Yeah, Charizard isn't like Ridley. Now I'll predict what will happen in August 20th's pic of the day.
Either Ridley is shown as a stage hazard, a new stage, information or filler.

I bet the jerk is going to give us another filler picture. Or tease him yet again. Sakurai is a harsh mistress...

August 20?

Pyrosphere anniversary.

 

[FlappyFalco]

The way the shadow moves can't be a boss.

I think the opposite. Nobody can stay in the air that long without changing altitude, bobbing up and down slightly (Metaknight, Kirbeh, Wigglytuff) or performing an attack (Ike, Fox & Co.) And then there's it's size...

 

[RamOne]

Pyrosphere anniversary.

Holy Ridley, has it been a year already?

 

[Vintage Creep]

Can I just ask you guys one question.. Other than fan demand, what does Ridley have going for him?

Have you played any Metroid game featuring Ridley?

 

[BaganSmashBros]

I think the opposite. Nobody can stay in the air that long without changing altitude, bobbing up and down slightly (Metaknight, Kirbeh, Wigglytuff) or performing an attack (Ike, Fox & Co.) And then there's it's size...

He doesn't attacks (no, that is not Pikachu, he didn't grabbed him since he ran away before Ridley could even come close to him), his animations are not smooth/fluid/detailed/whatever like in Brawl and he actually is not that big (it is just his wings and Pikachu is not that big).

 

[WayfaringElf]

Every newcomer has a new mechanic. Megaman has the mega buster which he can run with, Rosalina has the puppet luma, and Little Mac has the star punch meter. I think Ridley's air time would be his new mechanic.

Most likely, but I think he's going to give more information because the 3DS version is releasing soon...by that, I mean a 3DS PotD. However, it could be a Wii U pic of the day.

We thought it might be a new flight mechanic unique to Ridley. Akin to Peach's ability to hover about, but longer-lasting.

Also, if that shadow is any indication, that Ridley boss is not going to be very representative of the actual bossfights what with how slow he is and how little he attacks in the trailer (which he did all the time as a boss in the series).

Every newcomer has a new mechanic. Megaman has the mega buster which he can run with, Rosalina has the puppet luma, and Little Mac has the star punch meter. I think Ridley's air time would be his new mechanic.

Not all I guess? Greninja doesn't have anything going for him in terms of gimmicks, neither does the Villager. Palutena and the Mii's have a gimmick, so does Robin. Lucina is a clone and that isn't really a gimmick worth talking about.

Good song. 11/10

 

[DustyPumpkin]

...Who?

I noticed something weird since i started to support Ridley - once someone starts to talk about Ridley, THAT happens and ends only after few pages. Happened to me on DeviantArt, Youtube, Mugen Guild forum and another forum you most likely never heard of.

ಠ__ಠ
Also I'm guessing it's because Ridley has been very literally talked to Death

People will think he's playable
Some are on the fence
and Chumps still think he's gonna be a boss
and all everyone can do is wait because nobody's officially right until there's actually news related to him

 

[Nielicus]

Have you played any Metroid game featuring Ridley?

I meant as far as acknowledge meant from Sakurai, and stuff like that. Not just what POTENTIAL he has

 

[WayfaringElf]

Teasings.

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

I will say what i've been saying all along.

I think there is a 100% chance of there being a Ridley boss.

However, it is entirely possible for there to be more then one Ridley seeing how other m ridley is an entirely different space dragon. Whether or not Sakurai agrees is a different story.

 

[Vintage Creep]

I meant as far as acknowledge meant from Sakurai, and stuff like that. Not just what POTENTIAL he has

The question still stands.

 

[BaganSmashBros]

I meant as far as acknowledge meant from Sakurai, and stuff like that. Not just what POTENTIAL he has

Teased as something. Most likely not a boss since it would be illogical to tease something that isn't new or even close to that.
But same can be said for over 90% of possible newcommers. They just have the potential. Except for maybe K.Rool.

 

[praline]

I agree that she won't be a fox clone.


but she might be. AN ALT COSTUME

That would make me hella uncomfortable.

 

[SmilingMad]

I meant as far as acknowledge meant from Sakurai, and stuff like that. Not just what POTENTIAL he has

Just that he has been shown, and the stuff that has been shown of him isn't really boss material by any stretch of the imagination. Also, Sakurai does not like fake hype and has gone out of his way to explicitly deconfirm characters. For most this happened in the PotD, but for Sable it was on twitter, and for Chrom it was publicly announced or something? He was deconfirmed, and that matters. Yet this Ridley boss is stirring up all this fake hype, and Sakurai hasn't shown anything about him. Which is suspicious to say the least.

 

[DarkFalcon]

At the end of the day not matter how much I believe he will be playable (like others believe he won't), we are at the mercy of Sakurai. We can only wait...

Ha ha. Mercy. Sakurai. Good one.
god help us all

 

[Soul.]

Well, uh, the moment the full roster is leaked, and if (yes, if) Ridley is not in the game, what would be your reactions?

 

[Sehnsucht]

There should be a Berserk Eclipse stage on the Wii U version.

I don't like it when a tweet or whatever leads to needless speculation getting spread around,

I took this literally as "I don't like it when my messages unrelated to smash, lead back to smash"

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

I would thank Sakurai.

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

I'll be in my bunker.

I wouldn't be surprised, but it will be disappointing.

 

[WayfaringElf]

Well, uh, the moment the full roster is leaked, and if (yes, if) Ridley is not in the game, what would be your reactions?

I would just shrug it off. But I doubt that they're keeping characters secret. Sakurai didn't like how the sse cutscenes went to the Internet and I'm sure he doesn't like to be outdone by a potato.

 

[SmilingMad]

Well, uh, the moment the full roster is leaked, and if (yes, if) Ridley is not in the game, what would be your reactions?

I would be fairly displeased, but considering my hype is at an all-time low I can't really judge this.

I took this literally as "I don't like it when my messages unrelated to smash, lead back to smash"

Yeah. But it comes down to the fact that he dislikes false hype surrounding the game. Showing us Ridley like that while being incredibly vague about its role yet very well aware about the fanbase, and still not wanting false hype, is shooting yourself in the foot UNLESS the hype isn't actually false.

 

[allison]

Hyping up Ridley even though he's a stage hazard would be, without a doubt, the stupidest thing Sakurai has ever done. If he knows what he's doing, Ridley is playable.

 

[DarkFalcon]

Well, uh, the moment the full roster is leaked, and if (yes, if) Ridley is not in the game, what would be your reactions?

I can live without Ridley if Mewtwo is in. If neither are in I'd be disappointed, but it won't stop me from buying and enjoying the game.

 

[TewnLeenk]

Well, uh, the moment the full roster is leaked, and if (yes, if) Ridley is not in the game, what would be your reactions?

I'd be kind of bummed at first. He's my most wanted newcomer. I'd forget all about it as soon as I popped the game into my Wii U though. NEW SMASH BROS YEAH

 

[FlareHabanero]

Well, uh, the moment the full roster is leaked, and if (yes, if) Ridley is not in the game, what would be your reactions?

I'd call people stupid for not seeing it ahead of time, but at the same time I'd be curious as to the reasoning as to why Ridley was excluded again.

 

[BaganSmashBros]

Well, uh, the moment the full roster is leaked, and if (yes, if) Ridley is not in the game, what would be your reactions?

"Oh well, i still have Project M, so...i would at least have Ridley instead of Charizard..." Then learn how to do make model hacks for Brawl, remake Charizard's animations to fit Ridley, then, after finishing that, i will wait until i will be able to buy 3DS and SSB4 for 3DS. No loud FFFFFFRUSTRATION screams and comments like "F*** YOU, SAKURAI AND NINTENDO, YOU INSTEAD CHOSE *instert name of a random character*! PRE-ORDER F***ING CANCELED!" There is no need to be so mad about that unless Sylux, Anthony or Adam will be chosen before Ridley. THEN there will be reason to be so mad about it.

Same should be for every other character that doesn't gets in instead of those rage comments. Well, maybe except for the last part (be mad if someone who doesn't deserves to get in will get in before your wanted newcommer). Those comments won't help you no matter how much you will try.

 

[Saito]

He could be teasing everyone.

Or not and he could just be building up to the reveal

the only thing we know for sure is that ridley is going to be in the game in one form or another.

Meanwhile, in the Smash Wii U forum...

The entire community in a nutshell.

It would be dissapointing news for the Ridley supporters.

 

[Imber]

Even if Ridley is playable Metroid is still a dead franchise. Face it Metroid fans, Nintendo hates you.

 

[WayfaringElf]

 

[TheFirstPoppyBro]

I'd shrug it off because like I said before, though I'd like Ridley, I don't really mind either way.

 

[DarkFalcon]

We can all agree that the moment Ridely is confirmed/deconfirmed that the board will crash and the entire internet will explode.

 

[SmilingMad]

Even if Ridley is playable Metroid is still a dead franchise. Face it Metroid fans, Nintendo hates you.

They did say they were considering new games, so Metroid hasn't left the building yet.
