: Oh, really? Hm, my memory fails me then.
They played both Metroid and DK music at E3, and ironically both DK and Samus were skipped in the Invitational. I never heard anyone chanting Ridley, but it is true they were playing Metroid music. Wouldn't surprise me if people were chanting Ridley's name, though.@
Someone mentioned that the crowd at the e3 invitational was chanting Ridley's name when they were playing Metroid music. Any truth to this statement?
That's actually mine. Hello.Good read, now I can copy paste a simple picture to any Ridley hater.
Also, have you guys seen this size comparison?
Unless you have a gamefaqs account, then I stole it from someone who stole it.That's actually mine. Hello.
Austin_4e?I do have a Gamefaqs account. And I post my size comparison publicly so IDRC if people take it and show it around.
For the record the newest one is this:
The biggest forseeable problem I am able to see here is Bowser's shadow may actually be underestimated, since the Bowser in the lower right that is casting the shadow still seems smaller than Bowser actually is.
That wouldn't be me. Austin_4e though is responsible for the addition in the lower left corner of Ridley's rotated shadow, which he added to my old size comparison which sloppily had Bowser standing on Ridley's shadow as a comparison.
I honestly do not even interpret acknowledging that one was incorrect as a negative. I am not sure why we must be humble to retain some sort of facade.
When people spew **** like "I hope Ridley is NEVER playable just so I can rub it in the Ridley fans' faces," (pretty sure I saw this in the comments for that GameExplain video; the one where the guy they interviewed mentioned [Mini] Kraid in Smash Run) its hard not to want to spew **** right back to them.
He didnt even Show Mewtwo.......
You should probably read, like, two pages of this thread before making that assessment.
No, he wasn`t deconfirmed nor he was confirmed. His role was left unknown. Showing his shadow without even saying "Ridley" is not deconfirmation. Saying that Skull Kid is an assist trophy IS deconfirmation.
Secretive? It was OBVIOUS what Yellow Devil would do. Yellow Devil wouldn`t SUPLEX TRAIN MOTHERF- Yellow Devil wouldn`t suplex someone or just move his body in any normal way other than separating into pieces. I doubt that someone who knows YD wouldn`t figure out what he will do as a boss. Or someone would really think:
No he wasn't, Yellow Devil was shown in plain sight at E3 2013. No-one expected Yellow Devil in the game, and I doubt anyone would have expected him to be playable. People assumed he'd have a boss role, even before his role was mentioned (which was a few months later), that's not secretive. Ridley, on the other hand, is the most requested first party character for newcomer status. He has just been teased, not shown (bar some slow shadow and a tip of a tail at a glance), and Sakurai refuses to even say Ridley's name (even 8/9 months later after the Pyrosphere stage reveal), that's secretive. Stop taking everything from Sakurai with face value, especially when the SSB Direct was full of teasing and trolling. Just because he says something ambiguous, doesn't mean it spells doom and gloom for a character. He has already shown other bosses (which fits the "other boss characters appear on other stages"), and it's possible for Sakurai to do an ultimate troll move by making people assume Ridley is a boss hazard and then reveal him as a playable character. Or, you know, Ridley could be both playable and a boss (hazard), it's not written in stone that characters have to be set with one role. I mean, Bowser was both playable and a boss in Super Smash Bros. Melee (Adventure mode), and Toon Link is both playable and part of the Spirit Tracks stage for SSB4 3DS version. So... yeah... Until Sakurai specifically shows and states what Ridley does, Ridley has not been "de-confirmed".
That doesn`t counts. Technically, he is a normal CPU character like any other playable character used by CPU. He was just a little bit stronger and bigger.
A bit smaller than usual = somewhere near Rosalina/Bowser`s size. Not 2x/3x (that is his max size in Metroid games)/10x (what some of the detractors say...well, that is not exactly what they say, but whatever) bigger than Samus. That just makes outcome with him being a boss even more ridicolous and less possible, not impossible.Lol, give big boi @ R Rosalina&Greninja a break guys, sure he's wrong about the Yellow Devil, but it's entirely reasonable for one to believe Ridley's a boss based on what was seen and heard in the Direct. All we know for sure is that in some form, Other M Ridley is in the game, and is strongly hinted to be a boss in the Pyrosphere stage. The people here who actually took the time to analyze the shadows in the Direct have concluded that Other M Ridley is looking to be a bit small for his typical size and for the stage he is featured in, and are guessing that he is playable taking all of that into account.
Here, let me whip this one out for all y'all's pleasure.
-------------------------------------------------"We're gonna speculate about one character and one character only: Ridley from the Metroid series."
"I'm not going to jump to conclusions about his playability after only seeing his shadow and tail, that's stupid. I don't even know what that means."
I'll give you a good answer here. Ridley wasn't actually shown as not playable. That's Sakurai's trick. He talks about Boss hazards, then shows a characters shadow. So the first logical assumption is, that character is probably a boss, right? And I agree, that would make perfect sense, if not for a single fact. Sakurai is a giant troll.
Its not? I've been doing this thread wrong the whole time
I agree. But still its better to first read at least 50 pages of such threads before saying something like that. We still are guilty. Maybe that is because of all of those debates and idiots from GamesFAQ and Miiverse making us really angry since that Direc- since Brawl days...
Fun fact. Before Man discovered fire, they discovered arguing about Ridley's size. Some scientists even theorize this began before Man even existed.
While punching idiots is fine, there is a difference between idiocy and ignorance. If I can be nice after the Brawl era (2006 accountt here), I hope you guys can be too. You can't take your anger from miiverse/gameFAQ here, it makes everyone look bad.
You gotta teach me how to punch people over the internet, then. That's amazing.
Mmhmm, a few people have brought that up. Some people think along the lines of Other M Ridley will be a Pyrosphere boss, while Super Metroid Ridley will be playable.
So we can't punch naysayers?
Naysayers who aren't toxic? no.So we can't punch naysayers?
We can't judge his size very well by his shadow alone, unfortunately. We don't have a very accurate representation of Ridley's size because we don't know what model he's using in the game. In Brawl, Meta Ridley's Wingspan was cut more than in half, and that was for making him a boss. I'm sure if they wanted to make him playable, his model's size wouldn't be too big of an issue.Hmm, I don't know. Maybe I'm just a little pessimistic
But I wouldn't take Ridley size as proof he is playable.
If you ignore his wing span, he is probably about the same size as Bowser.
A man can dream. And so can you, Oasis.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH My apologies, I was confused, your confuse ray worked well
I thought I was the only one who used this logic! It does seem wierd that he's avoided saying his name every time he talks about him. I think he would only do that for playable characters that haven't been announced.
Im going to make one for my comparison later.I do have a Gamefaqs account. And I post my size comparison publicly so IDRC if people take it and show it around.
For the record the newest one is this:
The biggest forseeable problem I am able to see here is Bowser's shadow may actually be underestimated, since the Bowser in the lower right that is casting the shadow still seems smaller than Bowser actually is.
Is this the version of Ridley that people support most for SSB4? Just curious.Did this for funsies.
That's interesting. Though of course Dark Emperor still seems to be a bit larger still. And on a much smaller stage than Pyrosphere. If I remember right, that picture encompasses the entire larger side of the stage.Did this for funsies.
