Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Phaazoid]

This is even more appropriate because they keep saying "you can't fit in!"

You gotta love the spongebob references

 

[Malle]

So.. Why Wario then? Any veteran could be revealed really.
Meta Knight
Captain Falcon
Ice Climbers
Jigglypuff
Falco
Wolf
Game & Watch (Perhaps the most obvious choice of them all?)
Ganondorf
R.O.B
Lucas/Ness

If people for some reason do believe that some characters will remain hidden (which I too believe) It can't just be the "original 4" considering Luigi to already have been announced. So, why Wario, and while it can be a lucky guess then.. No, WHY WARIO?

Because of all the starting characters to be announced from brawl, the only 3 still not shown are wario, ice climbers, and meta knight

there is speculation that meta knight is going to be a hidden character this time around because we already have 2 kirby characters

that leaves wario and ice climbers as the most likely to be revealed veterans.

If I were making a leak, I would pin it on one of them .

Luigi is revealed and he surely will be hidden tho.. Unless they twist it this time. I am sure we really can't predict their moves whatsoever. Meta Knight may be hidden, yes, but Dedede might be that as well. Game & Watch also has been "shown", in my eyes would be quite fine to just reveal him the next.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

You know, even if a legit leak made it to the internet that claimed a character was going to be revealed at some point in the future...

Couldn't Nintendo, like, change their minds at the last minute and move down the reveal date? This stuff ain't exactly set in stone.

Just because some previously hidden vets (TL, luigi, lucario) have been revealed doesn't mean that now all are going to be revealed before hand. if G&W was gonna be shown early it woulda been right next to pac man, imo.

But remember, the people making these leaks are pinning it on the MOST LIKELY reveals. If a character was ever hidden, they are inherently less likely than one who was previously a starter.

Wario and Ice Climbers have the most going for them as the next reveals. Sure, it really could be anyone, but they are the most popular/safe guesses atm, which is my point.

It's sakurai's personal blog. He does what he wants. Want a new character? Here's Luigi's nose instead.

It's the third Tuesday of the month? Have a newcomer.

The problem with that is that the leaker seems confident about Wario being revealed this week. This is an issue that I've been seeing with recent "leaks" as of lately, they want to pin all their credibility on a certain character being revealed, despite it being obvious that Sakurai is completely unpredictable at making updates.

It's not a problem. If you're some random person and have nothing to lose by making a leak, you go all or nothing. The mentality is, make the bet. If you fool people, HA, you fooled people. If not, people just forget about you (the leak that pinned itself on falco being revealed)

 

[WayfaringElf]

I bet that Sakurai saw it and is gonna announce Wario just to screw with people.

 

[TitanTeaTime]

I bet that Sakurai saw it and is gonna announce Wario just to screw with people.

Or he'll be revealed the monday after the leak's deadline has passed.

 

[BKupa666]

Call it a hunch, but I think Sakurai has better things to do than pay attention to a GameFAQs troll's wishlist blown out of proportion by leak fetishists here.

To make this comment Ridley-related, Ridley still has a reasonable shot without this wishlist. Nothing is riding on it for him.

 

[Snagrio]

I bet that Sakurai saw it and is gonna announce Wario just to screw with people.

I doubt Sakurai saw some insignificant leak like this. Gematsu and the Palutena images are likely, but not something that hasn't gained a massive following.

Although I'm going to laugh for days if we do see Wario tomorrow.

 

[WayfaringElf]

I don't think many here get the idea of sarcasm or stupidity. Then again, this is just a box of text which from tones can not be derived.

Well yeah, but you know...
jokes?
I guess that wasn't as funny as I thought

You'd lose that bet.

 

[BlueBubbee]

"Gematsu Plus" leak (which is to be determined true/false tomorrow) =/= Gematsu leak.

Some people consider the end of the week as Sunday, so I'd leave the doors open until then (don't expect anything huge, though)


EDIT: The Gematsu Plus Leak was a big topic of discussion earlier in the week over in the Mewtwo Support Thread under Unconfirmed Veterans, although I probably shouldn't advertise you to go read our discussions over there .

Emoticons. Use them.

 

[majora_787]

Huh. Light Suit Samus. With the light suit AND dark suit to make up for the fusion suit and give Samus some nice alt colors, I'm really starting to wonder if Ridley would get some kind of Meta Ridley texture change or something. That'd be pretty awesome.

 

[Hong]

Meta-Ridley is a more than reasonable request with the kinds of textures we're getting.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

A gray Ridley with a yellow wingspan is too obvious to not happen, especially with Meta Ridley being a boss last game, but no way we're getting an actual alt costume with the Other M design.

 

[AndreaAC]

I can't picture Roidley with Meta Ridley's colors but....it could be a possibility....

EDIT: NEVERMIND

 

[Samuel Intrater]

If Wario's revealed tomorrow, my hopes for Ridley will go way up. Right now, I think he's got about a 30% chance, but if Wario's revealed tomorrow then I'd say he has around a 50% chance.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

I take all leaks with a grain of salt. Even if Wario is revealed tomorrow, not buying it.

I can believe Ridley, K. Rool, and Mewtwo can be in the game without relying on some phony leak.

 

[majora_787]

Well no not an alt obviously. But a Meta Ridley texture change would be great and totally doable.

EDIT: Yes. Ridley don't need no stinking fake leaks.

Only way Wario could be revealed after tomorrow's pic would be through EVO, which is very doubtful.

Eh, not wanting to make a big discussion about it.

 

[Deleted member]

My internet crashed some days ago, did I lose anything important?

 

[UltimateWario]

I literally thought this PotD was fanmade.

I think Sakurai might be on drugs.

 

[majora_787]

He wants to make more involved alternate colors and whatnot. What's the problem? o_O

 

[UltimateWario]

There isn't one. But the "I just made this as my first attempt at a Brawl hack" Mario costume and the Star Wars reference in the description instantly made me think that somebody just make a mock-up of a previous PoTD.

And yay, Samus finally gets a color besides the Gravity Suit that doesn't look like garbage.

 

[Deleted member]

Today's pic just raise my hopes that Sakurai is working really well with alt/palletes, which means Meta Ridley is possible(just don't be like Link's SS costume)

 

[darksamus77]

this was on the smash subreddit, just thought I'd post it here

Spoiler

Posted this two pages before you but it's definitely good enough to be posted twice.

Oh, and the thing people forget about this is he DOES get in. Here's hoping.

 

[majora_787]

I dunno, I thought the Dark Suit was fine. The lack of an orange visor aside. Though yes the star wars reference definitely threw me off too. xD

 

[kisamehoshi34]

but the phanzon suit would have been better then the dark suit and light.. with the black/red I am pretty sure sakurai can modiy a little the design of ridley to have a metal roidley would be awsome

 

[SchAlternate]

With the Storm Trooper alt for Samus, we should get a Tatooine alt for Ridley

No. Samus references Star Wars. Ridley would obviously reference Aliens.

(Also, am I the only one that really wants to see a Phazon Suit alt for Samus?)

 

[Meandpikachu]

Seek and find sought and found.

I don't buy it. Too Brawl-esque. and the font/background for the the "looms big" shot are all wrong. (Besides, I like my tagline better.)

YES!!! I WANT HIM THE MOST!!!!!!

 

[kisamehoshi34]

no like I just said I want the phanzon suit from Metroid prime 1

Mbad

I don't actually read the parts that I miss

 

[DustyPumpkin]

You thought Roidley had a load of unnecessary spikes, well wait till you see....

COMMERCIALEY

 

[Knight Dude]

I'm mostly hoping that if he is playable, he'll get a Zero Mission and Meta Ridley color swaps. But Metroid 1 Ridley would be a bit weird alternate costume. I don't know, something about the neon green stands out. So I guess that's something.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

You know...That model isn't half-bad.

Maybe it's the longer legs that make him look less steroid-abusive and more like a BAMF Space Dragon. It looks like he could stand upright and look imposing rather than silly.

And it's a decent Smash Bros. size. Lil' Samus comes up to Ridley's knee, and we know how tall an Amazon Samus is.

I MAY need some size comparisons with lil' Samus and Adult Samus to make sure.
