Maybe they didn't actually have enough Data to fully clone Ridley and so they mixed his DNA with a similar species and that's why Roidley starts off as a furby and then whatever the hell his second form is

That wasn't the issue.
The issue is that #2 does not fit in #1, and even if #2 fits in #1 it means #2 somehow managed to grow to massive lengths within a short timespan.
The point was that if any of that apparently works anyway, I can totally understand that Ridley just got his entire intellect stored in his DNA or something and regained it in his clone-form. Suspense of disbelief and stuff.

Rage quits will most likely happen...even though they won't work. Oh, and Little Birdie appears in For Glory mode too, so, have fun!
Will CD-I games be represented in Sm4sh (The DINNER for Smash 4!) and how would CD-I Ridley and Samus look like? Now someone MUST draw CD-I Ridley and CD-I Samus.

It's still incredibly confusing, because the legs on Birdley and the small lizard thing are different lengths and all. And the eyes are in different positions...how does it work? Does it just form a different version inside the old one or somthing, and then it bursts out of the back?
Argh! Science!

I believe the correct term desribing Ridley's abrupt physical change is metamorphosis.

So... Have we talked about potential Codec Calls Snake/Pit/Little Mac could have for Ridley?
Click to expand...
We've already established that Snake's would be making fun of the name "Space Pirates" and that Pit's would be making a joke about KI/Metroid being sister series, and that Ridley is Hewdraw's cousin.

Mac's would almost certainly be a reference to this.

Which is also why I think he got his DNA mixed with another species, particularly a species that got dumber as they grew
Cause Birdley was a manipulative little shi-Bird thing, but once it got fully grown He thought he could take on a Queen Metroid

Are we talking Assist Trophies for Ridley's other forms? Because I think his Second Form could work better than the Chick form. He could hop around and do things from his battle.

Lack luster 3 was? Prime 3 got critical acclaim and was a commercial success, and its story and voice acting were highly praised.

Also the hunters do all have backstories but it doesn't expand beyond that but it has the potential too, it is currently rumored that Sylux's ship was seen at the end of prime 3. Ship is a little different but it is his style and he has reasons for wanting to go after her.

And they are planning on contiuing the side scrolling metroid games as well as the prime style metroid games. The metroid prime games sell extremely well and were all commerical successes and metroid prime was considered to be one of the greatest games ever made.

It really feels like you're a hardcore fan of the old school, correct me if I'm wrong.

P.S Also I would have liked prime 3 if the gameplay and reverse character development wasn't so ****.
Click to expand...
I know that Prime 3 is generally liked, but I find it to be very weak in comparison to the rest of the Prime trilogy, its controls, gimmicks, planets (aka zones), upgrades, and getting rid of beam switching all hurt it a lot in my opinion.

I don't believe it's Sylux, it's missing his trademark purple and green colors, and the ship doesn't match properly in shape either. The colors match Dark Samus' Prime 3 design much more, but that's a bit questionable since Dark Samus never has had a ship before and is supposedly dead with the destruction of Phaaze. Who knows, I highly doubt it's Sylux though, the fanbase has always exaggerated his importance and impact in his one game imo. As for the other Hunters, I never really cared about them, their designs and battles were rather poor imo so I never bothered with their backstories, I just knew I had to shoot them down and continue onwards, they were just regular enemies to me. So as you might gather I'm not super thrilled if they go that route again, although I do understand if you do see the appeal of it.

And yeah, I'm more of a fan of the old-school games, although I do hold Prime 1 and 2 in high regard. I definitely prefer Metroid as a sidescroller though, and I can't tell you how relieved I am that they actually have plans for it, we haven't had a sidescroller Metroid in 10 years now so I've been ready to accept that we might never get one again. I guess if they keep on leading the 3D Metroids places I don't like I can always just stick with the sidescrollers, it's easier to accept changes in those imo as gameplay is the deciding factor with those, while in the 3D Metroids immersion is pretty much everything for me.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think it's fine. It's in a spoiler after all, it would be your choice to open it.

You should probably still go back and edit it with [ spoiler=Strong Language Use ] or just cut off the bottom of the picture all together.

It wasn't in a spoiler until after my post, but ok.


I've been thinking, a friend of mine talked to me about a smash anime, but it being humor based. What would Ridley's personality have to be if that ever happens?

Ridley would be his usual personality: diabolical, yet calm and collected.

NEVER eat Kirby's snacks...yet that alone is usually the kick-off of almost all Kirby games.

But here's the big question:WHY WOULD RIDLEY EAT A CAKE? I was under the impression that Ridley is a carnivore...or is he?

The Wii U would work great with the control scheme and all. Either twin sticks, or stylus for much faster aiming.

Cold and calculating. Holds back until he finds an opportunity to strike. Analytic even in hectic situations, but not the kind that just goes and starts motormouthing about it. Very, very cruel.

Ridley is a parentivore. The rest of his species has died out due to a large influx of Batmen taking over their territory and hunting them down with very expensive gadgets.

I think using the stylus for an FPS game is torture, at least the DS proved that to me. Give me the GC control-scheme, no gimmicks, just have a map on the gamepad and keep it at that. Nintendo often gets caught up in their gimmicks a bit too much, making otherwise simple tasks very difficult.

Just to spite Kirby or be evil because he can I guess

Eh. It's because I played KI:U and I didn't mind the apparently awkward control scheme at all. For me, using the stylus is probably better than the stick. That, and the screen of the Wii U gamepad is bigger, so that helps.

I don't know, as long as they are cruel they should be fine.

I'm not a Ridley supporter(I'll admit the evidence is extremely strong to his inclusion), but I'm just curious as to which game the Zekrom model was used from in @Mario_and_Sonic_Guy 's size comparisons, since the other models are obviously from the Brawl disc. Thanks (:

Fanmade is my guess, as that Ridley model isn't Brawl's model

Yeah, I can't imagine anything leaking green blood is tasty.
Also, less graphical? What was the other variant supposed to be like?

It wasn't that he thought he could take on the Queen, but that he had no other choice but to try. He was still severely weakened after his battle with Samus and didn't have anywhere to run with the Queen's Metroids surrounding him. The original Ridley would've fared no better in such a cornered/screwed situation.
