ridley not expected?

[soviet prince]

on neogaf it seems like ppl don't expect him to be in anymore, do you think his chances are that bad?

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Eh, depends on which community you ask. NeoGAF views the game a lot differently than we do. Either way, this is probably best taken to the Ridley thread.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Unnecessary thread is unnecessary.

 

[Morbi]

It depends on your definition of "expected".

well if i post this in the ridely thread then I get a biased answer lol, I wanted to get the opinion of the whole

king; sorry I will turn the feature that makes you click on the thread off

Honestly, I do expect him. I'll be shocked if Ridley gets shafted a third time.

Why?

A. Metroid deserves more than one rep. It just does. Different versions of Samus are still just the same character, and Ridley is the most reoccurring character in the series and has historical ties to Samus, killing her parents and whatnot.

B. Sakurai's Pyrosphere quote. If Ridley was just meant to be a stage hazard, it wouldn't've been a been deal to just show him when the stage was unveiled. I think Saky was teasing us.

C. The new villain factor. In Smash Bros, thus far we have villains from Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Star Fox, and Pokemon (assuming Mewtwo returns). There aren't many prominent series left to draw villains from. Of the original 8 SSB64 characters, only Samus and DK don't have their antagonists (if you consider Yoshi shares Bowser.

So yeah. Bring on that purple space dragon already.

Well, maybe the roster prediction thread is a better place then. A single character's chances shouldn't require two seperate threads, Ridley isn't that big.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

The second premise is the predominant reason I still expect Ridley. I doubt he would allude to him if he wasn't playable, it wouldn't be deemed wise to hint at a stage hazard that most people in the West want playable.

I agree it would be kind of disrespectful esp since he makes sure people dont confuse AT as playable characters. I am just worried that He mainly cares about the jpn audience being jpn himself, ( the reveal dates usually pass up the eng release and get announced on the jpn date)

Didn't stop him from having the most threads of any character during pre Brawl

Oh, I know. That's exactly why we're trying to avoid it.

That wasn't his point, his point was that Ridley IS that big.

We want him to be scaled down, yo.

 

[papagenos]

he's 50/50 in my book, one of the more difficult characters from the "likely" characters for me to predict if sakurai will add or not.

lots going for him, but i just get the sense sakurai doesnt have him at high priority. it's really a matter of if sakurai does what the fans want or not and sadly sakurai often doesn't do what the fans want and instead he makes sakurai's "wacky random you couldn't guess it" roster of fighters... sigh, hopefully he's in though he'd be a really cool characters.

 

[Vintage Creep]

His chances are like 5% right now. Personally, I'm sure he will be a stage hazard in Pyrosphere.

This didn't warrant making a new thread.
