Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Snagrio]

No worries, man, we've all been there! We're only humans.
Except you, you bird-snake freak of nature.

Your one to talk tentacled... ring wraith...guy.

Your one to talk tentacled... ring wraith...guy.

My avatar is actually a modified version of Hastur the Unspeakable. I made it gray-tone and added a few bone-related items.
Close enough to a tentacle ring wraith.

Wow..............seriously.....im speechless....
So....bad..............
This needs to end in June.

One can only think of so many points to talk about a character. It feels like we're kind of burning time until Ridley is (de)confirmed. If he is, then we can be like 'Holy crap, we were right! Pop the champagne!' and then continue to discuss things like balance, how he'll size up to the rest of the cast, and other things.

If he's deconfirmed, then we can lament for another 6 years until a possible SSB5 comes out and roll the dice again.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Coming out with some Bull* like that....
what if Wart was in melee instead of Bowser
That would be perfectly understandable and reasonablw right?

Mark my words Ridley will be playable.

RealTalk.

 

[Cyberguy64]

All this talk about Anthony getting in over Ridley has me thinking about this quote from the Other M Wrongpurae.

"I've got no style? I've been around since the early 90s! Who the f*** are you?"

Lets say Gdorf wasent playable in melee or brawl and Sm4shes Zelda roster was

Link
Zelda
Sheik
Toon Link
Girahim

If Ridley doesnt get in fine i understand but if we get another metroid character instead of Ridley and now ....Dark Samus because AT

@ DustyPumpkin - Dude its soo much Bull* to much to ignore.

I wish I could be as confident. I have hope, but I cannot say for definite that Ridley will be playable.

Do you honestly think thats gonna happen? Snap out of it man thats crazy talk. Your letting fools who know nothing about Metroid talk you down. If they really think Anthony Higgs will get in over Ridley then there acting like idiots or are idiots. Geez and they call us delusional.

****ing hilarious.

Didn't Anthony appear for like, 3/4 of the game then die anti-climactically to the very villain we're talking about?
Either Ridley will be a playable dude, or Metroid will not get a non-Samus character.

He is barely there at all. Barely can call him a character really. Honestly nothing would have changed if he wasn't there. He felt forced in.

This is the guy who people think is going to represent the Metroid franchise? Honestly, if anyone not named Ridley is getting it, the only person I'd every remotely consider is Sylux, if only for the fact he has a decent design and may be slightly interesting(but infinitely less so then Ridley.)

Ridley is the one true resident badass Metroid Representative, and if he doesn't make the cut, then we were never getting another to begin with.

Anthony Higgs doesn't deserve to be an Assist Trophy let alone a playable character. If it was gonna be anyone but Ridley then it was gonna be Dark Samus and we know how that went.

We haven't seen Zero Suit Samus Final Smash yet so I'd bet on the hunters or maybe Anthony Higgs (If he is lucky) will show up there.

 

[D-idara]

Am I the only one who would be overjoyed if both Ridley and Anthony Higgs were revealed on a Metroid-specific trailer like the Pokemon one?

I'd crap a brick if Ridley was a playable dude. If not for this thread, if I saw Anthony in the Smash Trailer, I'd go "Who the hell is that?"
Ridley would carry me through that emotion, though.

I'm just saying, of course Ridley and Ridley's the most important character right nao. But I would really like if Anthony was a playable character too, he was IMO, the most enjoyable part of Other M because he brought a certain lightheartedness to contrast how serious Samus was, and he also knew when to be serious, plus, he's got that 'space marine' flair that could finally give the Master Chief requesters their fix.

Kek.

Kek.

Unintentional pun, but a damn good one. Also, I love your signature! My friend and I make that joke all the time(he's an avid supporter of Palutena in Smash, and I made a note of spelling her name Paletuna one time, and he never let it go for me.

Honestly, it's not that I hate Anthony, but he just seems so bland as a character. The fact he looks like a space marine also irks me because no one in Metroid looked like that before(of the few Metroid games I've played),.

 

[AndreaAC]

Practice....I think I'm actually progressing with Omega Ridley....I just need to do the same as I did with Medusa....drawing him bit by bit and not fast....

Hmmmm...the...Space Marines from Metroid Prime? They were called GF Troopers, but they were pretty much Space Marines.

Oh yeah. I don't remember much from Prime(aside from Ridley ripping your powers from you, having to collect them, fighting some giant plant-monster thing on one world, and this ugly giant parasite queen) before my family accidentally sold it to Gamestop when we needed spare money. Alas, what could have been.

(If you want ridley)

And i do believe ridley is playable in my opinion

 

[majora_787]

So this isn't Ridley-related, but the Other M talk gave me a thought pertaining to space pirates. Would it be possible that the space pirates look different because they're different species (and therefore divisions) of pirates? Since apparently the ones from Metroid and Super Metroid are referred to as Zebesians, but the ones from Prime 3 at least are fromt he Pirate Homeworld (Called utrgrgrgrgr or whatever it's called).

I dunno, I'm just thinking about random shenanigans here. They DO seem to love picking tons of different species for things, if Ridley and Kraid being generals is any indication.

c: it's Urtraghus....and yeah, they seem to love picking different species for their forces....

 

[majora_787]

Urtraghus. There we go. That sounds like a location. But yeah I dunno, they seem to be picking different species from game to game, so they probably have different homeworlds for different divisions of Space Pirate or something.

 

[NocturnalQuill]

What's so frustrating about Ridley being dismissed by Sakurai is that there really isn't another rep that works that hasn't been eliminated (i.e. Dark Samus). The only other person from Other M of note is Anthony Higgs. I'll be honest, I REALLY didn't like Other M, so my opinion about him being included is extremely biased. Then again, "I'm gonna teach you a lesson about subtlety" made me die laughing at the irony. Maybe that could be a taunt.

I think what makes Metroid reps so difficult is that aside from a select few characters, almost all of them are giant monsters. I know that characters can be scaled and all, but only within reason. Ridley could probably work, but I'll admit that it would be a challenge.

The key to resizing Ridley is not actually about shrinking him. No, the obvious solution is to make everyone and everything except him larger. That way, the tooBigots would be satisfied Ridley wasn't shrunk, and everyone else can be satisfied Ridley is a playable character.

Could be worse.

Adam could be chosen over Anthony AND Ridley.

Lol. I mentioned it in a previous post, but I think posture would be the key to making him work. He should crouch or hunch over most of the time, which would make sense if he's fighting people way shorter than him. He'd only stand up for certain attacks, and his hitbox would never be that much bigger than Bowser's. It'd take a little smoke and mirrors, but it could be done.

I thought about that too at first, but I've noticed that dead characters never make the roster. Let me believe.

The dude's AI now.

On the bright side, he doesn't have a physical body to fight, and AI Adam isn't nearly the bureaucratic prick he was in Other M.

 

[Deleted member]

If dead characters never make the roster, then you shouldn't be hopeful for Ridley. Just sayin'.

 

[majora_787]

May the record show that I enjoyed Other M on a gameplay level and I still definitely think Adam, Anthony, and MB don't belong within five quadrillion lightyears of Smash Bros. *ESPECIALLY* over Ridley, but mostly just in general.

 

[Kirbizard]

Could be worse.

Adam could be chosen over Anthony AND Ridley.

No. Please, no. Just no.

Anthony I can at least entertain the thought of. Adam would be a kick in the face, and it worries me that he's technically possible.

Ridley doesn't die.
He merely takes vacations in hell.

#RidleyforthenextChuckNorris

Also, wasn't Ganondorf dead in Twilight Princess? I mean, technically he's destined to be reincarnated in the endless struggle of good and evil, but he made it into Smash Bros.

Technically he died in Twilight Princess and Wind Waker both on different timelines. GANON continued to be reincarnated in every timeline except the Wind Waker one. Ridley is basically the same way. Cloning? Healing? Machinery? Ridley doesn't do the whole 'dying' thing.

 

[NocturnalQuill]

Ridley always comes back in one form or another. Gannon is weird, some incarnations of him die and some live. He could qualify as an exception.

Death is for the weak.
Ridley eats the weak.
Ridley is death.

However, according to Lovecraft, given strange eons, even death may die... So let's hope Ridley has normal eons.
