With this talk about metroids, I want an SR388 stage now if we don't get Norfair. The acid would work just like water, except made of pain.

I'm a little more curious about how Ridley would have been as an Assist had Sakurai not made him as a boss instead.
What he would have done, what size he would have been.
Hmmm....yh like Bowser in Project M...hell some chars are powerful..but the powerful slow/big and fat chars gotta have something...I think in general, Ridley should be a large character (largest character in the game, even), and have knockback resistance at lower percentages. In other words, as he takes damage, his resistance goes down.
WHAT??!? WWWWWhAtT? You What!!!!?
Swearr down? Its like that yeah......? Wow...stab in the back... stab in the dark....
I dunno wtf to say...
With a homeboy aswell...WarioFan is a cool guy...cant believe you done me like this....RealTalk....Ugh...
Speechless.... We waz good....and then....just go...I think its best we ignore each other.
After i went and got this f_cking peice of s_it going straight in the trash !!

I'm sure Sakurai is smarter than that.Anyways I just hope that Sakurai doesn't misinterpret the support for Ridley as, "We want to see him appear in Smash" as opposed to, "We want to see him as a playable character in Smash."
I REALLY don't think he would interpret it that way.Anyways I just hope that Sakurai doesn't misinterpret the support for Ridley as, "We want to see him appear in Smash" as opposed to, "We want to see him as a playable character in Smash."
I think Ridley could have been interesting as an AT, not because of his attacks but because he could have a new kind of AT :
The kind who attack everyone, even the character who would have summon him, bassicly the electrode/wobuffet of assist trophy, but much more agressive and able to move.
Because seriously what kind of reason would Ridley have to help you, it will make you think twice before you use an AT next time, for now enjoy your Non-Assist Trophy.
Andross could be here to help Wolf to get ride of the Starfox crew and Waluigi would help Wario.I was thinking about that, but I think the same could be said about a lot of the current Assist Trophies like Andross and Waluigi. Of course, The Devil, Mr. Resetti and NintenDog do kind of just screw everyone up already.
This is a wonderful idea. The only problem is you also would have to balance him so he's strong against Zero Suit Samus as well---after all, you wouldn't want her putting the beatdown on him after she sheds the armor.Here's an idea that can allow Smash Ridley to be a truly intimidating opponent for Samus: make him an absolute counter to her in every way possible. She wants to pepper him with projectiles? Give him that move from Other M where his skin darkens and reflects shots. She wants to sit back and charge her NSpec? Give him a fireball barrage he can send in her direction to interrupt her. And so on and so forth.
I REALLY don't think he would interpret it that way.
First off, Ridley has appeared in all Smash games in some form. So why would we demanding Ridley to appear in Smash?
Secondly, that Sakurai interview where he was has specifically asked if Ridley was planned to be playable, to which Sakurai replied that he'd be a little slow.
I really don't see Sakurai interpreting it that way, lol.
I think that the idea of a playable Ridley just never crossed his mind before that interview.I don't think it would be too presumptuous to say that the Metroid Series' and Ridley's general (and rising) popularity played a role in allowing Ridley to take a bigger and more appropriate role in Brawl as opposed to simply flying in the background or appearing in an opening cutscene.
I'm just wondering why Sakurai decided to implement Ridley as a boss instead of a playable character in Brawl if his team could have done so. It seemed as though Ridley did have a lot of support during pre-Brawl and Sakurai does carry the mindset of creating the best game possible, but what factors led Sakurai to choose him as a boss instead of a character? Was it time constraint, support came in too late into development, misinterpretation, easier to implement as a boss, more appropriate to implement as a boss, or a combination of the above? Sure this won't matter too much for his decision to be playable in the next game, in fact I'm quite hopeful we'll finally be able to play as him, but I would just like to be more informed as to why he missed his chance in Brawl.
All I can gather from that interview is that Ridley was impossible to implement as a playable character for some unspecified reason and that if his team made Ridley playable he would be a bit slow.
@kikaru
I think it was due to his late support. There were too many important characters competing for a roster spot, and a big purple dragon might have screamed "Boss" to Sakurai, when he was creating the SSE.
Were seeking Relationship advice its cool.Man you two sound like such a troublesome couple, you guys seriously ought to sort this out before things start getting out of hand.
Anyways I just hope that Sakurai doesn't misinterpret the support for Ridley as, "We want to see him appear in Smash" as opposed to, "We want to see him as a playable character in Smash."
Yh but thats the F_cked thing...he could if he wanted to...who is gonna stop him?I'm sure Sakurai is smarter than that.
Pretty much everyone agrees his colors would be purple with orange wings (or red wings since he might get his Other M look), red/yellow, blue/fuchsia, green/red, and black/yellow (even though that doesn't really reference anything but I still see the come up all the time when this question is brought up). That just leaves one color, which would be anyone's guess. I think a whitish color would be good.i wonder what his ALT colors would be?
it be funny if they color him orange w/ blueish green color to reference charizard.Pretty much everyone agrees his colors would be purple with orange wings (or red wings since he might get his Other M look), red/yellow, blue/fuchsia, green/red, and black/yellow (even though that doesn't really reference anything but I still see the come up all the time when this question is brought up).

While we're at it, let's also add Salamence, Dragonite, and Druddigon as recolours.it be funny if they color him orange w/ blueish green color to reference charizard.
It references Meta Ridley, given that he is enhanced by a very blackish metal. I personally think a better reference to Meta Ridley would be gray/yellow, but black works too.black/yellow (even though that doesn't really reference anything but I still see the come up all the time when this question is brought up)
If you really look at Prime Meta Ridley pictures, his colors match up with the Brawl version, the color scheme in that game though is just more subdued I think so a lot of people make that mistake. Or maybe the developers thought bright purple wasn't intimidating, lol. WHATEVER, I guess the point is we've never actually had a black Ridley.It references Meta Ridley, given that he is enhanced by a very blackish metal.

Yeah, as I said, I think gray/yellow would work better. The lightning in Prime is usually very dark, and when people think of Meta Ridley many people think of this particular scene:If you really look at Prime Meta Ridley pictures, his colors match up with the Brawl version, the color scheme in that game though is just more subdued I think so a lot of people make that mistake.

"Ridley is the bravest and most courageous, and anyone disagrees is a dastard."I wish I knew more about the ridley argument so I could debate on Ridleys behalf in this other thread
just made it my sig"Ridley is the bravest and most courageous, and anyone disagrees is a dastard."
Solves every problem.
I just posted a lengthy argument countering that nonesense "Ridley is too big" video in the K. Rool vs Ridley thread that's going on at the SSB4 General Discussions board, check it out if you want to have some counter arguments in the future.I wish I knew more about the ridley argument so I could debate on Ridleys behalf in this other thread
No.........White/Green for Little Birdie anyone ? ^^
