Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Sigran101]

Ya, don't get why Sakurai choose Goku as the boss for Pryosphere

But that playable boss mode looks interesting. I can't wait to try Godzilla!

That is probably what made me sick...anime characters even being mentioned in the same sentence as Super Smash Bros. -_-

Shame Shrek is only Ridley's final smash

 

[Phaazoid]

Ugh I don't even know what's going on anymore

I know the lack of news is getting to me when I spiral back into shadow speculation

bleeeeeeajhgjhg

What? Shrek isn't Ridley's final smash. Waluigi is. Shrek is a wario clone remember? With donkey instead of a motercycle, and "Shrek waft"?

Ichigo 4 smash!

Seriously though if Ridleys in I hope he gets a unique aerial grab mechanic!

 

[NewGuy79]

It's always been a pheonix wright thread in disguise...

But this new grabbing discovery has been just as worried as I was before it, moving during a grab is unheard if right?

DK...?

EDIT: Im already like 4 pages behind, man you guys move fast

 

[Turokman5896]

DK...?

Totally forgot! I never play dk at all...

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Totally forgot! I never play dk at all...

Also Kirby and Dedede.

I know Kraid is a bit on the heavy side and not that good looking, but no need to call him Shrek

Though would be funny if Kraid was Ridley's final smash. not sure how they get along

 

[darksamus77]

I think you just confirmed that the 'Ridley for SSB4' fandom is in fact a Religion.

Do you accept our Father Ridley as your lord and savior and promise to follow in his teachings and support him for Smash 4?

His right foot has Pikachu, look at dat lightning bolt. Ridley, as awesome as he may be, does not have lightning bolts anywhere on his body.

 

[Turokman5896]

Also Kirby and Dedede.

Those are specials though, I mean grabs specifically.

Does this mean that Ridley will not have a Harry Potter alternative costume? Bu-but... that is the only reason I support him! Please?!

 

[ZeroJinKui]

was there a moveset someone

Totally forgot! I never play dk at all...

seriously? not even once?

i can not imagine playing any game and not playing as every single character ATLEAST once.

honestly, i still can not completely understand the whole "maining" thing people do... because i play as the entire roster, just choosing characters depending on how i am feeling at the moment.

usually, if i play as one character for more than a couple battles in a row... i get extremely bored.

ridley might be the exception to that rule, though...

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Eating is a type of grab!

Also, I sorta envision Ridley as having a Koopa Klaw-style grab attack.

Hyperbole bro, I've played every character at least 4-5 hours worth.
(Over years)

 

[Garteam]

Kraid is actually a pretty good idea for Ridley's final smash, if they don't go through with it, they should bring Brinstar Depths back from Melee, that music is too good to waste.

ah, well ok, then...

i stopped playing smash bros awhile back, cause my controllers got worn out to the point where it actually started affecting my skill at the games.

hopefully i wont be too rusty when i get this game.

 

[Zem-raj]

What...
What happened... to this thread...
I'm confused...

Yea, I've played pretty steadily since brawls release.

How cool would it be if kraid was pyro spheres boss?

 

[Thermithral]

Ichigo 4 smash!

The rage is real. Sakurai, is not amused. He has sent the NInjas. Or just an assassin. He is a hard one to predict. >_<

Im still hoping for the Brinstar Depths stage to return, but that is a good second option, heh.

 

[Hotfeet444]

I can see that the lack of news really is getting to some...don't worry, I have a bit of a theory.

Many were upset that Ridley wasn't talked about during E3 right? Well in a way, it kind of made sense. The newcomers shown off at the digital direct were directly related to that of the custom movesets and their potential in Smash Bros as it was the big thing Sakurai talked about during said event, hence why Pac-Man was revealed later on and not at the direct, in a way it made sense.

However, Sakurai has not gone into deep detail on the Boss hazards of Smash Bros 4, which I feel will be next month as it's the only opportunity to do so. However, to start the direct, we of course get a confirmation of a character directly correlated to said part of the game...Ridley! Ridley will be shown to be the only character who's both a playable character and boss hazard, along with a full list of boss hazards for Smash Bros 4, who could basically be anyone really. Ganondorf can be announced alongside Ridley to solidify his spot as a hardened boss character in Nintendo History much like Ridley.

If we can't get brinstar, at least give us the music!

Oh and final getsuga tensho final smash confirmed

Lightning bolt is caused by the stage warping the shadow.

I hope he isn't a boss hazard at all, if the direct footage was anything to judge by. He didn't do anything that was representative of his boss battles in the Metroid series, save for the fact that he was flying. It could've been set up, but the impressions I got from it as a boss were...disappointing.

Aren't ninjas and assassins the same thing more or less?

 

[ZeroJinKui]

i dont know much about kraid [or metroid in general], but isnt he absolutely massive?

he took up an entire background in the past... i cant imagine seeing kraid on that stage... unless just his head burst into the stage to... i dunno... roar at us or something.

then again, what do i know?

He could appear off stage and shoot projectiles or something

Ninjas are more for sabotage or information gathering and usually kill as a last resort. An assassin's primary job is to kill.

 

[Thermithral]

In action, it depends. In name though one can be a pun(Ninjas, Nintendo), and the other is not. It is all about labels.

Does anyone else think that if Kraid became a boss hazard on a stage, and acted like he does in Super Metroid, same size and all, that could be really fun?

That's what I was thinking, it would be awesome!

I suppose that's true. Most ninjas in popular media tend to focus on the combat aspects anyway. But any good assassin would use stealth to their advantage too.

It'd be interesting to say the least. Hopefully he'll be less annoying than the Yellow Devil.

 

[Ghirahilda]

We have just one Metroid stage yet, we still need at least one more on Wii U and one on 3DS. And maybe Norfair return as a stage. I want Phendrana Drifts so badly...

Phazon would be better IMO, but I can't diss phendrana.

 

[IsmaR]

 

[Turokman5896]

Ridleys great and all buuuuuut... I think Godzilla wins that round.

 

[AndreaAC]

A fight between Roidley and Godzilla I guess?

 

[BlueBubbee]

Because the 3DS stages are usually from portable games, what do you think Ridley's home stage will be (assuming it will be from a portable Metroid, I know there's a chance it won't be)?

One of his Battle Locations? Something from the most recent portable game (if 8 years is considered recent...)?

Who? You mean American/Earth Kraid?

I love seeing the Metroid Prime love, and yeah i agree a phendrana drifts stage would be amazing both cuz of scenery and music, but a phazon mines stage would be so sick cuz it could have space pirates attack you or the elite pirate can be a boss and the eerie spookiness of the mines would translate perfectly into a stage
