Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[ghastmine]

If I get on tommrow and the internet is exploding and I'm listening to skyfall I'll know ridley was confirmed....

Speaking of resizing, why do people always shrug off Ganondorf and the Pokemon when it comes to resizing Ridley debates? Greninja is shorter than Lucario in Smash, but Greninja is a foot taller in Pokemon (via the Pokedex). The Ganondorf proof is right up there.

Are you sure? Or are you just basing it off of Greninja's low fighting stance?
Bear in mind Wolf is taller than both Fox and Falco, but you wouldn't know it if all three stood idle next to each other due to Wolf's stance.

 

[NintenRob]

Anything interesting pop up lately, haven't been on here for a while.

Ridley for smash!! go team big.

 

[Deleted member]

ha ha....for your information, I created that ship WAY BEFORE Soulless started.

Oh gee I love you too Andrea...


Anyways:

Ridsalina is the only ship I'll ever truly call the "official" ship.

Also, while I doubt completely we'll get anything at all that could be worrisome tomorrow, I'm still worried a little bit in the back of my mind. My worrying side has certainly woken up a little bit atm.

Pardon me if I'm uninformed, but is there a reason we could possibly get something significant tomorrow, specifically?

If Ridley makes it into Smash Bros as a playable character, I'm certain the internet will explode. And I'll probably have to stay off it for a while because of the flame wars...

Regardless, seeing all these theories about Ridley during the Direct, it's leading me to support Ridley. And given that Ridley is such an important character in the Metroid series, (Given that Dark Samus is an Assist Trophy, and that apart from Adam Malkovitch or Anthony Higgs, there really aren't that many characters that are all that pivotal to Other M) so I guess for now, I'm sorta 50/50 with Ridley in Smash Bros. But I'm glad that you're all so supportive for him in Smash Bros.

Oh I'd be the complete opposite, I'd stay on the internet and Miiverse and watch the flames from a safe distance while I enjoy a bottle of Pepsi.

Metroid's 28th is today (now that it's past midnight where I am).

Although Sakurai has ignored some anniversaries (for example, Mother's), he's acknowledged a few others, for example, the Robin/Captain Falcon reveal was around anniversaries for FE and F-Zero.

Again I doubt we will get anything even Metroid related today but I still worry a little bit.

 

[aldelaro5]

I have just made my first expect roster and of course, Ridley's there locked with [almost confirmed].

I loved how the explanation was the easiest: my essay in the second post just a link, mention why I changed verdict and the trophy theory. done.

Maybe some indirect evidences will still manage to be there, but it doesn't matter. He really has too much now.

I actually realized that I never hyped myself for seeing my second most wanted.

So, let met do it now:



AHHHH!!!!!!



You gotta love this smiley for just being excited!

EDIT:

About dates, expect anything because I got a starfox stage reveal on TTYD anniversary while I actually got a Paper Mario stage a week after the said date. Basically, he may acknowledge any date, but not really how you would expect. Or don't even care which seems to be likely lol.

 

[ZeroJinKui]

What I find suspicious is that Corocoro will give info on Smash 3DS on the 12th. One day before GamesCon which according to tradition, the first day (13th) of the event will only be open to business companies and news media. It just seems perfectly spaced out.



If he is revealed as a stage hazard or boss... then I guess we lost the battle. But the war will forever last until we win. There is always 5MA5H.

...."5MA5H"?

yeah... super smash bros 55 is probably when we'll finally see ridley playable... too bad we'll all be dead by then.

seriously, now... people call this one "sm4sh"... so i think the next one would just be "sma5h"

the next one could be.... super smash 6ros.

then super smash bro7hers... then super smash 8ros.

ok, im done.

i saw a suggestion that the palette swap images should be placed on the first or second post, since people keep asking about them... anyone plan on doing that?

i've seen atleast two different palette swap collections that look pretty cool on here, someone should put both of them on those posts.

 

[Poopmin]

I CREATED Ridsalina....

I know you're new and all, but Andrea INVENTED Ridsalina.

And it's wonderful

 

[JabbatheHutt]

what if i told you guys... Ridley......

was a potato.

let that sink in.....


there there you can grease me

 

[AndreaAC]

Oh gee I love you too Andrea...


Anyways:

Aw....don't cry Soulless! =u= being called an hypocrite really got into my nerves....come on! give the Assassin a hug!

It won't hurt...too much!

xD And glad that you think that way about the ship I created...also...I checked the shipping thread...and I will never check it again in my life...

 

[TitanTeaTime]

Say, I'm curious about something...
Has somebody ever made a Slam Jam version of Ridley's theme? I feel like it could have hilarious results but I simply can't find it anywhere

I could do that, though it's a little daunting searching back in the 1400+ pages for a few specific posts.

If anyone can PM me them, I'd gladly include them (so long as I knew who to give credit to, of course)

Well, I suppose that if Ridley is a boss, they might as well show him on that date. But since I don't think he is a boss, I'm not too worried. If anything, Ridley surviving past that day will just boost his chances further.

Predicting an Anthony Higgs trophy now.

You would be lying, we all know there's only one potato guy...

 

[AuraShaman]

I hope the "checklist" comes back in this game. I always liked it in Kirby Air Ride and Brawl.

I predict they will be like the Treasure Hunts from Uprising.

 

[Skyblade12]

My first Metroid game was Super Metroid. Then came Fusion. Then Prime. So understand that it is not out of nostalgia for my first Ridley or my first Metroid game that I say this:

Metroid Prime's Meta-Ridley was the best Ridley in the series. In fact, the Space Pirates on the whole were far better in Prime than they were any other game in the series.

Prime was the game that made the Space Pirates behave the way they were always supposed to. Not just mere mindless Koopa Troopas with lobster-claw guns, but thinking, planning entities.

A lot of people will say "oh, that's just because of the Pirate Logs, and there's no way to get those on the Super Nintendo". But that's not true. I'm willing to accept the manual as the only way to work that sort of story element into the minimalistic media of a SNES cartridge. I have been gaming on PCs for almost as far as my memory stretches, I'm well used to games that use manuals as their primary method of storytelling. But it goes beyond that.

Look at the Space Pirates in Super Metroid. What can you tell me about them. They're lobster guys, and they like to wander caves and shoot at Samus. Fantastic.

Now look at the Space Pirates in Metroid Prime. What can you tell me about these guys? Well, we find them in laboratories, power stations, scouting outposts, starships. They're clearly more organized and more intelligent, even without the cutscenes fleshing them out.

We know they could have built levels like that in Super Metroid. Ceres station is clearly a giant research lab, so they can make that sort of environment. So why are so many Space Pirates just wandering random caves and empty hallways? These are the guys who are going to destroy the Galactic Federation? Yeah, right.


Ridley is much the same way. We're told he's the hyper intelligent leader of the Space Pirates, but we don't actually get to see it. Until Prime.

Meta Ridley is what Ridley always should have been. It doesn't matter how strong you are, how fast you are. When you're the leader of a spacefaring culture that is essentially at war with every species it meets, you have no excuse to go into battle barehanded. Ridley essentially took a knife to a gun fight when he went up against Samus. Now, admittedly, he was incredibly powerful, and he did put up a good fight. But he still got wasted because he was trying to fistfight someone who had a gun that can shoot through walls.

So what does he do? He says "I'm a giant dragon, I can carry some weight. I'm going to put some frelling armor on". Brilliant. He then adds cybernetics to make himself stronger, enhancers to his plasma breath. He outfits himself fully for war, using the incredible technology the Space Pirates have at their disposal. And it's AWESOME.

Sure, he still loses, but it just makes so much more sense. He powered through so much, his body's natural resilience and tail that can apparently cut through diamond letting him plow through most situations with personal strength, but when he was overcome, he sat down and changed. That's using that brilliant mind. That's how I always imagined Ridley acting.

So of all the Ridley incarnations, Meta Ridley is my favorite. And Metroid Prime is my favorite Metroid game, not just because it's the best first person game ever created, not just because it's the best translation of core gameplay experience across different mechanical systems ever seen, but because it breathed life into the world of Metroid in a way that no other game before it had.

I hope we get Meta Ridley as an alt costume. Ridley's coming to Smash for war. He'd better come prepared for it.

This needs to be done now.

 

[AuraShaman]

hey, to all the Ridley fans, I must ask...when was the last time someone said:
RIDLEY IS TOO FREAKING BIG!!!

...?

Just now, and it will ring in my head during my sleep. ><

 

[ミスティック Speed]

You all ready for Ridley guys?
He's going to be one awesome boss picture tonight.

 

[Wise Multishine]

I really hope your prediction is wrong. No offence to you. I'd prefer the Kirby Air Ride-style checklist.

I FOUND IT. I FOUND IT.

 

[ghastmine]

Lets just hope ridley,krystal and falco are confirmed tommrow (wolf will likely be hidden..)

 

[Dragalon]

I FOUND IT. I FOUND IT.

Ridley's too SLAM for JAM!

 

[JabbatheHutt]

What do you call a Ridley Supporter at a Circus?

COTTON CANDY!

Get it? Get it?

Cotton Candy is pink, and so is Ridleys skin

and candy cause... you are all delicious

 

[Skyblade12]

Has no one ever done a mash-up of Ridley's theme and the Mission Impossible theme? I can't be the only one to spot the similarities.

If it is expect ridley and krystal (or the final 2 newcomers they'll be showing off) oh bottom of the barrel....

 

[Wise Multishine]

Oh boy. Can't want for another "LANDAMASTU." I expect a Star Fox trailer. I just hope Krystal isn't a newcomer. Unless her moveset is done well. Ridley is good, though.

 

[Deleted member]

I doubt she would have the landmaster as her final smash.

 

[AuraShaman]

Even though I couldn't care less about Final Smashes, I'm very curious about what Ridley's will be.

I heard that Sakurai created Giga Bowser in Melee because he wasn't comfortable with normal Bowser's downscaled size. It's not original, but why not Giga Ridley?

 

[Wise Multishine]

I doubt she would have the landmaster as her final smash.

Really? You REALLY doubt that? She has a better reason to have a landmaster than Wolf does. Either way. That post was mostly a joke.

 

[firebrand38]

I think it's about time I created an account and show my support for Ridley. I've lurked this thread for a while now, way back to like the 700's. I absolutely want Ridley playable in this game and even if he isn't I'll still support him for Smash 5 and beyond.

Okay, fair enough. I just think that the developers would try something more unique this time around.

 

[ghastmine]

Well 28 years ago on this day ridley was born

 

[Wise Multishine]

Am I the only one that thinks we should be looking forward to Gamescom? I mean. Gamescom is HUGE. And it starts on the 14th.
