I think a Ridley air grab gimmick would have to work with a gimmick that allows him to float above the ground. Think Peach but forever and only above platforms.

Woke up one page late... RIDLEY CONFIRMED.
Mornin'

..Of course I'd miss 1000th page =.=

Guys, guys, it's ok. I'm probably the most important person in this thread, and I missed page 1000, so you all are forgiven. Sometimes, you can't account for all the variables, like endless mod spam.

Was Ridley confirmed in a secret direct though? :troll::samus::samus::troll:

Y'know I'd probably make better pictures if I upgraded from an Ipod

Ugh... My damn dog came right up and whined in my ear for nothing, and now I have a wonderful collective five hours of sleep. Super.

Uhh... I think a sort of Meta re-texture would be pretty cool. Probably.

So I wake up this morning after that fiasco to find the thread isn't locked anymore.

What a pleasant surprise.

Looks like my life isn't over yet.


Also:
What pallet swaps do people want?
Black Ridley is best Ridley. But a Blood-Red Ridley color would also look pretty cool, and I expect that one a little bit more than a Black Color, tbh.

Honestly if @ IsmaR IsmaR hadn't joke locked the thread I would've been disappointed

the fact that she did it on the last post of page 999 by accident made it all the sweeter, xD

The Ridley trolldome lives on

I honestly doubt we'll know until the game comes out.

I wouldn't be putting my eggs in the August basket if I were you guys. Hold your breath until September.

I expect the final roster, which would include the veterans that did make it in, to start being leaked somewhere next month. Didn't the legitimate Brawl leaks start a few months before the original release of Brawl?

Bah, I missed the 1000 page celebration.

But oh well, I'll be on topic for the remainder of this thread's existence. I thought about Ridley's standard attacks, and he should use his tail-spike for multi-hit jabs. It would differentiate him from Bowser and Charizard, who detractors often use as examples of Ridley being "unoriginal".

So basically, his tilts, and his aerials should all use it in some form instead of his claws.

I'd really like his Nintendo Land design:


And Ice Ridley colour as well:

If I remember correctly it wasn't actually too long before the Japanese release. I want to say weeks, not months.

I'll have to look it up for sure.

It's kind of funny that they do that because it seems like people don't realize how often we're joking when we latch onto everything. :p Like 95% of the time

I always remembered it being leaked a few weeks before Brawl's release in Japan. So I would probably start worrying for Ridley around August (wow, how ironic).

D`OH I MISSED 1000TH PAGE!
Nice image, @Angelglory...but i would prefer it to be 300% Ridley instead of just 1/3 Ridley...but that is just me.

And i am against idea of Ridley being as bad on the ground as Little Mac is bad in the air. At least Brawl Bowser bad would be perfect because Ridley was shown to be pretty fast on the ground in games where he was on the ground for a part of the battle. He still has end lag and start lag (they are called so, right?) in those games...
FRICK I fell asleep.

Dang it.

Ah well, who cares.

xD You two aren't the only ones that missed page 1000. but I don't gently care if I missed it, baing able to post in this thread again makes me happy enough.

-u- And I changed my avi to my Ridley war propaganda (well, part of it), it is way TOO BIG to fit on my scanner...

is anyone else annoyed on how Game Explain makes fun of Ridley fans.
Well didn't they use the cloud as an example of Pac-Man getting in? I don't see how they're any better than us for doing crap like that. Also, I don't think the Kremlings mean that K. Rool is a lock (it might mean he's a boss hazard).

Ignore them, like I do. Their videos don't mean anything.

Why was it released so early before its actual Japanese release? I remember it happening, I just don't remember how.

They say Ridley supporters cling onto anything, yet when they see a homage to balloon fight with Villagers they think it's a whole new mode,

Exactly. Their videos are crap, and they know just as little as the rest of the fanbase.

But we're getting off-topic here, and I don't want this thread to be locked. So what about jabs? I said that Ridley using his tail-spike in all of his standard moves would work better than his claws because that's the move he's most famous for in Metroid.

Oh come on, for once that Sakurai talk about size but nobody take it seriously, people still say that we did ?

I didn't see any Ridley fans here, on gamefaqs or neogaf really thinking that it was a reference to Ridley, so who did ? Miiverse ?

We are already seen as the laughing stock of smash fans by a lot of people for some reason, why would you make it even worse with something that we didn't even say or thought ?

It's sad because from what I've seen, despite their attitude, their analysis is better than most other people who do this stuff on Youtube. r__r

Anyway, I'm not sure. In the DK picture, it seems way too bright to be a reflection to me personally, but the way the camera is, it could be a reflection from the front of the stage. So I dunno.

I actually think most of their vids are really good, especially the analysis.
However, they often get their terminology (calling stages 'arenas') or misunderstand a fan base (as seen today), which can tick many off
On Topic: About that lava again. thoughts?
