Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[False Sense]

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like things are becoming more and more positive for Ridley as of late. I still think he's more than likely not playable, but...

I will say this much. Before the Direct, the Pyrosphere was shown quite frequently, in both pictures and game footage. What I (and many others) read that to mean at the time was that the Pyrosphere was possibly a hazard-less stage, or at least one that wasn't particularly dangerous. Considering how often they showed it, it would have been rather difficult to hide Ridley through all of that. After the Direct, that hasn't really changed. There's only that one scene where Ridley appears at all. The Pyrosphere is still shown pretty frequently in pictures and footage, and there's still no sign of Ridley.

Maybe this means nothing at all and they're just really good at hiding Ridley or just use some kind of debug feature to remove him temporarily while they're making those pictures, but on the other hand...

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Could be worse. Could be Oompa Loompa Ridley

Kraid got it worse, though.

Captain N, the show of my nightmares.

 

[Kind Dedede]

Show of nightmares, you its not The Magic school bus? Ridley was probably the escaped iguana gone hybrid

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Oh i will show it later or tomorrow but

I think sakurai cut the footage a little (meaning like deleted scenes)

 

[Snagrio]

You know what's gonna suck? The second playable Ridley appears at E3, I won't be able to focus on anything else during the rest of the show, and the rest of the week...

 

[SchAlternate]

Junk.

Just Kraid messing with Ridley. It's like any good brotherly relationship.

I tried to emulate FuPoo's style here.

Why not? You have already known that Ridley was going to be playable for awhile now, it wont be that surprising during the actual reveal. I could understand hype for the rest of the week, but the show must go one. Ridley is only the beginning.

 

[AndreaAC]

Not that I wasn't expecting the hybrid thing to happen, but it just still hurts my pride....

And I'm so nervous to see how it looks like that I'm feeling kind of sick...

Man I miss Brinstar Depths.

Actually, what DOES Kraid do in the Space Pirates besides hang out in caves and have decoys hanging around?

Mother Brain is in charge of organization and acts as leader of the Space Pirates until otherwise incapacitated, Ridley is in charge of military operations and commands the Space Pirates when Mama Brain isn't around...what does Kraid do?

And how did they get him in that cave in the first place?

I'm sure the hybrid design is there so that the default costume will be at least tolerable to look at. Sakurai has had two years of listening to fan complaints and looking over the design of Other M Ridley to refine it to something more pleasing, I'm sure.

Besides, we've seen a couple of alternate costumes already. Though the Brawl costume would be easiest to do, I kinda want to see the Zero Mission version, myself.

He's supposed to serve as a military secondary commander as well as a guard to the Varia Suit using his massive girth, of course. Maybe.

If it looked like that, oh I would feel glad, but it seems that Sakurai is using more of the Other M thing, ZSSamus has that freaking Other M version of it, the only thing that changed is her hair, and those wierd heels....the same with the Varia suit.....BUT let's see what Sakurai can come up with in Ridley's case...so I will try to relax a bit....

Ridley: So why do YOU get the decoys and body doubles while I'm stuck without any diversions?

Kraid: My job's super-important. This Varia upgrade? I'm suppose to dispense it to any Zebesian that wants to go to Norfair.

Ridley: And that requires you to have a body double.

Kraid: Yeah, pretty much. How about you?

Ridley: Well, MY job is to kill the damn bounty hunter that slaughters us while you sit on your green *ss and eat potato chips! Seriously, I swear that you'd eat her Super Missiles if given the chance, you fat slob!

Kraid: That sucks. A shame Mother Brain didn't whip up some fakes for you. I'll talk to her, see if she can get you some ninja pirates.

Ridley: Now I remember why I keep you around.

And he didn't! No Godzilla Brain assist trophies to once again represent Other M!

And even if Sakurai wanted to inject some Other M into Mother Brain, it would have been easy to give Mother Brain a mouth and teeth in her jar form. You can see it in Super Metroid that she has a mouth even in her first form. And most importantly, he COULD have given her a golden eye like in Other M, but it's just boring brown! (which is a little confusing, I could have sworn she had a red eye. Or was it an irisless eye?)

Yeah....you are right about that....well, if the Other M oversaturation happens....I just hope Sakurai gets an alternate appearance that just looks like Ridley...

 

[Snagrio]

Well, here's what I promised. It's a bit short though.

Spoiler

"What have I done…?"

Rain fell heavily, covering the surrounding meadow like a wet blanket. Some of the water struck a figure shielding himself from the precipitation with his great leathery wings. Within the walls of his own self-made tent, Ridley stood absolutely still. He wasn't alone, for in the dragon's palms laid the deceased form of Rosalina, the only person to show him kindness and, beyond all odds, love. Tears flowed out from the space pirate's softened eyes before cascading onto the limp body he held with the greatest of care in his bloodied clawed hands.

"Rosalina, I didn't mean to…to…"

Gently, Ridley brushed the galactic overseer's golden hair with a single finger, trailing down her forehead before stopping just above her closed eyelids, eyelids that will never open again and greet him with their warm welcoming expression. With a slight accidental press, the tip of his claw drew a tiny drop of red liquid from her cold complexion. More tears fell to mix with the blood of the lifeless, swirling together before dripping unto the still dry ground beneath them.

A great unbridled cry rang though the torrent as Ridley mourned the loss of his beloved. He couldn't believe it. She was gone. Nothing could bring her back. The one light in his otherwise dark existence, destroyed.

"What everyone said is true, I am a monster."

The dragon drew her body close for an embrace, uncaring of the crimson result on his ribbed chest. His wings wrapped tighter around them as he rocked back and forth like a child on a swing.

Ridley stayed in that position for a time, comforted that Rosalina was still in his protection, even though he knew that her spirit had long since left.

Suddenly, voices reached Ridley's ears amongst the pouring rain.

"Where-a is Miss Rosalina?"

"I think she went over there!"

A group of Smashers were coming, looking for the missing celestial maiden.

The lavender dragon exhaled slowly, steam pillowing from between his glistening teeth. He knew the search party would find them eventually, and that they would find him guilty for Rosalina's untimely demise. With a resolved look, Ridley stood up, fully aware that he couldn't stay with her any longer.

"I have no choice."

Reluctantly, the fragile woman was placed at the foot of a nearby tree, her hands carefully rested atop her unmoving chest.

Ridley spread his wings, ready to take off, but took one last look towards the one that proved to the world that he could be more then a senseless beast, and noticed something that rocked him to his reptilian core. Rosalina, with bloody tresses covering her eyes, sported the smallest of smiles. Even in death she still radiated joy.

Closing his steely yellow orbs, Ridley turned away for the final time and took to the sky. He blocked the screams and wails that reverberated through the air soon after his departure. The space pirate had heard these sounds of agony before and even used to relish every earful, but he couldn't listen to the cries this time, or ever again.

It just sounds funny when he talks and i instantly imagine him saying something different. Mostly because of Super Gaming Bros. and their jokes. At least you didn`t used Pikachi...but yeah, what is done is done.

Wanna cheer up? Then watch this:

He WILL knock you all down. And just F̧҉ ̀E͠҉̀ȨL҉ ҉҉ ҉̀͠ TḨ҉Ȩ̧̧̧̧̧̧̧̧̧͠ ҉̀҉ V҉҉ ҉O͠҉I̧̧҉҉ D҉҉ ...yeah, its kinda off-topic...Dancing Garland and Exdeath for Smash 4!

Its a metaphor for life.

Times of joy and laughter will be interrupted by tragedy without any warning. But we must heal, continue on, and learn to laugh again.

Dang, this thread got deep.

God I love Exdeath.

Shipping for me have been kinda an oddity. I almost never seriously ship, and I only romantically pair characters together for just how bizarre and hilarious a pairing it can be, rather than any romantic reason they belong together.

Take my avatar for example.

...Then why you didn`t made Exdeath X Wispy Woods or something like that?

Dang, this thread got deep.

I promise you we will make jokes on the next pages. A lot of them. If we won`t, then you can promptly shoot me.
