Ridley Victory

[Imadethistoseealeak]

So being extremely excited for Ridley I was hoping to see him win a match. Yet throughout the tournament and tree house I haven't seen a single Ridley victory (in fact I don't think I saw him played all day today). Is there footage of a Ridley victory? I wanna see victory animations and try to hear if he has a different victory tune. Plus he deserves to win a match lol.

If anyone here actually played the game, do any of you have a first hand experience with a Ridley victory?

Edit: I found one! (Language, sorry can't censor)

BUT you can't hear any sound from the game and thus can't hear a theme. Unfortunately that will probably be with most footage so I'll have to hope Ridley wins in treehouse tomorrow.

Looks cool but it seems weirdly short though, regardless I like the pose lol. I really hope he gets a unique theme, not giving him his own theme and having him use samus' would be mad disappointing

The current Metroid theme is wayyyy to calm for him. I mean if Bowser gets a different theme then Ridley really should. (Ganondorf makes sense because there is still a regal air to him).

I'm wondering though if it would even be in the demo or if it would still be to early. Maybe we can get a confirmation via the daily smash blog thing.

I seen 2 victory animations for ridley so far

First is the one you posted where he lands and then pose.

The second one appears on this video on 4:04

https://youtu.be/jrngO71qUkY?t=244

He's on his back, tearing something (or someone) apart, and then looks at the camera. My favorite so far by how brutal it is.

Still didn't find the third victory pose yet, i wonder how that one is.

 

[TheSqushiestManatee]

These victory poses are amazing so far.

 

[StormC]

Yeah... there's no way he has Samus' victory theme with animations like these. Maybe the opening notes of his battle theme?

Looks like he is scavenging a body like a zombie who lost its mind at first. I like it.

As for his victory theme, either a tidbit of his own iconic theme or a darker take on Samoos' theme. I prefer the former, of course.

 

[Zem-raj]

If Ridley get's the same victory theme as Samus, I think it would be more of a rock/metal version to it, like Metroid Metal's take:

Otherwise, if he gets his own individual victory theme, then it'll be a shortened version of his iconic Vs Ridley theme.

I said it in the main Ridley thread, but it reminds me of the scene in Other M when Samus catches Furby Ridley scavenging King Kihunter's remains.

That ones amazing hahaha! Yea no way the calm Meteoid item tune...

A remix would be cool but I'd perfer something like Dark Pit where he has a different theme altogether, a part of the Vs. Ridley theme makes sense.

 

[Banjodorf]

I'd be shocked if it isn't the first few notes of his Vs. theme, maybe part of the remix we heard, or a different one entirely, weren't his victory theme. It's basically perfect for it.

Dark Pit and Rosalina are the ones with unique victory themes so far right? Not counting the remixes for Bowser/Bowser Jr. and Meta Knight.

Still don't understand why Dr. Mario doesn't have one.

If you listen VERY closely to the GimR video you can hear guitar riffs which are almost certainly in rhythm with Ridley's theme on the victory theme

really? i haven't heard that but i'll listen more closely. i love how the devs put time and effort into ridley (:

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

No, I heard it too. It's just REALLY hard to hear and you don't hear much of it

 

[vVv Rapture]

I figure it's just a rock anthem of Samus' victory theme just like Metaknight has the rock version of Kirby's theme. Ridley/Meta Ridley Theme isn't really a Victory Theme despite being an amazing track.

I'm pretty sure I hear "Doo, doo, doodoo, doo, doo, doodoo doooooooo". Only with guitars and the last one being a rif

In one of the two videos posted? How do you hear that ?! Lol I've decided I just gotta wait till we get confirmation from Sakurai, or if local demos become a thing.

You can clearly hear Xander yell "GAME!" so you need to focus on what you can hear at that volume and you can hear the guitar

 

[StormC]

Can I just say I'm glad Xander is back?

Also, someone in the Ridley social posted a .GIF of one of Ridley's victories (when he's clawing the ground). Anybody got that?

Go to the 17 minute mark of this video. https://youtu.be/KDmL6qWYvUc
Ridley definitely has a victory theme of his own! It's not the best sound quality, but this is the best we could hear of it so far.

That's also the 3rd victory animation. Nice!
So now we got:
-Victory animation 1:Ridley rips apart an unknown object/person before turning his head to the screen with a sort of "slasher smile"
-Victory animation 2: Ridley flies down and sticks a hard landing from a diagonal direction
-Victory animation 3(shown in the vid above): Ridley summersaults in midair while letting out a roar of victory

Hmmmm I can't tell if it's the music in the area or not but I'm not sure if that's just a guitar version of Samus's victory theme. Can someone with better ears confirm XD

It is a remix version of Samus's victory theme (you can hear it at the end of this video (direct feed)

Very nice! Was hoping for a sample from his own theme but this is almost like, a horrific remix (like scary, not bad).

 

[IsmaR]

This is essentially all I wanted for all villains after Bowser's in Smash 4.

Not gonna lie that's a little disappointing, if dark pit of all people can get his own theme I feel like Ridley's theme was kind of a given for his victory theme, guess not lol

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I still can't hear it in that one, but I could have sworn I heard a part of his theme

 

[StormC]

Even if it's a remix of the item theme it's sounding pretty sinister, I like it.

 

[greenluigiman2]

You can hear it clearly in this video. Sounds like Samus' victory theme in minor.

[Dhragen]

Here are gifs of two of the victory poses.

 

[UltimateWario]

kek with the low FPS on that gif, the first victory pose looks like Ridley just spiraling out of control for a second

Can you imagine going back in time and leaking these? People would be losing their minds.

Oh my gosh thank you for this! I was worried there wouldn't be a direct feed victory.

It sounds a lot closer than what I imagined. Not sure if I'm a huge fan, but soooo glad it's not the same.

The third one probably doesn't mean anything, but the first could be a reference to OtherM (with LittleBirdie eating the Queen Kihunter) and the second to his boss battle in ZeroMission (when he appears at the start, which is also referenced in his intro animation).

I'm not sure if the victory animations refer to anything specific. They're too vague/general or otherwise unlike what he's done in previous games.

I originally liked the one where he's tearing something up, but in a team match where it's more zoomed out it looks realllllly dumb because there's nothing there lol. Still fun, but definitely my least favorite of the three.

LOL that's actually funny, yeah I forgot that now the other team members also do their victory animations in the background instead of just standing there. Maybe he's picking his teeth or coughing something up instead.

Ok so this is the clearest audio I've heard on a Ridley victory. It's basically at the 12 minute mark but you'll wanna get a few seconds before.

It honestly doesn't sound at all like a remix of the item theme. It's really bizzare, does anyone know what it's from? It could be the item theme I suppose but I don't recognize it. Really unsure why they didn't just go with the vs Ridley theme lol.

Wait wait wait, the last part of the theme, it sounds like a remix of the unknown item acquisition theme from Zero Mission. Not sure why they went with that, but cool reference.

After listening several times and then your revelation, it does sound like a remix of the item theme that then turns into the unknown item theme...really neat way to contrast his actually! I like it better now lol

 

[Eldrake]

Sakurai presumably wanted a generalized Metroid villain fanfare incase he decided to add another Metroid villain. Would make sense if Dark Samus is coming as an Echo Fighter.
