Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

I think some of the weirdest are like eyebrow and lip piercings.

Eyebow isn't weird, it's pretty common.

If you want to get into weird, there are always bridge piercings

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Tattoos are gross.

Piercings too.

Weirdos.

In some cases I agree, though I'm not one to discriminate people who wear either of those, but Ridley's one of few things that makes tattoos a cool exception, especially since it's a ZSS cosplayer wearing it.

[MelMoe]

Ridley doesn't have piercings or tattoos silly people.

Lol, this won the page, at least

I think corset piercings take the cake in weirdness.

Oh, yeah, and Ridley is cool.

I think you forgot something.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

He does lose his pinky fingers when being turned into Meta Ridley though.

Although he didn't have them in Zero Mission and had extra toes in Other M (along with not looking much like himself).

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

The Other M Ridley is NOT the same Ridley who murdered Samus's parents. Remember that.

But one would think a clone would look like the original.

Did I miss something?

[dlbpc]

That's an entirely different series, though. In Super Metroid the cloned Metroids look as they normally do.

 

[Reika Kitami]

Ridley is such a boss, and thus a boss he shall remain.

 

[Deleted member]

Ganondorf was such a boss, and thus a boss he was in Melee and Brawl.

Wait a minute....

Boss Ridley did him no justice.

 

[Reika Kitami]

Ganondorf should have been a boss.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, make one of the most recognized villains in Nintendo history a simple, easy to beat boss.

That SURELY makes sense.

 

[dlbpc]

Boss Ridley did him no justice.

You mean Dyna Blade.

 

[TheJohnMonster]

Ridley is such a boss, and thus a boss he shall remain.

Being a boss would be to do him injustice, a boss can be beaten, rather easily, if you know how.
But being a character would be to give him freedom, instead of a restricted moveset in a restricted order. You can tackle a situation in any way as a character.
Bowser was a boss, Ganondorf was a boss, heck, Donkey Kong used to be a boss. Now look at them, characters. But Donkey Kong just threw barrels.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Yer.

That's an entirely different series, though. In Super Metroid the cloned Metroids look as they normally do.

I don't think it being a different series has much to do with it. Although initially a clone of Mew, Mewtwo was still pretty altered when being created so that it would have the human traits that it does, whereas the other clones in the 1st Pokemon movie looked basically the same as the originals for the most part because they weren't altered or tampered with by scientists.

With the way the clone Ridley came to be (extracted from remnants of Ridley stuck to Samus's power suit, which hardly makes sense), I can see why it may have not been exactly the same looking as the original in the end, as opposed to if he had been cloned in a more practical way, like taking a sample of his DNA or something when he was still alive and well. That, or Ridley's final evolution is naturally more muscular and stuff at first, while it gets more skinny and scrawnier like we came to know him as as he gets older.

Boss Ridley did him no justice.

We all gave him being a boss in Smash a chance, and it really didn't, especially with the moves he was given in both forms. I actually forgot he was in Brawl until I started looking at this place and Smash-related topics again. That shows how forgettable he was in the SSE.

 

[TheJohnMonster]

Thats because he was easy to kill.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

There's some Ridley fights in the Metroid series that most consider easy, but still found them fun and memorable. His Brawl boss fights simply weren't. Only thing it had going for it was the kickass remix of his theme.

 

[Deleted member]

You mean Dyna Blade.

Yup.
It was pretty much Dyna Blade in a Ridley suit.

I did like the fight where Meta Ridley is chasing you on the falcon ship.
And i also liked the boss fight in that deep hole in Prime 3 where you are falling and fighting.
All the ridley fights are fun, but most of them arent a significant challenge.

 

[Phaazoid]

If they added dynablade then we could have a Ridley V Charizard V Dynablade V Bowser fight. on fourside. talk about a monster mash.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Hmm?

http://mynintendonews.com/2012/07/31/next-super-smash-bros-called-super-smash-bros-memories/

Likely just another rumor, but since Ridley was mentioned, just thought I'd throw that out there.

A rumor that's very likely fake. For one, they list TWO Namco characters, when I'm skeptical we'll get more than one. Also, it's unlikely the Wii U/3DS versions will be radically different.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

When I said rumor I basically meant fake, as those two words go hand-in-hand when it comes to Smash Bros more than just about anything else. I don't exactly find there being two Namco characters to be unbelievable though, and how similar or different the Wii U and 3DS versions will be from each other is still pretty much anyone's guess.

 

[TheJohnMonster]

I don't to have Ridley on the 3DS when it will cost like 400 dollars to buy WiiU and the game

 

[Reika Kitami]

I'm not looking forward to the 3DS version myself, it seems like it would be gimmicky.

 

[Phaazoid]

A hand held smash? It is like a dream come true. especially if you can use it as a controller for the Wii U variant. the possibilities are endless.

I think it would be hard to control, because you wouldn't have the same ability like a controller gives you.
I also hope they stick with the gamecube controller.

It has more buttons AND a touchscreen.
I don't even know why ask for a GC controller.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I stopped using the gamecube controller when the wii came out, so I probably couldn't use one very good if I tried

 

[Ridley_Prime]

I could, but since the GC controller probably won't happen again, I would mainly use the Wii U Pro controller as opposed to that tablet thing, especially if we're talking about controlling Ridley if he's playable because controlling someone like him with the 3DS touch screen would seem kinda weird. I would give it a chance though if he's in both versions of the game.

 

[Reika Kitami]

It's only due to being hard to control. Having more buttons doesn't mean it's easier to control at al.

 

[Mypantisgone]

I meant for the gamecube controller,you've got all the buttons a gamecube controller have (and more) so there shouldn't be a problem,and the 3DS one can still do all attacks,the touch screen would only do...eye candy?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I still use the NES controller.

I demand NES controller support for the wii-u
