Also, he led the raid that destroyed Samus's home colony, ate her parents, stabbed her through the stomach and didn't friend her on Facebook.
He's never really had his backstory explained, nor has he really had much of a chance. The closest we got was Other M showing that he's actually a Pokémon. I still think Space Pirate Logs/Archives like in Prime would be a picture perfect way to explore the backstory of good ol' Riddles. Just have them as scientific logs of how they found Ridley, how he was taken in, how he rose through the ranks, etc.
Because pretending to be a detractor has gone so well with the mods before
Manga. Is. Canon.
I'm a supactor. XDBecause pretending to be a detractor has gone so well with the mods before
I don't think it's not!
does hitting someone in the face as hard as humanly possible with an iron bat count as a counter argument?
...Okay, that's much clearer, then. But even if it's put into a game... well, there's no guarantee we'll get it in the West (where's that DQ7 remake, Squeenix?)I don't think it's not!
What I'm saying is that a game would be more accessible and would make the knowledge a lot more widespread, especially since the manga was never released in the West. Also, the manga never delved into Ridley's backstory, you know?
The Primes are canon, the manga is canon. I'm not a... manga detractor, if such a term exists.
That can change.
A spin-off about Ridley's backgroud would be awesome in my opinion.
bowser and ganondorf before melee came out :]
I agree, or maybe a metroid game where Ridley is actually the main antagonist, or at least seemingly so?
It's not enough that Ridley is a mass-murdering sociopath, he also has to be a massive prick.
You mean protagonist?
Who else wants ridley playable in a super smash Kart racing game, massive head, tiny go Kart
YEAH thats the spirit! I personally want a metroid tennis, you bet your ass he'd be playable in that.
Nah I meant antagonist, I dunno, I just think a canon metroid game where ridley is the protagonist would be impossible.
And we'll never get it. Either because it'll never happen at all or nobody'll localize. Like Squeenix does.
Yeeeaaaah... like with the whole Impact Crater mishap changing between regions. At least, I think it was regions.
If that's been mentioned, I think that's an awesome backstory. I think it's just fantheory, honestly, especially with Ridley's home planet being unknown and all. T'was originally Zebes, but that was retconned like a lot of things.
Stop to destroy my dreams!And we'll never get it. Either because it'll never happen at all or nobody'll localize. Like Squeenix does.
I want this.
Maybe he could be the main antagonist but you will actually get to play him in flashbacks about his
I really want to be able to make a comic about his backstory in the future....another thing I should put on my list of Ridley projects.
Being a Dragon Quest fan is suffering. Glad I can share the wealth.
...No, go the other way. He's the protagonist, and the final boss is a fight against Samus that you can never win.
Plot twist, ridley is actually one of the prime pirates just a different version, similar to bees.
My current headcanon on Ridley is that his original species was little birdie, but assuming they consume an extreme amount of biomass, they would eventually grow to be terrible space dragons. They lived in a wild environment, and many would die, but they were very quick learners, and the few that survived would become ruthlessly efficient at killing any predator, large or small.
Ridbee confirmed
Wait, Ridley's a girl?
That would be cool too! Anyway, as long as the game is Ridley-centered and that we discover his backstory, I would be happy as a Ridley hater if he's a boss (which won't happen in my opinion)....No, go the other way. He's the protagonist, and the final boss is a fight against Samus that you can never win.
The Ice Beam only came off as powerful as it did because it was the last one attained under the whole beam stacking system, which is used in a bit too many games for my liking (prefer the switchable beam system like in the Primes). Wasn't denying though that the ice beam made sense for an Omega Metroid being the final boss, because it did (although not being able to damage it with ice missiles which also freeze was kinda silly), but would've preferred if there was some new weapon that was the only way to defeat the SA-X's giant/mutated form as the final boss, or something... instead of just charge beamming it a few times like everything else.
Yeah, for what it was the ice beam still worked. Wasn't really criticizing it so much as I was saying something else awesome could've happened at the end, but I agree on Fusion's ending itself being one of the best still (one of the few times when Samus's monologues was actually quote-worthy in a good way).
Oh, I see. Yeah, with the rest of your moveset, I reckon his normal throws shouldn't/wouldn't be as good as his aerial ones, but at least something to still use every once in awhile. Some throws like the d-throw should definitely have a plasma breath/fireball animation though.
The closest we got to that ironically was Zero Mission, but yeah. A game where he's not one-upped by some other creature at all would be nice for a change I guess, not that he necessarily needs to be a final boss for us to know that he's Samus's main antagonist.
We had the Honey Queen from Mario Galaxy resized once for that ****, so why not? Even for a racing kart game toobigotry would have no place.
If you wanna get technical, worker bees aren't exactly female. They're a whole different gender from male (drone) and female (queen) bees.Wait, Ridley's a girl?
The Chomper plants from Plants Vs Zombies have a swallowing animation. Final smash for Ridley confirmed!
