that omega Ridley pic is so bad that i want to draw it. =D

 

[Dave the Perspicacious]

Ridley - Standard Ridley.

Mecha-Ridley - A robot made in the image of Ridley, who served as the final boss in Metroid: Zero Misson.

Meta-Ridley - A Ridley that was recovered and who's body was improved/fixed with the addition of cybernetics, armor, missiles and a kinetic breath weapon. Second last boss in Metroid Prime.

Omega-Ridley - The incarnation of Ridley seen in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. This is Meta-Ridley after he fell into and was exposed to massive amounts of Phazon, changing his image largely and most likely adding more abilities which I know nothing of (no one spoil it for me!)

[silver777]

i just draw a sketch !! i can't do a complete drawing.... he is way too detailed for me D=

i am fine if he looked like that in brawl!!

 

[OnyxVulpine]

So, ya guys gonna flame Sariku for saying pretty much what I said about Dark Samus a while back?

His Ridley part seemed to be pretty alright though.

Omega Ridley looks pretty cool, the picture could be better though... Hes blue now? *rolls eyes*

-Onyx

 

[Dave the Perspicacious]

Sketches are awesome, especially if they are done well. That is done very well :bigthumbu

I forgot about the podcast - thanks for reminding me

Dave

 

[Shuma]

Awesome Silver, now he only needs to be green.

 

[lanky_gunner]

that picture reminds me of the dragons in Path of Radiance. he looks just like one of them. you are an excellent artist silver

Hey guys. I've mostly just been reading replies to topics in the last couple weeks of updates, and have only commented here or there. By the way, this topic should be subtitled "Version 2.x", NOT "Version 1.x". It is the second one after all...

are you pointing this to me? every one who wanted to be in I added them by their request.

Grim didn't request anything.

Just make me the red-shirted guy since he's unclaimed.

Zomg its grim?!

Well everyone hands in, tomorrows update is the moment of truth right? Well.. either that or later :D

Everyone concentrate hard and we'll try to channel our thoughts into Sakurai to make him put up Ridley... Or maybe he'll just be hearing a lot of english that he can't understand.

-Onyx

 

[Dave the Perspicacious]

I'm rather confident about Ridley making an appearance soon, the only thing that is making me hesitant, is the fact that we still haven't seen Capton Falcon or Ness/Lucas, provided they are in, which they most likely are.

Still I think, in light of all the arguments and tension surrounding the debate of whether Ridley will make it or not, it would come as a great relief to all of us if he got confirmed soon.

Thanks =D i played the three Fire Emblem games on GBA only.(yes, i have Roy's game and the patch) and completed them, pretty awesome stuff. never played POR though.

Just make me the red-shirted guy since he's unclaimed.

kinda late, i already made him for O D I N. sorry dude D=

i'll go to sleep and wake up for the update!! oh i can't wait!!

 

[Gypsy Lee]

Grim comeback. It sucks here without you and the others.

 

[JesterBox]

Ridley can't be a boss because he wouldn't look good on a purple background. Now a blue background looks nice. Ridley confirmed.

 

[Anomilus]

Just thinking, but I don't think Ridley's importance is a real factor when it comes to the possibility of him being boss-only. If a boss-only character is to have little relation to their correlating game, then why would the strength of their role matter?


Just a thought....which leads to another one.

I never played Kid Icarus, but how big would one consider Palutena's role to be? She's a goddess who basically gives Pit his abilities, I believe. Maaaaybe her role can be compared to...Zelda? She's not a damsel in distress like Peach, and while Zelda has also played the "rescue me" role, we all know Zelda does have some power of her own. But in the end, Zelda is playable, and currently Palutena is merely a weapon in Pit's arsenal (a powerful one, but a weapon nonetheless).

So...can we really say role matters? Is it a viable argument? I would think Ridley's strength of role is greater than Palutena, and definitely Petey....but if boss-only characters are treated like I believe they will be treated, will role strength matter?

No, Ridley is almost as important to the series as Samus is. He's the catalyst for the entire story. He's the one who killed Samus' parents (making her want to avenge them and becoming a Hunter for the federation). If he would have never led the raid on that planet, then the Chozo would have never taken Samus with them, and she would have never become who she is. He's the one who stole the Metroid larva and lead Samus to Zebes in Super Metroid. He's the one who led Samus to Tallon IV, and kicked off the entire Prime sub series. And God knows what he's going to do in Corruption. Bottom line, he's important as a boss could possibly be, and he's not even the one causing the mischief in the games like Ganondorf or Bowser.

 

[Phaazoid]

Hey grim, its been a while. I'll have to listen to the podcast. and awesome drawing silver! your ridley FTW!! and FTB! but i have to doubt that ridley will be the update. i think that sakurai will tell us once he's given us all the starter characters, and then start giving us hidden characters. which means C-Falcon and Ness and the IC still have to be confirmed. and maybe krystal, if she's a starter. but i hope ridley is the first secrete character they confirm!

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

Too late for first secret character since Snake has been confirmed to be a secret character. Ridley does cause mischief since he was the one to steal the Metroid larva and killed Samus's parents >_>.

 

[RDK]

Holy crap, it's Grim! Quick--the tranquilizer, Gypsy!

And nice drawing BTW, Silver.

 

[Shuma]

Grim, you're back! Welcome to the Brotherhood of Nod Ridley.

Actually since it's the "new Ridley thead" it should be version 1. If it were version 2, that would suggest that it's the 2nd new Ridley thread.

 

[lanky_gunner]

grim! how ya been buddy! glad you came around here

ridley for brawl

One: I know all of that. No need to read off Ridley's history to me (and your fervency in stating this information won't make your point any stronger.)

Two: Look at my point regarding Palutena. She provides Pit with the abilities to take down evil. Without her Pit wouldn't be able to do much of anything. That also makes her a catalyst of sorts. As of this moment though she's in the SSE adventure, and she serves as Pit's Final Smash.

Can you really say, simply based off of how important Ridley is, that Sakurai wouldn't give him the treatment we all believe he deserves? Currently I'm not completely sure. Maybe it's me being careful or keeping my logic and rationality in checks or something.

You have to take other factors into account. Sakurai said he wanted more Metroid characters. That is why Ridley's importance to the series matters. Because of his importance, he would be second in line of Metroid characters, next to Samus, to become playable.

Or did I miss your point.

 

[RyuDragonKing]

Restating the facts for those deluded Ridley-haters:
1) Ridley is the second most requested character for Brawl, as were Ike and Diddy.
2) Sakurai has stated that he's implementing more Metroid characters. Why would he replace Ridley with Dark Samus?
3) Sakurai wants more winged and flying chars.
4) RIDLEYS FREAKING AWESOME.

Just putting that there so there's a reminder to Ridley-haters to STAY THE FREAK AWAY.

 

[the grim lizard]

kinda late, i already made him for O D I N. sorry dude D=

OK, just make me Ridley then.

Grim comeback. It sucks here without you and the others.

Actually, I think I prefer this way better. I feel legendary.

Do you have a souce for number 2? I'm not a Ridley hater or anything, actually a big supporter, but I've never heard anything abou that.

 

[the grim lizard]

OK, so I do have to say this: Who all is getting Prime 3 tomorrow? I'm afraid to because it's kind of early in the semester to ruin my life already...

 

[Stryks]

Tomorrow? doesnt it come out on tuesday?? anyway Im getting it, already have all the primes including hunters (not pinball tough, but its just a pinball version of mp1 anyway...) and im so getting the last installment...

 

[Anomilus]

I believe the shipping date is tomorrow. I'm defintely getting it though. Darn stores better have it come Tuesday.

 

[Oasis_S]

I'm impressed with Metroid Prime 3... but I didn't enjoy the first one very much, (I probably should have played more of it... but I just could not get into it) so I think I'll wait and rent it first.

 

[RyuDragonKing]

There's an old thread with that information around here somewhere... It's in my favorites on my computer, but I'm on my girlfriend's right now... I'll look for it though.

 

[OnyxVulpine]

Diddy thread is beating Krystal thread T^T

Ridley is going to look sweet, every other character looks good so far. I think that the developers will grab some features from different version and make him a cool hybrid if not the original..

I do like some aspects of the other Ridleys, but he has to be purple :D

Edit:

....Suck it Onyx.

T^T Wonder what that was for..

-Onyx

 

[RDK]

T^T Wonder what that was for..

-Onyx

He's just being funny. He didn't really mean it.

And the only reason the Diddy thread is beating the Krystal thread is because of that troll, Lightlink. But again--posts are posts, even if they are by a ridiculous 4channer.

Wolf + Krystal 4 Brawl

 

[OnyxVulpine]

And, they got their wanted character.. So they were being all happy and getting posts from other people in it..

This thread will skyrocket when Ridley is released.. man. Internet will = broke

-Onyx

 

[Gypsy Lee]

Does eyeZ win teh internets?

 

[OnyxVulpine]

His flying ones could be a little more smoother and longer. Like the first one could fly across the whole thing. And the incoming one would be out longer.

-Onyx

 

[lanky_gunner]

cool. yeah i agree with onyx. he needs to fly across the whole thing instead of half way through. maybe make the gif the same time length, but make the stills shorter and the flying longer
