I wouldn't plan on buying the Wii U version. However, it might be possible that I would consider getting the 3DS version if it has some of my other most wanted characters, like King K. Rool or the FE Avatar.
Eh, the characters are a big part of the game to me, I would say I play for them as much as I plan for teh fun. I am not saying I will boycott the game if Ridley isn't in, tho. Portable Smash was something I always wanted, so I am certainly picking the 3DS version regardless of which characters are in.
Yup, same here.
Oddly enough, I would actually prefer him a little bigger (maybe its just his walk animation that makes him hunched over)...but otherwise, looks good.I think that would be saved for his dash, and his normal walking would be just walking bipedal-esque on his hind legs like that of classic Smash Bowser.
And this is basically taking it and putting it at a playable perspective.
Nah, as I have low expectations to begin with. Though at the very least, I would like a thorough explanation from Sakurai (maybe in a interview or something) as to why he's still against putting Ridley in, as he's the only character from Metroid that needs to get in if Metroid is to have another rep (with maybe Dark Samus behind him, but not before Ridley).
I would buy it, even if at first im going to be ENRAGED, but later i may acept the cruel fact the he is not in the game, and be happy playing as Rosie and the other characters i already use (and kill the ones i hate...)
Well, I would be quite disappointed, really. I think Ridley really is the closest thing we have at this point to a perfect character choice; he's an incredibly important character to a large, successful, and popular franchise that is currently underrepresented in Smash, and he has plenty to bring to the table as a unique fighter. But at the same time, it's really hard to know what Sakurai thinks of him, and maybe he does just want him as a boss/hazard/thing (I sincerely hope not, though. I would like to think he's better than that). So while I would be very disappointed, ultimately, as with any character, there's always that idea that they just won't make it, and I've always acknowledged that as a possibility. So hopefully I'm prepared for that outcome.
No, I'd buy the game regardless. If he's not playable in the initial game, he could always be made DLC since it's been a consideration but will not be started until the initial game is completed. Regardless, the only character not making it that would really make me question buying it is Mewtwo, because while Ridley is a very likely character, Mewtwo is a character that NEEDS to be in at this time.
Both are purple, both are Big. Flawless logic, what is there not to understand, may I ask?
Doesn't seem very Ridley to me.
Second is too big a number, alas.
He's purple, he has functional wings, and he's disturbing to gaze upon for too long.
Doesn't seem very Ridley to me.
Well, it's true, but I don't think we really need to overall worry. Because we know that thanks to Little Mac that we're getting our opinions heard too, and we want Mewtwo over here just as much as Japan does, basically everybody wants Mewtwo to come back, he's got the perfect reasons to do so. He's got so much going for him, he's one of the most popular pokemon in existence, his legendary status basically has been untouched ever since the year he was created, basically, Mewtwo's the only character I can even begin to call a Shoe-in.
No gigantic head, no awkward neck, lack of lankiness, etc. Are you guys blind or what.
I find it difficult these days to measure my potential disappointment should Ridley not be in. I know I'll be very disappointed with Sakurai and I'll definitely want some sort of explanation. But I know I won't have much of a chance to process it; I and all of us will be too busy fighting off the hoard of idiots craving to get their jollies from rubbing Ridley's exclusion in our faces. Ridley not getting in is a sizable wound, and the naysayers are the battery acid that's thrown in the wound. I don't think I'd have much of anywhere to express any disappointment without it being used against me.
So Ridley is Big?
There's one BIG notable difference between the two...
Doesn't seem very Ridley to me.
Big the Cat has very strong emotional intelligence, as it happens. You need only examine his relationship to Froggy to see this in action.
BIG THE CAT BELLY FLOPS INTO THE FREY!
Doesn't seem very Ridley to me.
I think THAT would be far more terrifying in Smash than Ridley could ever hope to be.Enough about Big the Cat. Let's talk more about Ridley's potential long-lost sibling:
Both are reptilian ferocious monsters, are good with kids, purple, and so on. I mean, the similarities are glaringly obvious. If he doesn't deserve alternate costume status, then I don't know what does.![]()
In all seriousness, if Ridley were to have one alt costume, it'd have to be Omega Ridley.
Well, they had no issue showing off characters like Ashley and Skull Kid, and you can see how people reacted to that. I feel like if Ridley was a hazard, they would probably reveal it as soon as possible so as to not build up hope and proceed to crush it down the line. That would just be a sadistic move on their part. Sounds like something I would do...
Skull Kid's a good point, I've seen him requested a lot since the pre brawl days. Those poor, poor Skull Kid fans... Did Ashley ever get a lot of support? I really never noticed. But that's getting away from the topic.
What's more, Little Mac has changed the game a bit when it comes to Ridley's chances. His inclusion reveals two key points:
OH, she had support alright...
Yes. She is a loli, what did you expect?
Speaking of Kraid, does anyone else appreciate Brinstar Depths from Melee? Sweet stage.
Sakurai would have to stop showing the Pyrosphere stage eventually if he isn't planning on revealing Ridley before the release, be it as a playable character or as a goddamn stage hazard. There is not much to show about the stage anyway, unless you should Ridley in some way.
YES. I love the music in that stage too. I treasure my Melee soundtrack cd. I will protect it with my life.
I've always wondered what it would look like with four playable Ridleys on the stage fighting each other.
