Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Bedoop]

What do you think about my theory of a Ridley/Ness trailer this week?

Either we're getting a direct or a JUST A TRAILER.

I think everyone is forgetting another game that released on August 26th, 2002 in North America.
'Tis an Amazing game.
Super Mario SUNSHINE, BIZNATCHES!
Ness/Ridley/Bowser Jr. trailer still confirmed. *keeps straw grasping*
EDIT: Ohwait, Bowser Jr. exists.

 

[WayfaringElf]

These are the two we should be looking at, people. The Smash Bros. Direct 10 days or so before release. Exactly the way Ganondorf was revealed for Hyrule Warriors.

I think we'll get a newcomer alongside Ness this week, but not Ridley.

Other M is too predictbale of an anniversary for Sakurai.

 

[Storm Eagle]

I feel it! Pls let it be this week! All this speculation! 1649 pages full of it! It has to stop!

 

[Skyblade12]

Other M is too predictbale of an anniversary for Sakurai.

Why would they tease for over a year and not drop the reveal directly before release?

 

[Eisendrachen]

Lack of conviction detected. Please wash your neck and wait in your assigned cubicle for the sentence from High Command.

"Realistic" or not, We have three important anniversaries this very week, plus one not so important one that supports getting any trailer at all. We're in this week, five days, our worst-case scenario should be a trailer/Direct being announced for next week. For the sake of morale, yeah?

 

[Blackflamedragon]

To laugh at our sorrow

 

[WayfaringElf]

Being realistic doesn't work with Sakurai. He's purely fictional.

 

[Exegguter]

You guys! Only three more weeks 'till we know the final roster and only 15 Potd left before the Ridley-debate will come to an end. Maybe even sooner!

I've had it to be honest and I'm ready yo.

 

[classix410]

Sakurai could reveal no new characters this week....I don't put it pass him.
Or he could surprise us no telling .....hard to predict with this guy.

 

[Skyblade12]

Oh, please. I've been one of the most dead-set supporters in here. I'm one of only a few who didn't even crack a shimmer of doubt with the big magazine and translation misunderstandings. Ridley is GOING to be in the game. Period.

We're just not learning about him until right before release.

We're getting a Direct this week, and it is going to reveal a different newcomer. Likely Shulk or Isaac (both of whom are RPG characters who would fit well with Ness). Impa as the next possibility (because of the trophy tease). Ridley will come on the 2nd or 3rd, the anniversary of the most recent game, and the final reveal directly before the release of Smash 4.

Asking again because I'm worried.

The writing in these scans, were they written by developers?
Specifically this:
"1. It's a stage surrounded by scorching heat and lava. It's a relatively simple layout with one main floating platform with a few smaller platforms above it, but there seems to be the shadow of "something" giant...? 2,3. The more detailed information on the tricks of this stage are still unclear, but this is not actually such a simple stage."
Seriously, what the **** is this?

It's just writer mumble jumble don't worry about it.

I can feel the debate ending this week. I CAN FEEL IT.

 

[Blackflamedragon]

I can feel the debate ending this week. I CAN FEEL IT.

I hope so

 

[SS-bros14]

I think this is it:

Metroid (August 6th 1986 JP, August 15th 1987 NA)
Metroid II: Return of Samus (August 26th, 1991 NA)
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (August 27th, 2007 NA)
Metroid Prime Trilogy (August 24, 2009 NA)
Metroid: Other M (August 31st, 2010 NA)


I took it from the bottom of the 2nd post in this topic.

Obvious credit where it is due.

Also, I apologize if I offended anyone earlier since I tend to word things very poorly at times. If things don't work out for Ridley, we can always do things like write to them (we could all come up with some sort of base letter like Operation Rainfall did in the past).

I think the 26th would probably be it.

Robin was not revealed on the anniversary of the most recent game, neither was falcon, nor mac. Trailers don't have a theme, they just work around the characters in it. Isaac (I'm not sure, if I'm wrong tell me) or shulk has an anniversary this week. Ridley and ness do.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Metroid II's anniversary? I dunno, it's one out of three Metroid games where Ridley actually doesn't appear in, might aswell wait one day then for Prime 3's anniversary if anything where he appears as a boss twice.

Well I can taste it.

 

[SS-bros14]

In that case, the 30th? That'd make sense, with Other M that came out then and everything.

 

[Skyblade12]

In the US. When it makes so much more sense to do it on the 2nd, the Japanese release date, which also lets them use it as a final reveal bomb before launch.

 

[Vintage Creep]

Ridley beliebers and toobigots are like two armies who fought relentlessly for a whole year, and now they're both exhausted, maimed, dead. Nobody won. Only a person still stands: Sakurai.

Meh, IMO it'd make more sense to reveal him the day Other M FIRST came out.

 

[BlueBubbee]

Other M is too predictbale of an anniversary for Sakurai.

Ike was revealed on May 23rd. That is the US Release Date of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. (Ike had nothing to do with that game, oddly).

https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKlvophYIQ

Nothing is entirely out of the question yet, even release dates that aren't Japanese. I'd go to say anything's possible now. It's Sakurai's last chance to blow everyone away, and what better way than with Ridley.

 

[SmilingMad]

What? No, we're still fighting! See? Swing swoosh pew argue! Ur moma lole!!! Not too big!!!
...Was that convincing enough?

Also, both 27th and 31th seem very likely. Let's just hope they go and announce that damn direct already. Just about anything would help right now.

Editing this again. PAL release date on the 3rd makes the most sense. 10 days before release, and one month before US release. That's when we're most likely to get the final Smash Bros. Direct. Which will end with the Ridley trailer.

Reggie still needs to convince Sakurai to do the ALS Ice Bucket challenge with him so it can be all the funnier when the Ice Climbers get confirmed.

As part of $20 Cut Veteran DLC pack released for 3DS when the Wii U version launched.

Yes, we did forget about it. For very good reason.

Heh. Some of us really have been waiting for years!

 

[WayfaringElf]

Any time man, I'm the avatar guy.

 

[Bravetriforcer]

Anywhere from 7 to 13 years.

For me it was about 6 months. :|

 

[BlueBubbee]

I just need to remind everyone here of how much hype he caused when people saw him in the Melee Intro at E3.

All of that is for Ridley. All of it. And then everyone was let down.

I can't wait the hear the reaction when that splash art comes down making a size joke

I'm pretty sure a lot of it was the fact Metroid had been completely snubbed in the N64 era, and people worried Metroid was going to be shelved. By extension there was worry she'd never be back in a potential Smash Bros sequel.

Then again, the surprise of Samus coming back AND Ridley being a newcomer (Or so it seemed) would have bee overall pretty hype too.

I dids not hear anything when samus showed up, only Rodlie

 

[AuraShaman]

I remember a guy on Miiverse who says he's gonna be right about Ridley being a boss because he predicted and ........ Okay, I can understand Pac-Man, but I'm calling bull-- on Toon Link!

 

[Shinru202]

Robin wasn't revealed on any Fire Emblem anniversary.

But I believe that Ike was announced on the anniversary of Fire Emblem - Sacred Stones....even though Ike was not in the game.

Tsk.....Got 'd

 

[Bravetriforcer]

That was the delay between seeing Samus on screen and it clicking in their minds that "OH BALLS THEY ACTUALLY KEPT SAMUS AND OH WOW METROID GOT RIDLEY TOO!"

Samus was just as hype as Ridley in that trailer taking Metroid's being ignored for years into account.
