xD I just simply hate EVERYTHING about Ridley Kong, his evolutionary line, his on steroids body structure, his goddamned face, the texture also, the spikes everywhere, his color (it has an annoying tone of purple), his blood looks like mocus, and those green eyes, and that wierd tail with blade like tip.....again....i hate everything about it....
And it only gets better when Fusion decides to make him rotting, blue, and make grating banshee screams.
At least it makes sense in Fusion because, well ****, it's an X infected zombie dragon.
Exactly, and even if he is a rotten and blue zombie X infected dragon, he looks prettier than Roidley...
I'm going to disagree pretty heavily. In my opinion, one of the many things Fusion did worse than almost every game in the series included Ridley. They designed him unpleasantly, they made him sound terrible, and the fight was atrociously lame. Other M Ridley had more of an issue of preference as to whether his design is good or not, and all things considered the only thing they definitely messed up was giving him what appear to be a glass jaw.
I was being sarcastic, i know he looks ugly as Ridley-X (and there is a reason, that it was a X infected corpse, the X mekes everything they touch ugly), but forget about that one, like you said in comparison to his other forms and designs the Original Ridley had, Roidley is just an outrageous design to me.....and the ones who designed it, was team ninja, and the senseless evolutionary line was Sakamoto's idea, and i hate him and team ninja for that.
Yeah, I'm fine with Other M Ridley and I still like most of his other forms a lot more.
Yeah, maybe, but even if someone else could come up with a better design for him, the way he "evolves" is just something i still woudn't like, he is not a Xenomorph (they already did that with the Metroids, so why him now?) and he is not a pokemon....
Again, it makes sense because of it being a reanimated corpse infected with a virus. Obviously it'd be a distorted, unpleasant, erratic version of the host. To me I think they nailed that feel pretty well.
I think they could have definitely done a better job. When I say it looks aesthetically unpleasant I don't mean "Ew it looks like a rotting dragon corpse" because obviously that's the point. But it looks like an old Yugioh monster with purple splotches all over it and all I can think is "They could have done a better job with literally every aspect of Ridley X."
Maybe, but, while i still do not care about the boss fights, Brawl Ridley in design looks better maybe because it resembles the classic look, but Roidley in the other hand, does not....then again, that's just me.....
I think it's the eyes.
I like that design meybe because i still see some resemblance to his classic design anyway, i like his color scheme and that he is indeed half mecha, because he shows a little bit of organic tissue, and many other things....but, i will never stop saying that it is just me...
At least Other M Ridley isn't using a Dog Mask.Maybe i see it like a duck because, from all the designs Ridley has, it is the only one with his beak upwards, and with the lower jaw being longer than the upper one, and maybe i see him like that because of my overall hate to it
that's why i see it as a duck....even if it was probably based from a pterodactyl.....anyway, everyone has their different opinions about it, so, mine is not going to change for now.
You are right, i love Meta Ridley and Omega, both of the design's wingspans are large, and i like the holographic efect they have on their wings, and many other things about both of those designs mede by Retro, and yeah, i hope to see a concept of a organic Ridley by them, xD I love brawl Ridley because it resembles the original look and the many expressions i can give to him with his "big" eyes, Omega Ridley has really small eyes indeed, but i like that they are still orange in color....
Yh because K.Rool blows fire right?
yeah i agree, theres far too much going on with his face as well. He looks like a beast wars transmetal character.
Um in DK jungle climber he could do that, go to about 11 minutes in
I you look closely you can say it's fake because C. Falcon was given Other M Samus personality.
Yeah, there's definately some weird designs going on with his face, but the overall shape always looked fine to me.
I was a huge lurker for a few months and it was this thread that made me make a account too.
And Other M Ridley's body.
I remember when I first joined Smashboards, not too long after SSB4 was shown off at E3. This was the first thread that I posted in, and , if my memory serves to be correct, you were the first person to respond to something I said.
I've also heard some say Ridley would just be a Bowser with wings, and unfortunately Sakurai's "he might be a little slow" comment kinda justifies that... as far as what Ridley's ground gameplay might be like anyway. Aerial is another story.
Did you also point out that Kraid likely wouldn't fit inside the narrow generator shaft that Meta-Ridley's Prime 3 boss fight took place in?
As pointed out, threads of other deconfirmed characters are still here floating about. Eventually though all this will likely become part of some archived board if Ridley gets deconfirmed again (your posted drawings will still remain here). Regardless of what his status ends up being in Smash 4, I expect a certain form of anguish here when that one day comes.
That aside, methinks a decent user like you should maybe post in other threads here too from time to time. Doesn't have to be in other character threads either. Could be just the Wii U social thread or something.Not a popular opinion but I've pretty much always saw it as this way too, and in some respects, Ridley has always been more pterodactyl based/inspired than he has being some dragon that most like to think of him as. To be fair though, I guess he's kind of a bit of both a prehistoric flying creature and a dragon in design. Just so happens that the Other M design made a nod to the former more, far as how the head looks anyway.
Aside from his healing factor that was explained in the manga, I dunno.
Not saying you have to like it, but just google images of pterodactyls and you'll easily see that Other M Ridley's head resembles them more than that of a "duck".
He just had the typical green blood that reptiles do in some other games. The green eyes I thought were sorta cool during the first cutscene, but seeing his green "vision" during part of another shortly before dying was kinda meh and overdoing it.
So much this.
I really want to see your new drawing! good luck!As pointed out, threads of other deconfirmed characters are still here floating about.

Just a suggestion... And somehow I overslept most of yesterday, last night, and today, but since school was closed for me today because of too much ice on the roads and stuff, I'll try doing another Ridley sketch later, even if mostly so I can feel I at least did one thing productive during the day. Ugh. May just be another Miiverse sketch though or something.

I'll be overjoyed if/when he's shown in the next Metroid that's not done by Team Ninja just so the Other M design will no longer be the latest thing about him to be talked about and that it'll finally become more forgotten over time.
It would be nice to see other threads, but this one is the one im most interested in. xD maybe i will do it someday.
I'm honestly really hyped for the next Metroid game made by Retro. I wasn't really following the series when the Prime series was new, so this is the first Retro-made Metroid game that I'll know about before it's released. Quite a cause for celebration, no?
