Ridley will be a boss, NOT a playable character!

[Florida]

It is very obvious that villains will be taking a major role in the Subspace Emissary. Most likely, each franchise represented will have a boss included somewhere in the story plot. Let's talk about the Metroid franchise; there's only one boss that would fit this position, and that's Ridley!

As most of you know, Petey Piranha was confirmed as a boss character, who will most certainly not be a playable character. Here at SWF, there are some "Petey PC" supporters that insist Petey will still be a playable character. Live with it people, any boss included into the SE won't be playable!

Talking more Ridley specific: he has his own fight music! I mean, what more do you people want?! Stop existing with false hope, and accept that Ridley will NOT be a playable character!






































Bull crap.

This thread is dedicated to all of the people out there who agree with the above statements.

First of all, just let me say one thing: I DO agree that Petey will stay as a boss. I mean, that's just a given...! Now, moving on:

Have you people realized all of the villains that are playable characters thus far? We have Bowser, Wario, (possibly) Metaknight, and even King Dedede! Now, if there's any character that'll become the Kirby boss representative, it's Dedede! And look, he's freakin' playable! We've also seen Wario and Bowser included in the Subspace Emissary (from E for All videos) as villains. What more do you people want?!

Just because a character is destined to become a Subspace Emissary boss, doesn't mean that they don't still have a chance of becoming playable character as well.

Ridley WILL be a boss.
But he'll also be a playable character.

Discuss.

P.S.
This thread is meant for bosses in general, not just Ridley specific.

Also, this is not a debate on whether or not Ridley will become playable; Ridley was just my example. All I'm trying to say, is that characters can be both a boss, and a playable character. M'kay?

"Ridley won't be a playable character, instead he'll be the Metroid boss representative for the Subspace Emisary."

 

[Zantetsu]

No playable character ridley pl0x.

 

[skullkidd]

This thread is going to become flame capitol of Smash Boards.
Ridley will be playable, yeah.
But when most people refer to bosses, they refer to bosses that won't be playable, like Petey.

 

[~N9NE~]

Ridley will be a sticker / boss / trophy / assist trophy / in the background / speck of dust / making pancakes.

He will be playable. The Bible says so. Couldn't this have gone in the Ridley thread?

 

[silver777]

there is always the ridley thread.

I like your avatar.

 

[Shadowbolt]

Ridley yes. Petey no.

 

[Mcpuff]

I think its obvious that Ridley would be a boss in SE, even if he is a playable character (which he will be, stop kidding yourselves people). It would be rediculous for him to fight alongside Samus, or any other heroes for that matter.

 

[Deleted member]

Depends if they pull him off right. He's on a knife edge here.

If Ridley still has that little spark that made me go "OMGWTFBBQ" in Metroid Prime, then yes. If not, then no.

 

[Limey]

I agree completely. The end of DK's Subspace video shows him meeting Bowser, and it's Bowser who's stolen his bananas. If there's not a fight there, i'll be surprised.

Ridley's got such a large fanbase, and Sakurai seems to be very intelligent with pleasing the fans with what characters he includes, that i can't see him not being playable.

EDIT - I also agree with McPuff. Whereas i can see Bowser and Wario (especially) fighting alongside Mario and the others (after all, Bowser has helped Mario defeat a greater evil before, and Wario's just greedy), as well as King Dedede, Ridley is too evil.

You never know though, the Subspace Army might be such a great threat that Ridley (if he's in) has to team up to defeat them.

 

[Oasis_S]

...I think Kraid would make a much better Metroid boss.

But yeah, Ridley is playable. Es obvio, no?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I think some enemy characters will be fought, but I doubt they will be Smash style Bosses if they are going to be Playable characters as well

 

[2007]

@ Oasis_S:
es cierto.
=2007=

 

[error_alt_delete]

ridley will be a unlockable boos, kinda like when you fight a character when it says "new challenger approaching".

 

[MFZ95]

Played Mortal Kombat 7? You can unlock the boss,maybe Petey,Ridley or Metal Sonic are gonna be unlockble once beaten in Suspace

 

[vesperview]

What a stupid thread, there are a lot of boss choices from Metroid like Kraid or Mother Brain, plus the bosses probably won't be important characters to the franchise, just look who the first boss is and this thread won't go beyond people standing up for Ridley, don't be stupid.

 

[Al Calnos]

Ridley will be a sticker / boss / trophy / assist trophy / in the background / speck of dust / making pancakes.

Because you just haven't lived until you've tried Uncle Ridley's Homemade Metroid-shaped Pancakes!

 

[brawlpro]

I never really saw how ridley could actually be a playable character, really?

 

[Oasis_S]

I never really saw how ridley could actually be a playable character, really?

Same way Mario, Link, Pikachu, or Kirby could be?

 

[brawlpro]

Mario and Link are a must for smash if you think about it.

 

[WuTangDude]

Lol @ the TS's theory being debunked so long ago nobody is even bothering to mention due to the fact that it's common knowledge. Check the Ridley thread's first post.

 

[Pyroloserkid]

Sorry iGrunt, but I don't see why this is necessary. Your views are just another opinion, and really there's no proof of any of this yet. Yes, some people will agree and disagree with what you have said, but if I was a Ridley Supporter, this would make me change my mind none. It's not convincing, it's nothing new, and I personally don't know what you're trying to do here.

Were you having a bad day and just wanted to release stress and anger some way or something?

Sorry if I came off as harsh buddy, but I just really don't like this thread =P .

 

[Zantetsu]

Exactly. I don't want him playable mainly just to piss fanboys off =D

The argument, "Ridley," (or any other boss that has PC chances) "won't become a PC because he'll be a boss in SE" is pointless. Stop using it. 'tis the point of this rant.

Yayayay I like you.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Bowser is a villain, and yet he's playable. I'm pretty sure that Ridley will be a fighter too.

 

[brawlpro]

O yeah, he would be another charizard except bigger, he's like twice the size of samus.

 

[vesperview]

O yeah, he would be another charizard except bigger, he's like twice the size of samus.

Ridley was almost Samus's size in the original Metroid, and Bowser is resized too in Smash what are you talking about?

 

[brawlpro]

He wasn't almost Samus's size in the original?!?!

Bowser was resized in many games...

 

[Caael]

SHIT GUYS

 

[Red_Maniac]

Ridley not playable?

He's the only good choice for a Metroid villain.

 

[Blackadder]

You ah, you didn't read the whole thread starter did you?
Like...at all?

At the end of all his ranting, Egruntz states that he feels Ridley will be both a boss and a PC, before anyone yacks on like that guy did.

Though granted, the title is misleading.

Anyways, I pretty much agree with what you say Egruntz. Good stuff.

 

[Drik Khaail]

Who knows? sure as hell not anyone on the smashboards, but, everyone's entitled to their opinion...

 

[brawlpro]

Ridley was almost Samus's size in the original Metroid, and Bowser is resized too in Smash what are you talking about?

Like, I can't really see samus being almost as big as this thing

 

[Tony_]

This thread reduces IQs due to idiocy and should be closed.

On another note, he will be playable, unless you want a Samus clone named Dark Samus who is mainly american made. Ridley is the only option for a villain.

 

[brawlpro]

Do you know who Shadow is >_>

 

[vesperview]

Like, I can't really see samus being almost as big as this thing

Nuff said.

 

[Caael]

Like I can't really see samus being almost as big as this thing

Snip

That is Meta Ridley. The Brawl model for Samus is Zero Mission. Now take a look at Ridley compared to Samus in Zero Mission:

He's maybe double her size? And that's nothing. Kirby is half Dedede's size. Mario is just over half bowsers size. It's stupid for anybody to think a character cannot make the Brawl roster just because they're big.

Its not stupid because they can be too cheap, bowser being the biggest had the speed reducage so he was evened up, but ridley is bigger than bowser and skinnier so he definitely seems like he has speed and power, he got them wings so his jumps will be quite nice too...

Btw the size, being as big as he is, he can really fit the boss description well because maybe he will be flying around at his size the whole time.

 

[Xengri]

LOl Ridley fanboys...

Cause you know, this couldn't have been put in Ridley's thread instead. Not like this is important information, anyone with half a brain could see that a character can be a boss and PC (DK movie..).

And how is Ridley a "shoe-in"? Why does there have to be a metriod villain again? That's like saying Pokey (Mother), Daein (FE: PoR) and Medusa (Kid Icarus) are in cause they are the perfect villain for their games.

Not like I hate Ridley (more the merrier), but the "I think he's so L33t so he must be already in" attitude of his fans is really annoying.

Smash Bros isn't supposed to replicate the games exactly. I could have sworn that Petey was tiny compared to Bowser in Sunshine. I dont remember sheik having a chain in OoT. Smash is about taking the good bits out of games and piecing together a new game with them, not taking out massive chunks of the games and then making a game out of them.

Mewtwo was fast, strong and had a good recovery- look what happened to him.

Of course Ridley should be a boss, he always has been. But he should be playable as well.

 

[brawlpro]

FAIL, he was slow -_-
Strong? Well, maybe the grabs.
Oh and his defense sucked.

Of course Ridley should be a boss, he always has been. But he should be playable as well.

Why would we have a boss playable, then when you fight ridley you could use ridley to beat him <_<;;

Boss's are supposed to be hard, if they reach human above average skill, they would be unstoppable.
