Personally, I'd bet money against Ridley.
Yep. That was actually what I said a couple of posts up.
Well, then there you goYep. That was actually what I said a couple of posts up.
I'll drink to that!Hell even I predicted Phantom being a move. At the time there was a definite pattern implying it would be a move and not an assist trophy, but noooo. I was craaaazy, it was so obviously an assist trophy. Until of course it wasn't an assist trophy. Then it was sooooo obviously a move and was never an assist trophy.
I agree 100%. Ridley is among my most wanted but I have no hope for him at all at this point. I'm prepared to make full apologies in this thread if I turn out to be wrong.
Unless you said at some point before last E3 that Wii Fit Trainer was an unlikely prediction of yours, then you can't possibly be a credible source.
If Wii Fit wasn't a pretty successful game franchise, I'd give that tons of brownie points. But as it sits right now, it's the 5th most profitable franchise that has gotten a playable character in Smash Bros.
And that's the bridge of his mothership.Take a look at these images from Zero Mission
Don't these make Ridley look like some evil mastermind plotting it's next move? One doesn't need to talk for people to understand what their personality is, often gestures are all you need.
I agree Sakurai didn't do an amazing job trying to mislead us with the Boxing Ring/Little Mac.I dunno, as far as I know it was mostly just Gamefaqs that thought it definitely wasn't a punch-out stage that looked just like a punch-out stage coincidentally. Though tons of people are jumping ship on Ridley once actual tangible hints are coming up and not faces in the clouds.
Ridley is so big, his support thread is basically a social thread.
It's actually about the same.

It was stated long ago that there won't be version exclusive characters in the roster.
I certainly didn't help either.
-u- Oh, no worries, write it when you have the time and the inspiration!I certainly didn't help either.
By the way that story I hinted probably won't appear for a while. My graduation is a week from tomorrow so I'm not sure if I'll have time to write it during the next several days.
But more than a few people saw it, took it at 100% face value, and took it to mean it was a generic Smash Bros. stage because of the logos. Which is the thing. People actually analyzed the pictures, and came to see it was definitely a stage near identical to a punch-out ring, but it instead had Smash Bros. logos.
A lot of people were sure; but what made it not objectively a Punch Out stage? The GIANT Smash logo in the center. This hind-sight stuff really bothers me.
Oh I knew it too but alot of people were saying otherwise from what I remember.
I know, right?
So far, I have been on the "be an ass to everyone who was wrong" side. I actually haven't speculated a lot incorrectly as of current. I plan to keep it that way with Ridley. The only thing I didn't see coming was Greninja.
Ah, such is the sad truth of bandwagoning.
Which is exactly why Sakurai is trying even harder to convince the masses that Ridley isn't anything more then a hazard, and judging by how many believe his trickery, I'd say it's working. For all of them anyway; we're too meticulous to simply accept an ambiguous shadow as a 100% answer.
I don't think anyone expected Greninja. Like anyone.
Before Little Mac reveal:
All of Japan raises their hands.
