Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Oasis_S]

I've seen things done with his tail...

Things that can't be unseen.

Thank you internet...

Ribbed for her pleasure.

 

[Diddy Kong]

The fact that it's purple also doesn't help...

I'm gonna stop this and just wait till the next page...

Gentlemen, the conversation is yours.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I don't think Red Ridley would be any better

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Black Ridey?

 

[Ridley_Prime]

This is why whatever happens in rule34 should stay there.

 

[TheCreator]

What have I done....

 

[Robert of Normandy]

What have I done....

"What you had to do. What you always do: turn death into a fighting chance to live."

 

[Diddy Kong]

Just so I can sleep tonight....

 

[Opossum]

Ridley, my word. Have some decency.

The nerve of him, spreading his legs like that...

 

[Robert of Normandy]

My, Ridley, what a big 'tail' you have.

Spoiler

I guess he is too big after all.

 

[Diddy Kong]

You guys are terrible.

JUST SO YOU KNOW: Diddy currently has the longest tail in Smash.

It's always floppy though, he can never get it straight.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Thanks, Psycho. Now I need some brain bleach. *urk*

 

[Phaazoid]

It's the real reason Samus froze in unadulterated terror in Other M. They just don't show those flashbacks. Keeps the game's rating from being obscene.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

One question for everyone. Ridley's walk. Would he walk on all fours? Two legs? Fly?

Also to remind people. Ridley liked to grab people and stab them with his tail in Super.

 

[Phaazoid]

His slower walk would be on two legs, he would pivot sharp turns with all for, his run would be a low glide. IMO.

 

[Diddy Kong]

It should be kinda like Mewtwo and Charizard's dash, but sliiiightly slower than Mewtwo's in Melee I think.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Why slower than Mewtwo's?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Why slower than Mewtwo's?

To keep him slow on the ground perhaps?

 

[FlareHabanero]

His dash speed would be above normal, but his walking speed would be slow. Like Charizard basically.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

To keep him slow on the ground perhaps?

Being slow while walking on the ground is one thing, but I don't think his dash would be that slow.

edit: Basically what Habanero said.

I wasn't saying it was for the best. I was saying why Diddy probably said what he did.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Ridley could work with both extremes easily. He could either be very slow and heavy or fast and somewhat light weighted.

Out of those two, I'm more inclined to think slow and heavy as that's what Sakurai stated in the interview.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Same here. His aerial speed could still be somewhat good though.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

At least slow and heavy won't make him have a SSBM Mewtwo syndrome to any degree, right?

 

[Diddy Kong]

Nope.

Maybe Brawl Ganondorf syndrome though.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

....

I'm starting to worry about how good Ridley would be...

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Nope.

Maybe Brawl Ganondorf syndrome though.

With his flying/gliding I don't think that would necessarily be the case and even if it were, I would adapt, having mained Brawl Ganondorf myself.

 

[Oasis_S]

Who cares. What are you all a bunch of tourneygays.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Who cares. What are you all a bunch of tourneygays.

Strong men go into battle without items

 

[Ridley_Prime]

If I were a tourney*** I more likely would've mained Meta Knight or someone.

"OH I CAN'T PLAY RIDLEY BECAUSE HIS WINDSPEED ISN'T CONDUCIVE WITH HIS TUBERCLES WHAT A TERRIBLE CHARACTER HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN IN SMASHcaps."

ichu:

Good moveset design would surely help his popularity though. And I bet someone as Stubborn as you would not like to lose.

 

[Banjodorf]

Hey man, if Gimpyfish could make Bowser competitive, I'm sure someone as dedicated to Ridley could do the same if the worst were to happen.


Anything's possible, man!

This thread is reaching its 2000th post.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Shall we have a party?

Come on everyone, group hug!

 

[HylianHeroBigBoss]

I would kind of like it if ridley moved around on all fours like this, and then to bipedal for other moves and such.

 

[Diddy Kong]

That animation is just awesome! Given his tail should be sort of a disjointed hitbox anyway, I think I'll have to agree that Ridley should move around like that!

Similar to squirtle, i guess.
