Once someone posts here, he can never escape it...like a very large black hole incapable of killing or harming, but not letting something get out. You won`t escape it.
Rapidly mash :GCA: and :GCB: while pressing :GCU: and :GCD:at the same time to escape our thread.

And would at least Ridley alt for Charizard more-or-less lower our frustration/anger IF Ridley is confirmed as a boss?
And will any of the Metroid enemies be in Smash Run (it was called so, right?)?

Well, Kihunters were confirmed for Smash Run, so the last question of yours is kinda answered. Can't answer the alt one though, it deals with these crazy creatures called people.

Um...wasn`t they called "humanz"? Those pesky galactic federation creatures that will pay for our commander`s defeat at hands of Samus, Adam and...Sakurai!..ok, maybe only former 2, but still..!..Oh, wait, they are peoples. Nevermind.
So, there will be those suicidal Kihunters and...no one else is confirmed for now or..?

Not only humans will judge the applicability of roster, and you should know that the best.

As of enemies, Kihunters are at the moment indeed only ones confirmed, though this is something that is obviously subject to change. I'm not sure what would make sense though.

I won't directly reply to Alex Night so he won't be notified again, but...

I don't give a crap how anybody else felt when their character got excluded. At least when it comes to this twisted form of empathy that has people think they're saving others from some horrible fate. It's not a rescue from disappointment. It's an annoying, grating plea to give up hope. To ignore evidence and drop support for a character because they think it isn't going to happen.

People should decide these things purely on their own accord. If their choice is inevitably going to lead them to frustration and even whining, then know what? So be it! Let them openly complain and whine and curse Sakurai. Welcome to the Smash Bros. fan base! It'll pass over time and we'll all look back and laugh. Or clench our fist in quiet bitterness.

The only time some sort of intervention should occur is when there's a genuine belief in a genuine falsehood where there is no evidence or possibility. Where the fabrications of the mind is the only thing being desired. Such as Goku getting in SSB4. :rolleyes:

If people wanna believe Ridley still has a chance, let it be. If people wanna believe Toad still has a chance, let it be. If people wanna believe K.Rool still has a chance, let it be. If people wanna believe Reggie Fils-Amie still has a chance.... Well I think it's far-fetched, but let it be!

If somebody wants to believe Barrack Obama can be a playable character, let's intervene then.

Hey, guys, look! Another proof of Sakurai slapping the 'Not-playable Hammer' on someone! Check the Miiverse pic today.

RIP Dillon for Smash
2013-2014
My third most wanted character. Oh well, I'm happy he's getting represented at all and as an assist trophy to boot! Maybe if he gets more games under his belt, he can get promoted for the next Smash.

Ridley and Isaac are still my top two most wanted. Even if it doesn't look good, I'm going to keep holding out hope for both of them. Going to go the distance. :)

This, on every count. What good does it do to lose faith? It's just a game. If Ridley is in, then he's in. If he's not, then he's not, but there's no reason to drag someone else down because you've lost hope.

Good point. Its something that you believe in by yourself if you want to and you don`t believe if you don`t want to. Forcing someone to decide something is impossible unless mind control will be possible.

...Obama for Smash 4!
Nah, King Kihunter was confirmed as a trophy. Kihunter(s) did appear in Smash Run footage (though that virtually implies it gets a trophy too).
I kinda want him to be a boss either in Metroid stage or Smash Run if there is any.

RIP Dillon for Smash
2013-2014
And instead of doing same to Ridley if he is deconfirmed, he instead burns him in the flame of unknown status or something like that (geez, that ruined this line/words!). But at least Dillon will RIP while resting in peace instead of not being in this game.

Dillions deconfirmed another one for the evidence that he deconfirms characters directly not indirectly like the shadow
Yep and it so happens to be one of the most requested characters worldwide getting this shadow treatment. Extremely suspicious.

People of course will still say "Nahhh just a coincidence".

I said this out of anger when I was talking with a friend of mine...

"I mean how Ridley could not be playable now? he had appeared in every smash bros in one way or another, had appeared in every metroid game except Metroid II, Hunters and Echoes, appeared in Nintendo land and has nearly 30 years existing. With little Mac Sakurai said "He has been a fan favorite for 25 years", Ridley isn't a fan favorite too? And little Mac has been in only 3 games and a fat cameo.... and Greninja has existhed for only 2 year or whatever and he gets to be in....What the hell is wrong with Sakurai?"

View attachment 13368
"..."

I was like that when I was writing it...*sigh* I really don't understand that man.....
Peace, Andrea, relax.

I have some understanding of the guy. He's obviously a lighthearted man who does listen to the fans. He also likes taking delight in teasing fans, but when the time comes to announce bad news, he is direct and to the point.

He also likes foreshadowing elements, like Rosalina with Mario Galaxy, Little Mac since the first trailer, and Greninja with the Prism Tower. I would go so far as to say that all the Pyrosphere teasing solidifies Ridley's place on the roster, much in the same way fans dismissed Little Mac because his stage had the Smash Bros. logo plastered everywhere.

The only thing I can't understand is why show Warioware/Warioland Assist trophies before Wario himself...

Yeah....I know...., it took me 10 seconds to relax and some stress relief mist....

You are right in all that....specially in the "directly and to the point" like what happened today with Dillon.

Of course they will. After all, Shadows are 100% concrete evidence.
No, you are wrong. The fact that he wasn`t a playable character in that leak i saw today is 200% concrete and total evidence, so, its sucks to be you, Ridley support- *gets promptly shot*
Thats not the worst thing those pesky humans may think of. Lets make sure they will pay for such idiocity! Lets unleash our Princess commander Ridley on them!
And @ AndreaAC AndreaAC , thanks, i can no longer take him seriously after your drawings. At all. Even when he murders/kills Samus` mother. I just imagine him in that dress or tanooki suit and...lets just say i have similar feeling as anyone does during Aerith`s death in PC version with one of the guys dancing because of the glitch in the programming...or just because of the models themselves...but that doesn`t matters.

I was being sarcastic, I just forgot to Italicize. I support Ridley as a playable dude 87.65%(the other 13.45% goes to K. Rool support.)

And i wasn`t sarcastic at all! And you are SO delusional if you think that pretodactyl will ever be in SSB because he is TOO BIG! And Sakurai already said that he was impossible and he said that he is a boss after revealing Pyrosphere stage! I wanna Naruto to be insead! WAAAAAAAH!!! *gets promptly shot, then gets lungs ripped out and eyes burnt down to nothing by Ridley*
This is somewhere near 90% of the posts at GamesFAQ i saw. There IS sane peoples, but...no, really, WHY ONLY RIDLEY GETS THIS TREATMENT?!

Oh.....you're welcome? I guess......but Ridley is kind of lucky, because even if i put him in a dress....I never put him like those two.....

I dunno, honestly. He doesn't deserve all the hate he gets.

But if he really is too big, guess we gotta close down the thread and cancel Pyrosphere. While we're at it, might as well lock ourselves in an asylum for being delusional.

There we go dilon deconfirmed WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS again. Like seriously Sakurai was clearly aware that some people wanted him (even to mention it when waluigi got deconfirmed). So, why he wouldn't be aware of ridley and tell us clearly WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS that he's an hazard? Because the only time you would be delusional is to still hope AFTER Sakurai would have said "sorry ridley fan he's an hazard". I don't know about you but I still don't believe that everyone here that are hoping for him now are delusional. After all, I can prove that his situation is a proffesional troll that shouldn't make anyone certain if you only consider the facts. It's just a matter of speculation here. Yes I want him and I can prove it why it's legit to do so but I can prove with the same evidences how the opposite is legit to believe. The whole situation itself is the troll because, even if you know about it, I can prove the same things which is playable or not .

Basically, no one is delusional to believe that he will or won't be in so please, wait for any evidence that prove WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS his inclusion.

While Dillion was certainly interesting, I don't think he deserved a spot in the roster at this point, like a second kid icarus rep. But, that's just me and my opinions.
Including that Ridley deserves a spot. And that he's probably a boss. But maybe playable

dammit sakurai I don't wanna wait till the game's release xD

Nah, HE DESERVES! He just looks SO stupid and unnecesary! He will never be a playale character EVER no matter what game and what type of game! So, stop being so delusional and accept that HE IS A BOSS AND WILL NEVER BECOME A PLAYABLE CHARACTER! But Shadow, Big the Cat and Eggman will totally be!

...Im already in an asylum because im SO delusional and because i already idolized OUR GREAT AND GLORIOUS COMMANDER RIDLEY few times in this thread, so, i will wait for you, guys and AndeaAC.
Oh.....you're welcome? I guess......but Ridley is kind of lucky, because even if i put him in a dress....I never put him like those two.....

I agree. Dillon is a cool character, but I didn't foresee him being playable. However, I do feel bad for Dillon supporters, and for ourselves because Ridley's on that awkward abyss trying to find out his fate.

Curse you, Sakurai and your trolling!

I'll give you points for making it work. I'll laugh so hard if Ridley is a boss, because it's wasted potential.
What's the appeal for toad, anyways? He's a minor character in most games.

Don't wanna bring the discussion, but Toad is a generic char, Toad is the name of the species, not of the character there are even 2 in NSMB

The only thing on earth Dillon has to do with Ridley is uniting the fanbase to actually work together on character wants instead of on their own, which is what the Smash Fanbase should have done a long time ago, but hey whatever.

Back to Diddley I mean Ridley, I still feel there's no straight answer even after the direct. I mean I know the argument of "Why show him up that vaguely" exists but maintaining PR for a game like this is good. That's probably why we still have a few popular picks that will end up being AT's.
