Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Empyrean]

The only Melee stage that should return is FoD. Brinstar Depths was horrible. Stellar music tho.

I know this is late but did anyone else notice Mario on that Mother Brain Picture?

We did.

And 400 pages, wut.

Ashley definitely had supporters, only because she's one of the few WarioWare characters that's remotely interesting or entertaining. I personally love her; she hits all the right notes for me (Haunted Mansion, Halloween-esque music, power hidden under a innocent demeanor) though I personally never believed she deserved a spot, I always thought Captain Syrup deserved a spot more then Ashley did (Wario Land > WarioWare by a landslide) and I don't even want Syrup (maybe for Mario Kart, but not Smash).

Sucks for Ashley fans, but at the very least Sakurai got it out of the way and didn't dance around it, bringing false hope...

Yes. She is a loli, what did you expect?

The overwhelming amount of fan art she gets compared to every other WarioWare character says it all. Damn lolis...

Speaking of Kraid, I want Crocomire as stage hazard ._.

Wouldn't that just confirm a Norfair stage again? Not a bad thing, just wondering...

Anyways besides Pyrosphere, I'm hoping there are some Prime or handheld stages. Preferably a stage from Fusion or Skytown from Prime 3.

I've always wondered what it would look like with four playable Ridleys on the stage fighting each other.

Such Cunning, much God of Death.

Awkward to play on, as I recall, but I dug the atmosphere and soundtrack. Sadly, Melee is the Smash I played the least, so the details elude me.

I'm not sure that we'll get Melee stages, if the current trend holds. We got 64 stages in Melee, and Melee stages in Brawl. It's likely that we're getting Brawl stages for SSB4 (meaning Norfair or Orpheon will occupy the obligatory Metroid slot). Still, nothing stopping them from breaking the rules and bringing back older stages.

I actually think it might be interesting to see 64 stages rendered in HD (or alternatively, see our HD fighters duke it out on classic 64 graphics).

The only Melee stage that should return is FoD PokeFloats.

Fixed that for you.

EDIT: They completely disregard the Palutena leak because of a few minor faults and then say Ridley is 100% deconfirmed!!! BURN THEM!

Calm down.

They simply aren't looking all of the evidence before making a conclusion.

It will bite them in the but later. I assure you.

Now I'm picturing you walking up to them in the plaza, circling them, bending down, and biting them square in the jeans.

If you ever plan on going through with this, be sure to emit a Ridley shriek on the approach.

Imma mod.

Not riots!

Here's to hoping that Melee-era stages come back for this game.

Kraid: Woah, Ridley, like, **** bro, why are there so many of you, dog? Damn, I think I should have drunk that juice a coupl o' hours ago...

Oh hey, 400 pages.

Mods don't like riots? :o
But fire and rampage and destroy the surrounding villages? :o

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Question: How much disappointed would you be if Ridley isn't in the game? Would you consider not buying/boycotting it?

At most I may not get the Wii U version if it happens, but it would take more than just a Ridley disconfirmation for me to question on at least getting the 3DS version. After what we got with Dyna-Ridley in Brawl, as well as the game's version of Meta-Ridley which wasn't really faithful to the character either (moveset-wise), it'll be hard for me to be even more disappointed with Ridley's execution than I was before. I mean at least as a stage hazard he would still be killing players unlike his Brawl self which was a total joke boss.

And what Anomilus said about having to deal with the naysayers that'll be happy about him being excluded again and rubbing it in our faces, using our disappointment against us, etc. That'll be just as bad an aftertaste as Ridley not making it to the roster again, if not worse.

So I heard an interesting point about Pyrosphere earlier, and I wanted to hear some opinions. The guy was saying that Ridley is a hazard, and the reason he hasn't been shown on PS yet is because it would kill hype for the game due to how highly requested he is. Obviously I don't really buy it, but I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed either, so is that actually a legitimate reason? I heard it on the Japantime podcast or whatever the hell it's called.

Just some food for thought. And to answer the question that was posed earlier, yeah I'd be fairly disappointed but I'm still buying the game either way. Probably both versions because I'm a sucker.

Interesting food for thought I'll admit, but I'm sure showing off Ridley as a hazard would still be a major hype killer for the game regardless of when Sakurai happens to show it or how long he waits before finally putting fans out of their misery. I suppose waiting till around the last minute to show Hazardley may reduce the damage some though, while he hypes the game with newcomers/veterans that actually are in it in the meantime. Would still be an asshole thing to do though in my eyes, but eh...

Speaking of Kraid, does anyone else appreciate Brinstar Depths from Melee? Sweet stage.

I do. Kinda miss that stage if anything.

 

[Banjodorf]

I just don't get Sakurai's logic if by some cruel twist of fate Ridley is a hazard or boss (somehow) again.

- Fans upset about Ridley not being playable? Well I guess we could do that, but he'd be pretty slow.

-Doesn't reveal him as a hazard on a stage he's shown a bajillion times, because it would kill people's hype.

In that case, why not go the full mile and make him a ****ing character? If the negatives OBVIOUSLY outweighs the positives. Why even do it? It can't be so impossibly hard to make him a character that you have to hide behind trolls and a potential stage hazard.

Its stuff like that that tells my intuition he's playable. There's just too many...things.

Looks like you cracked a hole in that argument!

Spoiler

Everybody is too obsessed with cracks and holes, I just wanted to join in on the fun

 

[Lolo Lolo]

Ridley must be playable because Masahiro has already deconfirmed two of my most wanted
Skull Kid & Ashley for SSB5

I share that same feeling. I know it's probably wrong to think like this, but my gut's telling me that Ridley will be playable. For all the reasons you mentioned, I feel like there's no reason NOT to have him appear. I just can't see Sakurai being so cruel as to tease us with his possible presence for so long, only to deny him a playable appearance.

On another note, you all do realize that the day we find out Ridley's fate, whether for better or for worse, the internet is going to explode. Worst case scenario, Ridley is a hazard and we get salt rubbed in our wounds by all those haters. At the very least, that will probably pass with time. On the other hand, if Ridley IS playable, the reaction will probably be even more dramatic. Both sides of the debate will be making quite a bit of noise; those who support Ridley will no doubt be celebrating and become incredibly hyped, while the poor, foolish Too Big crowd will enter into a living nightmare. Really, by advocating so strongly against Ridley, by acting as if he is utterly impossible and going so far out of their way to mock those who support him, they've kind of dug their own graves at this point. The sheer amount of backlash they'll receive is going to haunt some of the particularly vocal ones for quite some time. There's just so much love and hate poured into this one character that, either way, the result is sure to be quite explosive.

 

[IsmaR]

Whatever happens, I expect this place the be the least of my worries. As Swamp said, no riots. However if you want to go pillage Youtube that's out of my jurisdiction.

 

[Lolo Lolo]

I know it's not about Ridley but .... I can't post pictures !!!!!
it asks me the pictures URL but .... WTH is the URL !?!?!?!?!?!
PLEASE HELP ME

 

[IsmaR]

The link to the actual picture in the address bar, usually following " http:// "

As an example, this page's url:

Who gives a flip about the YouTube community again?

Oh right... I wish that would be given less attention here if anything, minus people like Hotfeet asking some like us to support their pro-Ridley vids when necessary.

edit: Decided to pull an Anomilus with the whole recolored manga Ridley, which I had saved as a sig long ago. Emerald dragon Rids ftw.

But what's the URL of a picture which is in my desktop ?
I want to put an image in my signature but I can't

 

[IsmaR]

For that you'd have to upload it to an image hosting site, like imgur. I can't help you with that, but you should be able to find a tutorial fairly easy if you looked.

 

[AndreaAC]

"I'm WATCHING YOU......"

xD I Just wanted to post a newer version of my Ridley gif that i made this morning....seeing my older one make me want to do it better.

 

[Lolo Lolo]

I used Photobucket and I found the URL of the image I posted but look at my signature !!! every image I post is broken !!!!
HELP MEEEEEEE

 

[IsmaR]

You only copied the title of the specific image. Go to the image's page, and there should be a full url that includes the name of the site (photobucket.com)

Additionally [ img ] tags don't work anymore. To post images, you have click on the image button (next to the smilies) above the text box. Anyway that's enough of that in this thread. If you have anymore issues, take it to PMs.

That gif is amazing, Andrea.

THANK YOU! xD you mean the one i made with flipnote? if it is that one....it is pretty simple.....I wish i could do a more complex animation, but that tiny screen doesn't help me.....If it is the other one (the one with omega) im not sure if i can have it as a signature (the size), can i?

 

[IsmaR]

I meant the one posted above, but the one in your sig counts, too. I don't see any problem with it. So long as it's not significantly bigger than the size limit (5 lines of text, or 125 pixels) it should be fine.

thank you very much
I solved it

My pleasure.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

I think this is my favorite Omega Ridley gif, even though it was revealed as a beta for his intro cutscene in the actual game (notice the differences like Samus not having the P.E.D. suit there). File size might be too large to have as a sig though, even if resized/cropped.

And yeah, that flipnote animation is pretty cool Andrea, albeit simple.

Thank you! :3 and i was going to use that beta animation as a signature first, but the size....i think im going to look for a smaller one, just to not get me in trouble.....

@Ridley_Prime oh, and your signature is beautiful :3

 

[Phaazoid]

Both are purple, both are Big. Flawless logic, what is there not to understand, may I ask?

My point exactly.

Gentlemen, Ladies, we have a new purpose at hand.

We must kill big. Only then will Ridley shine through.

 

[False Sense]

We have to kill the concept of being big?

...Well, that's what Ridley supporters do on a regular basis...

 

[Mega Bidoof]

I just wanted to make sure that I said that I support Ridley, in this thread.

(Just checking to see if I supported everyone in my sig on their threads.)

Woah, the lightning on Samus is so pretty!

Oh, and Ridley appears to be at a very appropriate size if you ask me. Even if he stand in two legs on that size, I doubt he'll be any bigger than Bowser.

I remember posting "amg 300 pages" I was so young and naive then.

if Ridley (with that design) was standing in two legs, he looks like this

I WISH i had that model.....

Agree. Think I might like that animation even better than the final version of the Prime 3 cutscene partly because of the lighting...

Pretty much. I kinda like that image better as an example too of Ridley being & fighting on all fours than the Other M walking animation that you commonly see now. And in-game, even when Omega Ridley was walking around on two legs and clawing you to try and cover his weak spot, he was still pretty hunched over, so yeah. (funny how I'm saying all this again now with how it was kinda talked about pre-Brawl)

@ Andrea: Thanks. :3 Image quality wise your sig is... much better than before, even though it's not another animation (doesn't have to be either).

:3 no problem, and yes, it is not an animation because those files are big, and i do not want to have troubles because of the size of a signature....i wish we could use images without have to use an URL...i would have used one of my Ridley drawings

oh, and when he walks in two legs (all pissed off), i found it funny (and cute) because the little jump he makes before he starts walking towards you xD
