Totally, the excuse itself is rather silly and rather insulting to the designers, as gnoggin said in his video on the subject a professional artist should undoubtedly be able to make a Ridley that looks natural
And lo and behold:
Someone dun just that.

Then a CGI trailer starts, and the fiery Smash logo comes up, and it shows a trailer that starts off heavily implying that Ridley is a boss, with Samus running around the stage in fear, with a humongous shadow chasing her.
The shadow is way too big to be a playable character, but then the figure comes closely to Samus, and as it does, the shadow shrinks...
That, or just have him abruptly shrink implying that he was under a Super Mushroom.

I was looking at the variations at Pyrosphere and I noticed that the holes remain present in the stage. Don't know what that means but I think that's where the lava comes from.

Jeez we are almost 1000 pages from the pyrosphere shadow. (about page 490) If that doesn't show how much people want Ridley it at least shows humans can be very determined

Though I support Ridley, I already have two great character reveals in the form of Greninja and Little Mac. I would like Ridley because he would make the roster feel complete to me and I really like his design. So if he is not in it won't bother me a whole lot. How bout you guys? Is there another reason you want the game?

I was debating with someone about Ridley before and I showed him this EXACT picture. He said the arms, head and wings were too large...I was like...lolwat.
IMHO Roidley's arms do look a little silly. they look big and disproportionate to his body, but that's an easy fix.
anyway, i was wondering if you guys think anything will happen with the Corocoro article that will be released this coming tuesday?

I countered that with saying Sakurai could use the Other M concept art design. He said they wouldn't use concept art design. I was like...Why not?

Eh, Greninja is alt material for me at best, otherwise none of the other newcomers fall in with my playstyle. The only appeal the game has to me currently is its new gameplay, veteran changes, modes and online play, on the character front I'm not interested in the slightest, which is only natural since the only potential newcomer I'd actually main is Ridley.

I like to main characters I actually have a relation to in their source games, but given that all of my favorite Nintendo characters except Ridley are already in it's a fairly hard task to live up to. There's only ever been one exception to this, and that's Ike, and even then I have begun playing his games since.

Plus, I like simpler movesets, all these wacky characters don't do me any good at all, hence why Greninja is also my favorite of the bunch. Call that close-minded if you will, I call it preference.

You know how people say ridley to big um anybody rember metroid prime....
He is big, but not big enough to where he can't be shrunk. Pretty sure Prime 1 Ridley was kind of hunched over. I would love to see a Meta Ridley alt.

Ain't that supposed to be his tail?
lol yah probably. however his tail is that white blade thing on the drawing displaying his front side so i don't know why they'd change it for the backside.

490 pages in 2 years, from 2012 - 2014.

1000 pages in 4 months, from April to August.


That makes sense.

People who claim Ray-man still has a chance (even though Nintendo officially deconfirmed him) and Ridley is impossible (because, they say, "They showed Ridley as a boss duh lol. BUT RAY-MAN WAS A COVERUP BY NINTENDO SHUTUP I'M RIGHT) have a special spot reserved for them in the Splounge Catacombs.

I suppose that is precisely what happens when the creative directors alludes to a "boss" character. No one (intelligent) is falling for it, Sakurai. Just reveal him already. :shades:
when i made my ridley video, i mentioned "A person who dosnt use critikal thinking (or ridley haters in general)" this one guy made a rant comment involving 26 paragraphs. i just read the first sentence and didnt bother with the rest, so i deleted the comment XD
