There's something I need to point out guys. Assuming Ridley is not playable (please just stay with me for a moment), than I think it is still possible for him to move as slowly as he did in the direct because considering this game is running at 1080p, 60 FPS, with up to 4 players, Ridley constantly attacking could possibly cause some lag I would think. Plus, it should also be possible to play Pyrosphere online in For Friends so a dummied-down Ridley would probably be the only way to not make to much lag. Finally, if you're offline than you can also add in a 5th character as an amiibo. I honestly don't think the Wii U could handle all this at once.

So basically, what I'm trying to say is that the I believe that if Ridley is a boss than his movements seem reasonable.
I wouldn't call that reasonable, because its not representative of his Metroid boss battles. That was also the reason why Ridley in Brawl was so disappointing: it wasn't Ridley.

Actually, I'm getting an idea now. Didn't Sakurai show off Samurai something (that fat dude whose katana skill doesnt extend beyond flailing it about like a stick) compared to other fighters? Is it possible to...compare the FPS of Ridley to the assist trophies? Assuming that bosses are also 30 FPS. Probably not. Ech.

I don't know if I'd call it cruel as much as "don't get ahead of yourself". So many people were declaring that Chrom was in, and getting verbally nasty when told otherwise.
Never knew the Chrom fanboys were acting that rude! I think it was well deserved if they trult got verbally nasty!
He only had a big fanbase probably because people expected him since he was the main character in Awakening so therefore people just got hyped from the start. He was aware of that, but he didn't want another sword user like Marth. Like he said Lucina was lucky she got in the game. In Japan I heard that the next popular was Robin followed up by Tharja and Lucina.
I figured that Chrom was already requested a lot before the Gematsu leak

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's obvious as such, but it's pretty darn suspicious.

I mean why do the other characters have one rule and one method, and Ridley has another?

If Sakurai wanted to be clear about Ridley, he should have just gone straight to the point about his role, not throw subtle/tease things.

Teasing something for a non-playable role is rather counter-productive, especially in a long period of time.

Other non-playable characters, especially Chrom, didn't get the same treatment.

Sure Yellow Devil was teased at E3 2013, but it wasn't as if:

a) People expected it in the game.

b) People wanted it playable.

c) It wasn't unmentioned for months after its reveal.

Plus it wasn't absent from the demos in E3 2014, regardless of whether it was completed or unfinished.

The only character that has even been close to having so much teasing is Palutena, and she's playable. It just seems odd...
Not to mention on the yellow devil part, as so many people forget to mention, we didn't see an ambiguos shadow of yd that could be a boss or playable, we saw full gameplay footage in which he was clearly not a playable character.

Your right he was requested, but I don't think the gematsu leak has to do anything with it. When it comes to Fire Emblem, I think Sakurai turned to the Japan audience rather than anywhere else because it's bigger there than it is here. He had the roster done before he started devlopment, so people had expectations.

Yeah. I was trying to tell them not to get so far ahead of themselves, and that I found it extremely unlikely that Sakurai would add him given that he was just another sword user with nothing else to offer. And I got flamed to high heaven. Only for Sakurai to say the exact same thing.

I think you mean Samurai Goroh



Also people thought players shipping was bad, I think I found some sort of Roidley and K. Rool hybrid

If Ridley is Mexican, and Andrea has the tendancy to kill people here...THEY MUST BE THE SAME!O.O ANDREA FOR SMASH!
Edit: IT ALSO EXPLAINS HER HOSTILITY TO ROIDLEY!

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

I'm Ridley's loyal employee.....and my hostility over Roidley has lowered a bit.....but still.

-u- And the killing part....hehe....it started thanks to @The Soulless One who started pissing me off with the "Raydley" thing....

with all of this evidence piling up that supports ridley being playable, i just can not believe there are still people who refuse to consider the idea he could be playable, it is seriously insane.

i've been wanting ridley in for so long, and after seeing all the evidence people have gathered together, i am completely convinced he is playable in this game.

as mentioned before, it would be an incredibly foolish move for sakurai to be hyping up a character who is so badly desired, only to crush so many people's hopes.

i also do not see why sakurai would hold off too much longer on ridley's reveal... august is the metroid anniversary, right?

not only that, but the game comes out in japan mid-september on the 3DS... would he REALLY want such a hyped-up character to be revealed in such a non-glorious, boring way... by some random person who manages to get the game a little early?

he HAS to reveal ridley sometime in august at the latest.

Yes, Samurai Lardbelly. That's what he is called. sorry
Either way, has anything been said about the FPS of the bosses?

Pretty sure they move at the same speed as PCs.

Otherwise, Ridley would've been confirmed/deconfirmed a long time ago.
Well, I haven't seen anyone bring it up yet, so I thought "hey maybe i found something, someone do the dirty work for me so that i can steal your credit".
But if they are at same frame speed then nevermind.

Do you mean the picture you have as a spoiler? If so that is Kuff 'n' Klout from Donkey Kong Country 3. Also have I missed anything new Ridley related? I went to A Fallout Boy Concert yesterday and was gone all day and missed a lot of pages, haha

Annnd my power went out a second time. :Y And didn't come back. That was super.

And I think NPCs only move at 30fps on the 3DS version because of mechanical limitations.

Yeah, I have a hard time imagining that the Wii U isn't powerful enough to churn out 60 fps for minor background elements.

Everyone says the Ridley clip was edited but can someone look at the embers in the background? If it's edited they'd jump around rather than floating upwards consistently.

I want Ridley as much as anyone else but we gotta be truthful with the evidence. Anyone see any signs of tampering?

Sorry, forgot to clarify.

One guy apparently said that Ridley comes in from the background or something, the angle of his shadow indicates he's off the playable field.

I can't see it, though.
Lighting physics are consistent, appear to stay in the same y-plane at all times.

As a Ridley supporter, I would not be afraid to call Sakurai blatantly incompetent as a game-developer. However, my faith in Ridley as a playable character in the Smash series would remain. I would advocate for Ridley in Smash 5 where; presumably, a new and more productive creative director, a creative director with something to lose, will be in charge.
Is this a joke? Because it sounds like one. Sakurai is a great game developer; he created Smash, didn't he? You think he's bad at his job IF he doesn't put Ridley in? Check yourself, man. Cry some more. Ridley still has a shot, and Sakurai knows people want him, and he's been vague about him on purpose. You make it sound like Ridley's inclusion is a gamble, a make-or-break situation. He's not. There's nothing new or interesting that Ridley could bring to the table. If he's in, great. He's an important villain. If he's not, we say "oh, well. That sucks." and move on. Grow up.

From GameFAQs.

Figure it out or something. You guys always do.

EDIT: Oh, right, anyway, some guy said that Ridley's shadow indicates that he's off the playable field.
I think that I can see the lump, along with tail. Except the tail only looks like Pikachu's because the shadows are warped by the terrain, giving it a jagged appearance.
I doubt that he really grabbed Pikachu, too high off the ground for that. Don't think there is any tampering, but it irks me to no end that Pikachu has no shadow.
It looks as if Ridley comes in from the background, but that is due to bendy shadows. I am pretty sure Ridley is flying straight.

It was not a joke, it was my subjective opinion. I comprehend that it is very rare that one meets another with a different opinion, this may be your first encounter, but it will most certainly not be the last. I suppose we both have some "growing up" to do. However, do not fret! Let this serve as an experience that you can learn from, it is understandable that one as young as yourself would not understand that finer points of differing opinions as the world revolves around your narcissim. I will do as you advised and "check myself" after I am done wiping this tear from my cheek.

First of all, I wholeheartedly expect Ridley to be included in the roster. In fact, I seem to be one of the only people here that is one hundred percent confident with that assertion in this thread. Therefore, this makes the notion that I find Sakurai to be a repugnant game-developer entirely negligible. I would also like to make it apparent that Ridley is not even one of my favorite Nintendo characters, he is just a character that I would like to see in Smash as there is logic that supports his addition. So I am not necessarily adhering to confirmation bias. Secondly, I would indeed find him to be blatantly incompetent as a creative director if he could not discern how to re-scale Ridley. It is not the sentiment that Ridley is not in the game that enables me to labor an overt disdain, it is the sentiment that Sakurai; in this HYPOTHETICAL scenario, would cite his size as the predominant reason for Ridley's non-inclusion.

I did not make it sound as though Ridley's chance is a gamble. It is not. He is most absolutely in the game and I am not afraid to proclaim such as objective fact. Albeit, there is no evidence to support this perspective. That is not entirely relevant as it is utterly arbitrary to state something such as that in the first place.

There's nothing new or interesting that Ridley could bring to the table.

This claim is completely unreasonable. Just look at posts from lots of people in this very thread! It's been commonly theorized that Ridley could be unique in that he'd be pretty much the opposite of Little Mac: weak on the ground, amazing in the air. I don't recall there being any other character like that, in fact I even mave a moveset from the very first post in this thread to back this up!
[collapse=Moveset]This is how I see Ridley, by the way (FOR THE MOST PART HUSH ABOUT THE WINGS):


Attributes – Ridley is a large character, nearly the size of Bowser. However, his scrawny frame, useful for flying, keeps him from being as heavy. In fact, I’d say he could be as light as Wolf (the 14th heaviest character in Brawl) but no heavier than R.O.B. (10th heaviest character). His ground speed would be pretty good (Charizard (7th fastest) to Donkey Kong (9th) range). His aerial maneuverability in general would be among the top, probably similar to Yoshi. He can also jump five times. He can glide, but not wall cling, wall jump, or crawl.

Playstyle concept – I see Ridley as awkward on the ground, but amazing in the air. Jigglypuff’s king, if you will. His ground game in general would be damaging, and focus on sending opponents upward, but hard or risky to connect most of the time. In the air though, all of his moves are useful and quick, as well as being capable of comboing. Ridley’s aerial potential is why I say he should not be a heavyweight, as that may make him broken.

Entrance – A pair of glowing eyes appear out of nowhere. Ridley gives out loud roar as the rest of his body fades into visibility.

A – Quickly swipes with left hand claws. Fixed knockback. 4%-2%
AA – Follows up with right hand claws. Fixed knockback. 3%
AAA – Follows up with a quick bite. All together relatively good damage. 5%
Dash – Ridley spins above the ground (think Falco’s F-air) to lightly knock opponents upward. 10%-7%

F-tilt – Extends neck to bite. Awkward to connect due to the length of his neck. Could very well miss an opponent that is too close. Good damage and horizontal knockback to compensate. 12%-9%
U-tilt – Quickly puts his head down and lifts it upward over his body in an arcing motion. Flips opponents up into the air with fixed knockback. Naturally combos into U-smash. Does not hit behind him. 11%-8%
D-tilt – Sweeps the ground in front of him with his tail. One of his faster ground attacks and can trip opponents. 9%-5%

F-smash – Winds up his tail while charging, then stabs straight forward. Sweetspot at the tip which can KO. Awkward to connect like his F-tilt. Good damage and a bit of ending lag. 17-15%
U-smash – Breathes a single large burst of fire upward. Combos with U-tilt. Good damage and knockback. Does not hit to either side of him. 16%-14%
D-smash – Lowers himself and spins around once. While spinning he extends his tail outward and breathes fire. The fire does not have much knockback, but may be followed up by the tail at lower percentages. The tail is mainly what you want to hit with. It sends opponents up into the air. His slowest ground attack. This move recalls an attack from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Tail: 9%, Fire: 6%

N-air – Spins his tail around his body (clockwise when facing to the left). Think Meta Knight, Wolf, etc. Tip knocks opponents outward, while non-tip hits knock opponents at the angle they were hit. Combo potential. Mostly just gets opponents off you. Sweetspot: 13%, Sourspot: 7%
F-air – Stabs tail forward quickly. Already a good KO move, but a sweetspotted tip makes it even more so. Tipper: 18%, Non-Tipper: 12%
B-air – Twirls his tail closely behind his body for multiple (six) hits. Similar to Yoshi’s. 2% every hit, finishing hit is 5%
D-air – Stabs his tail downward. Tip sweetspots with a meteor smash. If not sweetspotted, it causes a pogo effect similar to Link’s. Sweetspot: 14%, Sourspot: 8%
U-air – Attacks with wing spikes. Slight upward knockback. Can probably hit with it a few times if you’re moving upward, like with Meta-Knight’s. 5%

Glide attack – A strong bite. As strong as Charizard’s. 12%

Pummel – While holding opponent by their head, he breathes fire on them. Relatively slow yet damaging among pummel attacks. 4%
F-throw – While holding opponent by their head, he quickly stabs them with his tail about five times, then with a sends them flying with a stronger sixth stab. Very damaging. 2% each stab, 4% last stab
U-throw – Grabs opponents with his talons and carries them into the air while swatting them twice with his tail. He quickly descends, slamming them into the ground with all his weight. Most damaging throw due to the high vulnerability. Opponents are sent upward after being slammed. 4% each swipe, 7% on slam
D-throw – Grabs opponents in his mouth, raises them upward and brutally slams them into the ground. Very damaging. 12%
B-throw – Stabs tail into opponent while they are in his grasp. He then flings his opponent, now impaled on his tail, behind him. 8%

Special – (Fireball) – When tapping the special button, Ridley releases a spray of four fireballs. They travel a relatively short distance for a projectile, and are essentially a wall of hitboxes. They do not do much knockback or damage. When holding special, Ridley releases a single large fireball. This fireball travels a longer distance, and causes more knockback and damage. When done in the air, the large fireball travels in a downward diagonal direction. If it were to hit the ground, a small damaging shockwave comes from the impact. His special can actually be used while gliding to fire up to four shots that “bomb” the stage. These do little damage and knockback. 2% each fireball, 5% on large one, 2% on shockwave
Side Special – (Command Grab) – Ridley flies forward a distance longer than Ganondorf’s side special, but with slightly longer startup. Ridley can only do this once in the air, but he will not be put into a helpless state. If the grab connects Ridley will essentially act as though he has a second normal grab. He can pummel opponents with his tail, and opponents can also break out of the grab. On the ground, “throwing” forward or back causes Ridley to drag the opponent across the ground for a set distance, racking up damage. At the end of the animation (he cannot fall off ledges during this) he will simply toss the opponent upward. You can also simply throw the opponent upward to begin with as a sort of “U-throw” option. Unlike Bowser and Ganondorf, Ridley has wings and does not have to plummet to the ground when connecting his command grab in the air. Again, while in the air it is essentially a second grab. There are no “F-throw” and “B-throw” options in the air, but you can “U-throw” opponents upward. You can also dive-bomb while holding the opponent as a “D-throw.” This will result in a suicide if done off the stage. Same percents as normal throws.
Down Special – (Reflector) – Holding down special charges up a reflector. While charging, you are vulnerable to any attack. Once the charge is complete, you can move around freely as though you have a Franklin Badge. Ridley’s skin darkens while you have these properties, accompanied by particle effects. All together, the charge time and effect time lasts about 3.5 to 4 seconds.
Up Special – (Fly/Unfly) – This move is similar to R.O.B. and Pit’s Up Specials. It works with Ridley’s five jumps. If you were to use Fly (and Unfly) five times, Ridley could no longer jump, and vice versa if you were to jump five times, you would not be able to use Fly. Pressing down while using Fly causes Ridley to Unfly. You are not put into a helpless state. You can attack with aerials normally while Flying, as well as after Unflying. Like R.O.B.’s “fuel,” you can only Fly for a certain amount of time – 3.5 seconds.

Final Smash – Meta-Ridley Transfo—**** THAT. SPACE PIRATE RAID: The camera zooms in on Ridley as he roars to summon two Space Pirate ships. The Space Pirates hop out to attack Ridley’s opponents. Think of them as enemies from Melee’s adventure mode. They have limited methods of attack, and can be attacked and killed themselves. The problem for your opponents is that there would be so many of them to deal with. The amount would depend on the amount of players, and Ridley’s damage. There would also be different kinds of Space Pirates that hop out. Grey pirates are the simplest to kill, with only a small amount of health. Green pirates have more health, Red have even more, and Gold pirates have the most. They all attack by shooting beams (which can be fired horizontally or diagonally upward) and jumping. Gold pirates can do a jump kick which has a lot of knockback. They disappear after a set amount of time.



Not even sure I agree with all of this anymore, BUT WHATEVER. There, the post is big like Ridley. HEELS.[/collapse]
So, yeah. This point, null and void.

Bugga bugga. I'm gonna get you, Samus!

That is all.

I am not sure why this is material to the discussion, could you perhaps elaborate?
Well, if I must elaborate, I was simply pointing out the fact that I am a giant purple Space Pirate, and I have been travelling the galaxy for many a year with my crew. In all my years, I have been given a roadblock on my road to success in the form of a bounty hunter named Samus. Samus and I have fought many times, and I am most often the loser. It is quite discouraging.

However, I have been given an opportunity to face my rival and show her I mean business. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, I can face Samus and many others on the field of battle. As a show of my mettle, I uttered a battle cry and called out my rival. That is all.

I agree with this. It certainly looks like Pikachu at first glance, but Ridley's tail is in the same position as what looks like Pikachu. Combining that with the fact that Pikachu isn't casting a shadow (which is suspicious in itself that it's disabled just for this scene :p ), I think it's just Ridley's tail. If you look even closer, as Ridley's wings move down while he's idling, there's a very small window where I think you can see the tail extend past the bottom of the screen. Either that, or I'm looking too hard :awesome:

One does not simply try to cover for yourself by pretending to be the character you just claimed brought nothing new or original to the table. Simple as that.

In all my years, I have been given a roadblock on my road to success in the form of a bounty hunter named Samus. Samus and I have fought many times, and I am most often the loser. It is quite discouraging.

However, I have been given an opportunity to face my rival and show her I mean business. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, I can face Samus and many others on the field of battle. As a show of my mettle, I uttered a battle cry and called out my rival. That is all.
Ah, I see. It is some role-playing. Interesting.


This claim is completely unreasonable. Just look at posts from lots of people in this very thread! It's been commonly theorized that Ridley could be unique in that he'd be pretty much the opposite of Little Mac: weak on the ground, amazing in the air. I don't recall there being any other character like that, in fact I even mave a moveset from the very first post in this thread to back this up!

So, yeah. This point, null and void.
Any and all characters have the capacity to be unique characters, some characters have more observable move-set potential, or some ideal mechanics are more overt than others. I would honestly state that Ridley is one of the characters that can easily be made into something unique as opposed to someone such as Chrom who would be more difficult to do the same.

So are you trolling or just deluded? Because that makes no sense. What happened about explaining why you said this statement?
There's nothing new or interesting that Ridley could bring to the table
