Very true. I want to say it was revealed he was a boss post-launch on the Dojo, so it was leaked ahead of time he wasn't playable.When was Ridley revealed to be a boss in Brawl though? We're all pointing to the fact that his fate hasn't been shown yet, but if Ridley wasn't revealed to be a boss until near/at launch during the Brawl era, then such an argument doesn't hold as much ground as we'd like.
We have the Pyrosphere. That, along with the cryptic comment referencing the events of Other M, seems to be leading in the direction of a playable Ridley. It makes even more sense if you compare it with the reveal of Palutena's Temple, where he makes a comment about Palutena that's just as cryptic as Ridley's.I keep saying it and i'll say it again- E3. Ridley has all "dat Westurn hype-u." Why would Sakurai reveal a primarily western hyped character when he could use E3 for that? Argue Little Mac against me all you want, but we knew he was going to be in there because of the boxing ring stage. Ridley is different. The fact that we don't know his fate yet bodes well for him to be playable.
I have my doubts that boss battles will return. It's already been confirmed that the SSE won't be in SSB4, and I find it hard to believe that the next adventure mode will be almost identical to it. If they do return, there are much better alternatives this time around, like the Queen Metroid or Phantoon.When was Ridley revealed to be a boss in Brawl though?

Exactly! We had the Galaxy stage before Rosalina and the boxing ring before Little Mac. And with the Mii rumor showing up everywhere and Pilotwings stage plus Find Mii 2 AND Tomodachi collection, this could certainly help Ridley's case.We have the Pyrosphere.

He was revealed to be a boss from one of the few early Japanese copies floating around, so technically it was from a leak. He wasn't revealed on the Dojo until after the Japanese launch, where Sakurai in no way alluded to people wanting him to be playable, but just handled him as if he was on the same level as guys like Petey Piranha and Rayquaza. I'm expecting him to be treated the same if he's a stage hazard, being put on level with guys like Yellow Devil, Viridi and the Dark Emperor.When was Ridley revealed to be a boss in Brawl though?

I like the one were he's eating CD-i Link in front of CD-i King.GOOD NEWS SPACE PIRATES !!!
the Ridley-Miiverse's collage is complete
There are also some my drawings :D
As do I. It is just so arbitrarily random.I like the one were he's eating CD-i Link in front of CD-i King.
That would be an improvident waste of resources, considering the hype-inducing excitement Ridley would generate if he were to be announced at the massive commercial advertisement that is E3 2014. If Ridley were to be a secretive character (who would more-than-likely be leaked in advance, anyhow), I would find it highly questionable, although particularly relieved he is even playable.Does anyone think Ridley would be a secret character? Y'know, provided he actually is in the game?
Believe it or not, the leader status the greasy, unwashed masses have bestowed that fool with don't actually make his arguments any more competent.A certain individual has apparently returned to the forums via the Social - SSB4 Thread (I will not name names, but it should be self-evident as to who I am referring to), so I would advise the utmost caution if he (perhaps inevitably) betakes himself within this particular message board. A warning, if you will..
Seeing that image of Boss!Ridley makes me wonder: how big is that model compared to Angelglory's modifications of Ridley? We know that Little Mac was made larger as a playable character, compared to his rather small stature as an Assist Trophy, so I'm trying to imagine just how small Ridley would have to be made as a fighter.He was revealed to be a boss from one of the few early Japanese copies floating around, so technically it was from a leak.

This is the exact image which deconfirmed him:
The difference between our current situation and the one pre-Brawl is that Ridley is speculated to be on a stage which we've seen a **** ton of times. We didn't get any SSE footage besides the Petey Piranha and Rayquaza cutscenes until Brawl released.
I would agree to an extent. Some popular characters can afford to be kept secret, provided some of the other popular choices are still prevalent in the game as well. I would like to think Ridley would be shown off at E3, if he is playable. But I'm not banking on that being a 100% guarantee. If anything, Mewtwo's return seems like the most ideal thing for E3, funnily enough. Since, despite being an older character, he'd bring the most hype of them all. But who knows, they both could end up being shown at E3. That'd be cool.

I took that one from a person called The King who imitates the CD-I King on Miiverse obviously :3I like the one were he's eating CD-i Link in front of CD-i King.
Do we?We know that Little Mac was made larger as a playable character, compared to his rather small stature as an Assist Trophy
Exactly. I personally wouldn't mind if Ridley was indeed BIG, it would definitely be his selling point being considered as the largest playable character ever - and he'd probably stay that way too in the future further maintaining being "big" as one if his "things", and also setting the limit as to how big a character can be.Which is why I feel Ridley's going to be around the same size as his boss fight. So yeah, I feel he'll be big. But I don't see it as an issue; I see it as his main selling point.
I like this idea. Ridley's tail should be shortened whenever he's not attacking with it (considering it can shrink and stretch at will), and, since his tail is, legendarily, often the only part of him that you can't hurt, it would have no hitbox while idle, and be disjointed while attacking.Having Ridley slightly bigger than SSB4 Bowser with his Other M proportions, shorter tail at default, and sideways wings at default would be the best option.
The first one I saw was the one I linked. Kind of glad that my hopes were crushed at an instant now.This one was actually leaked/posted first, but without context/confirmation of anything.
Ironically from that angle, he seemed like he was a decent/playable size. We literally held on hope until the end.
Samus definitely looks bigger than Little Mac in that Brawl pic. See how she's crouched down compared to Little Mac, whereas in the SSB4 pic she's standing upright? Then again, it might be because of the angle. He doesn't look that sized up, so I could be wrong.Do we?
Seems about the same to me.

Hey, your signature has my miiverse drawing in the center :3I took that one from a person called The King who imitates the CD-I King on Miiverse obviously :3
Then you are very welcome in here.Hey, your signature has my miiverse drawing in the center :3
Wishful thinking says a combination of the two.So would playable Ridley be portrayed as a brute monster who makes roars and screeches or a brute who can speak English/Japanese/human language.? In the manga he talks but in the games he just makes a bunch of sounds. Hmm
Well to be fair, both models are based off of different games/sizes in mind. in the original Mac was only 4'8", while in the reboot we got scaled up to 5'7".Do we?

Strangely, the Other M Zamus model is scaled to be around 1.64m while the Power Suit model is 1.9m.Well to be fair, both models are based off of different games/sizes in mind. in the original Mac was only 4'8", while in the reboot we got scaled up to 5'7".
Then there's the whole vague size change Samus went through in Other M (supposedly she was 6'3" according to the Super Metroid manual, but Other M had her around mid-5'-ish. This is further muddled by the cutscenes of the latter game, where apparently every male in the GF towers over Samus, while later in their power suits they're a bit more even bar Manthony's huge ***).
I miss Oasis being our size reference guide.
Hopefully his reveal trailer will give him enough footage to where he can more easily tell Samus to "just forget about love."I will try, lol.
That's gonna be tough.
And I complain and moan about Pyrosphere comments. That must have been agonizing.This one was actually leaked/posted first, but without context/confirmation of anything.

Yup, in fact I'm actually pretty confident that Sakurai himself is mostly unaware of the arguments that take place. Unlike some people, I don't Sakurai would give second thought on resizing Ridley if he truly wanted him playableI just felt like bringing that up. It's something that always interested me, the way that fans of a video game literally made up their own argument against a character that the developer of said game has never even given reason to bicker over.
Obviously monster noises, as speech would be down-right silly IMO. Mangas can usually get away with it since it's only text, but actual voiced over Ridley would be pretty laughable to be honest. Not to mention the fact that the illusion of him being an alien species would be somewhat muffled with English voicing. Besides, Ridley will without a doubt be based on his appearances in the games, not the debatable canon status of the manga (which, besides maybe Ridley's characterization and the Chozo, isn't all that good anyway IMO)So would playable Ridley be portrayed as a brute monster who makes roars and screeches or a brute who can speak English/Japanese/human language.?

I'm pretty sure the manga is, without a doubt, canon, and it doesn't help that Other M Samus was supposedly based on her appearance/personality in the manga. Though there's a difference between being emotional and timid when you've literally only fought in training, and being emotional and timid after you've blown up two planets and eradicated two or three entire alien races and killed the dude who killed your parents four or so times.Besides, Ridley will without a doubt be based on his appearances in the games, not the debatable canon status of the manga (
