Ok, I'm gonna list my honest-100%-no bullcrap opinions on Ridley, good, bad, and ugly.
-I think Ridley will be one of the 5 remaining characters
-I would put Ridley at about 80% of being playable
-I think this game is Ridley's last chance, if Ridley's not playable, Ridley will probably never be playable until Sakurai steps down from the series
-I'm more concerned about Ridley being too floaty rather than being too slow
-Ridley being a boss wouldn't surprise me that much, but I'd still be pretty disappointed
-Part of me wants Ridley to be in just to see the internet explode
-Roidley's design never bothered me
-I wouldn't mind Meta Ridley as a final smash, I always thought transformation final smashes were easily the best ones
-I don't think DLC is an option for Ridley, either he's in the game's initial roster or he's a boss
-Ridley passed Mewtwo as my most wanted unannounced newcomer
-I joined Smashboards just to post in this thread

You and me both, buddy.
Actually, I think a lot of frequent posters joined smash boards just for this thread alone, that alone is a pretty big accomplishment from this thread. And that's why I love it.

All right, stop. There's too much off topic talk going on here. Anything that isn't directly Ridley needs to go to pm or their respective thread. Reports will happen if people bring anymore off-topic discussion.

I agree with all of these. Ridley may not get another chance.

My first post was here as well. VGBC kept advertising Smashboards, so I was like "why the hell not?", browsed around, saw the Ridley thread and was like "hell yes."

I'm not someone who's super-attached to Ridley in general, but I'm rooting for him really hard. I don't think there's been a Smash Bros fighter who has ever generated this much discussion or hype. Look at the amount of pages this thread has reached, and then look at everything else. Yeah.

Plus, I think you guys have been through enough, haha. So here's hoping.

Thanks man. I think all this time waiting (13 years for some of us!) is going to pay off real soon. And it will the greatest smash celebration ever.

Everything here also applies to me, especially that last one.

^u^ I agree with everything...but with one exception that is about Roidley, the design bothered me at the very beginning when it first was shown in 2009....it was in this year when I started to grow soft to Roidley....I find him lovely now.

Ridley: "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"

Roidley: "Wheeee! she loves me!"

Even if it isn't my silly version of Roidley, I like him. Not as much as the Original one and his other forms of course...

If nothing else, at least the Ridley discussion kept plenty of people (both pro-Ridley and anti-Ridley) entertained/distracted while waiting for the release of Smash 4.

It would make for a much better story if Ridley ended up being in, though.

For Ridley fans, let's hope this ends up with the same ending as Dodgeball, where in terms of videogames, the Ridley fans truly are the true underdogs here. Anything could happen at this point, and although I may be neutral, I would like to see the many Ridley fans be happy for their character becoming playable. They've waited so long, it almost feels like a part of their soul would be destroyed if he didn't make it in.

Man oh man. No character spurs speculation and discussion like Ridley. It's been an honor folks but we're on the home stretch, hype is high, and maybe 13 years will finally pay off.

I only joined this site for Ridley, everything else is a side dish, but of course once Ridley is revealed playable or boss then I will spontaneously combust. Thank you for the sometimes bumpy ride, so glad to here about the 100% confirmation of the roster not being final.

Emotional Ridley time! D:

Seriously though, joined just to take part in this crazy roller coaster ride. Really, REALLY hoping he's playable... the home stretch is upon us.

If he is in, the haters/detractor reactions will be glorious!
I want him in so bad to see the "I was wrong" shokio video. Oh yes, it will be funny as hell.

With BitF coming to an end soon, clearly starting our own "Ridley in the Smash" comic starring Ridley and the cast of Smash 4 is the best way to continue supporting Ridley once the game launches.

Well my fellow Ridley supporters this is the home stretch only 5 POTD's left. Hopefully we get our Ridley soon. I want Sakurai to reveal it. I really don't want some people from Japan spilling the beans first!.

RIDLEY RIDLEY RIDLEY!! :happysheep::bluejump:

I really just want this to be over. Honestly, Ridley speculation is truely Mr. Sakurai's wild ride, and my overall stress level has definitely gone up since I started being a supporter due to the intense anticipation.

I have a feeling I'll be listening to various versions and remixes of Ridley's theme until this is all over once and for all. Sigh... -plays Super Metroid-

I personally can't wait to see all of the replies in the "Official Ridley 'I Was Wrong' Thread" :troll:

If we are all getting emotional right now, I might as well say my piece.

I joined this community to (mainly) show my support for Ridley's inclusion, though I have found much more.
I have been a part of many game communities, but none has made me feel more of a part of it than the smash community. Regardless of whether Ridley is in or not, I hope to remain an active member of this great nation community.
Space Pirates, Kremlings, Ylissian Soldiers, Mushroom Kingdomians, Spiral Mountaineers, Hylians, and Smashers of all kinds, thank you all.
Love,
Ridles The Space Pirate

I await the inevitable "I secretly wanted him the entire time" from detractors.

Yeah, don't give me that crap.

You know....I'm so grateful to this thread and all the people in it. If it wasn't for it, I wouldn't have come up with my best concepts with Ridley that are:

The most adorable/funny/abusive brotherly love/hate relationship ( the Ridley and Roidley interactions.)

The fanciest Ridley alive (Catrin Ridley.)

The BEST Ridley ship (Ridley and Rosalina -Ridsalina.)

And the others like my Ridley coasters, Assassin Ridley (that helped me to develop a bit more my concept with Rayman and the Assassins) and the costumes for Rids and stuff....I wish I could remember what else I have done with him....
