Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Yoshi-Thomas]

Guys. guuys. I have something to tell you. I hate to break it to ya, but.... Ridley x Rosalina is the main shipping

Fixed for you.

 

[Bedoop]

A personality for killing stuff. NOT FOR FALLING IN LOVE AND HAVING INTELLIGENT CONVERSATIONS WITH SMASH CHARACTERS HE WANTS TO KILL

You do know that Ridley is actually really Intelligent, right? He does what he wants.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Ridley confirmed as rapist

 

[AustarusIV]

Ridley confirmed as musician

Fixed for ya. I wouldn't even be surprised if he composed his own themes.

 

[WayfaringElf]

Ridley confirmed as boss hazard

fixed.

 

[AndreaAC]

Ridley confirmed as rapist

O__________O That was too much....

 

[Pacack]

Fixed for ya. I wouldn't even be surprised if he composed his own themes.

[obligatory screamo music]

 

[Yoshi-Thomas]

Ridley confirmed as Sakurai

Oh the irony if it was true.

 

[BlueBubbee]

O__________O That was too much....

There is never too much Ridley.

Is Shulk really that popular? I kinda figured that the main base for Shulk support was in Japan, and that the overseas fanbase just took it as seeing he has a shot. Xenoblade, from what I've heard, only had a limited release in North America and was only found in one retail store (which sold it for an outrageous price), limiting the potential audience for that game.

I think people are greatly exaggerating Shulk's popularity in the Nintendo fanbase.

Then again, the only reason the game got released in North America at all is because fans were demanding for it and two other JRPGs to be released here as well. See Operation Rainfall for further reference.

So yeah, with all the praise it got despite the overall lack of sales (due to it being rather limited), you can see why Xenoblade is so beloved by many.

Anyway, like I said, I think it'd be neat if Shulk were to use his vision power to foreshadow the unlockable newcomers in the game (hopefully it includes Ridley).

And then the detractors would say, "We saw another silhouette of him, and this time it was in Shulk's trailer! He's as good as disconfirmed, like Tom Nook and Doc Louis! Playable character? Give me a break, he's a stage hazard."

I'll never understand why those people would think Dark Pit is all but confirmed to be playable, and yet Ridley is casually dismissed.

 

[WayfaringElf]

I wouldn't mind if Hades AND Ridley were announced together. They are both cunning gods of death.

With him helping Snake destroying Metal Gears at the beginning. First minute ; Snake fighting Metal Gears, then Shulk gets in ; thirty seconds later, gameplay for one minute.
Last thirty seconds, Shulk slaps the hand of Snake, and just before slapping his hand, everything becomes blue, he turns his head only to see the shadows of Ridley, King K. Rool, Ghirahim and Bandana Dee. With the former screaming, leading the villains. No music, just a silence with more meanings than an orchestra. And it ends with "Coming soon." Mind blown.

Am I stupid ? Add Mewtwo and Hades (former counting as veteran). Mach rider and Isaac not hinted but still in ; you have my dream roster.

That would be one reason for me to like Shulk's reveal

You forgot the part where he's supposed to murder Snake because Snake is as good as gone . The rest is good.



In all seriousness, I would like to see Mewtwo in with Ridley and the rest (even though he technically is a veteran). A lot of people consider Mewtwo a villain because of the movies, when in the games he isn't villain nor hero... This would also be a good way to tease Ganondorf, though I'd be fine with it just being newcomers.

 

[Zem-raj]

A villains trailer would be cool, it would have: Bowser, Ganondorf, Mewtwo (okay not technically a villain, but kinda is based on the first movie), Wario, Dedede, Wolf (if he's back), King K. Rool, and the star of the show: Ridley. All these guys go up against Mario, Link, Pikachu, Pit (no-one else I can think of against Wario, and I doubt we'd get a Kid Icarus villain), Kirby, Fox, Donkey Kong, and most importantly Samus. Sadly though, I doubt this'll happen, but if Ridley's playable, his reveal trailer must definitely have Samus in it. If it pays homage to the Brawl SSE scene (Samus and Pikachu against Ridley), that would get bonus points.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I am expecting Sakurai to pull our legs with the announcement, being someone other than Shulk, wouldn't really know who, but I strongly believe Ridley gets announced next month

 

[WayfaringElf]

Ridley makes all too much sense for august, so therefore he is revealed Monday.

 

[Deleted member]

But, what if Sakurai wants us to think that so he can make what makes sense? Agh! my head hurts

 

[Bedoop]

It's like it just shows Shulk getting summoned from an Assist Trophy in Ridley's Trailer.

 

[JohnathanACE]

Oh, so does that mean we're only getting the characters listed by Gematsu?

What a pity. We'll have to say goodbye to all the veterans. Gematsu never mentioned them, so I'm afraid they must all be cut. Rosalina as well. Though we may get one of Ness or Lucas, at least.

Don't forget there is always the possibility of secret characters on the disk that we will find out about on release and seeing as how things are going it might be our last hope for Ridley and any other newcomers/veterans we want.

 

[WayfaringElf]

That is the power of Masahiro Unpredictable.

 

[Nietona]

Awww, man. What if there IS a villains reveal trailer, akin to the ones thought of by people here, but... the trailer is cut into segments that each work on their own without having it seem like there were parts before and after it, and when you unlock them all you can view the full thing? Highly unlikely, but that'd be cool.

Maybe not as cool as individual trailers, but still!

 

[SchAlternate]

Wrong, it summons Chrom from an AT, causing the Gematsu leak to spontaneously combust.

That Would be Epic. The way I see it is like this:

The Smash logo is cut, and then goes up in flames. we start in a shadowy, metal area. the lights begin to flash on, one by one, until it reaches a large mech, which activates, and begins destroying a ton of stuff. at this point, an orchestral remix of Encounter is heard. we cut to one final light flashing on, and see Snake (Snake Kept You Waiting!) chilling up against a wall, watching the carnage, before he pulls a grenade and aims it at the mech. however, this fails, and the mech soon begins rushing towards Snake. before it can smash it's arm into Snake, however, a blue energy blade slices the arm off, and the swords user lands in the shadows. as Snake glaces at him, The God-Slaying Sword begins playing, and Shulk steps into the light, holding up the Monado (Shulk Gears up!)

Cue Montage of Shulk Gameplay. You Will Know Our Names plays in the background

at the end, Shulk and Snake shake hands, but Shulk soon gets a vision of the future, seeing the Pyrosphere, and a closeup of that hole, from which a blast of fire erupts.....

Naughty Naughty, hasn't your mother ever taught you not to trust Sakurai?

Run you fool! Run before they find you!

 

[Bedoop]

inb4 the character is just revealed at the very beginning, then just 2 minutes and 59 seconds of black screen. It's just like for one second;
"...It's Shulk."
just appears on screen as like small white text, then just black screen for the rest of the trailer.
Nailed it.

 

[WayfaringElf]

Or Sakurai is going to say at the end of the trailer: "I put out the gematsu leak myself, hush children, it is fake. You may rest peacefully now."

 

[RidleyKraid187]

Naughty Naughty, hasn't your mother ever taught you not to trust Sakurai?

it's just a hypothetical Shulk trailer. it doesn't matter when it happens (unless Ridley were to be announced before him.......)

Besides, my Mother has no clue who Sakurai is

 

[Zem-raj]

Or it could be at the beginning, 5 silhouettes appear on a mountain (Shulk, Chrom, and Chorus Men), then suddenly something fast approaches and bashes them off (you see one of those classic storm cloud things used in anime when something blasts the ground). That thing that knocked them over comes to the screen, its eyes glow yellow, and is revealed *BAM* RIDLEY: KNOCKS DOWN THE COMPETITION (literally). If only... if only...

 

[Deleted member]

Pac-Man's line was:
Pac-Man hungers for battle!
So they can use: "Ridley eats the competition!"

 

[RidleyKraid187]

Or it could be at the beginning, 6 silhouettes appear on a mountain (Shulk, Chrom, and Chorus Men), then suddenly something fast approaches and bashes them off (you see one of those classic storm cloud things used in anime when something blasts the ground). That thing that knocked them over comes to the screen, its eyes glow yellow, and is revealed *BAM* RIDLEY: KNOCKS DOWN THE COMPETITION (literally). If only... if only...

6 Silhouettes?

 

[WayfaringElf]

6 Silhouettes?

3 chorus men, half a chrom, and one and a half shulk.

 

[Deleted member]

6 Silhouettes?

Chorus Men is 3 in 1, I guess the other is Sakurai's Mii

 

[Zem-raj]

I meant 5 whoops. But you get the idea =P

Though if you put Sakurai's Mii in there, that could work

 

[Deleted member]

I find it funny that 3 avatars in a row are repitilians, wait, Ridley is a reptile, this is the Ridley thread, three reptiles, Half-Life 3 confirmed!

Hmm. Interesting. So I guess this makes four?

Four villains, Revamped Ganon, K rool, Ghirahim, and RIIIIIIDDDLLEY
