Ridley for SSBB

[Phaazoid]

since they only updated 1 character tonight it will take longer than we hoped,,,

Expect a new character/trailer that isn't from 'Melee like Donkey Kong within two month. If we judge by what has happened so far, we get 2/3 characters a week so should take 7/8 weeks to finish off all 'Melee characters.

 

[Caael]

But some melee character might not be in the game, like Doc and Y. Link.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, I know.

 

[BoG]

Yeah, Ridley would be an AWESOME character, one of my most wanted.

 

[OmegaXXII]

Let's just cross our fingers and hope Ridley(samus greatest rival) makes in to Brawl.

 

[Deleted member]

The thing that points to it is his appearance in the 'Melee opening. They acknowledge his existance!

 

[Red Exodus]

Hey, has anyone considered using Ridley's tail for a grab or special grab like Bowser's? It could probably be used to grab people while airborne and I imagine ridley would be able to damage people in the grab while in the air or he would be able to grab and fly with the character. That'd be cool but it could become broken if not reflected upon seriously.

 

[Phaazoid]

@redexodus good idea i would love to see a tail grab.
@ smash daddy and they even scaled him down, plus he flies in the backround in the rising lava stage

do u reckon if the included him he'd have a more traditional ridley appearance (like at the beginning of melee), or something more along the lines of his prime or prime 3 (meta or phazon ridley or whatever u wanna call them) appearance? im not sure which i'd prefer personally, but i spose it all hinges on what they make samus (in armour) look like...

 

[Zarasai]

Rdley, just one of the many characters who belongs in over sonic

 

[Phaazoid]

ridley would probably end up as my main.

 

[ClarkJables]

i have a few problems with ridely

1. he seems just to **** powerful to get in brawl. he is fast, strong, does major damage, and has one of the best recoveries ever (flight)

2. i feel that his wings are to large and would get in the way of gameplay, especially if they were on his back. is they made them like his first appearance with batwings, then i would be more inclined as to the notion of ridely making it in

 

[Phaazoid]

@clarkjables but ridley would be slow on the ground, and we need a heavy character with multiple jumps. so far it is only small characters

 

[ClarkJables]

ok, he just always looked prety fast on land, but i see where yer going now. i still think his wings r to big

 

[Stryks]

He could always "fold" the wings just like Pit does, or something, that way they wont look so big...

 

[ClarkJables]

i don't know, i think bat wings would work the best for him, because
A.they wouldn't take up as much room as back wings,
B.flight animations would be easier,
C.you wouldn't have to constantly fold and unfold them,
D.and he would look badass with bat wings

but thats jus my opinion

 

[Phaazoid]

i still like his normal wings better, i don't think they will be changed if he makes it in.

 

[ClarkJables]

well as i said before, the bat wings were his original look, the back wings were a change.

and i still think they are to big, they are about the size of 2 mario's, and how would the physics of that work. if an opponent runs into them, is he damaged, can he walk through the wings, i just think there are to many issues with trying to put wings of that calibur into a game

 

[Stryks]

Yeah but since most of the charcaters will get their most recent look, Im bettin he'll get back wings...

 

[ClarkJables]

mario's not using his mario galaxy look, fox isn't using his most recent look , besides, going old-school never hurt anyone. plus the bat wings are more convienient and more badass

 

[Stryks]

Mario IS using his galaxy look, but being sakurai he added more detail to his overalls, but indeed hes using the galaxy look

Fox is using the command look, compare his face with the assault look and the command look, he has the SFC face, but with added details to the look...

And in what game does DK NOT use the tie?

 

[ClarkJables]

fox doesn't look that similar to me. sure the basic outfits are similar, but the overall design is very different

the mario galaxy look is very similar to every other recent appearance mario has had, while the brawl version is alot more detailed, plus his shoes are darker

and i was wrong about dk so i will edit that out of my original post

 

[Stryks]

Well fox does indeed have the DS look, while the SFA look (just the face) is more similair to the melee fox, im talking about faces and not the clothes here...

and Mario looks far more like the galaxy look than the other games, IMO...

 

[Phaazoid]

the fox face in brawl looks like a mix of assault and command, but a little more like command (headset)

(both games rocked)

but most characters are getting there most recent look, tp link. the brawl mario looks better than galaxy and mario party 8. samus looks like she has her prime suit on.

 

[Stryks]

Yeah Samus indeed has the prime suit (though her visor aint correct but meh ), anyway im guessin falco will have the command look, ganondorf and zelda will have the TP look, and ridley will probably have the MP3 look (gotta love the wings) or the meta ridley look, Im hopin we get alt. costumes just like in SC, and not just sawp colors...

Id KIL for martio strikers charged costumes to be part of the alt. in brawl...

 

[Zebesian Pirate]

If there were to be alternate colours I would want a purple Ridley with the orange wings he seemed to retain from being Meta-Ridley, another to match his Super Metroid colouration (a different shade of purple and pinkish-purple wings http://mmxz.zophar.net/rpg/metroid3/ridley.gif) and yet another that resembles the totally incorrect red Ridley on the Super Metroid box art/cartridge art. That's two team colours covered and a bit of variety. For further alternate colours perhaps the wing membranes could change colour and also his eyes (many attacks could display his wings prominently to facilitate this).

Just my thoughts.

 

[Caael]

I think he should look ( in size and colour and all) just like he did in the melee opening video.

 

[Deleted member]

X-Parasite Ridley looks badass enough to warrant a costume, right?

 

[Phaazoid]

they are probably going to have ridley similar looking to the one in the ssbm trailer, unless they update to metal ridley, which is what i hope.

 

[Deleted member]

Ridley from the introduction for 'Melee is likely...

 

[Zarasai]

oh god i hope not, they best use a newer ridley as they are updating all the character models so far (atleast so far as i can tell) to pretty much the most current one, and made newer models for the very old characters (like pit)

 

[Shuma]

Reading a little about Ridley in Wikipedia it seems he is not only the Space Pirates General, but he's also Samus's Nemesis/Rival, Since he killed Samus's Parents and destroyed the village were samus lived, and since that day Samus vowed to get revenge.

Yes. Ridley is a must.

 

[Phaazoid]

@shuma
ridley killed her parents and destroyed her village? never heard that. that is more of a reason ridley should be in. set a level 9 ridley vs a level 9 samus in stamina mode. and watch an epic battle of arch nemeses.

 

[lanky_gunner]

i do feel that they will give us a broad collection of costumes for ridley, and luckily we can choose whatever costume we want, so yeah...

Ridley for brawl!

 

[Shuma]

@samusrules93:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridley_(Metroid)

And it's somewhere:

http://www.mechadrake.com/metroidmanga.html

Page 50-55 you see Ridley killin Samus's mother, and yes, Ridley talks.

 

[Stryks]

The manga story was (I believe) taken from the zero mission game, all the info is from there...

 

[Shuma]

Well Although we learn in Zero Mission that Samus growed up with the Choze we never knew that Ridley killed her parents.

 

[Zarasai]

funny i knew that for a long time - wasnt something about it on the smash melee trophies?

i think maybe thats where is first read it

 

[dynamic_entry]

i've said it before and i'll say it again..................

......................................Ridley rocks my socks off.
