All of that noise.
Not that's it's really relevant anymore, but this isn't the thread for it. We're already skating on thin ice (all ice is thin under Ridley's massive girth, really) with the mods threatening to lock this for not being on topic.

I feel like if Sakurai wanted Ridley in Smash, he would have been in it already. ZSS being in before Ridley, as well as Ridley being a boss in SSE, makes it seem as though Sakurai doesn't care much for the dragon thing.
>Doesn't care much about the dragon
>Makes him a boss twice in the same game

In the case of Ridley, a dark reprise of the Weapon Get music Samus uses would probably be what is used.
After all, The Cover Changes The Meaning.
I disagree. Meta Knight's theme fit because he's not really the antagonist to Kirby that Ridley is (not to mention you play as him often in the Kirby games). The cover can change the meaning slightly, but it'll still be odd if Ridley gets the generic "Item Get" music considering A) That's not so much a Metroid theme/jingle as it is a Samus-specific one. It'd be like him getting Samus' Main Theme to play for the credits in Classic/All-Star Mode. Yeah they could do it (and would be extremely lazy of them to) but it won't seem fitting at all, no matter how dark/edgy the remix is.

As I said, I think aside from his signature theme there's a few people may be neglecting to consider (his NES one, mainly)

[collapse=(Obligatory) Ridley Battle Theme - M:OM]
The reprise part with the added percussion, albeit a bit snipped.[/collapse]
[collapse=Ridley's Lair - Metroid (NES)]
Imagining a sped-up tempo rock/Prime-sounding version, ending where the theme begins to loop.[/collapse]
[collapse=Crateria (Space Pirate Appear)/Pirate Homeworld (Super Metroid/Metroid Prime 3)]
I admit this one's a bit of a stretch, but given how Ridley is their leader and all, and Sakurai loves going with the classics, I think it would be awesome. Just imagining Ridley doing a sassy strut ending with a roar to it.[/collapse][collapse=Space Pirates (Metroid Prime Trilogy)]
Obvious that Prime hasn't received much love in terms of music, and in general as far as Metroid love in Japan goes (the whole "technically not canon" thing according to Sakamoto doesn't help). But I'm pretty sure even Sakurai'd recognize one of the more familiar themes across all 3 games.[/collapse]

As promised, here's my half-assed attempt at making a Ridley/Gilbert Gottfried video.

WARNING: Foul language NSFW.

....turned Ridley into a random chatterbox.

What have I done....?

That was amazing.

I feel complete now.

I really wish I were as confident as JohnKnight about Ridley or King K. Rool's inclusion. :/
At the very least I feel more confident in Ridley and King K. Rool's inclusion than I did Mega Man's, so I have a good feeling in regards to both naturally.

Wait, what, really? That's great news! That was quick, too. I guess they realized they dun goofed, huh?
I bet they honestly didn't even realize what they were cancelling. Nintendo America is pretty thick, and they recently went on a hunt to shut down/put ads on all youtube videos with their games, ****ing over a bunch of people who do let's plays. They probably thought this was something similar >.>

And if Ridley's shadow is too big, does that mean the whole stage is just always gonna be dark?

And.. after all these comments, I think I'll save this video for after I get home from work @.@

Gilbert Godfried confirmed for Smash :troll:.

Also, Pikachu took Ridley down with a thunderbolt. I guess Ridley CAN be handled by other characters in Smash Bros....

Did you not read the warning above the video that said there was foul language and was NSFW?

Come to think of it, you should be a big Ridley supporter, Opossum, since Ridley is sort of known for playing opossum. You always think he's dead, but he never is.

I actually am a rather big (haha:troll: ) Ridley supporter, since he's just incredibly badass. And this is saying something, considering I've admittedly never played a Metroid game, but definitely will once I get a Wii U and download Super Metroid.

And the playing 'possum part is of course, awesome too. Also why I'm a K. Rool supporter. :awesome:

Wow, you really are English. You said take the piss out... well technically you said "take the piss outta" but close enough. I've looked that expression up a few times, and still can't remember what it means.

The smallest of the small confirmed, nowhere to go but upbigger from here. Alternatively, Sakurai is trolling with size comparisons.



I really didn't think I'd see the day someone called Kirby too big.

Yep, since the next character reveal shall be bigger than olimar, it's that much more likely to be Ridley. statistics ftw.


And Oasis, I see you don't need my extra metroid xD. I may or may not have 3 now.

DKCR 3D or M&L Dream Team?

Which one? Thinking of getting a 3DS game.

I love the Saga series but Dream Team doesnt look that great..advice?
well i'm biased towards Dream Team so I say Dream Team (lucky English ******** get it a month before us :mad: ) also DKCR 3D I think is a remake of the Wii one so why not just get Wii one?
