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 sight was gone! Could be hinting at a new character, eh?
Oh, I drew a thing. Scroll up for a bit if you haven't seen it yet, it's inside a spoiler tag thing.

At this point, withe everything that has gone around it, I think that if Ridley is going to be revealed at all, it'll be a release direct (that is, a direct the day before release).

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.

I have a good feeling for the 27th. THAT feels like the day we are gonna get a direct, or at least a big announcement.

I checked it out. Nice job! Ridley looks like an old school detective!

Possibly, we all felt good about the 20th and look how that turned out. Although basing a direct around the anniversary of a POTD was a bit of a stretch. I feel more confident in the 27th as a date for a direct.

Well, whatever date we get the direct, it's gonna be soon. My god, its really coming to a close. Smash Bros. is almost here, and the wait for the Purple Space Dragon is still going Strong.

Heh, yeah. And look how far we've come now...
Absolutely nothing relevant since then xD

But it has been a ridiculously long time. Let's just hope that means something.

But the Meta-Knight banner being gone is something. Maybe we'll get a character next week. Now, however, we must suffer the long updateless march known as the weekend. It's funny how they are so hated now, yet after the game comes out they will be what I live for.

Also, a funny little thing I noticed between @ AndreaAC 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.
#Right/LeftHandedThings
O.o Oh, yeah, you are right! I didn't even noticed that....maybe because when I draw I feel it like if I was writing, I guess....I have drawn them to face to the left too, like the drawing in my avi, but I feel it more natural to the right....hehe, I saw the graphics I didn't use from my Ridley coasters and then I remembered I had to get them mirrored in PS...

The latest GameXplain Smash discussion video played Ridley's theme throughout at least half the episode. Hmm...
I have to say, Brawl's Ridley theme is pretty much the best, out of all versions. I wouldn't mind it at all if they decide to reuse it in Sm4sh.

I still think a direct airing on Metroid's anniversary is sooooooooo obvious, if Ridley is not in it will create false hope, and if he is it wont be a surprise because anyone that hasnt given up (there are a lot out there) will know about the date.
I can still see one happening next week (Id go with tuesday because of the MK8 update and to reveal the pokemon thing themselves)

The intro section before the percusion starts is ideal for his character screen in a trailer.

Dear god, that Multi Man Smash Theme just MELTS MY EARS. Such great Hype Music. Thank you based Sakurai.
Ridley had 2 themes in Brawl, his remix and his Meta theme, we know that we have Roidley theme, but what about the Brawley theme? I'd like it to return
Vs. Roidley theme confirmed :troll:

@Dalek_Kolt I'm having some technical dificulties...
Untitled.png

The lines are too thin...and don't see where I can change that, unlike Illustrator...I tried Illustrator, but I can't rotate the cursed canvas to make the drawing fit into it....

Yes please yessss.
Also, something I found a bit jarring is how Metaley's forehead is completely different in terms of texture and shape when you compare it to Brawley, despite one supposedly being turned into the other.

Okay, that expression is just priceless, ha ha.

I haven't experimenting much with the pen tool, I always use the pencil, but each their own.

Ever tried "Krita"? It's much easier to use than Ps is, since it's made for drawing and painting purposes. It's free.

...damn you, now i cant stop watching that video!

i'll never get to sleep, now!

*watches video for the hundredth time*

seriously, though... thanks for posting that video, im gonna listen to it every single day until ridley is confirmed. :love:

...ridley really should have played a bigger part in that song, why is a metroid singing the first part?
No problem, and because why not I guess, haha

I was trying to find an excuse to post that video after it had been shown to me a couple days ago. But I completely overlooked Ridley's appearance in it.
Yeah, I didn't notice him the first couple times, and I've actually been meaning to post it for awhile, I just forgot to for awhile.

=u= Heh...thanks...I guess?.
sigh....I'm so confused right now, Dalek tells me it is a good way to start digital art....but other say it is the worst......I traced the coasters without problem on Illustrator, but the damned canvas, and the options look different.....

I could try it! But PS is the one that most people uses...

Sakurai's POTD had a big list of songs, his comments were also very long. Lets review all of the POTDs from this week. 1: a big villain character assist trophy. 2: Samus(Zero Suit) in a new alt costume. 3: Villain(that was suggested through the trophy quiz). 4: Link in a RED SUIT(like Samus's suit) wandering around in a free roam maze area(like in the Metroid games). 5: The big POTD involving a BIG song list.
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!

I think it is a coincidence, but the anniversary MK tease isn't a coincidence. This week didn't really impact his chances anyway, right?

Grasping straws at its finest!
Also, that wasn't a list of songs, but a list of composers.

Ghirahim directly deconfirmed. The pattern remains consistent.

We did also end up with a fairly short list of music in the game including Ballad of the Goddess/Ghirahim's Theme, Battlefield and a few DK pieces such as Kongo Jungle (DK Rap) and a piece from DKCR.

But yes. Grasping at straws at it's best.

Well, as others have pointed out, Ghirahim's disconfirmation is consistent with Sakurai's usual method of disconfirming characters. And this character in particular was actually a very popular request for the game, yet his disconfirmation was no more special than Brittany's. Although it's just reinforcing what we already knew, it's a boost to Ridley's chances regardless.

Also, we've gone another whole weak without a mention of Ridley or the Pyrosphere. The longer we go without any official word, the better.

Well, Meta Knight DID pop up on the Pyrosphere. Which was still devoid of Ridley.

Daily reminder that Ridley's chances are 100%. Those of you espousing any difference in probability are to report to High Command for deprogramming and summary execution. :evil:

Music PotD is... disappointing. There's a line between trolling and unnecessary cruelty, and Sack of Rice clearly just ran past it, screaming, with scissors. :glare:

Nah dude, it's pretty cool. Brawl had a stellar soundtrack, and this PotD was a reminded that Sm4sh is going to be no different in that department.

Roidley: "Hey, Big Bro, what are you doing?"

Ridley: " ♪...Ah, porque estou tão sozinho?...♫ (Ah, why am I so alone?)"

Roidley: "Big Bro? Are you...singing?"

Ridley: "♪...ah, porque tudo e tão triste?...♫ (Ah, why is everything so sad?)"

Roidley: "Big Bro!"

Ridley: " ♪...ah, a beleza que existe
a beleza que não é só minha
que também passa sozinha...♫ (Ah, the beauty that exists
The beauty that is not only mine
That also goes by alone)"

Roidley: "BIG BRO! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!"

Ridley: "No."

Roidley: "...sniff..."

A Random Idea I had while listening again to the Original version of the Girl from Ipanema.

I say we are so close to a direct but not jumping on that

And as for the 20th picture are you talking about the miiverse one

Or the one on nintendo of europe (this one is a repeat preformance of last week with meta knight.)

Nintendo one, that was the only one that has anything Ridley related
Heh, now I kind of wish I had a good mic, so that I could do a little manga dialogue voice-over. Well, I can't make my voice rumble, but by Thor can I do a good villainous laugh.
Ah, so it's someone who did a voice over
EDIT: According to Eisendrachen, it's a Toku Kaiju
