That leak is kinda killing my hope. There's just, I mean I know it could be fake but that's a hell of a lot of effort for a fake. I know that's happened before but still. If Dr. Mario, Dark Pit, Bowser Jr., and Duck Hunt Dog (this i dont mind but) get in over Ridley, Mewtwo, K. Rool, and any other constantly requested charcter I dunno how I'd feel. Doc and Emo Pit could easily be alt costumes.

Anyway, no solid deconfirmation of Ridley as of yet. Another week of anxiety I suppose, but better than disappointment too.

Best not to mention leaks, A kind reminder that we should pretend it didn't exist
Use the symbiote to threaten Sakurai if Ridley isn't playable at release

Since when is our orbital deathray called the "Symbiote"? What kind of nonsense is this?

I have to disagree about Dr. Mario.
Sure, he was a clone, but Sakurai could change him into a semi-clone.
Dr. Mario doenst even use fireballs, F.L.U.D.D. and "Mario Finale".
I agree with Dark Pit tho.

Ah sorry, I wager the eak-lay has been discussed to death in here, huh?

That is true about it taking several hours before the Robin video announcement. With the update coming so late though, do you think Sakurai would stay at work til like 10pm to put up an extra update about a video on monday? Though I guess it could be automated. I hope we do get some newcomer next week. When he showed off the Robin video only a month after E3 I figured they were going to start doing reveals once a month until the 3DS release. Either that was a bad assumption or we get one soon?

Didn't Meta Knights challenger thing get taken down with the music update? I was kind of hoping if Ridley had a newcomer video that it'd be during the Metroid anniversary month. If he does have one wouldn't it make sense to show it off a few weeks before release to let word of mouth and constant discussion about it spread?

Eh, all he has to do is tweet. He could easily do it from the safe confines of his home.

I wouldn't take it personal, Geoffrey. It was my bad for mentioning it. They just want to keep the topic, well, on topic. I'd edit the post but the "damage" is done so to speak, and no one got hurt. Since I'm tired as hell this popped in my head:

Venoms symbiote + Ridley = badass

Though he'd probably not be able to screech, or breathe fire...

Its ok. :)
I was also off-topic because i talked about why Dr. Mario can be a semi-clone.
Lets just stop with the leak and hope for Ridley.

In the words of Lucina...
"Hope will never die! "
We will get our beautiful purple space dragon, we've been staring death in the eye every morning for over a year now, we've taken on leaks worst than this before, we will see the glorious day Ridley takes to the skys, be it a Monday direct or September 13th.

Hm, I think there should be another Smash Direct in the near future.
For example, Mario Kart 8 got one 1 month ahead of it's release.
Smash however comes out in nearly 3 weeks.
Maybe next week:
The last Smash Direct was on a tuesday,
next week's tuesday falls on August 26th,
which Metroid II was released on in 1991.

The only other Metroid anniversaries left are wednesday, August 27th (MP3 NA release),
and September 2nd and 3rd
(Other M's japanese and european release dates).
They are falling on a tuesday and a wednesday.

If a Direct is to be announced for one of those dates,
chances stand quite good we`ll see Ridley.
Heck, we'll have 4 Metroid anniversaries of 3 different games in the next 3 weeks.
Nearing the game's release,
those might be the last chances to reveal him big time before the game comes out.

He would be able to breath fire unless Carnagley exists, but the Fusion SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH is impossible
He'd screech and blow himself up, well that'd be a downer. Perhaps spitting lobs of symbiote that explode on impact creating a loud SCREECH? Ehh..

Still! It'd look badass. That's all that matters!

It really would make sense to have another Smash direct soon. At the very least we do have one more newcomer video coming. I was just hoping we wouldn't have to wait until September to see it, and that it involved Ridley.

i hope ridley gets an arranged sountrack
If Ridley is in, Smash Run is just going to be his theme on loop. Forever. As I go through farming gear and eating things as Ridley. It would be glorious.

Don't forget to equip mega mushrooms!
I just hope the wait won't be too long. If it doesn't happen next week I will commit sudoku be sorely disappointed.

Also, a funny little thing I noticed between @AndreaAC's drawings and mine. I tend to make the characters in my drawings face to the left, while Andrea makes them face to the right.

That happened in Brawl...

didn't turn out too well
Ha! That was back then! He managed to fool us quite well!
HOWEVER, this time he decided to attack us directly, which has proven to have been a severe misstep for the Samurai! Our science team turned his very own weapon against him! It'll be smooth sailing from now on, mateys! TO VICTORY!

Oh, I know. Ever since showing he was actually in the game, pretty much anything else they could tease about him became irrelevant other than boss or not. I just remember when we got Norfair + Ridley fight theme in brawl and a lot of people thought that was indicative of his playability.

Good Morning Guys! So what's new about Ridley? I saw today's pic of the day was nothing special, but then I noticed the Metaknight banner on the site was gone! Could be hinting at a new character, eh?

Hmm, how long did we have to wait when Robin, Lucina and Captain Falcon's banners went down to get Meta Knight?

Still hope it means there's a direct coming next week.
