Is this the version of Ridley that people support most for SSB4? Just curious.
I dunno, but this seems to be the most likely model used for Smash, based on the Direct.
Personally, there's no way Ridley can be a boss and a fighter, as this size was based on the brief "Other Boss character appearances" segment and is not wishful thinking.

This version of Ridley looks awesome is all I got to say about it.

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.
Remember that the shot is at an angle.
Are there any straight-on shots of the stage?

Every angle of this stage we have ever seen is covered in this screenshot. He seems to basically take up the entirety of the smaller platform, and a fourth or so of the larger one.

So even if he's small compared to Yellow Devil and is closer to playable size, the fact of the matter is he is a boss who takes up a much larger chunk of their own stage than a 9th or a 10th.

I would say in that screenshot, he's only slightly too large to be a good playable size. If they shrunk him down by like, I dunno, 1 fifth, he'd be bowser sized, easy.

He is in the background in this pic so he is actually larger then this.

Wow, I've been spending too much time on this thread. I started posting on smashboards like a week ago and It says I already posted 109 times. This is the only place I've posted. I think I'm a little too invested in Ridley.

Awh man. I had a very realistic dream of Ridley being revealed. For a little bit after waking up, I thought the memory of it was of something real. I wasn't even freaking out about it, I was just critically analyzing the trailer, lol. "That moveset was a little unimaginative," "Really thought he'd make more use of flying," among other things like "Oh, I should probably check on how the thread is reacting."

He didn't have his own little CG video either, the reveal was more like Zero Suit Samus's. Just a voiceover of Sakurai going "You probably thought this character was just a stage boss... WELL!"



Oh well.
I would hate Sakurai if Ridley didn't get a CG trailer.

I had a Ridley dream today. I was Ridley (as in I was actually Ridley, not playing him) in a smash battle, I ended up losing to the ice climbers. Not really something that has to do with his fate like everyone else's dreams but I thought I could share mine anyways.

Am I cool now?

Inb4 Ridley and ice climbers revealed together. Prophetic visions? Yeah, I'd say you're cool.

I vote as the Employee Coordinator of the Lounge that we make an executive order to ban caffeinated coffee and especially cookies, all that caffeine from the coffee and all the sugar, useless carbs, and potentially fat from the cookies is unnecessary and unhealthy.




After all, if all we do is eat cookies and drink coffee we'll never achieve the great bodies that Ridley and Roidley have:



:troll:


I'm half-kidding :awesome:

Man, I gotta start having some Ridley dreams, I feel left out.
Speak for yourself. I've been having Ridley nightmares.

There's this one time where I dreamed that there were team battle versions of boss fights, in which one of them had Ridley and King K. Rool fighting together.

Dreams with Ridley again? Why i don`t have any?! The only thing i`ve got today was a pretty weird alien invasion...with Nemesis (ship from transformers) above Big Ben that looked too low to be Big Ben...

Back to Ridley:

This is a pretty good sculpture by NeroKarasu from deviantArt. What do you think of it?

I think it'd be pretty hard for this Ridley to fly with part of his wings injected into his shoulders like that. :troll:

It's actually really good/cool though, I could never hope to do that.

If anything Ridley is the one who needs to go on a diet. He needs to get small enough to make it into smash.

Mean neither. :ohwell:

However, this does remind me to say that my painting of Ridley will (probably) finally be finished sometime next week. Can't wait to share it with you all.

Nah, it just because of the angle. Otherwise, they are separate. Even if they are not, he still can jump and flap them, like in original Metroid.

...i already archieved Ridley`s and i eat cookies if there is any, so, you can eat cookies without having to worry about that.
