Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Bravetriforcer]

Wait, what? That's a thing?
...Does this happen with other characters?

Samus is presumably a placeholder for Lucina in some events.

 

[Waluigi is too big]

Welp, it looks like we will find out ridley roles any second now. Via trophy or character.

 

[Yoshi Kirishima]

The Samus being a placeholder for Lucina is great. Pretty much confirms Ridley for the 13th time.

 

[RoseyBetch]

Welp, it looks like we will find out ridley roles any second now. Via trophy or character.

Hopefully the latter, however.

 

[TempahRelapse]

Alternately, the leak could be all we're getting, and the lock was there because the Mii wasn't created.

Sadly I think that is the case... Sorry Ridley maybe next time.

 

[LunarDistortion]

This has been a wonderful time here! It's time for the final day!

We believe in you, Ridley!

 

[lilt]

Okay, Duck Hunt Dog confirmed. I'm curious about the next few hours.
Seems like characters are unlocked pretty fast.

Dat Ridley hype on those livestreams though!

 

[MewtwoX825]

Im done! I cant stand any more of the garbage twitch leakers and have to wait hours only to have the only two characters I wanted in this game not be in, AGAIN!!!!

 

[AuraShaman]

Wow...is this finally it? Just a few hours back, we were all exchanging farewells to the thread, bringing up what Ridley means to us, and singing jolly ol' songs... Now reality wants to blast off our kneecaps.

I can't watch!

 

[IsmaR]

Unfortunately I've got the early shift coupled with overtime, so no live anything for me.

I'll be checking in sporadically on my phone. Please remember to stay on topic/save the celebrating for later, guys. Whatever happens, don't lose hope.

BIG DEVELOPMENT

Remember how Mii Fighters were said to replace the Random Slot? Well it's been confirmed you can change it to have both on screen.

Now I know what you're thinking; "How is this relevant to Ridley?" Well, as you know it was speculated there was a 'Final Five' left. However, this could bump it down to instead being a Final Four.

What does THAT mean?

Well remember the text leak that was proven true, with Duck Hunt Dog, Bowser Jr, etc.? Well remember they also found a text leak that happened to line up with their's (The real one) before they revealed it.

Said leak had four newcomers confirmed that they did not.

-Dixie Kong
-Chorus Men
-Mewtwo
And the Big Guy himself.

These four would perfectly fit and complete the roster. They also line up with the Gematsu leak, which we assume was an outdated one.

Essentially, all the leaks come full circle, and it ends with Ridley flying high.[/q
a man can dream, a man can dream

 

[Zem-raj]

It has been an honour being with you guys. Hopefully Ridley will be a playable character.
If he isn't, I'll feel like making a petition to Nintendo for him to be DLC (with Mewtwo and King K. Rool if they're also not in).

 

[RidleyWright]

Kinda have to break what I said about not posting until (de)confirmation. The hype on twitch is just too real. The chat is going crazy every time a challenger appears begging for Ridley. It's... it's glorious. ;;

Last character unlocked was dark black pit.

 

[PlayfulMushroom]

Today is the day!

 

[Banjodorf]

There's still alot of evidence in their favor. Alot of the "leak detectives" believe in the missing 5. So one turned out to be Mii Fighters. This just makes that 4chan leak all the more interesting.

There's so much going for you, Rids! Let's see this through to the end.

On that note, I need to go to bed. I'll catch you guys on the potential flipside, where we shall hype and or cry together.

 

[.Shìkì]

I'm watching a stream of the game right now, Falco, G&W and Dark Pit confirmed so far. No sign of Ridley, but also noone boiught a trophy of him...unlike Wolf...poor Wolf. So there is still hope guys. But it will only be Final Four if anything, Miis are next to random on the character select screen.

You're behind. Try this one:
http://www.twitch.tv/hamayama

A rather inferior player (it is very rare that I will claim to play better than ANYONE, but I can definitely play better than this guy), but he has Duck Hunt and Ness unlocked as well.

 

[PurpleSpaceDragon]

Welp, if Ridley is in the 3DS version, playing through Classic as Samus is one of the most likely ways to unlock him. If this doesn't work, I hope he plays through as ZSS next.

Watching that, i didn'T get to see his CSS until now.

Well, i haven't seen anyone being able to buy a Ridley Trophy, unlike Wolf trophy so...

 

[Zem-raj]

Yep, ZSS confirmed to appear separate from Samus in All-Star (2001-2006 I think?).

So only Ridley would appear next to Samus in All-Star mode.

 

[Knight Dude]

Here's one of the streams. http://www.twitch.tv/hamayama

 

[GamerGuy09]

This is it! If Ridley isn't unlocked when Samus beats Master Hand, it might be over!

Or maybe Ridley will unlock! WHO KNOWS!

 

[.Shìkì]

Well, Samus didn'T do anything. Welp.

 

[Knight Dude]

And now they are trying ZSS on 9.0 difficulty. Not sure if it's going to happen. But I'd happy if it did.

EDIT: They gave up. I don't know how he's going to be unlockable. If at all. But that was my guess.

 

[Kirbizard]

Oh my God. This guy. Zero Suit Samus and 9.0 intensity. He's gonna get wrecked, but DOING IT FOR THE FANS.

 

[Yugimoto-D]

hamayama just beat the game with Samus and now is playing with Zero Suit Samus.

)': I think we are close to finding out the truth.

 

[PurpleSpaceDragon]

Well, Samus didn'T do anything. Welp.

He lost a stock to Master Hand (got knocked out), so that might have been why.

He's playing through as Zamus now. Let us hope for the best!

edit: he just lost the first match. LOL. he's playing as Mario now.

 

[Chrollo.]

At this point, I think the only way we'll find out if Ridley is in the game is tomorrow. If he is in the game, he'll be a really hard unlockable.

 

[CantGetRidOfTheRidley]

Does character matter? I mean, the one streamer tried several different characters to get Dark Pit.

Plus, it's all been fairly sequential from what we've seen so far. Falco unlocked, Ness Unlocked, Dark Pit, etc.

 

[Zynux]

Using Samus in classic mode didn't unlock Ridley.

He's going ZSS on 9.0 now. If nothing happens, then I don't know what to think...

 

[hotcrumpets]

Well, Samus didn'T do anything. Welp.

Thats because he is playing on a wicked low intensity, I think only 3.0, plus character unlocks dont correspond with the character besides like duck hunt and Game and watch

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

Zero Suit Samus is still there, guys. Just wait. Also, is it 100% confirmed that characters will unlock characters? Ridley might get the "Mewtwo" like treatment for unlocking requirements. So, don't falter yet. Until everyone is unlocked, no quitting.

Adam unauthorizes believing Ridley isn't playable.

Anthony Higgs can't believe you guys have no style for disbelieving in Ridley.

 

[.Shìkì]

Using Samus in classic mode didn't unlock Ridley.

He's going ZSS on 9.0 now. If nothing happens, then I don't know what to think...

He got rekt first stage, now playing Mario. Apocalypse prevented.

 

[Skyblade12]

Does character matter? I mean, the one streamer tried several different characters to get Dark Pit.

Plus, it's all been fairly sequential from what we've seen so far. Falco unlocked, Ness Unlocked, Dark Pit, etc.

The other stream unlocked characters in a different order, by doing other modes first. So it's not strictly sequential.

Rumor on the Twitch channel says Lucina is unlocked by beating Classic with Marth, but no confirmation yet.



There are a ton of different options to unlock him still left open. Defeat Classic 100 times. Defeat All-Star mode (any level of roster completion). Defeat Classic with Samus on a certain difficulty.

We've only seen easy unlocks so far, but that doesn't mean that's all there is.

 

[Knight Dude]

Zero Suit Samus is still there, guys. Just wait. Also, is it 100% confirmed that characters will unlock characters? Ridley might get the "Mewtwo" like treatment for unlocking requirements. So, don't falter yet. Until everyone is unlocked, no quitting.

Yep. But I'm also being more realistic. Anything could happen at this point.

I'm hoping that we'll see something good. But for now, I'd like to just see if this person can get the good Doctor.

 

[pickle962]

Waiting for the inevitable Ridley DISconformation! lol

 

[Ridley FR]

Even if Ridley it's the last unlockable, I feel the end is near


I can't believe it's going to end....Thank you guys for this amazing tread !


LONG LIFE TO RIDLEY, OUR LORD!

 

[Lanog20]

Things aren't looking too good guys...

 

[IsmaR]

Stream talk not pertaining to Ridley is no bueno. They still have lots of methods to try out, it'll take a while before we get any major breakthroughs. With how much it was advertised I though Smash Run would be an obvious starting point.

 

[Ridley FR]

Things aren't looking too good guys...

Uh, why guys ?
