Ok, confession time. I want to tell you all the main reason why I support Ridley for ssb4. I'll put it in spoilers because it might not be a story a lot of people want to know.

Yeah, I think Ridley is cool, and deserves it and all that, but the reason I want him in is more for my brother. He was dead set that Ridley was going to be in brawl, and at the time I was a toobiggot. The last time I ever talked to him, he told me Ridley would definately be in brawl, and I laughed at him and said it would never happen. He then told me "we'll see." and then he left in the car and died in a crash. Later on, I was diagnosed with a disease called Pemphigus. It's not one most people have heard of, so look it up if you must, but I warn you it is fairly disturbing. You all can just say "well, let's just hope he's in smash 5" if he gets deconfirmed, but I will never get to play smash 5. I'll be lucky if I make it to next summer. When this thread convinced me Ridley was viable, I decided I wanted him in for my brother. He never got to see Ridley in smash, and died believing he was already in, and that being the last thing we talked about, I want to see Ridley in smash before I go as well. Ridley in smash isn't a joke to me. That's why I hate smug detractors who simply laugh at the idea and move on, becuase that's the last thing I did with my brother. I laughed and moved on, and it hurts to see others making the same mistake. It's why I hate stupid memes making fun of Ridley fans, why I hate all these tricks and mindgames, and why he is my most wanted character in smash. I want to make sure he's in so I can tell my brother he was right in the afterlife. This is all I want from smash bros. 4. Think of it as a final request of sorts. Here's hoping he finally makes it this time.

I'm so so sorry to hear that man.....we can only hope that he makes it this time so you can experience playing him. Thank you for being so brave to open up to us like that. Damn dude, I was getting teary eyed reading that.

That's....damn. That's one of the worst ways to have someone go. You have one of the best reasons to have him in.

Oh wow...I just can't believe we will also end up losing a supporter. I thought my life could be sh*tty at times, but you sir(or madam) really made me want to cry. I hope you will end up satisfied before death. I salute you, not for being a supporter, not for being a friend, but for being a great sibling

Apparently All-Star was shown in a Japanese commercial, but there's no Ridley in sight for the 1985-1986 section. Then again, Pit isn't on there either, so I have no idea how this is supposed to be organized.
Click to expand...
Woo, this makes me nervous. Here's what I see, JP release dates:
:rob:: Jul. 26, 1985
:4peach::4bowser:: Sep. 13, 1985 (Mario is 1981, Luigi is 1983)
:4link::4zelda:: Feb. 21, 1986 (Ganondorf and Sheik debuted in OoT, 1997)
:4samus:: Aug 6, 1986 (Zero suit debuted 2004)
:4pit::4palutena:: Dec 18, 1986

So the exclution of Pit, Palutena, and ROB don't mean anything since they're on either side of the window, and Ganon was only a boar-monster until he became human (and was renamed Ganondorf) in 1997. I can only hope that they were smart enough to hide Ridley, or that there's a 5-character limit so he'd be on the next page.

That's really touching. I hope he gets in for you and your brother. Really sorry to hear what happened. I know the feeling of losing someone and it's the absolute worst. Here's to Ridley for Smash 4 for you and your brother.

My deepest condolences brother, don't listen to them, they only say that because they find Ridley ridiculous because they think he will be too big and impossible to balance. But don't worry I see quite the opposite, I know a trained animator can make him look amazing and reasonable at the same time, because Bowser is huge and Ridley deserves to be the largest character in the game for his history and accomplishments of being a villain since the 80's. To be a little bit bigger than Bowser is completely reasonable. I hope you enjoy your time left on Earth and find inner peace within yourself despite the sins of humanity. Best wishes man

I love the amount of support everyone's giving, it shows that there are some genuinely nice people in the world.

But does anyone have a link to Derrik's twitter? In case he is live tweeting?

Alright, now I'm really hoping for the Ridley trailer at the event. It has to happen soon, because while I'm basicly garunteed to make it to release and for some time after, but I could technically keel over any day, so I get more and more worried every day we don't see Ridley. Here's hoping we see him at the event today!

I don't believe Derrick is even at PAX. In their Shulk/New 3DS discussion video, they mentioned that Ash was there.

Oh, well I know Andre and Tom are there too, because of the Pokemon Art Academy video. Either way, someone will live-tweet it.

Here's to hoping for Ridley.

Ay. And should you breathe your last anyway at some unexpected moment, I really hope you meet your bro again. It's been a long while either way, and we're all getting sick of this wait. The worst thing that could happen right now is that we all die of sheer boredom.

Wait, is there a thing going on? Are people actually expecting more news on the same day Shulk was announced?

I wouldn't hold my breath guys. At this point, if Ridley is playable, he definitely won't be revealed before the game comes out. I don't think there are going to be any new character reveals before the game comes out. We can do two weeks. We've done more.

I guess the Xenoblade Chronicles "New" 3DS port may count in Sakurai's eyes. Bloody "New" ruining my dreams...
Click to expand...
I seriously doubt Sakurai knew about the 3DS remake of Xenoblade during SSB4's development. He would have most likely heard about it after the stage concept for Gaur Plains was finalized and completed for both versions, along with Shulk.

Again, the Pyrosphere made an appearance in a 3DS fighting game, which was meant to advertise Metroid Other M. Why wouldn't it make another appearance in the 3DS version of Smash, assuming that Ridley's still a stage hazard?

I definitely don't expect anything, but some people do. It wouldn't hurt to read the live tweet feeds, though. Nice to know about new games and all. But yeah, don't get your hopes up.

I agree with you, nobody get your hopes up.

That actually isn't possible because of his size. There actually is a piece of canon that makes it impossible for him, something not even the ignore-canon rule can stop.

There is actually a dude behind that mask there, shrinking him down would mean there is actually a very small human in the mech suit.
