Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Dark Phazon]

Mewtwo got eaten by Kirby.

Ridley couldn't fit through the entrance.

So what happened to Toon Zelda/Sheik, Roy, Dr. Mario, Plusle and Minun and Dixie Kong?

Diddy failed at cloning himself and performing a sex change on his clone in time.

As for Mewtwo, Sakurai wanted to cut back on clones so he cut Mewtwo because Mewtwo is a clone of Mew.


F_ck knowz what happened to the rest..im sure the next guy that post knowz.

I'm the next guy that posted.

You may want to give that a second guess.

Sakurai wanted to cut back on clones so thats why mewtwo got cut he is a clone of mew.

Im not sure what happened to the rest.

They tripped, got hurt and were deemed unfit for fighting.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

They tripped, got hurt and were deemed unfit for fighting.

I'm guessing they sued Sakurai for that.

Thus, why tripping was removed in Smash 4.

Metal Ridley for Smash.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Ugh....BOOOOORINGGGGGGGGGGG......Gahhdddd...what else is there to say?

Do you lot think he should have multiple small fire balls like in SM? or one big charged up one like Samus's charge beam?

I was think small multiple ones in the air but chargeable on the ground?

Or just small multiple ones all around.

I think leaving the charge shot for Samus is best.

 

[Oasis_S]

Ridley standing up straight looks so strange.

*calculates that his height there is about 20 feet tall*

 

[FalKoopa]

Ridley Standing up Straight looks So Strange.

Fixed. =P

 

[Oasis_S]

YEAH THAT'S ME ALWAYS BOLDING MY S'S HAHA.

*THROWS DRINK ACROSS THE ROOM* SOMETIMES A GUY JUST WANTS TO TAKE A BREAK YOU KNOW *SOBS UNCONTROLLABLY CURLED UP IN A FETAL POSITION AMONG THE BROKEN GLASS AND SPILLED BEVERAGE* WHY WON'T THEY LEAVE ME ALONE. THOSE DAMN S'S.

 

[Phaazoid]

FTFY. =P

FTFY

 

[Dark Phazon]

YEAH THAT'S ME ALWAYS BOLDING MY S'S HAHA.

What is the whole deal with the bolded 'S'' .....RealTalk....

 

[Oasis_S]

Cat is to kitten as puppy is to dog. Ridley is to Samus as Bowser is to Mario. S is to Oasis as RealTalk is to Dark Phazon.

God damn man, you'll never pass the SAT test if you can't even do analogies. That's the easiest part.

 

[Opossum]

Analogies aren't on the SAT anymore...

 

[Oasis_S]

...So he can never pass the analogies part of the test because the analogies themselves have passed away? Such ironic tragedy.

I never took them so what would I know.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Yeah, the overt racism of the Miyamoto imitation isn't anything I'm terribly proud of, but hey, those videos were fun to make back in the day, so there's that.

Remember, people...a storm is coming, and the clouds are dark, because Ridley's face...is in those clouds.

So yeah, now that I've become a born-again disciple of the Almighty Sakurai, I just have to make sure I'm not caught with my pants down in an airport bathroom, supporting other TOO BIG characters. *glances both ways, then ducks into K. Rool's thread*

Oh yeah, I remember that. Funny that Ridley and many of the ones people found in the clouds did actually appear under the Subspace banner. Still think it's one of the most farfetched theories that were pre-Brawl though.

 

[Opossum]

...So he can never pass the analogies part of the test because the analogies themselves have passed away? Such ironic tragedy.

Not to mention England doesn't even use the SATs as far as I know. I could be wrong, though.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Cat is to kitten as puppy is to dog. Ridley is to Samus as Bowser is to Mario. S is to Oasis as RealTalk is to Dark Phazon.

God damn man, you'll never pass the SAT test if you can't even do analogies. That's the easiest part.

I will never ask again.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So.....anyone think Ridley could be top tier?

 

[FalKoopa]

So.....anyone think Ridley could be top tier?

Heavyweights are usually NOT top tier.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Heavyweights are usually NOT top tier.

Doesn't mean it can't happen.

 

[FalKoopa]

Doesn't mean it can't happen.

You got me there.

Then again, Snake is kind of overpowered and D3 has the chaingrabs... but w/e.

 

[Oasis_S]

I hope he's low tier.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I hope he's low tier.

Wanna be a hero huh?

 

[MasterOfKnees]

I'd personally prefer him being mid or high tier. My big plans of maining Meta Knight pre-Brawl were ruined because he went on to become the god of all things tier, and I'm the kind of guy who can't get any kind of satisfaction out from winning with such a character, especially when my brother mains Ganondorf. I'd actually prefer Ridley being super low tier instead of top tier, given I'm used to the odds being against me since I'm maining C. Falcon and Samus in Brawl. As I said though, I'd prefer if he'd be high tier like Wario, it didn't take a life time of wars to learn him and he still feels rewarding to win with.

The worst case scenario for me would be that he went on to become another Meta Knight, that'd be the one thing that'd hinder me from maining him. Glad that it's unlikely though, given heavy and slow characters don't really have the potential to be that overpowered, and Sakurai and his team will do their darned best to ensure that we have a decent balance this time around. Plus there's the chance of us getting balance patches.

 

[_R@bid_]

I hope he's not low or high tier. I don't want to be at such a disadvantage like I was in Melee with , but I certainly don't want another

 

[Dark Phazon]

Would perfer low tier over high anyday for so many reasons....

 

[Oasis_S]

Wanna be a hero huh?

I just don't want a bunch of tourneyhomos rubbing their ***** all over Ridley.

 

[Dark Phazon]

RealTalk PeePz that havent touched Metroid and no jack s_it jumping on the Bandwagon the very same TOO BiGGeRzZ Too!! NAA NAA F_CK DA!

Even though Ridley's bandwagon would be BiG enough to fit all those F_ckerZ...

PS: Ridley is beating K.Rool by 6 Votes.

No need to edit thread title Ridley is indeed the #1 BIGGEST Nintendo All-Star left.

Mewtwo is still officially Killing it though its only right like he should but hes not a Newcomer so yh...

 

[Anomilus]

I was think small multiple ones in the air but chargeable on the ground?

Or just small multiple ones all around.

I think leaving the charge shot for Samus is best.

I've considered this...

Press 'B' to charge up fireball stocks. When fully charged, Ridley's eyes burn bright with the intensity of his burning power!

Press B again to fire a single small fireball. You can shoot up to six fireballs from a full charge in this manner. The fireballs would behave similarly to Mr. Game and Watch's Sausage...

....>___>

...Similarly to Mr. G&W's Neutral B attack, but with a bit less vertical height and a bit more distance. Does some damage, some hitstun, hardly any knockback. Mainly an annoyance tool. Done in the air, Ridley stays afloat just long enough to spit the fireball, so spitting out all six would stall Ridley in the air for a few seconds.


...OR...

Hold the B button for a second and release to fire a medium sized fireball. This would fly straight, about as fast as Lucario's Aurasphere. Deals decent damage and decent knockback. I'd say about the same knockback as Brawl Samus's Super Missile. Not necessarily enough for a KO, but it would knock them into the air. Done in the air, the fireball goes straight as well. Up to three of these can be shot out from a full charge, though at a lesser rate so they don't lock down or anything.

...OR...

Hold the B button for two seconds and release to unleash a single HUGE fireball! This would fly slowly through the air. I say it would act similarly to Ness's PK Flash. Impact with a character or the ground results in a large explosion. Direct contact with the explosion has about 2/3rds the knockback of a fully-charged PK Flash as well as its knockback angle. The blast zone carries the knockback power of his medium fireballs. This requires a full charge and only one per charge. When in the air, Ridley fires this at a very slight downward angle (due to the knockback angle, it wouldn't necessarily make a great edgeguard tool).

By alternating button inputs, Ridley could fire a mix of single and medium fireball attacks, provided he had the right amount of charge.


And that's how I see it. I made a good deal of this up on the spot. o_o

 

[Phaazoid]

And that's how I see it. I made a good deal of this up on the spot. o_o

Almost a little too on the spot, Anomilus... or should I say.... SAKURAI!

 

[Oasis_S]

I just want to be able to spit fireballs while gliding, functioning as though I'm dropping bombs on the stage.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I'd rather perform downward stabs with Ridley's tail, but shooting fireballs while gliding sounds fun!

His Final Smash should have him grab someone.,(anyone that's in his way) and then let you control him flying. While in this state, you can drag the character/s he's holding across the ground, or any walls or ceilings. (you can move Ridley's arm while doing this) before finishing whoever he has grabbed with a massive fireball, dealing heavy knockback and damage. Even if he doesn't grab anyone, he can still breath the fireball and it will create a shockwave on the ground if it impacts.

 

[IsmaR]

I can't imagine any moveset at all for him, tbh. I'm waiting for Sakurai to blow my mind again like he did for (not necessarily in a good way).

 

[Anomilus]

...Revamping my idea a bit.

Nix the charging.

Tap B to spit a small fireball. In the air up to 6 can be spat.
Hold B gathers more fire in Ridley's mouth. Release for the medium fireball.
Hold B for several seconds until Ridley's eyes burn brightly, then release for the huge fireball.

More intuitive that way.

I'd rather have the huge fireball be replaced by a steady stream of fire, like a super long range version of Bowser's fire breath.

 

[Anomilus]

That could work too I suppose, though we have plenty of fire streams. At least Ridley's wouldn't punk out like Bowser's and Charizard's.

...Amateurs.

 

[IsmaR]

To hell with streams/tiny fireballs. Ridley needs a whole wall of fire.

Spoiler

The only other time he had a "stream/laser" fire attack was in Metroid Prime, in which it was the Kinetic Breath Weapon/technology and not really him.

Alternatively to go with the charge thing, the fully charged fireballs could be like the ones he shot in DoA: Dimensions. I actually think it would be cool as a down special, with tail sweeps/pogo stick being aerials. Though admittedly it reminds me of Phoenix from MvC3..

Spoiler

 

[Oasis_S]

I really want his spinning fire breath/tail sweep thing from Prime 3 to be a D-Smash. Impractical as hell, but since when has that ever mattered. COOLNESS IS EVERYTHING.

Anyway, I always figured his Special would just be a small spread of homing fireballs.
