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.
If you manage to bag a Kraid, you won't have to worry about food for a few weeks, given a decent meat locker. You have to be mindful of those fake Kraids, though, you won't get nearly as much out of them, and they have a nasty bite.

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.
Interesting so pac-man was requested in brawl.

I guess if we knew about it earlier before smash 4 trailers/pictures began are votes for pac-man would have ben set to lock due to namco working with sakurai on number 4.

Anyway yes that helps ridley due to sakurai changing his mind alot so a third character was thought to not work and now they are playable, and ridley shadow tease im sense a 4th character thought to be impossible for playable now playable.

Its possible the Dark Emperor is just a stage hazard like Twinrova so nothing would have to change.
While I get that the "boss" shtick is meant to be a "unique" new addition to Smash, I really don't think it'll matter to most people whether you can hit the stage hazards. I do, however think that Dark Emperor looks to be much more "involved" in hazarding, making me think he could be a boss.

We haven't seen much of Gerudo Valley, so no idea on Twinrova (Koume and Kotake show up separately, but I could see them combining at some point). The only thing we do know is Kamek/Nabbit on Mushroom Kingdom U means that they're really going out of their way with hazards this time around. While some of them are cool when done well, I'll be really sad if this ends up being our "at least Ridley shows up in some way" reasoning for not making him playable.

I just checked back a few pages, and didn't see this discussed so I thought I'd bring it up, but did you guys hear how Kraid is supposedly a smash run boss? If Kraid is already a boss, that might boost Ridleys chances even more. Check around minute 24 in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujAkMslCfjo
Yeah, both the Ridley topic and K. Rool topic have been discussing it quite a bit. The Ridley topic stopped discussing it about ten pages back, though. (Also, its probably Mini Kraid, not full-size Kraid.)

Ahh sorry. I thought it quite odd I hadn't seen it, but I forgot how fast this thread moves. I agree on how it would be mini Kraid though.

Not by too. Much but kraid will definatly be smaller than he is.

By the way if kraid is a boss it will most likely indeed help ridley.



Oh by the way i feel that the smash run enemys/mini-boss's/boss's will be in adventure mode.

Agreed, I think there's going to be an Adventure Mode on the Wii U version again, it'll be closer to SSE than Melee, but it won't be to quite the same extent as it wouldn't have cutscenes and everything.

I hope it doesn't lean towards SSE I personally loved Melee's and hope it makes a return.
With all the newcomers it'd be very interesting, Pac-man inspired part, Mega Man inspired part, and of course a Sonic inspired part.

You know what, I'd like it to be like that. Mostly for the more traditional bosses, as opposed to stuff like the Yellow Devil is now.
Especially if Duon returns for that, I really liked that thing's design. But hopefully Ridley won't have that happen to him. Cause he'll be playable. Hopefully.

Ridley is either playable or a stage hazard on the Pyrosphere at this point. I don't think he has to fear showing up in any other non-playable role.

He wears the master and crazy hands, and acts as the game's super boss with 50 million hp.

Ridley still can be a "boss" (just Ridley under effect of Super Mushroom) for Adventure mode, with a level after it similar to one used in Melee`s adventure mode after beating Samus and before fighting Kirbies.

Agreed. An extended version of Melee's Adventure mode would be perfect. I always thought it (the level designs) felt much more complete than SSE. Playing through levels inspired by different franchises felt refreshing, unlike SSE where I got tired on my 3rd run.

Inb4 you get Ridley as your partner for the 2v2 in classic mode and if you play as Samus/ZSS he turns against you. :awesome:

Oh, well, I completely agree that the levels should be franchise-inspired. I'd just like something with a bit more Substance than Melee's Adventure Mode. :p

What is with the disturbing Ridley pictures?
THERE IS NO DISTURBING RIDLEY PICTURES. YOU JUST CANNOT GRASP TRUE FORM OF THOSE IMAGES. THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THAT. ABANDON DREAMS AND HOPES, SUPPORT RIDLEY.
...WELL...this madness will never end in this thread and it is one of the reasons why i like it.

That's why I said "extended version" ;) I personally liked the vibe I got from playing through Adventure mode it felt like something not that complicated, that could be enjoyed for what it was. Since the Wii U is more powerful than the 3DS it would be a waste to not include something like this. Maybe we could have new types of modes a la Race to the Finish incorporated into each franchise's level to give it more depth or make the levels unique for each character (Per franchise) so when you play through it again it doesn't feel tiresome, but enjoyable. At the end of the day we might get a mix of both excluding the cutscenes. Part of me still wants something like the 15 second scenes in Melee tho....

His meat is too tough/thick even for sharks and Samus, so, it would be a waste of time and money. I would recommend you Draygon meat.
Samus is part metroid now, or later...You know what I mean, I think need a metroid game that uses that an a mechanic, and Ridley would be smart enough to keep her hands away when grabbing her if that happens

Yes, just like that...this is 2nd time (or 3rd...2nd or 3rd?) someone turns my words into a picture. Thanks for that image.

Unless Ridley will become part-metroid and will abuse that more than Samus...anyway, she won`t be able to eat Kraid`s meat no matter how. And it tastes like a bullet bill.

Saw some post by Majora a couple pages back about why would Sakurai hype Ridley being a boss, not changing his role at all.

Because he's an oblivious idiot sometimes. An oblivious idiot who is great at making games. Let's just be real with ourselves XD

I had a dream that Sakurai's decision to add Ridley was because he was having an affair behind his wife's back, he was in bed with another woman preparing to get it on. Then the woman stops him and says "No Sakurai-san, you're too big", and she leaves the room. Sakurai then lays down and stares at the ceiling and contemplates. Suddenly he realizes what he must do.

Then somewhere in the dream he was riding Ridley and fighting Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon, but I have no clue how the story progressed in that direction.
