Our best hope is hoping someone leaks the roster.
Well... I dunno how likely it is to leak this early... previously it leaked in the months before release, not the year. And even if it did leak... we probably wouldn't believe it (or at least not above any other "leaked" roster).

Think about it, if pre-E3 someone had leaked a roster with Villager and WFT, and without Ridley, would you have believed them?

I'd take it with a grain of salt but I wouldn't dismiss it.

I'm going to say something here.



Ridley was in the original Super Smash Bros. as a stage cameo.


Ridley was in Melee's opening and was also a trophy.


Ridley was in Brawl in several ways (a boss 4 TIMES, trophy, sticker)


His roles get bigger every time. He's not going to be reverted to a mere stage hazard.
^ That it would be really lame, to show Ridley from being a big boss in Brawl to a stage hazard, for me it would be like downplay the character and his history. So someone was saying that maybe in this week or in Pax we could get a character reveal, for me is in the possibilities for a simple reason if Ridley is most wanted character in the west why not reveal him in one of the big stages of video games that happens in the west to excite more the fans than instead reveal him in Japan.

That's how I am for Ridley and Porky Minch. I honestly couldn't care about Rayquaza or Petey Piranha, because they have minor roles in their own universe. BUT those two are the big baddies of their respective universe... it would be injustice to do such a thing.

Meh.... Just stop posting until Ridley is confirmed/disconfirmed.

All this whining and pessimism is seriously unneeded. You don't see Oasis or JohnKnight or anyone else for that matter posting like that, although they are almost as much invested in Ridley.
I got the RIDLEY SMASH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BELT, and I'm not whining, I am confident this is the first sign of victory.

I said I'd shave my head the day Ridley is confirmed, and I shaved my head before that update!

Guys, that omen all but confirms Ridley according to the rules of man head shaving. It's just a scientific hokey-pokey (turn yourself around) FACT!!!

Those are the reasons I don't think this is a character reveal. Three times has Ridley been 'teased' and three times has he been unplayable. I don't believe in 'patterns' in SSB, but the difference is that no other characters get these hints and teases. Ridley is unique in that and it seperates him from the characters that do make playable.
Yes, the fact all the other characters would all inevitably add less to the game than Ridley makes them more worthy.

Clearly, your GameFAQs logic doesn't fail you.

Annnnnnnnnd I was right.

The thread is flooding.

This.

They didn't make Bowser or Ganondorf a boss or mere hazard, why would they do that to Ridley?

Porky, I don't mind personally, at least as a boss. It'd be a massive shame to make the main villain from a series a hazard.

It really is sad seeing so many people everywhere literally saying that Ridley is confirmed as a stage hazard. I honestly still think it can go either way, my opinion hasn't changed on that since I first saw the caption.

Just use John's shaved head as a counter-argument to all people who believe that Ridley is a stage hazard.

Not EVERYONE thinks it. I'm checking the thread constantly to talk with people while my also-eager brother plays Minecraft whistling VS. Ridley. We're dedicated.

Agree that's one reason that the sakurai quote about the stage about Ridley makes it likly for playable than stage hazard. And its sad how people jump to conclusions about that quote and picture everyone thinks its going to deconfirmed Ridley or be a stage hazard. And not even thinking about it being playable all because of that Ridley is too big agreement

YES!!! BELIEVE IN THE SHAVED HEAD!!!

I'll post pics once my allergic reaction to my shaver caused swelling and stuff goes away!!! :chuckle:

My head is even more sensitive to that than my face!!! :rotfl: :urg: :ohwell:
John, are you responding to these posts as you read them?
The champ responds to them however the champ feels fit to respond to them.
I'll be honest. I'll be extremely disappointed if Ridley doesn't make it. Really, I will be. But hopefully there will be reveals that offset my disappointment. I'm sure the game will be great anyway.
I'll be disappointed Ridley won't be in, but honestly, if either game is crap like Brawl again, it will be no-a-buy for me.

WRONG! Obviously we'll see Kraid be the character!



wait a minute... "an enemy from Samus' past"... WHY HAVEN'T WE THOUGHT OF THIS? KRAID IS THE STAGE HAZARD ON PYROSPHERE!

Sakurai's playing us for fanatic flaming fools.

Kraid hasn't appeared in a Metroid game since Super, I'm pretty sure, I know he was cut from Prime.

That would be Vorash, but it's not in the Pyrosphere.

Yes, that was indeed the point. From Samus' past. And also, wasn't Kraid a stage hazard in Melee?

Obviously that's the PAST part.

I mean, Ridley's been in almost every game even in the present. He's not much of a "character from samus' past" now is he>

Wow, I actually made a post which made people think intelligently about Sakurai's wording... how will I follow it up?

Technically he still is.

He would have never been an enemy of Samus at all if he and the space pirates didn't invade her home and murder her parents.

Yes....yes he is. Just because he's a foe she has faced on several occasions does not mean he isn't from her past, considering everything he has done to her and the countless fights they've had. Kraid isn't even present in Other M anyhow.

Well, it's a different Ridley. Doesn't even know who Samus is
