Which is a shame, considering the great beautiful environments Metroid tends to have, and out of them, only teh lava still gets acknowledged years and years later.

How much footage was shown? I haven't seen the Direct.

If it was at least a little more over a minute, then I'll be positive that theres no hazard on the Pyrosphere. No Ridley, no rising lava/acid. While it would boost Ridley's chances to an extremely high percent, it doesn't absolutely guarantee him being playable.

Yeah, he could still very well return as a boss as half-baked fanservice or something.

So.. we saw some footage of Pyrosphere.

No Ridley.

I'm calling it. It's a neutral stage. No stage hazard.
Not that im supporting team down with ridley i swear but only half the stage was shown in that trailer and plus it was less than 5 seconds of footage no way to call it neutral anything could have happen if it was a lot more footage time of that stage

But i asure your if ridley becomes playable i might make myself a party for this for myself

Had not seen all the footage myself yet. In that case, people could still be jumping the shark in ruling out Ridley having a Pyrosphere-exclusive role. Go figure.

I probably am. Don't know why though. I just feel more confident in saying that now.

Well great, 2 seconds worth of footage of a stage we've seen far too many times in pics, and none of the pics, nor the small amount of footage showed ANYTHING significant relating to the stage.

In Metroid canon Phendrana Drifts, Sanctuary Fortress, SkyTown/Elysia, etc. eventually all got covered in lava at some point!

Oh, and SSB4's Pyrosphere covered whatever was left of the Biosphere and Cyrosphere in the Bottleship.

Apparently, only lava area exists according to Smash.

well, Frigate Orpheon didn't have lava in it... this doesn't necessarily have to either. there's a lot of seemingly neutral stages revealed so far. I bet a second traditional lava/acid stage will show up from Prime or something

I hadn't forgotten the Frigate Orpheon, but didn't comment on it because well... I'm surprised they didn't have the Parasite Queen summon some kind of lava or acid from the background while they were at it. As for Pyrosphere, if it doesn't have Ridley in all his hazardous glory, it's kinda hard to not see the stage having rising/falling lava of some kind.

Technically only Norfair had any superheated/liquid rock matter. All 3 Brinstars had acid; even then, Norfair has magma, not lava.
Lava/magma, acid, and whatever material from Metroid that has yet to be used as a hazard like Phazon or fuel gel, may as well all be the same damn thing far as Smash stages are concerned, as they're mostly executed in a same fashion.

How would a Ridley Kirby look like D:
People still ask that?



I guess now though someone would need to do one of Kirby wearing Other M Ridley's kind of head on himself...

Im still hoping for a Metroid Prime 3 Stage, considering that MP3: Corruption and Other M are the last original Metroid Games released after Brawl, and Skytown Elysia is the better choice, plus it already has floating platforms:

There's too many clouds for Ridley to hide in.

You know what would be funny, once Ridley is confirmed playable character, everything that goes after him like items, new characters, stages or something, first will need to pass the inspection of Ridley like hey "How about this stage from Ice Climbers" is to purple for Ridley, next. Or maybe a "item like the energy tank from Mega Man" is to small for Ridley. You get the idea it will be funny as revenge to all people that say Ridley is to big for Smash.

People still ask this because Kirby will obviously look like this:
Ridley Kirby?

Ridley is clearly far too big for Kirby to swallow. He will also be impervious to Yoshi's egg move, and all grabs.

Ridley confirmed as best Smash 4 character.

Ridley supporters may be pleased to know that Anthony Higgs scored less lower than any other character (including Owain, Sylveon, and Sandbag) in want on Rate Their Chances.

Good news for Ridley's popularity here on the boards, I suppose.

To be fair, Anthony's time to shine in the rate their chances thread happened during another one of :diddy:'s temporary absences.

Anthony is a joke that no one including Diddy actually believes should or would be in Smash.

Ridley and Dark Samus are the only Metroids worth consideration.
