Hey, I exist too...

Also, that looks pretty neat! Though her head is a bit squished, and her chest are is a bit wonky.


Ridley is not even a Spanish word.

I can confirm it, I come from a Spanish speaking country.

[Sorry for ruining your joke] [Actually, I'm not sorry at all]
For a long time, I actually thought you were from France, after looking at your location. 0_o

But yeah, Ridley is an English name, not a Spanish name. I've always wondered what the in-universe explanation was for his given name.

Ridley's parents were huge fans of Alien.

Geoform 187, Codename: Ridley. It's a codename given by the Space Pirates.

The only reason I'm considering Mac is because tons of people are saying that :4littlemac: = :roymelee:.
And I love me some Melee Roy, plus my SSF2 style is just "Stay on the ground, FAir when needed". (Never played PM, though. :I)
Back on Topic, we need some Ridlamigo Art.
@ AndreaAC AndreaAC we need some Mexican Ridley/Ridlamigo.
Get on it. :3
To be fair...I don't like the use of the Mexican stereotype (since I'm mexican myself....) but nah, is no big deal...

> Is in the Ridley Support Thread
>Asks if Thread Regulars are going to main Ridley

Oh you...
I regular the Ridley thread because I fully believe he's playable, not because he's one of my most wanted characters or I am a diehard Ridley fan. I want Ridley in the game, and I think he should be in the game, plus he looks cool. I probably wouldn't main him, though, I'd stick to Marth/Lucina (only because Lucina is so similar), Robin, Sonic, as well as potential newcomers K. Rool, Isaac, and Dixie Kong. If Ridley is in and I like his play style I might play as him a lot.

...I actually haven't given very much thought on whether I'm going to main Ridley. I like playing as characters with a high learning curve (with the added bonus of being floaty), so if Ridley fulfills my expected requirements for being one of my mains, I would be glad to add him into the group.

During the Brawl speculation days, I strongly supported the inclusion of Diddy Kong and King Dedede. But when the game was released, I rarely played as them, because they didn't seem to appeal to my playstyle.

My power went out. It was pretty spooky. I think I'm being haunted by the stupidity of people who think Metroid is literally 100% about Samus being alone, and NOT "Samus being alone to confront her enemies", which is a thing that would be perfectly summarized by Samus and Ridley being the only Metroid characters on the roster.

I guess all of these mysteriously bizarre people all played some crack hacks of every Metroid game in which every enemy was edited out? That's something.

I understand that sentiment, I did not advocate for Diddy or Dedede, per se; however, they were among my favorite Nintendo characters until Brawl. Their play-styles and designs turned me off from their characters. So I could see something similar happening to Ridley if Sakurai does not manage to recreate a "faithful" move-set.

Plot twist: prints as a poster and hangs it up all over town. Good job though, that didn't take very long.
-u- thanks glad you liked the quick doodle....and....

"DON'T YOU DARE TO DO THAT...IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE....."
You probably don't know this concept of mine...it is my Catrin Ridley.....a version of Ridley based on a mexican tradition called "Day of the Dead" (Dia de Muertos), he can steal your soul....

-__- don't use him either...

I lost mine one time for 24 hours. Kinda annoying since 3g stopped working.

But seriously, you should calm down next time (let's be honest you do have faith for him to be playable, don't you? So, what others says won't change that).

Next newcomer to be revealed will be getting a Paint.NET Photoshop attempt of them with Ridley's head.
If it's Ridley, then Ridley with 2 heads.

However, Ridley is consistently large (larger than every single member of the current Smash roster, this includes Bowser) despite the notion that he has no "canonical" size. I am certain that that was what he was alluding to, and for the most part, it is indeed objective fact.
Correct. However, Bowser has also in some cases been larger then Ridley (this is taking into account Smash Bros. scale of Mario and Samus). Some few examples include Sunshine, Galaxy 2, and new Super Mario Bros. U.

It is true that Ridley is consistently objectively larger then Samus and most of the Smash cast. However, to present the opinion that Ridley's portrayed size in some of the Metroid games would prove problematic for his inclusion, and yet ignore a clear example of a character whom had already possessed these same problems and still made it onto the roster screams to be a huge double standard to me. Why does Ridley's size arbitrarily pertain to him, when it didn't for Bowser?

Uh on topic, uhh....Sooo are any of you going to main Ridley by chance? I know I am.
Most likely not. I generally prefer faster, speedier characters (with exceptions of course, like Peach). That may be simplifying it a bit too much (since it ultimately comes down to if I like how the character "feels" while playing) but there is a very good chance that I wouldn't main Ridley, assuming he's slow and his attacks "feel" heavy with a lot of lag.

But then again, if he has a good aerial game (like Peach) then it may be possible that I would use him.

Well I just came to stop by after discussing the miahstorm leak for a couple hours.

All I gotta say is we may have something on our hands. We'll have to look for Bandanna Dee at Comic-Con. Not calling it real, but I believe it more than most.
Yeah I have been lurking there for a little, all I have to say is, If Ridley AND King K Rool are playable, they can add Wii fit trainers pillow for all I care.

Not a detractor (c'mon you've seen me around here) but:

Galaxy 2 - Due to absorbed Grand Star

NSBMU - Due to Kamek's magic (Unless you're referencing the regular Bowser, then yes.)

Sunshine - I don't know, never played it...

lol is that what it is? Never played the game, ok well that thing :p


Edit: after reading a few post about maining Ridley, I kinda feel obligated to play him now after all this ranting and supporting of him, I usually get used to any playstyle for a character I like.

I just noticed something.
If Shulk is playable...
And the Monado can't hurt Humans (atleast, from what I've heard)...
The "Legendary" Monado is the equivelant of Lucas' Side Smash, unless used against Mega Man.
Which is funny. XD
In other words, what do you think Ridley would look like in a Screen-Smash KO? Y'know, when they smack against the screen after they got ded.

That works, as does almost every regular NSMB appearence.

I assumed he was referring to these large Bowsers:





Whereas he's under the effects of some sort of size inducer in these three games. I was trying to point out that there are better games to cite.

Honestly I'm still not entirely convinced Ridley is in. I'm in this odd realm of Ridley being my absolute 100% most wanted smash character, yet still saying it's more likely that he won't be in. By god though I hope I'm wrong.

If he IS in I want so bad for someone to change this gif


Into a gif of Ridley. I would love them forever and ever.

Off-topic post completely, though when has Smash cared about canon when it comes to power levels? A simple villager would not normally be able to megaton punch a goddess.
Not to mention...
Later versions of the Monado CAN hurt humans.

The screen cracks and Ridley grabs the person closest to the TV. Then he eats them (regenerating all his health) and he flies back into battle.

Ah, that makes sense now. XD
Also yeah, Smash Bros Logic. (Also it is ADORABLE seeing Villager just flail his arms trying to use his Jab. XD)
Back on topic, what do you think Shokio's reaction video to Ridley's trailer will be? XD

We need a nickname for Mexican Ridley
Ridlamigo.
RIDLAMIGO IS THE MEXICAN RIDLEY.
Personally I prefer RidLudicolo.

That said, more than a few of us as Hispanic/Latino, so easy with stereotypes.


Searched Ridley with a sombrero... Hugely disappointing...
Completely disregarding the above, have some Sombrerotroid.

I doubt he will be that surprised as he has become more open to the notion over time.

Am I the only person who finds metroids cute?
I mean, they can look like this...

But then people draw them like this:
And the "biggest threat to the galaxy" looks simply adorable
EDIT: fixed a tyop and a broken image

I agree, broken images certainly are gross.
