I've had one wake me up from sleep when that happened, I think it lived though.
The evidence supporting Ridley being playable just stacks up even higher
No, but my sister did, so that's even more unfunny.
That is not necessarily evidence in his favor though, it is not even relevant.
I apologize, but I still believe that it is humorous!
*shakes head* Ah, never mind me, I'm just a little irritable today. Water's under the bridge now, so let'sI apologize, but I still believe that it is humorous!
We'll see, this doesn't necessarily co-relate to Ridley. We already knew he has done some rethinking on previously declined characters like Villager, Little Mac and Miis, so this isn't really something new. Regardless, it's only good that he has most likely given Ridley another look, but his fate isn't destined to follow the others', I wouldn't be surprised if another character like Sukapon has been declined once again, Ridley could just as easily follow that route. Either way, it's not really big news.
I had to read through 4 pages before I could get back and reply to this.
Yep, all we know Ridley does is fly to near the middle of the stage, stop, fly further towards the end of the stage, and finally leap upwards. All of these things could be done by both a boss and a character with a Peach-like flying move, so we can't really determine anything from his actions. The only suspicious part, outside of only showing his shadow of course, is his stiff limbs when he stops, his idle flying animation was likely not finished when they grabbed the footage, which again isn't anything that could be exclusive to either role, and we don't know when the footage was from (some of the Direct footage was from before Lucario and Diddy even had their renders.)
You know, this gives me inspiration to make something stupid. I'll edit this post when it's done.
Ridley konfirmed. Er, I mean, confirmed.
Where was the gif of that jump posted anyway? I really want to see it.
Adding to that, it would also mean that, if those platforms don't move, the Ridley boss fight would be the only one on a stage with platforms.
The only platforms we saw move were non-static platforms on Wily's Castle. We don't really have any reason to think Pyrosphere's static platforms would move.
Though, weren't there bits on the bottom side of the platforms that resemble little jets?
The platforms on Wily's Castle just disappear from what I remember, so I'm pretty sure those things are only aesthetic.
It's impossible to say if they do anything at all when we have only seen one unchanging platform layout on the stage. It's possible that they could just be aesthetic.
Its pretty interesting that one of the first stages we ever heard about is the one we know the least about. Some people like to speculate its just unfinished but if so then why show it off so early....Its maddening.
They showed off extremely early and also showed it a *LOT*. The earlier they showed it though, the less likely I feel it is for it to just be 'incomplete'. The stage would have to have required eight months, PLUS however much work it took to get the stage to the point it was at in August at the very least to complete. And I am pretty sure that a single stage's programming time can accurately be described as "eight months minimum".
Unless of course, we already know all there is to know about the stage, which I think is what most of us are hoping for.
Though that doesn't explain the tubes. Unlike the jets, the tubes stick out pretty hard and definitely are not on the DoA or original version of the platform.
I think it has a stage hazard of some sort (probably lava, given the lack of the lava flow in the FD version), he probably just doesn't want us to know what that stage hazard is.
The FD version does apparently have a lava flow in one screenshot. However that doesn't really confirm or deconfirm anything from being involved in the stage hazard. It's just that now we have a little less to be sure of in the form of alternatives.
Well, I wasn't saying there wasn't anything, just that it's possible. As strange as it would be, it's entirely possible that those things at the bottom are just kind sitting there because they feel like it.
The space pirates should set traps with that logic. Make an obvious morph ball tunnel and have it drop into a room full of lava with no exit.The reasons behind the tubes
And so Samus falls for it, hide it behind something. I know! How about a power up? This dumb useless Varia suit upgrade thing would work. Samus will roll into the item, go into the tube, and fall in the lava! Foolproof.
Bombs. Heck, I don't even see why Samus can't just blast holes through walls. She sure can commit genocide real well.
YOU STOLE MY AVATAR! WAAAAH!
Oh man, good luck actually trying to find it in the original post!
It's weird how much it just looks like a jump, considering how quickly his upward momentum just stops and how abruptly he just starts going right after going left.
But there's no meat on them. You'd need like 3 or 4 Ridleys just to feed yourself, let alone your family. It's just not practical.
Hm yeah I guess so. They just look really good. Kraid's look a bit flabby but they're probably enough to do the job.
