Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Mypantisgone]

Honestly that Sakurai quote is so worthless. He says it's pretty impossible to add Ridley. Then he says it's not impossible if they try hard enough. Then he asks us if it's ok if Ridley turned out slow.

He basically said nothing.

Personnally, you don't need the second part to know it doesn't make sense.
Pretty impossible.

Pretty impossible?

A little impossible?

Partially impossible?

sacori pls

Who cares what the casuals think?

Those who didn`t developed Super Mario Bros 2. Lost Levels and everyone once was a casual before becoming true gamer/fan. If there would be no casuals, then there would be no such things as info on characters in more than 1 game and no gamers since you have to be a casual guy first...i guess...But they do care what the casuals think.

Just some weeks until E3 and the truth shall be revealed

 

[Kind Dedede]

I just want Classic Ridley, aka the one from melee trailer. Anything else just looks blah in comparison

 

[Deleted member]

Purple Super Metroid Ridley for me, I hate how he only appeared in Purple with his worst designs(except Brawl, which is also cool)

But in Prime he was purple too! His armor and cybernetic parts wasn`t, but he still was puple, especially Omega Ridley. And Brawl Ridley is fully organic version of Prime 1 Meta Ridley with few differences.

I never played the Prime games, but, Omega isn't fully organic, with purple Ridley I meant one that is naturally purple(Roidley, NES Metroid)

This ridley in this is faster than samus in this game crawling and flying

And this ridley is as fast as pikachu in this game flying and hes not dashing thats dedinatly the fasted walk speed if playable telling by his body form when moving

The problem is this. There are FOUR land movement speeds.

1) Dashing / running
2) Full walk
3) Half walk
4) Slow walk

Ridley moving faster than Pikachu's FULL walk would be fast. But Pikachu is walking on only his back legs, which is a thing he ONLY does in his half and slow walks. Which means Pikachu is moving pretty slowly, especially compared to just about everyones' running speeds. Which is how fast everyone is going to be going on a fight.

I always had thought that Omega's skin looked kind of a pale purple because they are actually exposed muscles because he was regaining his organic tissue. But still purple.

Wait...

Shokio is one of the 16 chosen?

Uh...why?

Anyone got a source for that?

This is not true at all. Shokio will be at E3 but not in the competition. He sucks at Smash lol. There getting the best of the best for the competition.

Ehi guys I thought about something during these days and ,if i'm not wrong , shokio got an invitation fot the E3 ...
so shokio is one of the 16 players of the "Smash Invitation" ... but why did they call him ?

think 2 are the ways :
1- Masahiro thinks Ridley's too big so he wants to thank one of the most iconic toobigots
2- Ridley is playable, Masahiro is going to reveal him at E3 and he wants to see his face when it will happen ()

???

He must be talking about this.

Lolo Lolo must be confused.

One thing I thought about was that if Ridley isn't a playable character, how would he be represented in the 3DS version? He is too big of a part of the Metroid-series NOT to be represented in the game. A trophy only wouldn't be enough I'd think. We know he's not an AT with two Metroid-AT's already (Mother Brain and Dark Samus), and we know he _might_ be a stage boss on Pyrosphere, but that's (seemingly) only on the Wii U and not the 3DS. I don't know if Smash Run will have bosses or something, or if the 3DS-Metroid stage will have a stage boss, but just something I wondered about.

EDIT: And Metroid as an AT of course.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

You forgot Metroid.

 

[Bravetriforcer]

You forgot Metroid.

Isn't he playable?

 

[AustarusIV]

Well, I saw the "Smash Bros. 4: The Ridley Debate" video. He makes some good points in Ridley's favor for someone who's in truth indifferent to another Metroid rep. He managed to raise my hopes somewhat for Ridley's inclusion.

But still, why did Sakurai show Ridley's shadow? Is it really just trolling the fanbase?

No, we're all just playing a big practical joke on you specifically. Sakurai's in on it too.

But yes, when every other time Sakurai's deconfirmed a character with a PotD and talking about them directly, Ridley's shadow can be filed under "trolling."

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Don't be ridiculous, Metroid is too small to be playable, and has overall poor moveset potential.

 

[Deleted member]

But Metroid can't crawl!

 

[AndreaAC]

I think i find it kind of funny how Sakurai says something is not playable, even if it is obvious.

with Waluigi I think he said : "He is an assist trophy again. That means he's not playable."....and with Ridley he said nothing like that....and only showed the shadow....

Sakurai has been avoiding even saying his name ever sense the beginning. Only calling Ridley "An enemy from Samus's past" and in the Japanese version calling him "Samus's trauma" and then avoiding showing him or again saying his name and just leaving us with a shadow.

I really wish that Sakurai could read this thread, if Ridley is indeed playable, I wonder what he would think

 

[Renji64]

so much thrist for a purple dragon it is saddening.

Probably some sort of obstruction of his larynx by his epiglottis, causing irregular air intake and respiratory upset.

Ohh right, how could I forget that haha! Anyway, Ridley's 3DS-representation remains to be seen I guess, I'm especially intrigued how he's shown there if he's not playable.

Which means Pikachu is moving pretty slowly, especially compared to just about everyones' running speeds. Which is how fast everyone is going to be going on a fight.

Wrong i've seen pikachus walk animations i can tell easily thats his full walk he only goes on 4 legs in his dashing annimation

Fairly certain we haven't gotten any news on who will play at the tournament, the guy probably mixed it up with Shokio simply going to E3. I wouldn't be against a M2K vs Shokio match though, especially when taking into consideration M2K is a Ridley supporter.

This could be used to watch it even slower but I think we got all the info we could possible get out of the shadow clip.

Good job only thing missing from it was that part with Ridley jumping at the end. I believe its his single jump.

ok that's good

heres another size comparsion of mother brain and ridley

by where ridleys tail was when iit appear hes not in the same place mother brain is either on top or ever so slightly back from the center

True but we still have the center heptagon to go off of. Not sure if your up for the task but could you shrink the Ridley shadow picture until the heptagon in the center is the same size as the heptagon in the Mother Brain picture and kinda fuse them together? Or put them side by side?

I will see what I can do and the gif was so handy I was able to created a kingpin version of pikachus size to ridleys tail tip

 

[majora_787]

I tested this myself recently. Pikachu goes on four legs in his full walk animation and only goes on two legs in his half walk or slow walk.

 

[Empyrean]

People should probably stop overly analyzing stuff. Yes, we don't know Ridley's fate yet, but chances are we will soon, whether at E3 or through a PotD. No point examining a shadow of all things when everything needed to be said has been done so already. Some people do indeed bring up compelling points, but repeating them a thousand time each day and clogging the thread with size comparisons won't get us anywhere. It's just a waste of everyone's time and efforts, time that could be spent finding more of dem sexy Ridley fanarts.
