Whoever had the misfortune to say ' Assist Trophy' doesn't have long to live.



I'm scared. Very scared now.

"The biggest and the heaviest of fighters"

Either Ridley isn't there * SHOCK* or he's not the biggest. PEOPLE WE NEED ACTION. MORE AGAINST HAL LABS. TO JAPAN!

i personally would expect ridley to be lighter than bowser, i mean that shells gotta weigh a bit, plus hes got those bondage straps with metal spikes wrapped around every limb. hes bound to be a fatty. biggest is a worry though. maybe ridley has been scaled down to tiny size. that'd be funny. he will be pretty compact though, probably only stretch out for something like a taunt.

i dont think he'll be an assist trophy either. sakurai says the majority of them will be invincible, but ridley has boss music, which implies you can fight him, and obviously if you are made to fight him theres a way to win (duh).

i dont think yesterday or todays update 'unconfirms' riddles. hes still confirmed in my mind. but whatever happens, any ridley is better than no ridley, even if it is just a sadistic tease on sakurai's part.

"The biggest and the heaviest of fighters"

.............What does this mean?

OK i don't think Ridley is as heavy as Bowser...but biggest???

eithe he is not there or he'll be an AT..

WHY SAKURAI WHY?!?

You know how you don't call a long, lanky person big? Because big ~= fat.

Ridley will hunch over. He will doubtlessly be the longest of characters.

 

[Red Exodus]

Well, we could always check official sites to compare the weights of the 2 baddies to see if Bowser is heavier than Ridley.

 

[Fawriel]

Problem: Their size keeps changing. At least Bowser's.

 

[LukeFonFabre]

It's probably like how people say that Elephants are bigger than Giraffes, as while Giraffes are technically taller, Elephants fill out space more. Ridley is incredibly Lanky, so even if he ends up a little taller than Bowser he probably wouldn't look as big.

Though it strikes me as just a general term to describe Bowser, seeing as you'd call Sumo Wrestlers in general as the biggest and the heaviest of fighters too. I don't think Sakurai really has other characters in mind when describing these characters, so I don't think he's worried about contradicting himself from non revealed characters yet, only taking the revealed characters into account.

Otherwise G&W has been unconfirmed by Kirby's update.

 

[TDub301]

Ya, to me heaviest and biggest are the same thing. Height and size are not the same thing. You might think NBA players are big, but a lot of those 7 footers only weigh like 250 or 260. Many football players are bigger than that being around 6'2". This doesn't unconfirm Ridley at all. Besides, Sakurai likes to play with people's emotions, that's why he didn't mention ATs until after he described S.Goroh.

 

[majora_787]

Hm.....I just thought. if we got the actual measurements for Ridle, somebody could make a meta-Ridley suit, and we could use THAT to teach nintendo a lesson for making Ridley an AT

 

[Gypsy Lee]

Will that work?

 

[lanky_gunner]

just looking at bowser and how evil he looks, makes me wonder how sakurai will make ridley look..........................awesome

and to comment on your picture Gypsy (the mother ridley one)...ahem


AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ridley for Brawl

 

[Caael]

3 times as tall.

 

[Enlong]

3 times as tall.

Wait. Which game is that one from? It looks almost like one of them mechanized Ridley robots.

 

[Gypsy Lee]

That's from Zero Mission, and it is a mechanized Ridley robot.

 

[Enlong]

Mmmhmm. Thought so. And anyway, Ridley's size shouldn't be too much trouble. A small bit of subtle resizing wouldn't be too bad, and he's usually hunched over anyway, so he's of manageable hight, just a bit long.

 

[tirkaro]

is it too late to become a generic space pirate yet? >_>
anyway, ridley for brawl!!

 

[chiyo-chan' dad]

I would like to thank this this thread, at first I did not want Ridley to be in Ssbb, bt now he's my most wanted newcomer. (Just saying)

 

[Ferret]

Bowser was reseized so often...there schouldn't be a big problem to do the same with Ridley.
(Ridley was actually reseized in the SSBM Intro)

Ridley ftw!!!

 

[the grim lizard]

I'm still Kraid...

Oh, and when were we planning this invasion of the Brawl development studio?? Because...they sure didn't reveal Ridley yet. Did I already miss it? Sorry if I did, it isn't easy to get around when you're a four-story scaly monster with hands coming out of your stomach...

 

[DonkeySmasher]

@ the Grim Lizard

don't worry you will know the attack has begun when a snowstorm hits brawl develepmont area since i'm Thardus

 

[The_Corax_King]

Ridley would make a cool assist...

just not a playable character...

 

[chiyo-chan' dad]

Ridley would make a cool assist...

just not a playable character...

Man, no,no,no and no. It goes like this:

Ridley would make a cool playable character...

just not a assist...

 

[Gypsy Lee]

Ridley would make a cool assist...

just not a playable character...

Could you at least state a reason why he wouldn't make a good playable character?

 

[the grim lizard]

Ridley would make a cool assist...

just not a playable character...

(It's gotta be said...)

Stupid internet kids!!1

 

[Jopaan]

Ridley would make a cool assist...

State your reasons you fool. Besides, I cant even imagine Ridley being an AT. He's just too popular and made for Smash.
Listen to this kid.


:freak:

 

[The_Corax_King]

Wow instant flame...

He's too big... and would be a way too awkward as a playable character...

Even a boss would be better than a playable character...

You have to admit... a shrunken ridley would look ridiculous... he needs to be BIG and mean...

 

[Johnknight1]

State your reasons you fool. Besides, I cant even imagine Ridley being an AT. He's just too popular and made for Smash.

:freak:

Seriously, even Japan wants him, and they generally don't like Metroid gamers, or basically any shooter! Top that!

 

[lanky_gunner]

Wow instant flame...

Even a boss would be better than a playable character...

You have to admit... a shrunken ridley would look ridiculous... he needs to be BIG and mean...

you only get instant flame cause you came in a thread with tons of supporters without giving any logical thought to your opinion. not very smart man.

well we've argued this before, so i'll just say that if you look at the melee intro, ridley was scaled down and didn't look that awkward, right? he still looked big and mean, right?

and what boss are you refering too? ridley is himself a boss, you don't narrow the subject down.

 

[The_Corax_King]

Boss as in masterhand or giga bowser... He would fit better in that category IMO...

And even though he was scaled down in the melee intro he was still pretty huge...

 

[Gypsy Lee]

In the Melee intro, they had to take out his tail for him to fit. And no, he didn't look cool at all. So yeah, stop using that as an argument guys....

But the size argument phails. We all know that characters can be scaled to fit in the game.

 

[lanky_gunner]

Boss as in masterhand or giga bowser... He would fit better in that category IMO...

And even though he was scaled down in the melee intro he was still pretty huge...

huge, he was only a bit taller than Samus! he was bowser size.

and masterhand? i can't see anyway of masterhand being playable, ESPECIALLY over Ridley

 

[The_Corax_King]

But ridley is proportioned in a wierd way...

To scale him down they would have to cut down his tail (like you said) and also his wings...

His wings are such a huge part of his body...

If his body were proportioned to the other characters, his wings would be way to big...

If his entire form (wings and tail etc) were all scaled, his body would be tiny because his wings make up such a large part of his volume...


colbusman: I said ridley as a boss like masterhand or gigabowser...

meaning an event match or a part of adventure mode etc...

 

[lanky_gunner]

you can't have ridley be a boss and not be playable. this would cause riots all across the world, and especially here.

whoa, ridley didn't have a tail, that is weird. well anyway i think his tail and wings could work cause of two reasons

Mewtwo and Pit

 

[Johnknight1]

huge, he was only a bit taller than Samus! he was bowser size.

and masterhand? i can't see anyway of masterhand being playable, ESPECIALLY over Ridley

WE call it gameshark and action replay, lol! People always find their ways!

But ridley is proportioned in a wierd way...

To scale him down they would have to cut down his tail (like you said) and also his wings...

Mewtwo's got a mad long tail so, wat=??? Does that get in the way? NO! Also, Pit's legs are super long, so wat=???

His wings are such a huge part of his body...

So are Pit's wings, and I wonder if he'll get in.

If his body were proportioned to the other characters, his wings would be way to big...

Pit! Pit's Wings are huge, so wat=???

If his entire form (wings and tail etc) were all scaled, his body would be tiny because his wings make up such a large part of his volume...

Not really, he could have a big wing, and still be about the body size of Samus.

colbusman: I said ridley as a boss like masterhand or gigabowser...

Okay, Japan wants him and they rejected the Metroid series.

meaning an event match or a part of adventure mode etc...

Ya right, that would be a waste of time making a boss, other than Kraid or such. Besides, 10 times as many people want him than people who don't want him, so HA! Also, we all know his theme will be in Brawl, so he's semi-confirmed, whether as a Assist Trophy, or Playable Character, but I think as a Boss is out of the question=takes too long=they can just add him instead.

 

[tirkaro]

But ridley is proportioned in a wierd way...

"weird" is just a more negative definition for "unique" or "special."
and sakurai wanted to impliment more unique characters

To scale him down they would have to cut down his tail (like you said) and also his wings...

they wouldn't HAVE to cut off his tail. just give it no hitbox.

His wings are such a huge part of his body...

he can retract them.

If his body were proportioned to the other characters, his wings would be way to big...

see above

If his entire form (wings and tail etc) were all scaled, his body would be tiny because his wings make up such a large part of his volume...

retract them, no hitbox, etc.

colbusman: I said ridley as a boss like masterhand or gigabowser...

meaning an event match or a part of adventure mode etc...

nah.

 

[The_Corax_King]

mewtwo was already the right size... and pit's wings are tiny when compared to the rest of his body... unlike ridley's...

 

[Johnknight1]

mewtwo was already the right size... and pit's wings are tiny when compared to the rest of his body... unlike ridley's...

Actually, Pit's Wings are huge, as such is shown above! They are a bit smaller than his body, and Ridley is just a bit bigger, so I see no reason why Ridley wouldn't fit.

 

[The_Corax_King]

I knew someone would bring up that picture...

Look at the actual game graphics...

 

[lanky_gunner]

ridley's wingspan compared to his body would be the same as pit's wingspan compared to his body.

so if they could do it for Pit, they can do it for ridley

 

[Gypsy Lee]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE, STOP WITH THE PAGE LONG MULTI QUOTES!!!!

Seriously, you guys, you quote what everyone said, then you say like three words that aren't even important to the conversation. Most of the time, they're just "I agree XD" and that's it!

EDIT: I posted this after the two multiquotes, but three people posted before me. So that's directed at those...
