Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Grimnir]

Well, there's also the Spirit Tracks stage to lead us to believe Toon Link was disconfirmed...

A Smash Bros. themed boxing ring stage to dull Little Mac's chances...

That Phosphora trophy stunt he pulled...

Using Pseudo-Palutena in the "Who's that trophy?" section...

Oh yeah, and setting up Greninja to resemble a Mewtwo reveal.

And are you seriously trying to say Saks is not a total tease? Anyone who says Sakurai is a serious developer who has never, EVER teased a character only to show them later is scraping the bottom of the barrel.

A few pages late, but nonetheless...

See, people really try and interpret things Sakurai does as teasing when in all likelyhood, they probably aren't. They're either simple fun on his part or just things that fans wildly misinterpret.

Did anyone think Little Mac's chances were dulled by the boxing ring stage? His chances were never called into question; just whether or not the stage belonged to him.

I'm not too sure what the Phosphora trophy stunt was. All I know is that her trophy was in a pic of the day.

The Pseudo-Palutena trophy...Christ. That was another case of one second of fooling us. Not to mention, I very much doubt Sakurai even had Palutena's playability status in mind with that. It seemed like just a simple gag playing on the similar appearances of the characters.

As for Greninja, this is very debatable. It's pretty obvious within the first few seconds that Mewtwo doesn't hang upside down (as far as I know) and that what it was forming was clearly a water shuriken. Even if it was his intention, the truth was still revealed within a minute.

This Ridley "tease" has been going on for months now starting with the Pyrosphere comment. To be fair, I do think Sakurai is teasing in a sense. I believe that he really believe that fans are looking forward to seeing Ridley make his appearance as the stage hazard/boss and that by only showing a little bit of him, they'll get more excited for the whole thing.

The whole "Sakurai is a big troll" thing started out as a simple joke which became a meme to the point where people started to truly believe it. Now they interpret his every single action as some sort of trolling scheme. It's really just in your heads.

 

[AndreaAC]

Maybe he wasn`t that important or just has a lot of small details that must be done...who knows, but we got few Samus figures already, so, maybe we will get his figure in the future...maybe after he is revealed as a playable character.

Yeah, that could possibly happen, and if not, I will go to take some sculpture advises and make my own...maybe also i could take some tips from industrial design on mass producing, but it would be way later...Oh well, I will just keep drawing him.

While you may be right, I still find it hard to believe that after 15 years of fan requests from around the world, including a very implicit request in an interview from Nintendo Power, that Sakurai believes that we're all extremely excited to see him dumped into a punching bag stage hazard/boss role. If he truly does believes so, then he deserves nothing but scorn and distrust from us.

 

[Welshy91]

So have things gotten any better around here in the past few weeks? The endless tug of war between "omg hes deconfirmed/omg no hes not" ended?

I really don't want to believe it either, and if Ridley is playable, I'll gladly wolf down my humble pie and ask for seconds.

The period between Melee and Brawl was when Metroid was at its peak poplularity and saw the most releases, with Ridley having a notable role in most of them. Brawl was the perfect time to add him. And yet, for a Metroid newcomer we got another version of Samus based on a very brief section of Zero mission. Ridley's importance to the Metroid series was never the issue. It really seems that Sakurai doesn't think he'd be a good character.

 

[BaganSmashBros]

If it will go into mass production - don`t forget to install mind-controlling devices that would make peoples love Ridley, idolize him and vote for him being next president playable.

Nah, it still continues, but our analysis team made a lot of...well...analisys, which makes us believe that his chances are 90:10.

He said that Villager won`t ever be in SSB. And he is still not in SSB, right? No?! But Sakurai said he can`t be. He can change his mind and maybe he just needed yet another boss for SSE and didn`t found someone better in-time.

 

[majora_787]

It doesn't even seem like Sakurai thinks he's a BAD character. His only quote on the matter made it seem like Sakurai thought he was a DIFFICULT character.

But now we have characters with ridiculously bizarre and unique movesets coming into Smash more than any game in the past. Smash Bros. is getting all kinds of crazy things going on in projectiles, counters, and other things to the point where we even have a puppeteer character which I would imagine is a lot more complicated to make work than a large character with a long tail.

The issue really is though, not "is sakurai teasing Ridley". That should actually be a question. We got a clip of his shadow in a stage with weird lighting while he has not been MENTIONED, SHOWN, OR acknowledged in any real way. There is nothing about what happened that was not a "tease". And the idea of Sakurai "teasing" one of the most wanted characters who is important to a major franchise anyway ONLY to deconfirm them later... It's not impossible, but it's a bad idea at the very least, and I want to give Sakurai more credit than that.

If he truly does believes so, then he deserves nothing but scorn and distrust from us.

I would just say that contrary to what some others may think of Ridley fans most the most part, it is he who is in fact the delusional one if he thinks hyping up this arch-nemesis fanfavorite as cannon fodder will actually make us all excited/happy/satisfied as can be, and leave it at that.

Regardless of what the result may be though, this last month before my birthdayE3 can't end fast enough.

 

[Grimnir]

He said that Villager won`t ever be in SSB. And he is still not in SSB, right? No?! But Sakurai said he can`t be. He can change his mind and maybe he just needed yet another boss for SSE and didn`t found someone better in-time.

His change of stance on villager is really part of the problem.

I don't think he said Villager will "never" be in Smash, just that he wouldn't fit in Brawl. Unfortunately, hopeful fans have latched on to the Villager example to offer hope for pretty much anything. Apparently, if he can change his mind on one thing, then he'll change his mind on everything else. I'll admit, I wasn't that interested in the new Smash Bros. at all, but when I saw Villager in, I too became very hopeful that maybe things will be different for other characters this time around, especially Ridley.

When I saw the "enemy from Samus's past" comment, alarm bells rang loudly in my head and I thought that was the end of Ridley's chances. But then days went by and he wasn't shown. This turned into weeks, and weeks into months. And then came the Nintendo Direct, which in no uncertain terms in the context of what Sakurai was discussing made it clear to me that Ridley will be a boss. That's when it really occurred to me that Ridley will never be a playable character in Smash Bros as long as Sakurai is the director.

So a question to the still hopeful: If Ridley is not in this game and Sakurai is still the director for the next Smash if there is one (which I'm sure he'll once again claim he's reluctant to make but Iwata thinks he's the only one for the job - but I digress), will you expect him once again and think he's a frontrunner or will you decide enough punishment is enough?

Oh, then i forgot that part of what he said.

"Enemy from Samus's past" can stand for any enemy she fough in the past, so, japanese version of that comment is kinda better since it basicly mentions Ridley instead of just enemy from Samus` past. But it never was said HOW he will appear on Pysorphere. Showing a shadow of something to deconfirm it is kinda weird since he already disconfirmed Waluigi, Skull Kid, Dillon, Dark Samus and someone i forgot by saying that they are assist trophies.

I will never give up. I will give up only if he won`t be in Smash 8, but i doubt it will ever happen (Smash 8).

 

[Dragomire]

I'm so hyped for Omega Ridley and Alpha Sapphire!

 

[Dark Phazon]

Guys, my Wii U can't load this page right now...

You guys, you actually managed to make this page TOO BIG !!

You willl need both the 3DS version and WiiU version to play as Ridley and they need to be connected together to select and play as Ridley thats why Sakurai has hold of for so long to reveal how the two versions will connect and how.

The whole feature was made and designed for Ridley.

Sakurai will reveal this feature at E3 why he didnt reveal it in the direct was because Iwata wasent there and Sakurai needs Iwata there so after the announcement Iwata can say ''Please Understand'' and that makes all bad/letdown news go away & not matter after them magical words because we all automaticly understand at E3 both Iwata & Sakurai will be there.

Also i spoke to Reggie Fils A-Mech he robo BroFist me and he gave me a leaked design sheet of how the feature will work (he told me not to show anyone the sheet)

We shook hands to agree that i wouldnt tell or show anyone but i had my fingers crOssed behind my backs so its all GooD.

I said is thats gone happen at E3?

''RealTalk?''

And he said yes ''RealTalk''

So i guess its legiT

Heres the sheet by the way

 

[Koopaul]

After all this, if Ridley isn't playable, we have a really good reason to be angry. Ridley is the only character he refuses to give a clear answer to. He's the only thing in the game he has hinted at multiple times. Why? Why do that?

 

[Dark Phazon]

And i created 2 golden bullets to defeat those ridley detractors

Now not entirely getting hopes up but i can't wait to see the looks on they're faces when ridley is confirmed playable

Give those 2 Bullets to ''Began'' so he can *promtly shoot* Shokio & Ultra.

 

[Phaazoid]

So have things gotten any better around here in the past few weeks? The endless tug of war between "omg hes deconfirmed/omg no hes not" ended?

I mean there's been no new actual info. Technically nothing's changed since the direct. There's a few less detractors, and we finally stopped talking about shadows and rock formations, though, so the thread is a bit more palatable now.

Thats about what happened

This thread is sure TOO BIG! I'll come back here once we hit 666 pages, in the meantime, I would like to know how much you believe Ridley is indeed playable:
Going to say, the last pages made me 99.9999999% sure that he's in

Who is "Began" by the way?

 

[Trigger123]

He kind of did.

My bad I kind of worded that wrong I meant that they say that ridley is disconfiirmed which he is not.
But I do feel he is pretty much confirmed as a stage hazard.

 

[Oasis_S]

Who is "Began" by the way?

It's a Japanese vegan who comes over to America.

99.9 perecnt sure at this point

But not getting hopes up

At this point the only thing that can deconfirm ridley now is if sakurai saids hes not playable i mean by my size thing with other shadows on the pyrosphere rosalina's shadow is almost as tall as ridleys shadow

I get the feeling that Sakurai is throwing us a MAJOR curve-ball about Ridley...
E3 2014 could be a happy day for us, Ridley supporters...

THIS is EXACTLY how the E3 crowd will react to Ridley's announcement as a playable character

Listen between 0:09 and 0:15...You'll hear the crowd chanting "RIDLEY RIDLEY RIDLEY"

You might want to count youtuber reactions on this WHEN ridley gets confirmed

Oh double post sorry

 

[OblivionWolf]

I'm right there with you 99.9% sure he is playable. Can't wait to see Kirby wearing a Ridley hat.

Hi there.
I've been following this discussion for a while now, and I must admit all the work you did to show that Ridley is indeed playable was pretty amazing.
However, I was wondering if we were not over reacting about his shadow. After all, like some of you pointed out, he was shown in the "Yellow Devil" section, where was mentioned that other boss characters will make their appearance...
What if, by showing the shadow, Sakurai just wanted to give people the answer concerning the enemy from the past Samus would have to face, without any hidden trick ? Maybe he thought that the answer concerning Ridley would be clear; he is not playable.

You really think Sakurai had a thought that deep when showing the shadow ? Making fans discuss about the fact he is playable or not ?

 

[Dark Phazon]

You of course !!! Hehehehe

@ Yoshi-Thomas that is very possible even though how absurd it would feel to most of us here after what has all happened.

Thats Why im very sceptile about his inclusion.

Me personally i never thought Ridley was a lock from day one and i havent changed that still to this day.

I Always thought he was possible from day one and i havent changed that still to this day.

What did changed since direct though is my belief if he will playable i dont think he will TBQH.

Edit: But thats just me/mythought/belief.

Better clear Example: no one would think Kamek cant be playable i wanted him playable i knew he wouldnt be though just because its the Controversal Ridley doesnt mean otherwise its the same situation.

Technically, boss characters appear in this game since Melee. But they wasn`t used as bosses. And yes, we do think so. Why wouldn`t he just deconfirm him like other characters (Skull Kid, Dark Samus, Dillon, etc)? That is the main reason why it is so suspicious. Clear answer is not showing a shadow with jerky movement and just weird size.

You of course !!! Hehehehe

Then you just made a grammatical error, huh? Anyway, i will try to not headshot them and instead aim for the eye since its kinda more painful way to get all of those facts into the head.

To be honest whats gonna hurt RealBad is how if Ridley aint playable we know Dark Samus wont be already....and in no way she would have been a clone
people who havent played or know about the Prime trilogy may have said She/it would be but thats far from truth as you can see from her/it as a Assist trophy.

Phazon Pillar shield to block projectiles
Charge Phazon Scattershot
Could have a absorb move likes Ness's down (B) to heal from projectiles.

So much potential....would be a damn shame....would have been more different to Samus than Wolf was to Fox....

If Ridley doesnt make it its all but Sure Metroid representation in this game is CruD......

I mean Why 3 Metroid assist trophies anyway? I dont get it.....LmAo and DK hasnt got one confirmed yet?
Is this Sakurai's way of throwing us a bone or is this going somewhere?

Can you imagine if they Reveal Kraid as a boss before wrapping up this Shadow thing?

Kraid a boss
Mother Brain a Assist
Tease or Jerk much

 

[ChunkyBeef]

See, people really try and interpret things Sakurai does as teasing when in all likelyhood, they probably aren't. They're either simple fun on his part or just things that fans wildly misinterpret.

Normally this would have been easier to swallow, 'cept Sakurai did tons of other things to make us question his intention in the Direct. Trolling about Zero Suit Samus, the Palutena/Pseudo-Palutena troll, hinting at Greninja, essentially doing the same thing in different ways about different characters that he did with Ridley.

As for Greninja, this is very debatable. It's pretty obvious within the first few seconds that Mewtwo doesn't hang upside down (as far as I know) and that what it was forming was clearly a water shuriken. Even if it was his intention, the truth was still revealed within a minute.

Someone did a whole video about this, I think, and I'm just too arsed to find it. From what I remember, they point out the lack of fins and finger pads in the cinematic while the figure is still in shadow.. which, to me, is deliberate trolling. Anyone watching the thing for the first time - including me - would've mistaken it for Mewtwo, and a lot of people did. In hindsight it's easy to say 'It was clearly not Greninja', but the evidence is there that he was clearly trolling.. that, or someone got REAL lazy during production.

This Ridley "tease" has been going on for months now starting with the Pyrosphere comment. To be fair, I do think Sakurai is teasing in a sense. I believe that he really believe that fans are looking forward to seeing Ridley make his appearance as the stage hazard/boss and that by only showing a little bit of him, they'll get more excited for the whole thing.

I jokingly said that Sakurai wasn't revealing Ridley as a stage hazard/boss yet 'cause he was trying to prepare his home for the inevitable riot. I'm not that worried if he's playable or not, but where there's smoke, there's fire, y'know? Why not just deconfirm Ridley directly, why tease about it? It's not like he doesn't know there's a demand for space dragons.

The whole "Sakurai is a big troll" thing started out as a simple joke which became a meme to the point where people started to truly believe it. Now they interpret his every single action as some sort of trolling scheme. It's really just in your heads.

He did it back during Brawl's development. He does it all the time now, and it's clearly not a meme. It's not in our heads if the evidence is all there the guy's toying with us.

 

[Yoshi-Thomas]

Why wouldn`t he just deconfirm him like other characters (Skull Kid, Dark Samus, Dillon, etc)? That is the main reason why it is so suspicious.

That's what I was thinking too. But what if the difference lies exactly in the fact he is a boss character ? The same way the Yellow D was introduced, we didn't exactly know what his job would be ; now we know he was the guy meant to introduce boss characters in Smash 4, thus including a new mechanic different from normal stage hazards. Ridley, being a boss, is a part of this new mechanic, more important than an Assist Trophy or a Pokeball, leading Sakurai to hide as many details as possible.

I really hope I'm wrong, though. Ridley being playable would be nice. But I still think Sakurai didn't mean to make a big deal over a shadow shown in the middle of the direct... Well the trophy quizz is maybe another clue concerning new characters (Zelda char', Chrom, Palutena and Ridley).

 

[Dark Phazon]

Just take out all the Salt from it for a second and just look at it for what it is going by the most obvious outcome.

He
is
hyping
a
stage
hazard


Do you know how ******** this is? Seriously....

Like many have Said there is no way in Hell he added mac without knowing abput Ridley's demand and me personally so far i think he is catering MORE to the west than the East.

64: Background character
Melee: Trophy & in intro
Brawl: Boss twice!!

Now he is gonna be a crumy Stage hazard that he hyped? Lmao its possible but the hope i have left lies in Sakura's fricking mind to realise how stupid this would be for soo many reasons.

Hate Other M all you like but it greatly expanded Ridleys character in general and raised his recognition of how prominent he is to the series.

And now hes gonna get downgraded to a stage hazard & yes imo it is a downgrade!!!!

How did Ridley get two boss fights and pokemon only had RayQ & Mario only had Petey?

Oww my............i need a break....gonna go off on one again..........serious.....

Its too obvious who Rock Monster/Yellow Devil/Big D/That fella`/that big and mean yellow guy was since he can be either a boss or an AT, he wasn`t requested even once and is just not someone who can be a playable character in such game. Bosses in SSB is more like punching bags that respond few times before going down in explosions. It doesn`t matters what it can do unless its something like increasing gravity to hellish levels, so, all news about them other than who exactly is used as a boss can be just ignored and being noticed only when you need to dodge attack that was mentioned. Bosses is SSB isn`t exciting since they are big, have no weak sports other than their ENTIRE BODY and just attack. Nothing special while AT and pokemons have a lot more to do than THAT. IMO Master (and maybe Crazy) Hand is enough for bosses since all of them are just variations of this (2) guy(s). I think only about getting boss` trophy and beating him without loosing too many lives when fighting a boss in SSB, not about something else. Yeah, getting temporary invincibility while moving to the other side of the stage is something that makes me instantly want a boss. Or having Ridley moving like if he is on drugs, having size close to one of the playable character`s and nearly no actions in 9 seconds while not standing in one place (which is unnatural for Ridley and just bosses of SSB) as a BOSS is even better than having him as a playable character.

To be honest whats gonna hurt RealBad is how if Ridley aint playable we know Dark Samus wont be already....and in no way she would have been a clone

Yeah, DS is like a Orochi/Evil Ryu version of Samus...but 100x more awesome. It had a lot of potential as a playable character and i kinda failed to see it while making it for MUGEN and messed things up, which makes me want to remake it...Anyway, i saw its boss battle and it was awesome, especially part with Dark Echoes and plasma beam being used...well...mostly former one...anyway, it had a lot of potential, but got confirmed as an AT, so, right now we have only 2 good characters to represent this franchise and we already have one of them - Samus. We either get Ridley too or will be doomed with having only Samus representing Metroid franchise.
It looks like you can generate some pretty good ideas or at least know more about DS...could you help me with something once i will finish my Ridley?

A few pages late, but nonetheless...

See, people really try and interpret things Sakurai does as teasing when in all likelyhood, they probably aren't. They're either simple fun on his part or just things that fans wildly misinterpret.

Did anyone think Little Mac's chances were dulled by the boxing ring stage? His chances were never called into question; just whether or not the stage belonged to him.

I'm not too sure what the Phosphora trophy stunt was. All I know is that her trophy was in a pic of the day.

The Pseudo-Palutena trophy...Christ. That was another case of one second of fooling us. Not to mention, I very much doubt Sakurai even had Palutena's playability status in mind with that. It seemed like just a simple gag playing on the similar appearances of the characters.

As for Greninja, this is very debatable. It's pretty obvious within the first few seconds that Mewtwo doesn't hang upside down (as far as I know) and that what it was forming was clearly a water shuriken. Even if it was his intention, the truth was still revealed within a minute.

This Ridley "tease" has been going on for months now starting with the Pyrosphere comment. To be fair, I do think Sakurai is teasing in a sense. I believe that he really believe that fans are looking forward to seeing Ridley make his appearance as the stage hazard/boss and that by only showing a little bit of him, they'll get more excited for the whole thing.

The whole "Sakurai is a big troll" thing started out as a simple joke which became a meme to the point where people started to truly believe it. Now they interpret his every single action as some sort of trolling scheme. It's really just in your heads.

Yh you are right he is in no way teasing us thats absurd he wouldnt do that its so out of character for him and unprofessional even though he done it a couple of times during the direct and some PotD im sure it wasent in his attention to tease.

Im sure it was just his cat doing all of this that evil cat! Im sure it was just his cat that posted this on FB Hours after the direct not tease just to pass time.

Edit:OWWW MAN im so PumpEd! For that Stage Hazard reveal Sakurai is gonna blow the roof of E3! Oww !!!!! I expect the hype to be similar to twilight princess's reveal at E3 oww man im soo gonna buy another WiiU and 2 Smash4 copies gonna be GoodyGooDy hype hype!

Yeah! That evil, but cute cat...very cute...very very cu- yes, i like cats AND Ridley, there is nothing wrong with that...i guess...
Pf. I will personaly buy Sakurai`s shirt for confirming my most favourite character as a boss because boss is 100% more awesome than a simple playable character that you can play as and not have fun while you can fight with absolutely not boring boss not just hitting him while he isn`t moving and not running when he is going to attack with something serious. My mind will be blown by this announcement - THIS IS THE BEST WAY RIDLEY CAN BE IN SSB! Being a playable character? F**K THAT, boss is a lot better than that.

Eh...I was bored, so I decided to think...what if Shokio and Ridley swapped places? ...It'd probably look something like this:

That hat had to be specially made, y'know.

It would be better if Shokio was a Metroid character while Ridley would be his detractor. Yeah, a friggin` space dragon that thinks that a human is too big and will look stupid if resized and makes videos about that. I would do everything to meet him and talk to him personally. And just touch him.

Wow. That is a surprisingly accurate depiction to life.

I wouldn't mind Ridley as a boss so much if he were more like Giga Bowser or Giant DK in terms of gameplay instead of Master Hand and Dyna Blade.
