Aw, cheer up, Andrea! It's all in good fun! Sarcasm, teasing, and general lunacy can't possibly be lost across the language barrier, right?

We won't make you draw anything that you don't want to draw. We won't think any less of you as an amazing artist and Ridley supporter. Pinkie promise.

So, I'm going to attempt to redirect this thread.

Here's a very very likely fake leak:



I'm only putting this here so we can laugh at it or whatever. Just...... let's talk about it rather than Ridley's sexuality.....please.
Personally, I kinda like that leak. Who the hell is Maxwell, though? Oh, and there's no way Squirtle and Ivysaur are back.

Its definitely fake, but I wouldn't mind it being real (even though I'd rather have Lip over Duck Hunt Dog). Oh, crap, Isaac's not listed... That'd be disappointing, but most of its pretty good.

I wonder if people have considered that sometimes it's appropriate to... not post anything in this thread? I usually leave when we begin talking about shipping, genders or other irrelevant things.

You are not a true ridley threader.

I'm sorry I must be very tired, I almost thought that said Cthulhu is in Smash in some form.

I need a lye down.

Maxwell is the main character in the Scribblenauts franchise, which is owned by Warner Games and is multiplatform (well, the latest one is).
He would be a trophy like Rayman at most.

Oh yeah, him.

Too OP. He'd make Fox look like Pichu.

:/ The art image for Rids....I wish it was like the thing I was planning for my wall painting....with more detail of course...I need to get a new idea for it....
View attachment 20259
Really Old drawing....the 3rd drawing (I think) I posted when I first joined the boards....
You have some great artwork there! Looks awesome!

In the topic of Ridley design, IMO, I prefer the Super Metroid or Brawl Ridley more over the Other M version. Still haven't gotten used to that design yet, but hopefully I will.

It's good to see that this forum is still on-topic. I mean, at least you people aren't talking about Gannondorf genitalia.



Nah, but seriously. As IsmaR says "This thread is for discussing Ridley and his playability in Smash." Well we were talking about Ridley. More or less...

:) Glad you liked the really old drawing.! I prefer SM/Brawl Ridley too....but his other M design is not so bad. It is the design probably we are getting for Smash...so there's nothing we can do to change that. Unless Sakurai used the Classic Ridley as an alternate appearance.

Omega Ridley from Prime 3 is a damn good design, as well.

There's always alternate costumes. With all we as fans have fought for, we at least deserve an alternate costume for an alternate Ridley.



Well I'm off to bed. Good night all, thanks for an....interesting first day on the Smashboards. :)
Today was your first day? Well, welcome to SmashBoards! Tbh I didn't even notice you're new here, you fit in here so well!

Ah, finally a way to get our beloved leader into whatever game we want





Honestly, I can't tell the difference.

EDIT: Definitely not avatar material....

I could tell from your signature. :4falcon:
-u- Yeah...the first gif I had to make it myself, I wanted a gif of Omega Ridley so badly that I used my own laptop to record the 3D model from the logbook, and the other two, I found them somewhere, since stuff with Omega Ridley is pretty rare.

Lol @ "man" being a gender neutral word.
Conteeeeeext. If you're saying "that man did this" then it's not, but saying something like "man, that's tough" or "c'mon, man", it can be perceived as more gender-neutral.

I'm kidding, I do actually feel bad for her sometimes. Tbh I feel like sometimes people in here bog her down a little too much with all of the art requests (but the nice thing is that you guys aren't sincerely "DO THIS NAO YOU SLAVE" to her) considering that she has her own life to attend to and stuff. BUT, I'll say no more about it since she seems to be okay with it atm.

*steps off of soapbox*
This. I feel pretty bad for Andrea sometimes. Like with the group photo a while back; it was evidently stressful and it looked like maybe she didn't really want to do it because of that, but people kept asking. Since art takes time and effort too, it's more of a luxury to get free fanart like this than something we're entitled to, and we shouldn't take Andrea's art for granted, nor should we refer to her as "our art slave", even if you were joking. I think Andrea's art is fantastic, but I'd never outright tell her (or likely even ask her) to draw something because I'd feel way too out of line doing so. It ain't my right to command someone to.

Don't try to keep up, just read the page before this one and this one. That's what I always do. Unless the newest page less than 6 pages away from the one I ended on.
I've literally read every single page of this thread since a hundred pages before I joined, which I think means since... around page 850?

Well I'm off to bed. Good night all, thanks for an....interesting first day on the Smashboards. :)


Trying THIS on for size.

EDIT: Five more minutes' work...

Here goes my Ridley trailer:

We have Samus and Megaman fighting on the Peer o' speer. And then suddenly, a sillouette of . . . could it be? Chorus Kids! A purple backdrop with no splash art falls on them and Ridley's yellow eyes appear. He grabs them and throws them into the magma, Ridley makes his big enterance! gameplay

I can just see it this Monday. After Rayman's trophy being revealed the Monday of Sakurai's random newcomer, we get a similar thing for the Hyrule Warriors Direct.

"Pic of the Day: A trophy of Ridley! Lots of fans have been debating whether he'll be a boss or a playable fighter. We will answer that next Monday!"
