Samus has had enough trauma, please. The last thing she needs is the clone of a dead dragon on steroids trying to comfort her.
I think he should have jigglyP FS it would suit him more.
How do you even?
Dear god, that model is hideous. Would people really prefer to have Other M Ridley than no playable Ridley at all? My friend who is obsessed with Metroid and loves Ridley always said he'd rather have Ridley not be playable than have him be playable but looking like... this... ("Woody Woodpecker" is no longer enough to convey just how disgusting this design is). I used to think it was fairly drastic, but now I think I may agree...
No point to this post; just that it's been a while since this gif was posted on this thread.
No offense, but I question your friend's love for Metroid if he's perfectly content with it only having one character and mediocre-at-best choices for stages, with the same gimmick throughout the series.
Sakurai can always update it like he did with Samus so it probably wouldn't look that bad.
After playing for a good few hours my arm starts to cramp up a bit from being in the same position for so long. There's also so many gimmicky things that they went really overboard with just because they have the motion controls, like how nearly every boss has a grapple point, or they make you lose target of something just to have you try and aim all over the place. Worst of all is when they want you to fire at small targets above or under the boss, like the Drone in Skytown or the Metroid Hatchers, that's just plain silly and not fun. Mogenar has also become my least favorite boss battle in the whole trilogy, the fight would have been interesting with Gamecube controls at least, but because you have to aim at those 4 orbs while the big golem jumps all over the place, while also sometimes having to targets the orbs he's drawing from the corners of the room, it becomes beyond frustrating.
Motion Controls were a godsend for the first two Prime games. I can't even play the GameCube versions anymore. Not only that, but they're among the best Motion Controls for the entire system. So smooth and accurate. I never have trouble with them.
I don't necessarily fancy the Other M model, but it still looks cool. I mean, it's only really ugly when you compare it to other Ridley designs (except Neo-Ridley), but in comparison to pretty much every other character on the roster he still looks badass. Plus, there's what Arcanir said, the model would obviously be edited to fit Smash, though I wouldn't count on him having anything but the Woody Woodpecker face. It's no reason to not want him playable though, at least not imo.
Well I replied
MasterOfKnees
, because I don't want to quote all thatThe model and design are certainly less than prime (in more ways than one, lel), but I'd prefer a stupid-looking Ridley (design-wise) rather than no Ridley at all.
It probably lies in the fact that my chair is rather low compared to the height of the TV, so I can't really rest my arms on anything. It's not so much that I hate about the motion controls though, as it only happens over a long period of time. But yeah, no point in discussing it to great lengths really.@
Are you letting your arm rest at your side or holding it straight out? The best way to play the game is to relax and let your arm pivot at the elbow; playing the game while sitting in a chair with great lumbar support.
I've never once gotten an arm cramp or even slightly uncomfortable playing the Prime Trilogy, so I can't help but think you must be doing something wrong. I, of course, am very apt to be wrong a lot of the time, so I wouldn't be surprised if you just had a low tolerance for that sort of thing.
That said, opinions and preferences are exactly that, so I'm not going to bother trying to convince you otherwise.
It's basically the common trait is the closer to a company a forum or commuciation medium is the less... intellgent it generally is.
You're not so much fighting Meta-Ridley in Prime Pinball (like with the other bosses) as you are focusing on keeping as many of your pinballs alive as possible to launch them into the Chozo artifact totems. Ridley will be there to fly around on both screens though and spam his meson bombs on your pinballs, making the Artifact Temple one of the harder tables in the game to complete.
Sounds about right.
First off, Sakurai hasn't been using the most recent model, necessarily, of each character. He's been using mash-ups that he thinks most fits each character. While I obviously can't know, I'd think he wouldn't use the Other M design, simply because it strays so far from how Ridley is not only represented in the other Metroid games, but in the previous smash games as well.
While the series may not be super popular, you're being a tad pessimistic, what with your 'last nail in the coffin'. You're implying he has many strikes against him? If anything, he is one of the characters with the most going for him. Series with a long history, yet low character count, already noticed by Sakurai (there's no such thing as bad publicity), who's already gone back on things he's said about brawl in sm4sh, just look at villager. So keep you hopes up, at least a little higher friend.
I'll join you so long as we're singing a capella.
