The pain of Ridley not being playable this time pretty much means that Sakurai is damn adamant about Ridley never being playable. Ridley fans should go there own way without Sakurai just like the Melee players did.

I hadn't seen it before, I was looking through the comments of A news article and I saw it, so thought I would ask if anyone had seen it. Sorry!

Dont worry, Ridley is probably playable.

To be fair, there are so many people in this thread, there is almost no way of being "first" here on anything.

I'm gonna cut my losses after the Doctor Mario reveal and just give up on Ridley. You know when Doctor Filler gets in over Ridley it's time to give up. I wish you guys luck in future smash games.

From here, a Donkey Kong or Zelda newcomer would be very interesting on the CSS for Samus and Zamus.

At this point I don't think Ridley will be in the initial 3DS game. Rather, I think its more likely that Ridley might be DLC later when the Wii U game comes out. Before we knew how unlockables worked it was easy to justify and suggest that the roster could reorganize, but it doesn't seem likely anymore. The main issue is Pokemon; we'd need a lot of characters ABOVE Pokemon to push the franchise down to the next line, but its just not happening.


Ironically, while Isaac was lower on my prediction list before (#5 most likely), now he's right up there in #2 right behind Mewtwo for me.

Seriously, stop. Lose fate in Ridley by yourselves. Don't bring that here, where all your doing is causing turmoil to people who haven't quit yet. All you guys are doing, is making yourselves appear as pricks. So just leave, and let us grieve on our own.

If it's "over," or you've given up hope, why post here? You preemptive lot jumping ship because things don't look good will look foolish if things do in fact turn out in our favor.

And if you were right? Good for you. Let the rest of us go down with the ship. There's no harm we're doing you.

As far as i know Gema haven't ended the game with any Zelda or DK character (well he finished the game with Link and got Ganondorf, so maybe another Zelda character will unlock a new character from that franchise the same with DK, i don't think so but it may happen)

I'm preparing my hate mail in advance just in case Ridley and K. Rool don't show up. Dammit Sakurai.

Well, his chances are looking pretty low at this point, but I haven't lost hope just yet. We gotta remember... there's still a chance. A small chance, but a chance.

I suppose we could hope for a DK newcomer or a Zelda character to move the CSS-

Pffffthahahaha, oh god, I couldn't keep a straight face. As if Sakurai gives a damn about Donkey Kong or Zelda.

I am prepared for the worst but I will keep to support Ridley until I see him as a NPC, unlike april there will be no jumping the ship from me this time.

Welp, I'm still as confident in Ridley being playable as ever. Heck, I'm even more certain of it since I saw Bowser in his spot when fighting Samus and Zero Suit Samus! Regardless, all this baseless doom and gloom is realy bringing down the atmosphere for me. Even if you think, for whatever reason, that Ridley isn't showing up, I really don't see the point of coming here to just say that, least you be regreting those words in what are now just a few more hours.

I still think the evidence points towards Ridley being playable, it just doesn't look likely he's unlockable (by default) in the current 3DS game, but lack of any signs of the Big 3 WHATSOEVER makes me think that they may very well be released later after all to promote the Wii U game. Well, except maybe Mewtwo. He can still fit fine.

I'm honestly not sure why you guys are panicking so much.
If Ridley's pseudo-tease was in fact a giant ruse and Ridley is playable, do you really think he would be unlocked in only hours of gameplay? That would ruin the point a little. The only good time to be depressed is when the streamer finally unlocks everything and the dragon isn't on it and it won't be over before that.

the character select screen does not look good for Ridley. but pray for Impa or Dixy

everyone is jumping the gun and even I am getting depressed by all your comments, but I just gotta keep moving forward

Well, its called being realistic. All signs points to him not playable, at least in the 3DS version. The people in the leak thread is seriously pissing me off by rubbing salt over our wounds.

The guy I was watching had the cursor hover over Samus a while, then he went straight to peach -.- I was so mad when he chose her. I just want to see Ridley in the game!

My problem is the roster layout. There'd need to be a LOT more characters in the game to push the entire Pokemon franchise down, and there's no signs of characters reordering at all. Maybe after a certain number of characters the clones get merged with their franchises, but it seems unlikely at this point.

Sure, the character select screen doesnt look good for Ridley, but those empty spots would fit Dixie or Impa. What? They are just empty spots, Optimus Prime could occupy one of them for all we know.

As Gema plays, I see loner DK in the top right corner and samus/zero suit on the right right side. Seems like they both could slide down into the row below over time...
