Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

I'm almost certain this video was brought up before, since this thread is VERY thorough when it comes to new things involving Ridley. I am also certain that what this guy talks about has been discussed already, despite claiming it hasn't been discussed before, since again, you guys are so thorough.

But, on the off chance that someone hasn't posted this (I'd look through to check but this thread is so massive it would take me several hours to make sure it wasn't mentioned in passing), I'm going to leave it here, if only just for ****z and giggles:


Now, I've heard the "Ridley grabs Pikachu" thing, but I always assumed he did so after he starts to fly off-screen. Instead, he does it while still on-screen, which I never realized. It sounds like this guy's thoroughly convinced, and I certainly am convinced, but I know enough people are willing to dismiss it or play the Devil's advocate on this to dampen and potential hype this might have... especially considering this was released several MONTHS after the initial Nintendo Direct.
Apparently the "Pikachu" is Ridley's legs and tail being distorted due to the ground the shadow lands on. It can't be 100% proven I guess, but these guys are the experts.

Ridley is awesome!!!! Anthony Higgs suck!
I actually don't mind Anthony, he's one of the better things from Other M. While I'm sure we are getting Ridley as the new Metroid rep, I wouldn't mind if we got Anthony too, but then again that's out of the question now, he'll probably be an assist Trophy. Maybe in the next game we'll get him as well to join Samus and Ridley, but until now I'll be fine with just Ridley as the new one.

For real though guys, we really should try to cut down on off-topic posts. We've still got another six days before the game's released. At this rate, the thread'll overload long before then. Especially since posts will likely pick up as we get closer to release.

@SmashWarrior202 That's been posted before and discussed at length. The general consensus is divided between "yup, he grabs Pikachu" and "it's not Pikachu at all, that's obvoiusly Ridley's feet and tail" (which is likely the real one).

If it's Pikachu, cool. +1 for playable evidence. If not, then oh well. I'm still hoping that he might be carrying the baby Metroid for some reason though I'm doubtful now

this couldn't get any faker even if it tried
Just add Goku and a photoshop of Brawl Ridley's render colored blue and it is now faker.

EDIT: The day anthony is one of the better things in Other M is the day that bluescreens are the better part of writing on a computer.

With the 3ds version about to be released and only one week left before release...it seems that Ridley did manage to survive 1 year without being deconfirmed, I'll take that as a good hint

Now seems to be the best time to self advertise.

I don't do it too often, but trust me, when I do it, it's like it never happened. None of you will remember the events that took place today.

Enjoy!

Guys, I'm a friend of the ESRB guy you all know (the one that gave you previously the leaked screens about the character roster with Duck hunt dog, Dark pit, Dr. Mario, etc.). For obvious reasons he won't do it himself (he already got in trouble for leaking all that stuff in the end…), so he sent me this picture for you all, I hope you enjoy it. This is the last one you will get, so don't ask about anything more please. Peace.

Anthony can eat male equine anatomy, we're getting Ridley, then we're getting Sylux and/or Dark Samus, and that'll be the end of playable candidates from Metroid. :glare:

This looks off for multiple reasons. I ain't buying it.

Well, if legitimate then we shall see when the game comes out. For now, let's just keep this under wraps until more evidences supports this. Not sure what to say about the design, can someone check to see if it comes from another source?

Edit:

Also I advise people to not start false hype, doing so will grant this place perma-locked. So please, handle your comments with care and don't spam this thread with pointless hype until further proof of this pic.

Well, it looks good... But it doesn't really look like Smash.

I'm not buying it until I see something a little more concrete.

A part of me is telling that this is an obvious fake, while another is saying that I've never seen this image of Ridley on the internet before, and it's one of the more convincing Ridley leaks I've seen.. I'm leaning towards this being fake, but who knows. Anyways, it won't matter, he'll either be confirmed before launch, or after through jp players leaks, so I'm not worried. :-)

Unsure of whether to say I'm hella hyped, or if to say it's fake. I'm leaning on 'fake', but it's extremely well made.

Congrats on 100 posts.

Also, that is most definitely a 2D picture as opposed to a 3D render.

I think it's fake. It doesn't look like something made by the team. It looks a bit off with coloring and style.

Keep in mind, people CAN make fake images of characters *cough Ness, Palutena, Falco cough* so this still can (and most likely is) fake. But let's hope for the best, but I will doubt it anyway until vid proof or Sakurai confirms it himself.

I saw this too, but look close - the shape of the eye, teeth and jaw are a bit different. It's a different image.

This is one of the best renders of Ridley i ever saw, but it is fake and replaces Bowser (i think) from actual leak. Could someone show full render? I REALLY WANT TO SEE IT! Or full image if it is not a render. I REALLY want to believe it, but i won't until i will see more than 1 image like this one. It doesn't really looks like that statue/figure someone posted. Close, but not exactly same. Could be a hybrid model or something, i dunno. I think it is fake anyway. Still want to know source of the image used for that render. It also looks kinda empty compared to other CSS large images/renders. F**k it as a leak if it is fake, but there is GREAT image used. Please, someone, find original image! If someone made a model that is rigged, please, send it to me or something. I want to have THIS in my project right now!

This - while it looks good, it doesn't look smash.

Also, that trailer post is fake too. They definitely won't reference Ridley's size in his splash text, lol.
