I fully expect Luigi's nose and a part of Marth's forearm.


So does he love the flavor, the pain, or the fear?
I Personally Expect Wario Tomorrow, but look at how well that turned out last time.....

Something tells me you've watched Invader ZIM...
Invader What Now? I Have never even HEARD of the gloriousness that is Zim! You Must be mistaken!

Sure Ridley loves. It's his own brand of love. Like this chocolate tart beside me! I love it, it makes me so happy. But in order to love it truly, I must devour it. Now just imagine a tart that begs for mercy while you eat it too! That is Ridley's love for us. He loves and accepts us, detractors and supporters alike! So remember, next time a toobigot says his catch-phrase, just say "I accept your opinion. And so does Ridley."
You mean "I accept your bloody corpse as a somewhat acceptable meal." and "Needs more salt."
why does this have to be a fetish

They're called "Etecoons", I believe.
Wait those actually exist?
Welp, there goes my joke.

I have to say, the wait for Ridley's reveal is killing me. I hope the trailer we get is worth the weight wait.
All the trailers so far have been awesome. A hype bomb such as Ridley will probably have an even bigger greater impact.

"Thanks, and have fun."
Did we get Luigi's nose?


If Ridley is playable, looking at the other trailers, it will be.
Eeyupperz!

Really random, but thanks to a certain link higher on the page I've found the images that got me interested in Metroid long before I knew anything about it:


The colors, textures, and enemy design just looked so great, and I'd been wanting to play Metroid 2 for my whole life since then until it finally released on the 3DS Virtual Console.

Ridley's trailer will be the only trailer able to match Little Mac (easily the best one so far). The wait will be worth it.

Assumedly all of the above, but if you're asking which he loves best... that's a different speculation altogether.

If I am to take this chocolate tart as any example, I would say to you that the flavour is wonderful, but what makes me continue to eat it is the fear I instill in the other chocolate tarts. Yes, that's right tarts. Say goodbye to your former companion~

Yeah, the way they made the Little Mac trailer was so good, I could imagine how awesome the Ridley trailer will be!

I'm hoping for a trailer that looks like something from the Aliens movies, considering that Metroid was inspired from those movies, and Ridley is named after the Director, Ridley Scott.

Eh, Challenger from the Shadows and By Book, Blade, and Crest of Flame Were my personal favorites. Goddess of Light and Champion of the Ring were also good, but they suffered a bit from revealing who the newcomer was right away.

Live action, complete with so-bad-its-good rubber Ridley costume a la Power Rangers/Godzilla.

People are such mood swingers. All it'll take is for a Zelda newcomer or Ridley to be revealed, and they'll abandon the leak in droves. Or cling to it desperately like Gematsu.
In my defense, I can't abandon a theory I never believed in since I find it to be stretching at it's finest :denzel:

Would love to be proven wrong though.

I demand Fusion screech
Why you do this. You're a horrible person :laugh:

Sorry about that, but the denial of the leak really bugs me especially with the arguments against it. :/
Ah, that word again.

I know the evidence for and against the leak. I think it's likely to be legitimate, and have already comes to terms with it's awful existence. I know some of the piss-poor arguments some garner against this leak. However, I will always find the zealous, biased supporters of this leak that rose from the grave like with the Gematsu Leak to be downright hilarious.

Cool your jets. There's still a lot that we don't know.

I can objectively guarantee you that a Ridley reveal trailer, were it to happen, would be the hypest **** ever and blow Little Mac's and Megaman's out of the water.

Characters are getting De-Confirmed left and right. I hate to say it but Ridley may be next.
I'm still confident that Ridley won't be shown in a PoTD, at least.

Lack of conviction detected. Please wash your neck and wait in your assigned cubicle for High Command's sentence. :evil:

Our Commander's been teased at too long to be let go this way.

That Trailer was good too; It suffered because I Don't care about Mega Man that much.

to Rate them all:

1. Samus's Trauma (Ridley's Eventual Tailer)
2. Challenger from the Shadows (Greninja)
3. By Book, Blade, and Crest of Flame (Robin/Lucina)
4.Champion of the Ring (Little Mac)
5. Goddess of Light (Palutena)
6. Comet Observatory (Rosalina)
7. Mega Man joins the Battle (Mega Man)
8. Wii Fit Trainer/Villager
9. Red, Yellow, Blue (Pac-Man)


I Can't Rank Mii Fighters. Reggie VS. Iwata was the most Epic thing Ever, but I Don't care about the Mii Fighters Themselves

Difference here, disconfirmed characters are revealed immediately, without warning, and straight forward.

Ridley has been teased for a whole goddamn year and we have yet to get any significant news.

My god.
Has it really been ~362 days?
Gah, that seems like such a long time.
In heinsight, I always thought Ridley wouldn't be playable for the weirdest reason when I was young.
"He's too scary."
And that was in the 64 Days, now look at me.
Gah, where did the Time go.
Dialga, you so awesome.

Don't get to hyped well probably get something like the Menu in Smash Run or something Smash Run related we don't care about.
Hehe. Funnily enough, with every deconfirmation, Ridley's chances grow stronger.
You see, Sakurai has the habit of making sure that we, the fanbase, know a character is deconfirmed, to avoid false hype and thus false hope. In fact, he even went out of his way to deconfirm Chrom and Prince Sablé over twitter because in their respective reveals he didn't explicitly mention their roles.
Now, the reason why people still have hope for him in the first place was because the footage shown was incredibly vague, only showing a shadow and a bit of the tail. In other words, no explicit deconfirmation, even to this very day. If Ridley was truly a boss, Sakurai would've said it by now. But he didn't.

Let's just say Ridley is a boss in Pyrospear. Could they pull an Alfonzo scenario like whenever Ridley is on the field Meta-Ridley will take over?

Meta Ridley? Considering Metaley and Roidley's proportions differ wildly from each other, I have my doubts, as you have to take into consideration that the hitboxes need to be the same.
Alternatively you can just have Pyrosphere without the boss. Seems like a better solution to me. But let's be honest here, it's either one or the other, but not both.

Why does Ridley have to be the boss? Just because the stage is superficially based on the area you fight him in Other M? No, they've got plenty of bosses to choose from... Goyagma or Vorash could easily be the boss there, as well as Phantoon, Rhedogian or Kraid.

Or Nightmare.

The Assist Trophy is pointedly called Nightmare Wizard...

I've been playing video games for over fifteen years, and nothing gaming related in those fifteen years ever got me as hyped and excited as that trailer.

(Ps you know your signiture has the wrong ridley picture its supose to be a ? Not a X) (if you have not given up on ridley anyway.)

I believe the mods banned reaction gifs outside of spoilers.

Just look at today's PotD. The pattern continues, further proving Ridley's playability.



Each deconfirmation is just another step towards Ridley's fate.

Pyrospear? :p Is that a fusion between Spear Pillar and Pyrosphere?
Or Nightmare.

That is because Nightmare is a wizard. :p I would love to have Nightmare as a boss/hazard in Smash, though.

The thing is, most games and even the anime just refer to him as Nightmare, and that's it. The wizard title is usually only used if there would be confusion between his power-ball form, and his humanoid form. (Or if there's another Nightmare that needs unveiling.)

I know, I know! It might be hard to believe since I don't support a fourth Kirby rep, but I played most Kirby games. At first I didn't understand why Sakurai referred to Nightmare as "Nightmare Wizard", to be honest... That said, I think we shouldn't assume Nightmare is in the game because of this little detail (I am not sure if Dalek_kolt were serious, if not ignore this).
Bingo, go brush up on your Metroid lore. Other M or Fusion will suffice, may as well go do both for completion's sake~
Well, if the leak is legit, there isn't a Metroid stage for the 3DS version... apparently, so no Fusion stage with Nightmare. :sadeyes:

Because it was referred to as "Nightmare Wizard," yes, the possibility exists that the Nightmare relevant to this thread could be in somehow. Also, I consider Bandana Dee to be a rather strong candidate, even if I don't directly support him. :ohwell:
