Why should you feel awkward? >:3
Thanks, I think I fixed it.Aren't his wings larger now?
So didn't they just screw up even more?
Whoever you're replying to forgot to put [/spoiler] at the end of their post. If you want to prevent it, add [/spoiler] before [./quote]. Hope this helps.
Fixed.
I think the mods mentioned that threads that reach 2000 post begin experiencing difficulties and usually need to be locked to prevent any server issues or something.
But...isn't the thread going to get locked if we reach that number?
I wouldn't get your hopes up for that. You may only have less than a week to accomplish that.
F*** NO! That thing is not Ridley for me. He looks too human-like instead of being a lot more like a dragon pterosaur thing he always was. And...just look at his chest, torso, etc. - THAT doesn't looks right! Ridley-X looks better than that. At least that guy still looks like Ridley and not that. And that will not be used since its not Other M design. It is just from concept art from that game. It doesn't counts. Just like Dark Meta Ridley, that weird Omega Ridley design with weird wings, Phantoon's body connected to his head and arms in one of those concept arts, etc. Chances of getting that or classic Ridley (this one may get a trophy, but nothing more) are 0% in Sm4sh. Chances of getting that abomination in any other game is 0%.Or Concept Artley
It is my failed attempt at making a Ridley alt for Charizard. It would have been done if he would have same bone indexes as Charizard and if his feet wouldn't just disappear.
Then we won't be able to reach OVER 9000 pages after Ridley will get confirmed since after 2000th, thread starts to glitch up and turns into
Personally I think that for his A moves in general he should have quick swipes with his claws and powerful spikes with his tail for his other attacks
.Devil's advocate, but Smash 3DS's having the Smash Run is unfair to Wii U owners.
Well, Sheik in Brawl was designed after unused concept art of her from Twilight Princess.
This. At some point, Sakurai has to reveal Ridley sooner or later. It would be a huge disappointment if Ridley, after all that build-up, was revealed to be a stage hazard after all that hinting and teasing. Why would a stage hazard have this much teasing?
Really? I didn't know about that. Still, it is very unlikely that will be used instead of Roidley or hybrid design.
He still can be redesigned to be an alt (no pure classic Ridley unless it somehow will be default model of Ridley in Sm4sh) or a trophy...or he can paint himself in purple (skin), red (wings), white (tail spike), green (eyes) and pink (part of the beak, few other parts), kill Roidley, kill everyone who saw him killing Roidley, flip the coin, kill Batman because its simple, eat some ice cream, put the corpse into a very large box, send it to Space Pirates, play SSBB, realize he forgot something, destroy any evidence with fire, personally talk with Sakurai so he won't be kicked out for killing someone, get rid of a bomb because one day you just can't get rid of a bomb and then enjoy his role in Sm4sh. Then most of you will be happy, right?
No. No one even said "Ridley". They didn't just refuse to reveal his role after 4 months since April Direct, they refuse to SAY HIS NAME since Other M or even Brawl interview where someone asked Sakurai about Ridley. There is something wrong with that...and all of us (or at least most of us) hope that it will lead to good news that will crash smashboards (well...last part isn't something we really want to happen...).
Nope.
Brawley actually has a visible six pack. Just pointing that put there.
COMPLETELY different... dont try to pull that crap.Devil's advocate, but Smash 3DS's having the Smash Run is unfair to Wii U owners.
Also, Sakurai stated in June 2013 that there were not planning any Wii U functionalities at the time. Whether things changed down in development during a year's time (possibly due to Nintendo's explicit strategy to market the Wii U gamepad functionalites more) remains to be seen. One should not expect Gamepad gimmicks, but at the same time don't be surprised if they show up anyway despite past remarks on the issue (specifically on Ridley, one should not expect Playable Boss Hazard Ridley, but at the same time don't be surprised if it pops up).
No. No direct mentioning. No direct showing. Just a shadow, and "an enemy from Samus' past may appear" which doesn't even specify context at all.
I'll always prefer Brawley's head, but this is really good. I could get behind this design.
Then my entire life...is a LIE!
Did you check out your Ridley in the Salty Bet Dream Casino on Twitch.tv?
If he was Brawl Ridley, then it is part of his strategy (if it was CPU and not player). If it was Other M Ridley...then same thing, but he needs fireballs less. Unless it is something else. Either way, could you give me link to that?
I didn't found it unfortunately...was it a video or...um...live channel...don't know how that is called...NOT recorded before uploading and instead recorded while uploading or something like that? If yes...then i won't be able to watch it...
It's called a stream.
Thanks for the answer.
Agreed.
Yes. Yes. Where have you been all my live?
I love the idea of this thread growing so big it starts glitching. Irony at its finest.
Amen to you.Ridley's playstyle imo should be focused on the concept of a Grappler with moves functioning similar to command grabs (Ridley should have at least 2 command grabs IMO), with said grabs setting up aerial combos (thus, functioning similar to Launchers) mixed with a Juggler to overwhelm foes in the air. Thus, these command (most, anyway) should probably have low knockback, as so they will still be viable at higher percentages. One command grab should be Ridley able to swoop straight down and grab an opponent with his feet from above, and lift them up higher into the air (reference to SM Ridley, who was notorious for this). I am undecided if this move should even damage; it may be possible for this move to be used entirely for setting up opponents in the air with minimal damage/knockback. Another grab/command grab should maybe be him grabbing you with one arm and drag you on the ground, with the result launching the opponent back into the air but with Ridley carrying his momentum from the drag.
Plasma breath would most likely be a zoning technique, and I can't imagine it getting more then one move (would be nice to be wrong though). Undecided whether it should be classic, multi-fireball sparks that spread (like in Super Metroid) or Prime/Other M plasma which was much more continuous plasma (or in prime's case, a beam). 2D Ridley/Spread would probably be more ideal, as that has far more overt zoning advantages then just a beam. Even better if Ridley could somehow incorporate and control both. Or they might subject the differences to custom moves...
For generic attacks, Ridley's will probably utilize his claws and tails, but I really hope they are few so that Ridley doesn't become a generic Brawler (ala Bowser). When Ridley is in the air, Ridley should possibly be able to incorporate his tail to attack ground (reference to pretty much all his 2-D fights, which he does exactly that). "But if from a certain height Ridley's tail could reach back down to the stage then his tail would be too long!" I disagree, since Other M's fight used a lot of stretching to make Ridley's tail attack at long lengths despite it not being that long otherwise. I guess similar to Diddy's elongated arms when he attacks.
Ridley using his wings to attack I find to be extremely silly. I've always felt with Charizard that if you needed to reach so far as to resort to the character's wings as a method of attacking, then you ran out of ideas.
I truly do believe that Ridley should be extremely disadvantageous on the ground. Normal/Smash moves having very slow wind-up (please no super armor as well), very slow walking/running speeds (or having a very long start-up to get to a decent speed). Ground combat should discouraged at all times for Ridley. If on the ground, a portion of Ridley's move would encourage to launch the opponent back into the air.
Completely undecided on just how much mobility Ridley should harbor in air, and how free-roaming it would be, and how limited it should be.
Just random jumbled thoughts on the direction in which Ridley's design philosophy should be if he were to appear in Smash. I think Ridley should fight mainly inspired by his 2-D forms (especially since Smash Bros. is a 2D environment). Also since we will probably get a fully organic Ridley he most likely will not have many moves from the Prime series at his disposal (like him being able to Air-Raid those bombs in Prime 1's Meta-Ridley fight).
Ridley can be very unique if Sakurai focuses on a certain playstyle that he can harbor (as I said before, I think focusing him to be more of a grappler/juggler would be ideal), but I'm also afraid Sakurai will get lazy and just make Ridley a Heavyweight Brawler w/ glide, with one fireballs zoning. I don't want Ridley to end up with missed potential like Charizard
For stage entrance, either the eerie glowing eyes from when you encounter Ridley fights in Super Metroid, or Ridley swooping in from the background (similar to Ridley's escape from the Ceres Station in SM). Eerie glowing eyes would be preferred but far less feasible to implement.

It depends on what the direct is about.
And this Pic from the same post:
What I'm wondering is whether or not this kind of front-facing is evident in the Ridley Shadow tease? Do you think this has any baring on the "Playable Ridley" hypothesis? Also, do we know if this behavior manifests during walking or aerial movement animations? If not, then it shouldn't be evident during the Ridley tease, but if it does, then shouldn't it be evident?
