found it through google on this guys deviantart

 

[Diddy Kong]

Also, Sorry for Snatching the 2000th post Strong One.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

TBH, I imagine Ridley on all 4's moving more like a giant ape for some reason

 

[Banjodorf]

That animation is perfect!

I <3 it so much! Although I still like the "hovering" they use in SSBC for his run animation, although with that model it might look a little awkward.

 

[Oasis_S]

While that animation is pretty neat, I don't think it fits well as any Smash walk/run cycle.

How so?

I think it would look great as a walk.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Think I agree with Oasis on this one. Cool as that animation is, something about the flow, style, or somethin of it just seems like it would not translate too well into a Smash walking animation.

I know, it should be his crawl animation. Would be useless though, like bowser's.

I ASSUME he's going to stand while idle. If he's going to go on all-fours, then immediately going down from a standing positionwould look unnatural. Doesn't... transition well? Pikachu is a good example of this. His slower walk would need to be walking bipedally. But that walking animation also looks too slow for a fast walk. Speeding it up would look silly. I envision a sort of... three-legged gallop? With one arm raised ready to attack. But that's just been my way to work in a more blood-thirsty personality into Smash.

Getting him to crawl on all-fours could definitely work I think. For walking though, I just don't think it would work well. ALSO MAY JUST BE BIAS BECAUSE I THINK IT LOOKS DUMB REALLY.

I totally agree with the gallop part.

But I don't envision Ridley standing straight up. Kind of hunched over. His slow walk would be him walking on his hind legs, while his normal walk would look kind of like the animation. If he's already hunched over, the transition wouldn't look very weird. Finally his dash would be a gallop like you suggested.

That's what I imagine anyways.

seeing how trying to imagine ridley crawl is awkward, that could be a fitting crawl animation. I'm among the strain that thinks it wouldn't be could for a walk, though, because of aforementioned awkwardness.

 

[Diddy Kong]

C'mon now, his crawl animation should be that?

 

[FalKoopa]

C'mon now, his crawl animation should be that?

I cant of a better use for it... :/

 

[Diddy Kong]

I do.

Make it his walking animation?

 

[FalKoopa]

He should walk like Charizard IMO.

I always thought Ridley would be best-suited with his menacing walk from Prime 3's Omega Ridley fight.

Being unfamiliar with the Metroid series, I only remember that particular video because it was linked pre-Brawl to prove that "Ridley could walk," since "him always flying" was a common talking point of the anti-Ridley goon squad way back when.

 

[Oasis_S]

Oh my goodness that's an embarrassing memory. Literally having to get people to observe what those two large dangling appendages at the bottom of Ridley's torso are, and also identify what action it was they were doing when they were wiggling around in rhythm.

And yeah, that walk from the video should be his slow walk, a sort of gallop as his fast walk, and a glide as his dash.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

That walk is perfect for his slow walk.

Were people honestly saying he couldn't walk?

 

[HylianHeroBigBoss]

The one they would make for this game would definitely be much more refined and cohesive with its transition than the one i posted a page back. I think making him much more feral with some of the on all fours running and what not would give him something all his own among the other fighters. The omega ridley walk animation is ok, but it comes off a bit like a monster in a suit just based on the way he carried himself.

 

[Oasis_S]

That walk is perfect for his slow walk.

Pretty much.

"He only flies. He never walks. You can't have a character that only flies."

I don't specifically remember someone saying he "can not" walk, but for people to be dense enough to not imagine him actually using his legs is ridiculous.

It's funny reading through this thread and seeing basically the same discussion we had in the pre-brawl days. TBH though I'll always like Ridley as a character my fervor from back then is actually embarrassing in retrospect, I can't possibly work myself up about it now like I used to back in the day. Did I really bother to post all those things?

I hope he makes it, I guess. You can pretty much put any character you want into a video game, the only limitations that matter are development time and resources which limit the pool to well-known characters. Arguing about anything else is pretty pedantic.

I can definitely relate to that.


What would you guys do if he was a boss again?

 

[cleverprofilename]

What would you guys do if he was a boss again?

Maybe he'll just be in the starting scene.

 

[FalKoopa]

I can definitely relate to that.


What would you guys do if he was a boss again?

I'll sit in peace and watch the flame wars and trollings erupt.

 

[Oasis_S]

I will tell ChronoBound to put the gun down.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I can definitely relate to that.


What would you guys do if he was a boss again?

I'd all be like:

"Well, he WAS too big after all"

 

[Phaazoid]

He's unlock-able, but to unlock him, you need to clock a year's worth of matches

 

[Diddy Kong]

What if he's a boss first, and then when you beat him you actually unlock him as a surprise?

 

[FalKoopa]

What if he's a boss first, and then when you beat him you actually unlock him as a surprise?

THIS.

Spoiler

10x this

 

[Phaazoid]

What if he's a boss first, and then when you beat him you actually unlock him as a surprise?

but when you try to play him, there's a disk error because he's too big for the stage.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

He's going to be the first DLC, but the file size is larger than the wii u can hold

 

[Diddy Kong]

And then you get a patch update for Smash which makes Ridley the stage.

 

[Phaazoid]

you need two TV's to be able to play on that stage, though.

 

[HylianHeroBigBoss]

You can only unlock him via imax screen

 

[Swamp Sensei]

You can only unlock him via imax screen

So to unlock Ridley. You take Charizard, buy his purple DLC costume and make him eat lots of food! He will get so big and fat, he'll be Ridley.

 

[Deleted member]

You unlock Ridley.......


for a new Godzilla fighting game.

 

[FalKoopa]

He will get so big and fat, he'll be Ridley.

You got that wrong, you'll have to make him starve.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

You got that wrong, you'll have to make him starve.

But he's too big...
