And wow, good to see you two still going Strong, Oasis. Sometimes wondered how y'all were doing since I started coming back here again.
Have you completely missed all of my Shameless and unyielding sexual indiscretion posts where I refer to "my lady."

Well. I guess that does still leave it ambiguous. WHATEVER thank you. When we reminisce about the WoR days she often tells me I should apologize to you and be nicer.

Speaking of speculation, why does the gamefaqs Smash wii-u board have an insane amount of trolls, even by Gamefaqs standards?
Because GameFAQs' Smash community is a bunch of casual fruits who don't know the difference between yams and a freaking nuclear missile.

Didn't miss all of them per se, but probably a lot. Figured now would be a better time to bring it up/complement it than some of those times before though, just because of how awesome those two pictures look together!

' welcome. Heh, appreciate her saying that, though not sure I deserve it, with how annoying and stupid I know I must have been to both of you and others during the MSN days. With how much I've changed now (or feel I have at least), words can't express how sorry I am for everyone that had to put up with me during the time of MSN. Oh gawd... I was just a constant attention-seeking no-lifer. Made Sparn and everyone hate me after awhile. Do miss MSN though the more I use Skype.

Ridley will be just a weak, pathetic clone of Bowser and Charizard.

----
You forgot to put your Flame Shield up. :p

Hmm. I've been reading around a bit; Sakurai's only mention of Ridley was that he thinks he might be too slow. That's... literally it.

Meaning Sakurai doesn't really show any issues adding him in. On the other hand, maybe he might not be in. Who knows?

I think it could go either way.

Good ****ing lord the post reply on this site is ****ing garbage. >_>
Well at least I can relate with someone

One thing that GameRankings has over Smashboards : Post reply. Undeniably. Problem is if you're not gonna reply to begin with which is likely the case.

With there being three firebreathers (Bowser, Charizard, Ridley) like there are three space animals with blasters, I see Ridley being the "Wolf" of the firebreather group if he's added, worse case scenario (assuming he'll really be a gameplay clone of the other two to a degree). Now how good or bad Ridley would be tier-wise is a completely different can of worms... Only the tourney tools will care about that though, while everyone else will be just happy enough that he got added to the roster.

Hey, whoa, no worries.

They were good times.
Heh. Well if my past sins aren't something you still hold against me or anything, then I guess that's fair. :p

Eeyup.

Albeit, his Fireballs could be mult-shot instead. Where he fires one, than another. Kind of like Mario's in a sense. Say, up to 5? But they major cooldown. His Up B could be flight, and I could see him with the regular gliding. Should he be bipedal or float like Mewtwo? Both make sense, since he can walk on two legs in some games. And him floating since he is known for flying works too.

I wish we didn't think that way. Now, we usually end up assuming that Sakurai's teasing (Which is a possibility. A good or at least not so good one) instead of thinking he's gonna be in. The end. I love you saw-kew-ray

@John: Well I'm fine with that (Respect bro). Just don't caps again to Hyper lol. You might attract Fal. At this point, I don't think Toad's all that likely but then, I'd still love it if he gets in the game. I'm not counting him out and I'll do what Habanero told me to avoid doing ------ Even though it's bad for mah health. I've been through worse already IRL and a favorite character not getting in the game is totally negligible compared to whatever I have to deal with. No, it's got nothing to do with social life. More on um, making bad mistakes in academics.

I don't see Ridley as a firebreather like Bowser or Charizard? He didn't breathe fire until Prime 3. Shooting fireballs is much better for him.

Aw man. No pictures of edited pics of ***** on fire. Ah well. Congrats on being the second pictures to pop up Mario when you search fire ball

Guess I should've differentiated between firebreather and fireball user when I brought that up, as I was just kinda putting them in the same category, generally speaking. But yeah, fireballs would be better for him, especially if it's few or multiple at a time like in Super Metroid (would be a cooldown for it of course so you can't spam that many at once). But since they're most likely gonna use Other M Ridley anyway who did the firebreathing thing like Omega Ridley in Prime 3...

No biggie, Ridley_Prime. Sometimes we word things wrong. Happens.

I know, trust me, lordy, I know...

On another note, I'm looking back at an SSB-related website I made. Oh, my god, the typos and cheesiness... :facepalm:

Well, I would imagine Meta/Ridley's appearance in Brawl would be a good base to start with, rather than Other M Ridley. Even if that's where he pulls a design from, the two boss battles should give an indication on how Sakurai thinks Ridley would fight. I GUESS? So, the move that most closely matches what I would give Ridley is Meta-Ridley's multiple fireball attack... I guess if you hold it he could fire the big one.

Pretty sure that's Donkey Kong in the middle picture, when looking at that red thing that looks like his tie. I'm only disappointed mainly because we've had 2 photos of Link, TL, and DK in the picture in a row.

And when's the last time Pit and Pika had been in a daily Photo? September 6th? Granted, the last we saw Megaman in a daily was September 5th, but he had more attention at the beginning already. It's not that I'm being ungrateful; it's just I like variety. Take example: New moves, new character expressions, and new character changes... heck, I'd like to see different lovely close-ups of each character so we can be dazzled by each characters' details. And as of now, I feel that it's Pika that needs the most attention since I think he's getting the least attention now...

...Then again, we might be seeing a lot more of Pika and Pokemon in general in October.

Bowser is the character which have been shown the least in the daily pictures, having been shown a total number of 3 times only, once a month from July and on. Poor guy needs more attention.

Maybe they're saving him up for showing Bowser Jr. next to him. :awesome:

Joking aside, it's odd. Maybe Sakurai is working more on other characters at the moment?(or the development team is doing so in general)

Jeez, I didn't realize that. Bowser needs the most attention now. ;-; Well, at least he has new moves and moves different, but we can agree that he needs more love too.

Maybe the characters aren't show more often due to still being incomplete somehow? After all, this IS a game in development, right?

Nintedo Direct tomorrow. Do you think expecting a surprize reveal like we got in August would be too hopeful? Either way, with the inevitable Pokemon reveal next Friday, it wouldn't be too big of a disappointment if there wasn't.

That early? Yeish. Well, Sakurai isn't doing any pattern with reveals beyond "reveal a character exactly on the release date of one of their newest(that is, when they are released, not literally new) games" so far. It could change, though.

That'd be weird if one week had two reveals... I think he'll wait till Friday. Just to not overwhelm people. On the other hand, he could reveal Ice Climbers, since they don't have any games coming out, if he made them work, anyway.

So remind me. A Nintendo Direct every 2 months, correct? What I want to see is a bit more gameplay, sort of like a 2nd trailer that shows off the characters and stages (and the X-bomb) that we got now. I just hope it won't be just Pokemon-related stuff that will be new though.

Happy Birthday to Oddyesy!

I shall bury your corpse in a tomb if that becomes the case.

Because we honestly don't know if they're coming back. Things look good since he got Olimar working, though.
Yeah, honestly, I think that the AI for ICs would be a bit harder cause you kinda control Nana (or is it Popo?). All the Pikmin just follow you unless you throw them, so.... Also, I want my corpse to rot.

You control Nana via desynch

Noted.

Actually, he said that the Models themselves were the issues. The 3DS can't handle as much on the screen at once. The A.I. was unmentioned in the interview. In fact, he said, paraphrased; "We're having trouble with multi-characters like the Ice Climbers due to the models onscreen." I'll have to double check the words, but still, A.I. wasn't mentioned regardless.

I don't think it had much to do with it at all, or at least, not that we know of, respectively.

Ah. I just assumed AI. I wouldn't think that models were a problem.

Well, he said models. It's due to, as noted, the 3DS limitations. Having too much onscreen on a small handheld is not easy.

This could be why he hasn't shown Olimar's Pikmin at more than 3 at once. We really don't know much about how it's causing him issues, though. I think they will return, but until they're revealed, I'm just keeping my hopes up. It ain't 100% till Sakurai says so. I got a very good feeling, but hey, that ain't a real confirmation at all.

Ice Climbers are pretty cool but I wouldn't mind getting new retro characters even if they don't return in SSB4.

I'm not expecting much from tomorrow. I do however, expect to see a Pokemon Direct with a potential character reveal.

EDIT: Happy B-day Oddyesy!
