Ridley IS from Samus' past, as is Kraid. He's just as likely to be a hazard as Kraid. BUT, Ridley should and could be his own unique character.

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.
He would just be a nice space dragon who loves to fish and play the piano, building this city on rock and roll with Zelda, Wolf, and Daroach.

Big emphasis on SHOULD...the monster should be either Mother Brain, Kraid, Phantoon, that ugly-ass Lava Monster...but Ridley needs to be a character, Sakurai! A CHARACTER!

FurRidley would be a huge slap in the face to fans, it's not iconic and it's not the character we're asking for. Other M was an abomination.

It wouldn't even make SENSE. A lot of people want Ridley in one of the facts of him being able to float as well and glide.
Man, I really should get to watching Regular Show again.
Same.

Reassuring thought

The "enemy from Samus's past" is rising lava/acid?

Can someone think of a notable villain from Samus's past aside from Ridley?

Seriously...now that I'm thinking about it, Mother Brain as a goddamn stage hazard would rock so much!

There really are no other notable ones, not one that goes as long back at least. Ridley is without a doubt the one he's referring to.

In either case, no matter what Ridley's role turns out to be it'll be a first from Sakurai's side. Sakurai has never hinted so strongly at a newcomer before, but neither has he outright confirmed something like a stage hazard without showing it in action at the same time. It's really all so confusing, it'll be good to get a night's sleep on top of all this.

Well he kinda hinted at the yellow devil being a stage hazard, right ?

Kraid is hardly notable, he's appeared in three Metroid games with one being a remake and has little history with Samus herself. You're honestly fooling yourself if you think this enemy from Samus's past is not Ridley.

But that went the other way around. If Ridley is a stage hazard then he literally confirms it without showing, which is a first. With Yellow Devil we know that he is in the game, but we're not totally sure on his role, even if he's most likely a stage hazard.

It would be awesome, and I want a stage based on Mother Brain's room from Metroid and Super Metroid.

I'd rather have ANYTHING as a hazard on this new Other M stage than Ridley.

Dang, it really does look like Sakurai is referencing to Ridley. I wanted to believe it was Mother Brain, but turns out it isn't considering that Mother Brain only got cameos in Metroid: Other M.

The wait is going to be painful for Metroid fans.

The true enemy from Samus's past is not Ridley at all. Rather, it's the galactic federation's poor mental healthcare program that left Samus unable to manage her sudden bouts of PTSD.

If the enemy from Samus' past turns out to be rising acid, I will cry while laughing hard for so long.

Kind of like how Luigi does at the end of Luigi's Mansion.
