You know, it's a little suspicious that nobody at all has actually given a timestamp for this thing.
I'm about ready to write it off completely. I mean, I already discredited it but it's almost official now

Please document exactly when/where said playtester said this. Otherwise I'd sooner believe one of the "My dad works for Nintendo" leaks is legitimate before some social media bandwagoning off of a rumor no one else has confirmed or even humored for any reason other than trolling.
Remember the last time we took someone's word that something pretty significant was seen or mentioned by a rep on good faith?

"Nintendo rep said Dragon on Pyrosphere" is not true.

It was yet another attempt to say Ridley is deconfirmed.

Why does our fanbase have to deal with this ****

Because Ridley is the exception.

You can like or want ANY CHARACTER YOU WANT. *ANY*. Even Goku or Shrek. At least if you request those kinds of characters you're just a meme or a moron. But once you say "The R Word", you're a delusional brainless punching bag for anyone with free time and an account on a website with any sort of subset for Smash Bros.

I really hope anything good comes out of the teasing. Because it's just never going to end unless it ends well.

If the information's source isn't Sakurai or Nintendo, then you need to take it with a pinch a ferry load of a salt.

Especially if that information is posted on forums or social networking sites: the worst places on the internet for deception and trolling.

Try holding your own on MIIVERSE.
It's hard. I only did it ONCE, because the person had actual common sense.
All the other times I became a punching-bag. :(

Not to mention if it's a quote literally nobody can cite or source whatsoever, and several people who were ALSO witnessing the alleged source claim it never happened.

At least the Star Fox slip up was actually properly sourced and reuploaded.

I'm just really tired. I'm hoping for some good news next week preeetty bad right now, guys.

you know something i am interested to see ridley's head pasted onto?

pyramid head from silent hill.

the great knife should be roidley's head, and the handle could be his neck.

or we could just forget that last part... whichever looks better, i suppose.

since i cant possibly add anything to the conversation that hasnt been said a million times... i am just going to pop in to make random suggestions for ridley-related pictures people could make.

i would make some... but i am more of a destructor than a creator... i break, not make. :p

Sakurai really needs to end this soon, because.. I can't be arsed reading about Ridley memes all day long wherever I go to anything Smash related. Either this whole phase is the biggest payoff ever in Smash history or it will become the worst nightmare.

life never turns out well, afterall... not for people who deserve it, anyway.

one reason im tempted to find a way to just sleep for a week or two straight...

im kinda between being just... utterly depressed... and completely pissed off.

IMO they are mostly boss themes like Nightmare`s, Rhedogian`s and Phantoon`s...but i think not everyone thinks so or even most of those who heard them.
I can`t listen to them because Youtube is not working for me...
Were they remixes or original pieces?

What does "misogynistic" means?
Here, or are you saying that I spelt it wrong?

And i mostly care about gameplay in the games, not story or something like that. That is what makes a game...a game.
Yes, gameplay is capable of saving a game from having a story that rivals Twilight, vomit-inducing graphics, and an ear-****** soundtrack, but these qualities should not be ignored when the gameplay is average. If I were to ask any random gamer what they thought of Other M's gameplay, they'd say it's either "average" or "Too Linear!" and average doesn't make up for having a story that constantly puts down the main character, who you're playing as, btw.

What about the people who like the Metroid games that are more open? To them, this game is a bully who torments the player in every way imaginable.

Samus being made into a punching bag might not be horrible gameplay-wise, but it's like having Mario without the cartoony, innocent feel-goodness about his games, or Sonic without his attitude, or Super Smash Bros without the Nintendo. Sure, it won't (always) hurt the gameplay, but it just isn't the same. Yes, change can be good, but only when it's welcome. This doesn't make Samus better: it makes her worse. It takes away from what was there.

Removing plot from that game would not hurt it.
It would make Other M a much better game to a lot of people, tbh.

I'm tired of people crapping on Other M. Sure the way they told the story sucked and had a few questionable points, but I thought it was mostly fine. Samus had to take orders from Adam just like everyone else in the 07th Platoon. If she was going to be a part of the joint mission she was never called to be a part of in the first place, she would have to comply with Adam's orders just like the rest of the team, that is how the mission worked.

Not to mention she was rebellious towards Adam in her GF days, so maybe she saw obeying his commands as some sort of redemption, despite it being destructive or dangerous at certain points(i.e. the "Hell Run" sequence).
:)

And the Ridley scene was blown out of proportion by people. It was a bit too melodramatic. But like others have said before, who wouldn't freak out seeing someone who you presumed to be dead, let alone it being someone who's been constantly trying to kill you?
I only find it inconsistent, with little evidence holding enough weight to fully justify the freakout.

As for your question, a bounty hunter who has a giant screw-you cannon on her arm that has been used to kill said purple dinosaur from hell repeatedly.

@ FirestormNeos FirestormNeos just fyi your blue text is pretty impossible to read on the smashboards dark layout. You're post looks long and interesting but I'm not going to take the time to highlight it to read it :p

Also with the talk from earlier about ridley being high tier

can you imagine if there was a Ridley ditto in a tournament final

the twitch chat would just be a conglomeration of "too big" comments

it'd be so beautiful

Look guys, there is a dragon on the PyroSphere!



It's Charizard. Undoubtedly, there will be a dragon on the PyroSphere in some form or another, whether playable or not.
Playable Ridley can be on the PyroSphere. So can any other playable character...

Context matters. That's literally all I'm saying to this. You can say anything you want, but if you ignore context, you're just making noises with your flapping word hole.

I'm not having this argument. I'm just saying.

EDIT: Charizard is the HARDEST dragon to beat on Pyrosphere.

No, you fool. Don't you understand?! I am a fire/flying type Pokemon.

Wait for me to get a Final Smash so that you can get your dragon.

You know, this reminds me of Shokio's "CHARIZARD IS NOT A DRAGON! HE'S NOT EVEN DRAGON TYPE" horsecrap. And every time I think of that I just go "Pikachu isn't a mouse! Pikachu's not even mouse-type! He is obviously an electric!"

Bro let me show you why Ridley is confirmed already...

Will Kid Icarus most likely have more than one stage? Well most likely, yes. Now Palutena's stage is her stage of the franchise and most likely Pit will have one that corresponds more to him. Just like Pyrosphere is more of Ridley's stage, than it is Samus', I'm sure she will get a stage dedicated to her too. It's only logical why Palutena's stage is in this game, since she's playable, and why Ridley would be playable sense Pyrosphere is in this game. It all makes sense because Sakurai could have chose any other significant stage that Samus fights a boss in Metroid other M. For example, he could have chose the final boss fight room as a stage and make platforms for it, and every now and then the boss could smash its tentacles (I can't really remember what it did lol) at you. Out of all the interesting bosses in Metroid other M, why would he make Ridley out of all of them a stage hazard?

So what I am basically trying to say is that Sakurai chose Pyrosphere because it could represent both Metroid Other M as the most recent installment, and could represent Ridley as a playable newcomer and not a stage hazard.

It's fine for me, really pops on the PM Theme. Maybe try using a green? That seems pretty theme-friendly

I'm not watching a 40-minute long video. Haha.

For once, I agree with @ majora_787 majora_787 . Context matters. I'll say this: No matter how you view it, you see how Samus doesn't take sh*t from the GF in ways in Other M, but mostly during Metroid Fusion. You see a change in her that's reflected most in Fusion.

I dont know, Miiverse is pretty easy to debate on in terms of Ridley. it either results in my victory or my toobigot individuals retreat, which is also kind of a victory.

Also, why would anyone focus on a rumor started on Facebook? -_-

I got Other M on Friday, and so far I've only played the beginning. Am I the only one who sees it as semi-logical that she listens to the GF? Apparently they won't let her work alongside them if she doesn't? Don't spoil the end for me. OM or Fusion, I'm currently playing through both.

Probably because it isn't GameFAQs, Neoseeker, or anywhere else that has a bad reputation for false leaks? Eh, breath of fresh air with a Facebook leak.

Well generally speaking Samus' paycheck comes from doing what the Federation tells her to. But she isn't actually a Federation soldier during any of the games, so I could see why her suddenly stumbling into a Federation operation unannounced and asking to help would necessitate she cooperate with the person in charge.

Also yes. A facebook leak is pretty different from the average fake leak.
