Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[AbioFlesh]

Captain Falcon confirmed, take that "post-release reveal".

 

[Nintendicted]

GEMATSU IS GONE!!!!!! Hopefully Ridley in August!

 

[Con0rrrr]

Okay guys I got it all together.

Chrom = Final Smash for Robin.

What does this mean?

Gematsu can be questioned and there's non gematsu characters.

What does that mean?

Ridley is playable.

 

[Xhampi]

This is the day the glorious Captain Falcon defeated the evil Gematsu leak with his mighty Falcon Punch !

 

[Deleted member]

Robin and Gematsu dead is the best thing I could ever ask "I'm no ordinary swordsmen" <--Sakurai knows how people hate them

 

[WayfaringElf]

Gematsu has been destroyed with the plasma ray from Ridley and the Falcon Punch combined.

 

[Xenorange]

GEMATSU IS DONE!!! It's finally over

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

THIS IS GREAT THIS HELPS RIDLEY EVEN MORE

ROBIN IS NOT ON THE SAL LIST AND CHROM DECONFIRMED AND LUCINA IS IN.

IN YOUR FACE 47 ROSTER GUYS.

 

[Lanog20]

Part of me is almost really sad Gematsu is dead... I really wanted Chorus Men ;-; BUT RIDLEY IS ON HIS WAY SO WHO CARES?!?!

 

[Snagrio]

I for one am looking forward to Ridley's Smash update response gif. One of the best parts of this thread.

 

[Deleted member]

I guess the roster may be 54 how some people thought

 

[hotcrumpets]

Ridley confirmed in my eyes, Gematsu is finally dead. I regret ever believing that bs Can not wait so see what the "leaker" says. I am so happy right now

 

[Phaazoid]

Honestly killing gematsu is the second best thing they could have done.

and Robin? I'm ecstatic

And I can still keep my hope for Riddles

 

[Iddis]

And Lucina has cut down the Gematsu Leak (as portrayed by Luigi) Also this helps so many characters out! Ridley in August here we come.

 

[Deleted member]

Guys, July 16th is my birthday! Dead Gematsu, HD Falcon Punch and Robin are the best thing I could ask from Sakurai! I'm really sure that Ridley is playable now and the roster may be bigger than we thought

 

[WayfaringElf]

Guys, Sal just has outdated information. You need to just get over it, it's the final roster. No Ridley for you.

 

[lilt]

Finally got my main back, good old Falcon. I'm so happy :').
Gematsu-Leak was wrong. HURRAY!

 

[Yoshi-Thomas]

I change my mind. Forget everything I said until now. Today makes me see the light. I was a Robin supporter at the very beginning, then came the Gematsu leak that brought me to the shadows. Thinking it was 100% accurate.
Now that today has come, the character I wanted from the start finally came. And now I think Ridley is in despit all the things I said before.
Ridley for sm4sh.

 

[The King of Skulls]

Does no one find it deliciously ironic that Chrom was already defeated before the trailer started? Surely I'm not the only one?

Welcome aboard! Glad to see the change of mind.

 

[Nietona]

Man, I was elated as hell the moment I saw Robin pull the hood. Mainly because it confirmed that it wasn't Shulk, and whereas I kinda want Shulk (not because I know anything about Xenoblade, he just looks like he'd be cool), I'm just chuffed as bloody chips that Sakurai ran Gematsu through with the blade of Lucina.

I find it gut-bustingly hilarious that people are still trying to defend Gematsu after that trailer.

 

[Terrazi Terrajin]

Leak debunked, RIDLEY SPECULATION CAN ONCE AGAIN COMMENCE, FULL STEAM AHEAD!

 

[hotcrumpets]

I am so happy right now, Robin, Lucina, No Chrom, and Gematsu is dead.

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

Yep, so much info dropped on us, so much backlash on "leaked" info now. Will have to see whats next under Sakurai's sleeve.

As much as Chrom being a character would have been ok, I'm glad Lucina got her time to shine. (Yay, more females ^^)

As for Ridds, I hope he gets confirmed soon enough, as we're closing in on new characters.

Welcome, dron't drink the water.

 

[Iddis]

On a side note, a lot of mixed views on miiverse, my favorites being Ridley related ones just asking where Ridley was then on the other side how the Gematsu Leak is some how still alive and true, because, and I quote "It's possible that the person who received the leak thought of Lucina as Chrom or that Sakurai just changed production to make a Marth Clone" and supposedly us Ridley supporters grasp for straws, lol

Edit: I think we are all over looking the fact that that video is only 2:52 we need 8 more seconds of awesomeness! lol

 

[CrypticSpark]

This story shall be passed down generations, as the day the Sal/Gematsu leak was defeated.

Still annoyed the big reveal was a Fire Emblem rep, but I guess we got 2 new characters (including a gender swap for one), as well as Captain Falcon Confirmed to be back (which wasn't that big of a surprise).

 

[yosharioIII]

THEY HANDLED IT SO WELL. I mean if they're gonna pick an FE character, Robin for uniqueness, Lucina for a costume/clone?, and Chrom for the final smash! THEY GOT ALL THE POSSIBLE NEW FE CHARS IN. And in doing that, kicked Gematsu in the nads, and opened the floods gates for possibly Ridley, and many others. FANTASTIC.

 

[ultimatekoopa]

GEMATSU IS DEAD, GEMATSU IS DEAD, IT IS BACK ON THE TRASH CAN WHERE IT BELONGS, HAHAHAHA, Chrom confirmed to be part of Robin's final smash, Lucina and Robin are newcomers, Captain Falcon confirmed, the 47 characters theory is crap now

This makes me even more confident about Sakurai's decision's and about Ridley, King K Rool and Mewtwo, oh and a zelda newcomer, this makes me less confident about Shulk though, but anyways, this makes me wonder a few things
-If Captain Falcon was inmediately confirmed, then, Why wasn't Mr Game and Watch confirmed too in the e3?
-There is a photo of Captain Falcon on the blue falcon with an arwing following him, Is that part of the opening?
- The biggest question is the leak, Does this mean that the 2nd part of the leak was made up?

 

[AustarusIV]

Guys, I think I can say that Ridley is all but confirmed to be playable at this point.

This is seriously the best day ever right now.

 

[Exegguter]

Isn't Lucina just a pallette swap of Marth?

She has no artposter like all newcommers do. Her square isn't as big as robin's and she has the EXACT same moves as Marth.

Which means that FE takes 3 character slots:
- Ike
- Marth/Lucina
- Robin

Which means MORE characters and more Ridleychance <333333333333333

 

[WayfaringElf]

We need to celebrate this victory of the greatest enemy of our time, even more so than toobigots. (This reminds me of how Sauron was defeated before Saruman)

 

[Nintendicted]

Gematsu dying makes me happier than any other possible outcome. Except for, of course, Ridley. Now, all we have to do is wait for August (hopefully the 6th, my birthday.) And also, I can be excited for Shulk again! Now that Shulk being confirmed wouldn't help Gematsu, I can be happy if he's confirmed!One thing I'm confused about though, is Lucina a palette swap costume or a clone? Only time will tell...

No, Lucina is her own separate character.

 

[Deleted member]

I can be surprised again! And I thought I was surprised with Mega Man and Greninja, Robin was my #2 after Wonder-Red deconfirmation, but I thought he had no chance because Gematsu

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

No, Lucina is her own separate character.

As much as I would like to believe that entirely, It seems weird she would be counted as separate character yet isn't given a Newcomer slot appose to a veteran-like slot. But will see.

 

[TheWozny]

So... 1 unique FE rep, 1 Marth clone, Captain Falcon, Chrom as a final smash, and more Pyrosphere without Ridley...
Can somebody say Gematsu Deconfirmed?

 

[Trigger123]

I can't lie I though Robin looked pretty boring and Lucina better be a costume cause she looked identical to marths moveset.
As for Ridley I'm expecting him in August, and still hoping for over 50 characters.

 

[Phaazoid]

Falcon VS. 3 FE characters and Gematsu

Falcon wins

 

[hotcrumpets]

Also the trophy theory just gained a whole bunch of credibility, I am pretty sure that Robin and Lucina are connected to Tiki in FE:A right? At least more than Chrom.

 

[Exegguter]

No, Lucina is her own separate character.

Proof? Counterarguments against my arguments? She's a newcommer that's for sure and she might have her own classic-mode ending etc. But I'd figured she's the same as Kuma/Panda in Tekken. I really think she's sharing the same slot as Marth.
