Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Deleted member]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE'RE SO CLOSE.

This is one of those moments I feel like I was born for.

 

[Malkior7]

all aboard the ridley train!

 

[AndreaAC]

Wow, this went crazy....-u- having a post in the 1000 page in the name of the great and powerful Ridley will be enough....

 

[Malkior7]

Even though I have only been here for a short 200 pages it is an honor to post along side you all. ~bows~

 

[Oracle_Summon]

all aboard the ridley train!

I would be afraid Ridley would eat me.

 

[AustarusIV]

I finally managed to watch both videos of the E3 Treehouse Smash Live. So when I got to the part where the Mother Brain AT came out and grew larger, the first thought that came to my mind was:

"This is eerily reminiscent of the Ridley size debates."

 

[Malkior7]

ride the caboose then lol

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

HAIL TO THE WINGED GOD OF DEATH! HAIL! HAIL!!!

 

[Shaya]

Do not mourn and live a life of sorrow forever:
As now he has gone to a better place,
Where he isn't too big to fit in.

"Apple Heaven"
Where all your iPods, iPhones, iMacs and other Apple related products never break down, especially not a day after the warranty runs out!
Perfectly sized for your 2048P monitor wallpaper collection.

Guys, stop making other threads. They're going to be locked until we get this point across (especially if they're just "mods are jerks" whining).

And for further record, I was the one who locked it.

I'm sorry for any misunderstandings/communications on my part, but I had to put a stop to this. I get the milestone means a lot for many of us, especially those who have been here/lurked since the thread began, since Smash 4 Wii U/3DS got announced, since the Pyrosphere reveal, and since the Direct "shadow" feeding the flames of detractors everywhere. The fact of the matter is, however, that with all the rapid spamming/dramatic traffic the thread has gone through, this thread is quite literally entering the early stages of post-eating levels of bigness (like what happened to the last version of the Social thread), and thus, is (very, very unfortunately/ironically) too big. Currently a solution is being worked on.

Please understand.

Sincerely,
The Mod Squad

Meanwhile, at the Smash 4 Legion of Doom...

aka the Mod Squad

 

[The Real Gamer]

Yo, I heard you like
Big purple space dragons, right?
Well too bad, sucker.

 

[Opossum]

Ridley is too big.
Oh well, what more can you do?
Go play Other M.

 

[Shaya]

Great sorrow from Death,
Size need not matter! Oh Foul!
Mods need to chillax

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Ridley is crying
Why is he crying you ask?
He is just too big.

 

[Opossum]

And now, a limerick.

There once was a dragon named Ridley.
He was way too big, and not piddly.
He got deconfirmed.
The supporters all squirmed.
But now his whole thread can't do diddly.

 

[IsmaR]

And with that, I christen this page 1,000 of the Ridley for Smash 4 Wii U/3DS thread. Turns out it's 2,000 pages when we need to start worrying.

I was being serious as far as the spam levels of this thread go. While I understand there's reason to celebrate, remember the goal here is to not actually get the thread locked (lest we repeat history/get Ridley threads banned from Smashboards again). Here's to another 1,000 pages.

And thank you to everyone that made all of this possible. Whether the support was all for nothing in the end is irrelevant. Ridley for Sm4sh forever.

 

[Opossum]

Sincerely,

The Mod Squad.

(But that won't stop me from making crap pictures along with srs Rids stuff)

 

[Kamiko]

Why'd you all have to go and Mod up the top of the big page like that?
Oh well, here's that thing I mentioned:

Please excuse my outdated version of Blender.

 

[domokl]

Wooo yeahh ridley ftw page 1000

 

[NintenRob]

YAY FOR 1000, After this page we should get back to serious discussion. (sort of)

 

[Bravetriforcer]

HISTORY IS OF BEING MADE

Turns out it's 2,000 pages when we need to start worrying.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Whether the support was all for nothing in the end is irrelevant. Ridley for Sm4sh forever.

Keep hope alive, everyone!

Until the final roster is leaked I still believe!

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

Might as well post this again. Not sure if this is considered spam by the new standards.
PAGE 1,000!
Lookit that, Ridley! A thousand pages full of dedication and support just for you!

What do you think of that?

"...Eh, that's nice."

-----

So...what about air grabs? Should Ridley have air grabs?
I wonder if he could like the opposite of Mac. Strong in the air, kinda suckish on land.

[FlappyFalco]

So the mods spammed to get the thread past 1000, so that we wouldn't!?

 

[Shaya]

It was a colossal battle.
IsmaR officially become a populist. The political landscape is in disarray.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

So, about them gameplay

Spiked tail pogo stick

Down B or some kind of Down aerial AKA Link

 

[Oracle_Summon]

Guys guys. The mods just wanted some Salty tears before the goal was reached.

The only part I don't understand is why the Mods would continue to do this since it only gives them more traffic?

P.S. Thanks mods I won a bet, predicting you guys would do this.

 

[domokl]

WE HAVE MADE IT FAR GUYS WE HAVE DONE IT
.now to get to 2000

 

[Oracle_Summon]

Hey Mods, is there something we can give to Headcrab Jackal for being the first ever 1,000th poster? Like a badge or something to show it?

 

[Angelglory]

Happy 1,000 everybody!

 

[Sehnsucht]

At first, I was fapping at my screen in protest of staff shenanigans.

But as things went on, I slowly started to fap in appreciation.

Everything ended well.

 

[domokl]

I shall change my avatar in celebration in this moment

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

You guys fail at spamming if you couldn't get to the 1000th page in the 5 minutes it took to lock this thread

Also Ridley something or other

 

[darksamus77]

Now we only need 8001 more pages

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Glad that's over!

 

[Reginleif]

1000 pages does this mean the meltdowns will be huge if by any chance ridley doesnt make it

 

[Bravetriforcer]

1000 pages does this mean the meltdowns will be huge if by any chance ridley doesnt make it

We'll take down the entire board if we have to.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

I actually just barely stopped it on the last reply of page 999 by pure bull**** luck.

This also wasn't premeditated until like 5 minutes before.

I think a new page is made every 40 posts, with the 41'st post being on the new page. The thread was locked on the 39'th post.

I have no regrets. Although I guess I should change my title to Official Jerk now, I deserve it.

Super Sand Jerk?

So, about them gameplay

Spiked tail pogo stick

Down B or some kind of Down aerial AKA Link

Sounds odd. Reminds me of the tail scrape attack thing he does as a SSBB boss.

And to quote what I said earlier:

So...what about air grabs? Should Ridley have air grabs?
I wonder if he could like the opposite of Mac. Strong in the air, kinda suckish on land.

What are your thoughts on that? I know you guys talked about air grabs and stuff on occasion. I think it'd make him stand out from the crowd.
