What's the first thing you guys are gonna when Ridley gets confirmed.
If it happens around any regular day: Scream, maybe cry a little, run downstairs and do some sort of awkward dance maybe.

If it happens around my birthday (Aug 16): Dive out the window, run inside, scream, cry, dance. If the trailer was good I might call my irl friends who are detractors and tell them to suck my **** because Ridley was confirmed. And then I'd go get some ice cream.

Don't you ever feel that way, you hear? The group pic wasn't your fault, missed requests aren't your fault, none of it is your fault, Andrea. Don't be afraid of letting people down here, it isn't going to affect who we are or how we turn out. We're your friends, that's why we joined this thread. Sure we all may be different and have different personalities, but deep down we're all alike. Don't feel pressured to do any requests. It's your life and your drawing tool, use can use them how you want. Don't let yourself get put down, either. I've let myself been put down far beyond where I should have let it gone, and let me tell you, it isn't fun. But this isn't about me, it's about you. Now, I can't speak on behalf of everyone here, but every time you post a new drawing, I thoroughly enjoy it. They're probably my personal highlights of the thread, alongside all of the gifs and random ideas here. So thank you. Personally, i suggest you take awhile to calm down and just enjoy the thread. A temporary leave of absence from all of the requests, if you will. Stop and sniff the roses, as they say. <insert other semi-inspirational saying here>. Don't pressure yourself.

I know that wasn't worded well, because I am a horrible writer, but I'm trying to cheer you up. Somehow.


There was going to be more to this but I forgot it as I was writing the first part...
Damn straight. You never want to feel like that, confidence is key. It's always tough to admit when you can't fulfill something, but it's also fine to fail. Failure is how we learn. I'd also like to reinforce that we're all friends, and we've all gathered here for one common interest and that interest is Ridley. If you feel overwhelmed just let someone know that you are; well understand. I would love to type more, but grammatical errors flow forth from my phone keyboard, so for now; take blues advice.

Also that Ridley art is super hype: that would be an amazing alt skin!

Hey it's cool, don't push yourself to the point of being uncomfortable! Just do your best, Lord knows your arts already damn good...
=u= Thank you....but my perfectionist mind makes me not feel satisfied with my own work.....and sometimes I push myself way too hard...or sometimes I think I don't, to later break myself.

Hey, hear that bird? *shoots as you look and walks away*
:troll:

View attachment 20274 Lesbianism canon in Nintendo.
The closest thing to that (at least in Metroid) was Gandrayda's attitude toward Samus, or the implications that could be made from it anyway.

I'm so sorry....but...don't you ever give me an art request again....I feel too upset to even listen, I know you are joking but I'm not in the mood for jokes...I did what I can for now...
For the record, who was this directed at? Forgot to comment on it earlier but I'm sorry others have been endlessly making jokes at your expense, truly am.

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.
Between all that and talking about things like Shokio, the discussion of painfully obvious fake leaks (or the not-so-holy Gematsu) or arguing about DLC, I'm not sure which is the biggest (heh) of the two evils really. Nowadays they're all about equally off-putting far as the thread's main topic is concerned, whenever I'm playing catch-up on the new pages here.


i'd love to see a palette swap of Ridley so that he can look like omega Ridley
As mentioned, that's Meta-Ridley on Norion before he became Omega. The particular render is from the Japanese boxart of Corruption.

This is his Meta form before being Omega. The first time I fought him I honestly thought they called him "Meta" Ridley by accident because he looked so organic. And I still don't see anything mechanic about him.
Ironically, in the demo plays at E3 when Corruption was first revealed, he was referred to as just Ridley in the name shown above the boss health bar instead of Meta-Ridley, before they changed it later on. But yeah, compared to the 1st Prime, there wasn't really anything cyborg-ish about him in Prime 3.

Probably mentioned it before but well, there's that saying that as an artist you tend to be your own worst critique.

If this is about the whole Ridley's **** thing, I wasn't aware that that was a joke at your expense, Andrea. I got on in the middle of it and I was like "Oh yay, a trolly yet on-topic discussion. My specialty."

I suppose I will have to leave Smashboards at that point as I made a gentleman's wager that I would forfeit my account in the event of his non-play-ability. So I suppose the first thing I will do is go to my room and cry... cry myself to sleep.
if he were deconfirmed, i would never return to another forum... ever.

i would not want to deal with the crap detractors would have to say if such an event came to pass.

i'd be completely asocial, online and offline.

thats the best case scenario, anyway.

Drama about Ridley art? This thread is on adrenaline; I love it. Everything must be exaggerated here for the BIGGEST effect. :troll:
Heh....blame my sudden emotional breakdown and feeling of worthlessness....but apparently everything has calmed down....Now....back to do Ridley stuff...or...play something.....

IF he was disconfirmed he would be disconfirmed as a boss.
I am hoping that he is confirmed as a costume for Charizard so that I can enjoy my favorite Nintendo dragons one in the same. However, I am sure that would be even more troll-worthy than just having Ridley as a boss, so I doubt Sakurai would attempt to please such a niche group of people.

I ain't blaming sh*t


It seems that you guys will be pretty upset if he's not playable. I can't disagree, after chrom and takamaru.... I don't even...

Y-y-you. Don't you even get started on Ridley as an alternate for Charizard. Or I may have to whip out my little friend...

I feel so left out, I tried to do something to help Andrea but ended up being completely unnoticed (honestly though it's really not important to me but I'd just like to point that out)

After Takamaru, I sorta wanted to post this gif, but decided I wasn't cruel enough to rub salt in the wounds of a character I was neutral about.

Yea, I've been through two brutal deconfirmations. And frankly I doubt Ridley (I just do I don't know why) so I've already prepared funeral music...
Ah, Riddles is fine. Though I'm sorta contemplating posting this at the Ghirahim thread when he's deconfirmed, (Since he's one of the few I oppose making it in) but I don't want to be a prick...
Eh, I'll let em wallow in despair and DLC campaigns. Its none of my business.

Stuff passes fast here, but I noticed you. And so did Andrea, and that's all that counts. (not the part about me, though.)

I'll make sure to celebrate with you when ghirahim is confirmed then :troll:
Also; good job not being a prick.

You know what it's time for. :4falcon:
This is one of those things that gets better the more you watch it, and if he's revealed, I'm posting this gif with the Metroid Metal Ridley theme as the soundtrack. It'll be great!
