because the back and forth humor, and the fact we all must have at least giggled when we saw the mad Rayman saying ITS NOT A GODDAMNED SHIPPING THING. Or because Hell have no fury as a woman's wrath, I dunno
=u=u Yeah....when I get enraged I want to assassinate people with a retractable blade....um....not really.... -u-

That only happens when there is no information to discuss and if we want to ridicule toobigots, preferably in 133T to make their intellectual level look like their arguments on why Ridley can't be playable

Oh I've been lurking this thread for ages now. But i just never speak up cause im never sure what to say. :urg:
Eh, think of something Ridley related, and everyone here seems to like a good joke

I thought it was because the Ridley supporters were bored, but thanks for the information.

that would actually be pretty fun. ok let me try

Ridley can't be resized because he would look silly with his lanky figure and Ridley is most known for his large menacing size

Ridley won't get in because he would look ridiculous and wouldn't look right to Samus grab him in my opinion and my opinion is what determines the game's roster

Now that I caught up with all the posts, I would like to share my thoughts on this;

So, what evidence actually convinces you the most that Ridley is playable? I know it all combined is causing some people to go all-or-nothing (and really, it's not like there's anything to lose as we're already the Smash community punching bags), but what's the one piece of evidence that convinces you more than the others?

I don't put much stock in shadow analysis or theories, myself.

The most convincing thing for me was when Majora brought up that it made no sense for Sakurai to be hyping up Stage Hazardley, and then explained why. Also, by the way, I believe that absolutely deserves to be put into the OP, @Con0rrrr

(Here)
IMO, the one thing that makes me think Ridley is indeed playable is Palutena. Palutena has never been mentioned by name (always been mentioned as the "Goddess of Light") and has been referenced with other things (Psuedo-Palutena, Palutena statue), until she's been announced. You know who else hasn't been mentioned by name? Ridley. You know who else hasn't been shown off directly and referenced by other things? Ridley.

I'd also want to say something about "Ridley being a Boss" theory. If Ridley was indeed a boss character, why is it taking so long to reveal him as a boss character? From what I heard, during SSBB's development, Ridley was mentioned by name as a Boss when his theme was added to the Music section to reveal his theme was for Norfair. This took place fairly early in SSBB's development. If he wasn't playable, Sakurai would have mention this much sooner. The fact Sakurai hasn't said "Ridley is a Boss" as he shown off Ridley's shadow, makes me think this further. Also, why show off Yellow Devil being a stage boss with no problem, yet don't show Ridley off directly, like Yellow Devil?

My point? Taking this long just to say Ridley isn't playable, simply doesn't make sense. Not from Sakurai, not from anyone. If Chrom (in the same video mind you) can get de-confirmed when revealing Lucina and Robin, then Ridley should have gotten the same treatment with Yellow Devil.

Sry for that mini rant, got carried away.

Or fighting a mega mushroomed Samus while playing Ridley.

Oh how the tables have turned my friend.

dude.. i was planning to either do a ridleyxrayman and say exactly the very same words.. but now that you said it... it's not the same Y.Y

Regarding Ridley size, i was munching something that have been said, Sakurai saying that Ridley would need to be slow in order to not be OP in the roster, and if that would have been alright. . .

And while in a lot of games Ridley is bigger than Samus, Ridley "design wise" along other metroid bosses, is being the small but very mobile and lethal boss (Rivals kinda take that approach) (it's clear sakurai knows this) so is not part of Ridley character being big and all, is just that all metroid bosses tend to be massive, stuff that already have been said.

I know is almost a moot point with the shadow analyses and all, but how woud you take a Ridley thats almost samus size? (looking bigger only due to wingspan) that keeps that agility so charateristic of Ridley? I know the idea have grown on me a little : )

4 Ridleys with Super-Mushroom in Giant Match in the smallest stage of the game, I call it: "There is no room for you, you can't fit in"
No, the event should be "Ridley is too Big."

Chrom is by far the biggest, most expected character to get deconfirmed to date. He's the one that has hurt the most so far. Others are to come... but thankfully we know Ridley isn't one, their is too much evidence towards Ridley at this point.
