (never said anything about opinion, in fact it looks likes you stated as fact) is obviously done to provoke a response, i.e. trolling. That and you're going around calling people kids and acting like an ***. And I don't see how you crushed my statement, or are you still thinking up a reply?

Don't think I'm intimidated or insulted, I've seen people worse than you on forums before.

 

[Stryks]

Ridleys chances in brawl are very high, why u ask? stay with me smashyou (im pretty sure UR the guy whose 12)...

Sakurai stated that hes wants better represent the metroid series in brawl, being bad represented in the last 2 games, but because smash has obtained popularity these last years, and sakurai wants to do things rite? what does this mean, im bettin we'll c at least 2 more metroid characters in brawl...

Now theres only a handful of character that can be added, but every metroid fan agrees on one thing: We want ridley; like samus, ridley is Synonymous to the metroid series, being samus main enemy in almost every metroid, and being incredibly popular, and with what sakurai said about representing the metroid series better, the guy is practically in...

Now smalled minded people say he cant be in cause hes too big, my answer: bowser size in SM64 and his size in melee; ridley can be easily rezised, if he would get the same size he has in the melee opnening, no one would somplain, the size is perfect for smash, and with such a big fanbase, seeing ridley in brawl in not impossible, in fact its highly likely...

Other metroid character that can be added are Dark samus (If u say she would be a samus clone then ur officially 8), sylux, weavel and rundus, but this aint the place to talk about it...

 

[DarkKnight077]

Are you for real? I just said that Ridley won't be in as a playable character. You must be 12 or something.

You didn't post any facts. You just noted oh crap he won't be playable...so let me just piss some people off. That's is what the negative nancies Sticky is for.

You call me 12..even though you act younger and arrogant..

@Stryks: Which Ridley do you think might get in? MP Ridley? MP3 Ridely? Super Metroid Ridley? Metroid Fusion Ridley?

Edit:Yes I'm alive... -.- I just been errr playing my consoles a lot.

 

[Zarasai]

just FYI, it is spelled Synonymous

 

[SmashYou6666]

I was waiting for your reply to crush your statement.

Don't think I'm intimidated or insulted, I've seen people worse than you on forums before.

Well I'm glad that you see the blank statement that I said. But now, let me tell you this, do you say the same thing when someone post a blank statement like: "Ridley will be in" or "Ridley is guaranted"? Of course not! (playing's devil advocate) He wish the same thing as you do.

I wanted to see who will come and bash me for what I said, proving that when someone doesn't have same thinking as the others, people will start bash on them. The thing is that when someone is not on your side, you and your internet friends will bash him just for the sake that he doesn't have the general concsencious of the boardies on this site. If someone would say something that you want to hear, you will let him pass, even if it's blank statement. For example: "Ridley won't be in = trolling" "Ridley will be in =/= trolling"

And yes, I was trying to provoke reactions.

Internet kids...

You didn't post any facts. You just noted oh crap he won't be playable...so let me just piss some people off. That's is what the negative nancies Sticky is for.

Idiot, the discussion I put is Ridley won't be in as a playable character. YOU take it from here. Do whatever you want with it. I DON'T CARE.

Re-read what you first wrote and try to understand.

 

[Stryks]

Man ur ********, if ur just posting to c what others post just to bash them, then u fail at life im tellin u...

By placing Ridley wont be in brawl, without giving facts, opinion or anything ur practically saying u have facts and are 100% sure he wont be in, thus this summons people like myself that DO give opinion, facts and reasons and actualyl wanting to debate, unlike other kids that just do stuff to provoque others, that what my 9 year old cousin does...

I'm retarted because I'm trying to prove a point? ****ing idiot!

Yeah, that pratically part is what I am not. You don't know **** about me, stay there while you at it.

Oh and for the people who says "Ridley is guaranted" they must have opinion, facts and debate just like you do...moron.

 

[Stryks]

Yeah sorry, proving people post when u say something negative is very original and smart...

Most of the poeple here that want ridley in give their opinions and facts, those that dont are either new on forums or just dont last as long as other in boards, Ill stop this porr excuse of a debate and wait until someone actually posts something SMART on the topic...

[Sandy]

To start out with, the Zebesian Space Pirate Dragon you see before you, or Ridley, is a pretty major Nintendo villain like Bowser and Ganondorf, yes? Therefore, I think he deserves his own spot in SSB Brawl just as much as they do, especially since Bowser and Ganondorf already were in SSBM, and not just because he's my personal favorite Nintendo character.

Also, seeing as how Ridley has been in every single Metroid game so far (except Metroid II: Return Of Samus, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime Hunters), Ridley has made more appearances than that of any other Metroid bad guy. Ridley is also one of the Space Pirates' leaders (if not THE leader) according to the instruction booklets of most of the Metroid games as well as other sources. Therefore, he's probably the most important character in the Metroid series overall besides Samus, especially since he caused the death of Samus's family and home planet in the Metroid e-manga, and since he's by far the most important and notable enemy/antagonist in the Metroid series, he's too imporant of a Nintendo character to be left as a result, unlike Weavel, Sylux, and those other Hunters who have only appeared in 1 game.

Because of all that, if there is going to be another Metroid character added into SSB Brawl besides Zero Suit Samus, Ridley may most likely be added, unless HAL Laboratory is too clumsy to realize how major of a Nintendo character he is, or if they happen to de-grade Ridley into some Master Hand or Giga Bowser rip-off for that matter (a boss in other words). I mean after all, he was shown in the intro of SSBM wasn't he? They even had a trophy of him in SSBM, which proves Ridley's significance as a Nintendo and Metroid character even further. Now then...

As for how Ridley would be when he's playable, I think his physical melee attacks would simply involve using his claws (as well as his foot claws), fangs, wings, and that spear-like tail of his. His special attacks would most likely include that fire/plasma breath of his that he's naturally able to exhale (in a way, that kind of makes Ridley a flying Dragon version of Bowser), and if you were to compare Ridley with those kind of moves to Bowser, he would be far from too powerful. Besides that, if Ridley was really too powerful to be in SSB Brawl like some people have said he is in the past for some reason, Samus would have never been able to defeat him in any of the Metroid games, now would she?

Now we all know (or at least we should know) that Ridley has always just been a boss in the Metroid games he has appeared in (7 out of 10 Metroid games to be precise), and not a playable character like Samus Aran, but does that alone mean that Ridley should just be a boss in SSB Brawl as well? I don't think so. I mean look at Bowser and Ganondorf. They've always been Nintendo game bosses since as far as I can remember being a Nintendo fan, and yet they became playable in SSBM. In my opinion though, if Ridley doesn't become playable, then he shouldn't be in the game at all. I'd rather not have Ridley/Meta Ridley to be lowered down to the level of a Master Hand or Giga Bowser rip-off.

Unsurprisingly however, a lot of people said Bowser would be too big and too powerful for a playable character before SSBM came out. Boy, were they wrong. Whether or not those people who think Ridley wouldn't fit into SSB Brawl want to admit it, he has a pretty good chance at becoming playable, especially after seeing Zero Suit Samus, Wario, Meta Knight, Pit (who also has wings like Ridley ), and Solid Snake make unexpected appearances in SSB Brawl.

Now as you can see from those above image of Ridley in SSBM, he would be far from too big to become playable, even if he is like a couple inches taller Bowser (though I'd personally rather have him have that brownish-black color rather than purple as his main color/costume). Besides that, even if they decided to use Meta Ridley or the Ridley from Metroid Prime 3 (shown at this year's E3) instead of the Ridley from Super Metroid or the one in the above images (which are much smaller than Meta Ridley and the Ridley in MP3:C), all they would have to do is simply re-size him just like they did with Bowser and Ganondorf in SSBM so that he could be added into SSB Brawl, and Ridley has just as much of a right to be re-sized as anybody else does (if he even needs to be re-sized that is). Just like Bowser and Ganondorf from SSBM. As far as which version of Ridley should be playable however, I personally used to think it should've been Meta Ridley, which I even made up my own complete moveset for him that's shown at the bottom of this post, and I must say, it was very well-done for the time it was made, even if it may seem a little out-dated now. Needless to say though, there are some other Ridley movesets out there that are a bit more innovative than mine.

Now however, I would personally rather have the regular Ridley (not Meta) to be a playable character in SSB Brawl instead (as far as appearances of the normal Ridley go however, I would prefer the look of Ridley from Super Metroid, if not the wicked color scheme of the Ridley in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption). I mainly want the original Ridley to be playable more-so than Meta Ridley because I think that Meta Ridley being able to use those multiple missiles, meson bombs, and all that stuff as a playable character might make him a little too powerful, and would give the user playing as him an unfair advantage as a result. The normal Ridley's special attacks on the other hand wouldn't be anywhere near as cheap.

As for his flying abilities, they could simply limit those to where Ridley could only flap his wings to get back to the stage up to 5 times or so after double-jumping. After all, they did put a limit on Kirby's, Mewtwo's, and Jigglypuff's (who are able to naturally fly, or float in the air for long periods of time in the series that they originated from) floating abilities in the past 2 SSB games they've been in so far. Needless to say though, Ridley not being able to fly at all or him having his wings removed in SSB Brawl would just look wrong and be considered in humane (to me at least).

About Meta Ridley however, Nintendo/HAL Laboratory could add in an extra multi-player mode or something in SSB Brawl where you're able to play as all the boss characters (kind of like Giant Melee mode in SSBM) including Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Giga Bowser, and Meta Ridley (assuming that Meta Ridley would be a boss).

All and all though, I think the normal Ridley should be a playable character in SSB Brawl, and that Meta Ridley should be a boss. After all, they did have both the regular Bowser as a playable character and Giga Bowser as a boss in SSBM, so why couldn't they do the same with Ridley? (rhetorical question)

Meta Ridley moveset:

B-button attack: Ultra-thermal Flamestrike Projector (or Flamethrower for short). It's the attack that is shown in the Scan Visor image above. It works pretty similar to how Samus's Charge Beam functions. It'll start charging fire/plasma from the mouth, and then release it afterwards. The attack's power and distance is determined by how long the attack charged of course.

Left/Right+B: Multi-Missile System. For those who are familiar with Samus's Left/Right+B move in SSBM, Meta Ridley's move would work in a similar fashion except he launches multiple missiles instead of just 1. To prevent the player from having an unfair advantage however (in other words, to prevent Meta Ridley from being too powerful as a playable character), the multiple missiles that he shoots out of his chest would be slightly weaker than Samus's Missile.

Down+B: Meson Bomb Launcher. Somewhat similar to Samus's Down+B move (which are the Morph Ball Bombs), but this attack shoots a lot more than just at 1 time, and can also be done while on the ground (not just while flying). They detonate slower than Samus's bombs, but do a little more damage when they explode or hit the opponent on impact.

Up+B: Afer double-jumping, Meta Ridley is then able to flap his wings to get back to the stage if he's ever knocked off up to 5 times (this happens when you keep using the button you use to jump) like the way Kirby and Jigglypuff can float up to 5 times, except that Meta Ridley can do a little bit of damage to the opponents if they get too close to his fire-like wings... but when you use Meta Ridley's actual Up+B move on the other hand, he spins around using both his tail and his wings which does similar damage to Samus's Screw Attack and looks a lot like Link/Young Link's Up+B move, except you're able to do a little more damage with the attack if you happen to be closer to the opponent.

A-button move while in air: He spins his tail around downwards, in front, and behind himself. It normally does 14% worth of damage.

Up+A while in air: Does a fierce uppercut with one of his claws, which the average amount of damage it does is 8%.

Forward+A while in air: Does decent damage with one of his hand claws that causes the opponent to fly upward if he/she has taken enough damage, which counts as a meteor move if it does enough damage. The average amount of damage this move does is 13%.

Backward+A while in air: Does a flip in the air while striking the opponent with his spear-like tail in whatever direction Meta Ridley is facing. It usually does 7% worth of damage.

Down+A while in air: Slams the opponent down to the ground with his tail if used at the right time. It usually does 14% worth of damage.

A-button repeatedly: Attacks the opponent rapidly with his hand claws. Just like how Captain Falcon does those rapid punches when you keep tapping the A-button. Needless to say, there's been other characters that have had that ability as well...

A-button move when dashing/running: Does some damage while tackling the opponent quickly, like when Meta Ridley attacks you in Metroid Prime 1 after his wings burn out as shown in the image below. It does around 12% worth of damage, but becomes stronger after each time it's used.

A+Left/Right: Impales the opponent with his tail. You get to control the direction that his tail aims at by using the joy-stick after pressing left or right. If you wanted to aim his tail upwards for instance, you would press the joy-stick diagonally upwards. It usually does 15% worth of damage.

A+Down: Snaps at the opponent's legs with his sharp fangs. Does 5% worth of damage.

A+Up: Knocks the opponent upwards a little bit with one of his fire-like wings. Does 7% worth of damage.

Smash+Left/Right: Uses a small fire-ball that only works at close range. If you charge up the smash move before releasing it, he does a double claw swipe instead. Does 17% worth of damage. 22% if the smash attack is charged up.

Smash+Down: Swings his tail around in both directions (left and right) while on the ground. Does 15% worth of damage, and 20% if the attack is charged up.

Smash+Up: Uses both of his fire-like wings to clap the opponent (I guess you could say it would be like how someone uses their hands to catch a fly ), which causes the opponent to get knocked upwards some as a result. Does 19% worth of damage, and 24% if the smash attack is charged up.

Z-button move (grab) when pressed repeatedly: Bites opponent quickly with his sharp fangs. Does little damage.

Z button+Forward: Throws the enemy forward and immediately shoots a few fireballs at him/her while they're still in the air.

Z button+Backward: Throws the opponent backward with one of his hands. Pretty self-explanatory.

Z button+Down: Slams the opponent down to the ground and then slaps him/her with his tail.

Z button+Up: Throws the opponent upward a little bit by using one of his hands, and as the opponent is about to fall back down to the ground towards him, he then smacks the opponent farther upward with his tail.

And of course, Meta Ridley's taunt would be that screech he always uses.
Long live the Zebesian Space Pirate Dragon... and thank you for reading this message for those who took the time to do so.

I like it, but id rather see meta ridley as the model and then use different color schemes. just looks cooler i think

Meta Ridley isn't the true Ridley however.

Ridley if he makes it into Brawl would be the size of Bowser.
The Largest Character in the game.

If anything.

Meta Ridley should be Ridley's Alternate Costume.
Since that's what he basically is.

Another Costume for Ridley.

Alt costumes for ridley:

Meta ridley
Super metroid ridley (red colored)
zero mission ridley (brown color)
MP3 ridley (quite possibly the most kick *** ridley form in history)

and I give a big applause to Frank fly XD

So purple Ridley would be the default Ridley, correct?

 

[Stryks]

Yeah I guess, tough Im not diggin the purple ridley, I would rather use MP3 ridley instead...

 

[Numa Dude]

His default will probably be his most recent look.

Doubt it, ridley has had so many looks in the metroid games, yet its possbile I dont think it will happen, I get where u comin from:

Mario= galaxy look
Link= TP look
Fox= DS look/SFg4 hybrid look with more details

Yet seeing how ridley has had so many looks, I think hes main look will be the brown one, seeing how in zero mission (a remake of the 1 nes metroid, were it all began) he was brown...

still idk maybe sakurai can make his very own ridley, a kick *** look with detailed stuff like maybe scales or something XD...
