Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[HylianHeroBigBoss]

In Ben 10-
*hears boos and hisses*
LET ME FINISH

-this was how Zs'Skayr, a ghost-like alien was able to recreate himself through the Omnitrix as Ben's "Ghostfreak" form. His species is conscious through even the smallest strands of DNA.
My guess is, in Metroid, Ridley's species (or even just Ridley himself) works the same way.

Kinda like Cell from DBZ or sephiroth from how I'm understanding it. It's not that out there since it's been in a number of series.

Calling it now, Sakurai is going to confirm playable Ridley on August 20 to celebrate the anniversary of the Pyrosphere reveal =p

He wil just reveal Samus' enemy from the past: LAVA!

Hahaha,

You are the best

Technically it's only lava if it's above the surface. Considering most of her games take place beloew surface, that would be magma.

Also acid.

If Samus wins the fight, her winning animation should be getting a message from Adam authorizing the use of the Varia Suit

I guess it's true that one can learn something everyday, now, could you tell me how they got all the magma/lava into the Bottle Ship? please?

"Pic of the day. Now introducing a new mechanic - unlockable moves! Samus is the only character that has this, though. She must wait for commands from Adam before being able to access her Special attacks, so strike her down before she receives any transmissions. Any objections?"

Spoiler

Future space technology. Also, tubes.

Also sometimes I wish there was a 'dislike' button.

Cloned it from her suit, obv.

I hope they cloned Lower Norfair music too.

 

[Anomilus]

Finally finished. Took way longer than it should have because I over-complicate the process.

Thanks to AndreaAC for letting me know Flipnote even had a GIF option.

you know what would make a great level for the 3ds version?

sector 4 aqa, then we had rising acid, rising acid again, rising lava magma and now rising eletronic water

I'd love to see a fusion stage and that would be awesome

 

[majora_787]

Please not a Fusion stage... Or a fusion anything...

Actually I think the last handheld Metroid was Prime Hunters, yeah? Something interesting might come out of that. Who knows.

 

[IsmaR]

I'm still holding hope for a Maridia stage. But I digress, that doesn't have anything to do with Ridley.

Your GIF is amazing, Anomilus.

 

[Oasis_S]

Being mistaken for magma is one of the many microtransgressions lavamen have to endure daily.

But japan doesn't give 2 ****s about the prime series, didn't they make it non cannon or at least seperate, also whats wrong with fusion, fusion was awesome

I guess it would be awesome if you ignore all of the bad things about it, yeah. To make it Ridley-related, I'm just saying rotting corpse banshee scream Ridley is in my opinion by far the worse iteration in the entire series.

 

[CardiganBoy]

Well we may get two Metroid stages for both versions, so a Fusion stage is very likely (fusion stage or death) and fricking Skytown from Corruption.

Hunters has like the most dull environment ever, there's nothing that'd work as great stage material really without making it look like super generic sci-fi stuff, since that's all the game has (on top of a generic fire, desert and ice planet.) And that says a lot btw, since I even saw stage potential in Other M.

I'd personally love a Metroid 2 stage, but Fusion would be cool too.

I don't know, if Hunters didn't have two actual planets I would agree. But I just don't think games that take place entirely on ships are a good sign for a Metroid game after being witness to Fusion.

What's bad about fusion for a GBA game it was great

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

I'm terrible at bets, and Sakurai is the master of unpredictability, but I'm pretty sure the best time to reveal Ridley (as playable) would be at E3. Him or Mewtwo. There's no other better time to reveal that kind of hype and get the pre-orders going. On the other hand, if he's a stage hazard or returning boss, can't say when that kind of reveal would happen...

There is 1 other opportunity

If a Nintendo direct is on April 18th or march 19th and sakurai tweets the direct thats a flare gun shot for Ridley might be the new comer (those dates are the super metroid anniversary's April is usa and march is japan)

 

[Crocovile]

Woop woop moar Ridley for ya, guys.

(can anyone tell me how to make it smaller/thumbnails and how to make spoiler tags? I don't want to inconvenience everybody with huge posts all the time)

 

[Pazzo.]

He wil just reveal Samus' enemy from the past: LAVA!

He already revealed an enemy from Samus' past on the Pyrosphere.

That should work.

Hey, that's actually very true, Mother Brain could have been that Samus' enemy from the past. Way to trick us, Sakurai!

 

[Pazzo.]

That's just that way he rolls.

Now, back to Ridley.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Hey, that's actually very true, Mother Brain could have been the Samus' enemy. Way to trick us, Sakurai!

Agreed...... If sakurai said something like this (see there the foe from samus's past) something like that'll that day

 

[Xhampi]

I just thought of something, Meta-Ridley is the second to last boss introduced in the subspace emissary, I wonder if it's some kind of hidden reference to the fact that Ridley is nearly always the second to last boss in Metroid games ^^

 

[Sonicguy726]

"Pic of the day. Out of the blue, here's a new stage--the Pyrosphere from Metroid: Other M! An enemy from Samus's past may appear at any second…"
"enemy from Samus's past", mother brain is
"may appear at any second", assist trophies can appear at any second
It definitely makes sense

Ok that makes more sense so that may have helped ridley out of the stage hazard pot hole I mean the proof of the stage shown so many times and no sign of ridley it might be that way hazard less or rising lava

Seriously how long ago was the pyrosphere revealed and still no sign of ridley, while the kid icarus stage was revealed after that and we've already seen viridi

If I remember well the japanese quote talk about how the Pyrosphere is the place where Samus trauma happen.
So it doesn't concern smash to begin with.

Do you know what the proper translation of the japanese quote is?

So the one who traslates Sakurai quotes is the real troll, LET'S CUT HIS HEAD OFF!!

 

[Shaking//very]

you can never be sure, but i personally don't think ridley is going to be a stage hazard at all. not other m ridley, not a clone ridley, neither ridley if he isn't selected ( and is if he is, fiery jeff takes his place )

heck, the i don't know why people even came up with the whole stage hazard thing; '' an enemy from samus's past may appear any second'' doesn't mean ''an enemy from samus's past may appear any second as a stage hazard masahiro sakurai everybody''

sakurai's quote was so obscure, it could mean anything. sure it could mean mother brain, who has appeared. it could also mean lava, sure what the hell i might have died more times in metroid because of lava than of enemies. it could also mean he was referring to the events of other m, that in the pyrosphere in other m, ridley could appear any second.

but i personally still thinks it means ridley could appear any second, playable. i mean there's been so much build up now. sakurai knows what he's doing, he also knew what he was doing with little mac; the boxing arena, it was right before our eyes the whole time. he also knows people want ridley playable, that's why he hasn't given him away yet, or is going to any time soon i think.

ridley playable in smash has always been a thing, and if it's going to ( finally ) happen this time; it's going to be huge. i expect them to reveal him at e3 2014, not earlier.
