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.
Am I the only one here that is absolutely incapable of any artistic productions? I swear 3/4 of the people here have posted some sort of Ridley fanart that they made.

And I have absolutely nothing. :c

It's just you. Look at all of the amazing art *I've* made in *MY* lifetime.

:awesome:

That was it. That was all of it. Right there. Yep.

I have a very simple to learn way to make fan art - use 3d models and BrawlBox. Then it just depends on your imaginatiooooooon :seuss:.
Guys, what is the best rendition of Ridley's theme? http://strawpoll.me/2039109 HAPPY VOTING!
Wait...MP Hunters theme? Dark Meta Ridley theme? They don`t even exist.

I'll be perfectly honest with you, until I met my current art teacher I used to think I didn't have an artist bone in my body. But she was able to show me how to do things in a way I understood. In fact I think the main reason why I got better is because she let me pick the subject. Most ark classes make everyone paint the same thing, but the class I'm in is completely free form, so I can choose whatever picture I want, like Ridley. :)

Granted, not all of us can do art, but I will say that if you can find something you like within a certain field, you'll go farther in it then you initially thought possible.

But that's enough motivational speeches for now, so what's the latest oddity in Ridley's lore that we've cooked up?

We added a rule (eating cookies and drinking cofee is not allowedd) to make sure everyone will archieve Ridley or Roidley`s body...sounds like a broken english to me for some reasons.

Nope in fact I used to show my paint skills as a joke :









Hard to believe that I post some of them more than 900 pages ago.....
I stopped doing those once we had some artist on the Ridley thread, I didn't want my horrible joke pictures in the middle of the new beautiful Ridley fanarts that they post nearly every day ^^

You guys see the pic of the day? The way Sakurai worded the whole thing just proves to me that he know what the people want. Just put Ridley in already Sakurai!

I'd actually disagree entirely...

There were people who were still hoping for those as alternate skins for megaman

And the way Sakurai worded his quote on the first picture (and the way this is alt costume week) people thought that's what he meant

then he gave us a double dosage of filler, with a side of heartbreak by saying they were trophies. On both systems!

I hope that Megaman really have an alt because that was pretty mean, if he don't and it was just a way for Sakurai to laugh at the hopes of Megaman fans then I fear for Ridley that Sakurai is just laughing at us too =/

I wouldn't be surprised if the tone came from the translation, I doubt he intended it to sound that way.

Japanese and English can't actually translate directly into each other, the sentence structures are to different, things are bound to sometimes get lost in translation.

In that case someone should always double check the post after grammaticaly correcting it so that false hope doesn't occur

Really I seriously doubt that they were going to have alternates to other megaman considering how very different there body types are. So to me hoping for a different costume like that, is kinda reaching, something like protoman would be more probable.

The first quote I didn't interrupt like that I have given up on trying to find patterns on sakurai I think he just does what every he wants:c

As I said, it doesn't translate directly, meaning that you can't keep the same grammar during translation, it wouldn't make sense.

A Japanese sentence doesn't need a noun to be a sentence. It needs either a noun, a verb, or an adjective. They can all act as the subject. It gets weird and confusing. Sometimes, in order for the translation to make sense and sound professional, the translator inserts some of his own wording. It's common practice.

I wasn't hurt either (except for the fact that it's boring filler) but I was reading opinions of sad megaman fans. I agree completely that it's impossible to predict sakurai, haha.

But who? Proto man? His scarf would require extra work like rigging it to at least move. Elec/Whatever robot master? That would make no sense since they have different abilities and in few cases different proportions. Any kind of other incarnation of Mega Man or Zero? Well, maybe Zero, but other incarnations of Mega Man are shown already during his Final Smash.
Im not against Mega Man and his franchise or supporting him. I am against only other reps of his company/franchise/whatever or any other 3rd party franchises being playable other than Pac Man and Sonic. 3rd party franchise can`t have more than 1 playable character no matter how popular, iconic or important it is. So, no Tails, Shadow, Zero, Bass, Willy, Eggman, those ghost or who else is in pacman games, Roll, etc. being playable. And one company having more than 1 franchise represented is too much.

...oh, right. Any news that actually are connected to Ridley?

I see a lot of request for a Megaman without his helmet.

As for news about Ridley, nothing new, like always.

We're even bigger than the Sm4sh social thread, haha. And for having only a few more pages than them, we have twice as many views.

Guess Ridley isn't that popular

I meant that they look at it and correct the sentence so that if it doesn't translate well, that they could say something that would be understandable and still show what we needed to know

I know. But you gotta remember, the guy that they hire as a translator probably doesn't have much to do with games. Sometimes, a slight change in wording can mean a lot to a dedicated fan, but nothing to a translator. We really don't know the full story.

...that?! Well...it requires only adding his hair with maybe few extra bones (if they move somehow)...so...it is easy to add.

Oh...and this is the biggest support thread, right?

When will this madness end?!

BIG NEWS FOR RIDLEY FANS!!

"In his semi-weekly column in Weekly Famitsu, series creator Masahiro Sakurai revealed that, much like the player-created Mii Warrior, Pac-Man was almost a guest character in the Wii game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. "During development of Smash Bros. Brawl, Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo approached me and asked, 'Can't we have Pac-Man as a guest character?'" Sakurai recalled. "At the time, imagining the image of Pac-Man and his incomplete pizza shape, I thought to myself, 'Hmmm... That's a little too farfetched.'"

Sakurai previously thought Pac-man was farfetched, just like Villager being too peaceful, and Little Mac being an assist trophy. I think this bodes will for Ridley regarding Sakurai's previous remarks.

Pretty sure this is one of the larges threads on the boards. Mainly because we kept having to restart the damn thing pre brawl. It was so much spammier back then. but I digress.

Mmhmm. Sakurai has changed his mind on a lot of things since brawl. Things that weren't considered back then have their slates wiped clean this time around.

Looking at the number of view on this thread at some particular moments I think people just like to see the massacre that is a too biggot trying to convince us that Ridley will never be playable, it's like watching a bird flying only to see it crash in a window, horrible, stupid but still funny as hell in it's own way.

TAKE THAT, DETRACTORS AND ESPECIALLY IDIOT DETRACTORS WHO CLAIM THAT SAKURAI HIMSELF DECONFIRMED RIDLEY DURING AN INTERVIEW!
...Anyway, this further confirms that Sakurai changes his opinion and things in this game like Little Mac turning into a playable character despite being an Assist Trophy before and Villager, while being "too peaceful", became a playable character that will have his leg benders broken because he didn`t gave Nook his money in time.

Just ANYTHING crashing into a window is funny in its own way. Unless it is something that can break it. And seeing someone getting his face blasted (not blow up or damaged horribly) by fireworks can be funny if it is his/her fault...

If this confirms that he, like every human, changed his opinion... it is quite possible that he decided that Ridley could be playable. However, he once again changed his opinion and decided to turn him into a boss. :awesome:

Probably nothing but I got a email about Hyper Japan



Since we didn't get any new info from the last one in Japan I'm doubtful but something to keep a eye out for at least

As someone who's seen birds fly into windows multiple times, even at one point had one die in his hands after a collision, I don't find such a fact funny whatsoever.

Perhaps the more operative phrase would have been, "funnier than a miscarriage." I doubt you have ever held a miscarriage, so it is much more funny that way! However, this is the Ridley thread, so I suppose we should change the example to Ridley flying into a window.
