Heheheh... It'll take more than a leak to stop the mighty rids. I'm more hyped than I have ever been. Partially because I like robin and Lucina, and partially because Gematsu is dead which means every newcomer, including Ridley and K Rool is fair game.

Look what I made.
Also, I'm seeing a lot of people commenting that Ridley won't be in because of the reveal...
which makes no sense

All I can gather is; "Since Ridley hasn't been revealed at this point, he's not in."

...Despite the fact we seen him(his shadow) in the game already.
I feel so bad for the brain damage people must have undergone to actually use the "If they haven't been revealed yet they will never be playable" logic, since that literally deconfirms everyone from every game.

The 47 character roster combined with Gematsu was killed by Lucina, it doesn't add up anymore. So yeah, that theory is officially dead actually, it's faulty to still believe in it, and 51 is looking the lowest we're going to get, which makes plenty of space for Ridley.
Its fun watching the rise and fall of the Warios faith in Ridley and Gematsu.

My hope for an f-zero rep as a hidden character (black shadow/deathborn plz) has also increased from 1,58% tot 7,87%.

Ridley and Black Shadow in mah smash will make me skip university XD

alright, we have 38 confirmed characters, 40 because the original 12 aren't complete yet and 42 because of Ridley and the new Zelda newcomer if the trophies were anything to rely on(which they are)

Looking solid!
What about the other yet to be confirmed veterans? :falco::ganondorf::popo::mewtwopm::roypm::warioc::lucas::metaknight::wolf::rob::gw:

You lost me

36 on the website

I won't count Ridley or Zelda yet, until on webstie.

I will count 11 from brawl though (assuming only ivy/squirt/snake cut) . that's 47.

Then with the chances of Riddles, Mew2, and others, I could easily see us hitting 51, or even higher if there are more clones.

this is gonna be a monster roster. I'm pretty hyped.

I have never felt this much hype flow through my hypetines and produce hypergy to get me hyped.

As far as I know, none of these are hinted except Wario, G&W and the fact Sakurai likes Wolf
Also, we only have 36 characters revealed so far (assuming Miis are all one single character), +2 with Ness and Jigglypuff, and +2 with Ridley and Zelda newcomer. Thus, 40 characters.

Add the 9 Brawl vets + Mewtwo and you get 50 characters.

Remember there may be unlockable newcomers.

You know what, I think Shulk will be the Ridley of Smash 4.

Huge fanbase, almost unanimous agreement that he deserves to be in, and huge outcry when he ultimately, inexplicably misses his chance.

ehh. I didn't hear too loud cries for him until gematsu. He was about as requested as takumaru, and Isaac. Decently, but not HUGE. Not Ridley huge anyways :p

A guy on Facebook is saying Ridley just doesn't seem right like a playable character cause he's scary.

Maybe that guy should hide under his bed instead of playing video games.

It's worse than you think, counting is more basic than math.

:p

show him Zero and Zero Two from Kirby
Hell, show him 02 from Kirby. That thing's a monster.

;

Like Chrom
Now THIS is apt. Chrom is the Ridley of smash 4. Was the main lord of the best selling FE ever. Two other characters from the game get in instead of him. xD

YES! SUCK IT GEMATSU! Honestly, at this point, in my eyes, Ridley 100% confirmed. No way does fire emblem get 2 (3? Does Chrom even count? Is he an alt for Lucina or sonething?) newcomers metroid still just Samus. There is no way in hell that sakurai thinks fire emblem deserves 4 reps (5?) and metroid only 2. There is no doubt in my mind that Ridley is in now to the point that I'm done arguing about it and will just wait for the inevitable reveal. SUCK. IT. GEMATSU.

Considering my country had an exam on both Basic maths and Mathmatics , meh

implying 02 and Zero Two are different

Meh, I won't go that far myself, but its practically impossible for Sakurai to give basically everyone more reps than Metroid at this point.

Was going to post earlier, but Smashboards kept crashing...
Prepare yourselves, it's a long one...
I still refuse to believe that, without a doubt, Shulk *will* be revealed tomorrow instead of another character getting a possible chance. As already mentioned, Sakurai has indeed mislead us before.
Whelp, looks like I was right about one thing...
I'm dead right now.
I'm so happy.
You and me both...
I'm still a little confused why Sakurai DID choose Lucina over Chrom. Don't get me wrong, it was the best thing ever, and I love all of it, but WHY? The best I can think is Sakurai wanted more female characters, and Lucina fits that perfectly.
In Fire Emblem: Awakening, Lucina fights exactly the same as Chrom, which is fairly identical to Marth, and on a whole, Lucina is more popular than Chrom.

Falcon VS. 3 FE characters and Gematsu

Falcon wins
Ultimate Badass.
Hey guys, I'm glad to be apart of this thread and support Ridley for a character and hope for the best for him.
Welcome and good to have you as a part of the thread! Sorry I'm a little late on the welcome though...
And thus Gematsu has been slain. Lord Ridley is pleased....
Heil Ridley!
Didn't Zammy get reveal before that thou? I can't quite remember so I might be wrong.
If I recall correctly, Zamus was revealed before the trophy, but in the same direct.
I found this
This...is a thing.
I think Ridley is definitely in most likely as a boss character but we'll see when the game releases.
Ridley is actually 100% a boss character

like bowser, and ganondorf.

Whether or not he is a stage hazard in smash or playable is yet to be seen, though.
I love it when people use exact wording. It's my favorite kind of wording.:awesome:

What sort of nonsense is this Facebook person eating? Is it the same kind as the YouToooooooooooobs peopalz?
show him Zero and Zero Two from Kirby

And Giygas!
Sweet dreams.

Whew. Finally caught up on pages too.

Well, don't I feel silly.

R.I.P. Gematsu, sorry based @ majora_787 majora_787 ...
<3

I don't think we'll see more cuts on the roster past Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Snake. Everyone else just seems to have a reason for being on the roster compared to a guest and two characters who IMO felt like they were there just to make Charizard cooler.

This isn't just a single image response because I'm justifying it with an explanation

That's true. Sakurai only closed the door on launch DLC, but did say it may be up for consideration post-release. If the roster gets even bigger through DLC I just dunno what to say. My 51 character roster estimate is starting to feel too low with Lucina now. xD

Hey, guys, I'm wondering: Do you think it would be possible to have, say, another type of Ridley as a stage boss (Omega or Meta) while the good old Rid is playable? That would shock me in a positive way.
