Guys, I found a TON of Ridley supporters on miiverse! This one guy said THANK GOD MIIVERSE IS OPENING THEIR EYES AND SEE RIDLEY IS TOO BIG! I send 2nd post, his counterargument: What if I wanted Kraid or Mother Brain playable and they were as popular as Ridley, and after he quotes 1/3 of that interview, I tell him Ridley is usually fast in his boss fights. 'then why did Sakurai say he would be slow?' and after I use Sonic's lack of moves with above decent knockback he yells 'Sonic is powerful! He does lots of damage' And yes, tons of people still think Ridley has a chance, so faith in miiverse is slightly restored

Is using an alien related avatar count for Metroid Month?

Welcome to august the month of metroid

With any luck there will be a second or third direct pointed at smash bros so ridleys in it

Or the second newcomer announce on no direct and no special event what so ever.

Well that's definitely Kha'Zix.

But it's a purple alien. Purple OP.

sure

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

I don't understand about it no potd thing we got it can someone explain

(To point out what i mean its when @SchAlternate said THE PLOT THIKENS.)

 

[ddd87]

Like, the translator just forgot to write "Pic of the Day", or Sakurai did. That's all there is.

I think he meant that, since we have entered Metroid month aswell as the "picture of the day" tag missing on the picture posted, we could get another picture that might or might not have something to do with Metroid.

I'm just waiting for that one tacky PotD where Ridley is under the effect of a Super Mushroom and towering over Samus, and Sakurai says something about size.



Or maybe have Samus towering over Ridley while Sakurai says that size doesn't matter...

 

[MasterOfKnees]

It's not the first time he hasn't said "Pic of the Day" at the beginning of his post, there was one other post where people had quite a bit of fun with it, I remember it being in one of the Week In Reviews.

Even then I don't think it relates to Ridley in the slightest.

That'll probably happen after Ridley is revealed.

Yes please.

wait, what?

you said you found a ton of support for ridley, then proceed to describe typical detractor behavior.

...did you take a hit on the head, or something, ryuga?

 

[Zem-raj]

I wouldn't read too much into this to be honest. Since there's more than 1 picture in the update, and more text than usual, I don't think it matters if that phrase isn't included. I really don't think there'll be any other post today, and if there was it would probably mention about Tuesday 5th August (which I doubt there will be any more posts for today).

Or, even better, if Ridley's playable: On his page for the SSB4 website, there could be screenshot of a tiny Ridley (due to poison mushroom) fighting against Pikmin & Olimar, the smallest Nintendo characters on the roster. That would most certainly make me laugh so much, to the point where my sides go into pain from said laughter.

 

[Phaazoid]

Or best yet, Ridley's character banner takes up three full rows

Why miiverse...why ._.

 

[AustarusIV]

No one even remembers Anthony.

Anyways, Metroid month, Metroid avatar then~

I'm still feeling the hype from Robin's confirmation, so I will still keep my avatar of her for the time being. But if Ridley's confirmed, you know what I will do.

Little Birdie is more like something you eat instead of something to fight.

Why not just have an avatar with both female Robin and Ridley? That way you can have them both :3

If only it wasn't so hard to find fanart of Robin, I would probably be using a picture of her as my avatar as well. Nice avatar, by the way.

has anyone bothered to analyze the trophies from the E3 presentation? maybe we can spot something interesting from metroid or...
Edit: i found nothing :0

If you mean from the SSB Direct, it has been done and dusted several times.

Tiki (Fire Emblem series) = Robin and Lucina (Tiki is in FE: Awakening, and ID - Purpose theme plays, which is Robin/Avatar's theme) - confirmed via SSB4 site video.
Fi (Legend of Zelda series) = Possibly Ghirahim (Due to Fi being from LoZ: Skyward Sword, and Ballad of the Goddess Arranged[?] theme played supposedly includes part of Ghirahim's theme) - to be confirmed.
Pseudo Palutena = Palutena (Pretty obvious) - confirmed via E3 Digital Event.
King Kihunter = Ridley (King Kihunter is in Metroid Other M, Ridley as that small white creature feeds from that boss' remains, vs Ridley theme plays) - to be confirmed.

2/4 have had newcomers revealed. If Ghirahim somehow gets revealed for SSB4 in Tuesday's Hyrule Warriors Direct, then this definitely boosts Ridley's chances, etc.

 

[AndreaAC]

......It's too early in the morning for me to draw....

...I would....but I suck at drawing anime like characters......

Note to self, list that there were 7 people saying Ridley is possible with me against 1 stupid detractor, it will save lives!

I don't think he was referring to the Smash Direct. Btw, there are more correlations between Fi's trophy and Ghirahim than the ones you listed.

For example,

Spoiler

Both Fi and Ghirahim are swords/spirit swords, being counterparts to each other. Fi is the Master Sword, while Ghirahim is Demise's sword

Finished my Comic Workshop drawing! I'm incredibly pleased with how this turned out. I took some liberties in some areas because I didn't always have a reference but I think I did well.

Andrea has competition it seems when it comes to Ridley drawings, you two would make a lovely Ridley picture!....You thought I was gonna say couple? Shipping is only fun with fictional characters

 

[ddd87]

Ah, SmashGAF once again not knowing the Metroid series has been far more successful than other well repped franchises on Smash...

 

[iiPandie]

Oh wow, first comment ever on this site. xD Anyways this is one of my most wanted characters in the new Smash, (Besides Natasia but we know that will never happen ) I'm also a big believer on the trophy quiz theory, and with the new Legend Of Zelda direct we might just get a surprise newcomer from LOZ. And if it's someone related to Fi then woot...sadly I wouldn't know since I don't play LOZ. xDDD But Ridley would be an awesome addition nonetheless and a new Metroid 3ds stage wouldn't hurt either.

Let me guess, the say F zero characters are more likely then Ridley or something

I do not want to compete with nobody, I do what can now since I am a traditional artist.....maybe moving to digital later....and yeah, his drawing is pretty awesome and the shading is lovely!.....Ok....back to draw Ridley stuff....
