Isn't that completely counter-productive? It should be the EXACT OPPOSITE. Japan isn't Ridley crazy, so they wouldn't announce him in the Direct. If anything he should be in the Media Event. Now, K. Rool would be a better pick to be announced in the Direct. He's popular worldwide (although even then, because he is popular worldwide it'd probably be best to announce him worldwide at the same time).
im sure nintendo and/or sakurai knows about all the chaos that goes around in the west about ridley, so maybe they would think it would cause less chaos if he was revealed then. idk thats what i think

Yeah, sorry, but I think they'd WANT people to go crazy over a Ridley announcement. More hype = more sales. Simple enough, really.

well thats one way to see the message. yes there would be more hype for ridley, but there would also be more hate since there are quite a lot of ridley haters as im sure we all know.

I just need confirmation of Ridley and Game and Watch. I doubt they will announce him in the direct tomorrow unless it turns out to be in the west too, then i guess it could make since. I just need to know he is in. I hope if (when) he gets announced his move set isn't terrible.

Now we all want ridley in the direct but what if he's not there?
What I'm saying is we can't get too hyped up or well all could get broken down.So let's do are best to calm down a little bit.

Nintendo is holding a closed media event for Smash 3DS with a new (final?) build of the game at PAX. Could we get a Ridley announcement just like we did with Pac-Man at E3? I hope so because August is the perfect month to announce Ridley. :awesome:

One page late but...

1700 pages. 300 pages to Crashboard 2.0 sequence. Samus has made the halfway mark from escaping thread termination.

Also I forgot to reply to this;

[collapse=Totally Ridley]
[/collapse]

If this character doesn't have Gilbert Gottfried's voice, I'll be highly disappointed.

So we have a 3DS direct tomorrow for Japan. If by chance it does have something smash related, Sakurai wouldn't leave the west hanging like that. That's why we're having a closed door conference about smash at PAX. Now that we're having that conference about smash, Sakurai wouldn't leave his country hanging like that, so therefore the Japanese 3DS direct will have something smash related. It goes both ways :b:.

I have no clue why, but if he's revealing certain character to different regions based on their popularity...then we may get a certain someonnnneeee ;)

So wait there having a closed door Smash Bros. thing at PAX? When is this? I don't have my hopes particularly high for a Ridley reveal tomorrow (actually I barely expect a reveal at all, but I'm going to most definitely be watching anyway). But a closed door event in the US? That holds much more potential for something like a new character reveal, specifically a Ridley one. I know I shouldn't expect it, but I'm probably going to anyway.

Inthink thats a fate because before release it could be the week of character reveals

(But thats way to optimistic.)

Oh please, everyone knows that Andrea still hasn't caught me yet. :p

At any rate, to make it official:
Ridley X Isabelle?



^Confirmation that Andrea only hates it when I ship things, I guess. :laugh:
We shall call it "Risabelle".

Also, even if the direct is in japanese only, we can still watch it to see if the Commander is in.

What site do we go to in order to catch a Japanese Nintendo Direct?

Wait seriously? An english one? The only announcements I saw was for a Japanese one...7AM seems a bit too early for us.
7-AM is when the Japanese one is airing, just adjusted for time zones. @ Blackflamedragon Blackflamedragon was saying we could catch it when it shows up, I think.

No, we don't. You can't really tell which design exactly is used since that shadow is distorted enough to make it hard to see Ridley's head. But his flying animation is certainly exactly same as in Other M, but not as smooth/fluid/whatever.
If it IS Conceptley, then this game will not be worth buying for me (i have Brawl and Brawl hacks, so, it will be just my first HD/WiiU/3DS game and not must-have game) just like in case there is no playable Ridley.
I'm pretty sure that I saw the wings have a curve in them, and only Concept art Ridley had that curve. And Really? Not worth buying because of the design? We should be happy enough that he is playable, so let's not complain about the design just yet. And besides, the concept design is way better than what we got in Other M. Especially the head.

But Nintendo didn't schedule PAX, they're just going to be there. That just seems purely coincidental.
Well, if Ridley is announced, they'd be the ones who decided to announce him there because its between the US/Japanese releases of Other M. There's all kinds of events and times they could've announce him, it just so happens that one major event they are attending is set at the perfect time. Doesn't necessarily mean much, but it is something interesting.

They didn't have behind closed doors events for Smash Bros. at Gamescom or Comiccon.


... Well i don't know what to say guys, the Titan has fallen, i don't even want you to look at 4chan right now, for everyone's sake.
I don't see anything on 4chan.

If Ridley is to be revealed before launch, it will probably be in some independent Smash trailer made to advertise the 3DS game's launch, where he could be revealed alongside other newcomers.

It's practically a given that we have only one more trailer left, so why not go out with a bang?

What are you talking about?
"... Well i don't know what to say guys, the Titan has fallen, i don't even want you to look at 4chan right now, for everyone's sake."


You obviously found SOMETHING Ridley related. Probably turned out to be another fake, though, huh?

The implication is somehow a 4chan leak deconfirms Ridley, but I didn't see anything with a quick glance. I'm not sure what's going on.
See, this leak crap is why I hate them. Can people just let Sakurai handle deconfirmations and stop bringing up stuff from a mostly unreliable source?

If you seriously believe anything coming off 4chan over the massive pile of evidence we've accrued here FROM THE ACTUAL DEVS, there's a part of me thinking you could use a massive shock to your system right now.

Would you guys be ok with Hades riding Ridley like a FE wyvern rider?
...isn't Hades supposed to be 50 feet tall or something?

Poor Ridley would get crushed under his weight. :c

Everyone should follow this advice. ****ING IGNORE 4CHAN! They troll all the time. Legit leaks come up, but VERY rarely. Especially in regards to Ridley.

No, because Hades will not and should not be playable. We've got enough KI representation.


...that should be Isaac instead. :D

He's a God or whatever, he can change his size at a whim. Same goes for Palutena. Granted, yeah, he COULD crush Ridley if he wanted to.

I'd be ok, with it, I guess.

But there are so many characters I'd rather see. Samus and Ridley combo. Robin and Ridley (Dragons of Destruction). Villager and Ridley.

They can face off against a combo of Yoshi + Rider.
