Smash Ace
I only have models of the Ridleys (Ridlies?) from Brawl and Other M, so it'd have to use official art or something. Oasis is the one with all the heights, anyway.Would you be interested in this?

You mean be honest?So Nintendo put out this survey about the Invitational:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HPMRWQ9
The last question is "Who is your favorite Super Smash Bros. character?"
Let's all be "that guy" and answer with "Ridley."
It looks more like the Super Metroid grab with the feet.Anyhow, that was a fun activity.
Now back to these shadow pics.

So...normal grab, or special grab?
Methinks its a special grab like these. Perhaps Ridley is inheriting Bowser's Koopa Klaw.
Yes the problem is we don't see Pikachu's shadow during what we think is the grab but we believe we see it after.So, is it wrong that I don't see Ridley picking up Pikachu at all?
I've played Ridley in Crusade, and I have to admit that I don't really like how they did him. He's just missing a certain.. je ne sais quoi that I can't really put my finger on. His specials are kinda confusing, especially his recovery; the rapid-fireballs are useful, but the charge fireball seems pretty useless both in damage/knockback and the weird-as-hell angle that it takes when you fire it. He's got good combo potential, but that's to be expected from something with big hitboxes. Your margin for error is low both in taking damage, and dealing it, so I feel like the character balances out in the end. Definitely could've been done way better, and I feel like Sakurai would probably have/will done/do better than what we've got there.Has anyone played Ridley in Crusade? If so, did you like the way he handles? Would you like a similar moveset in official Smash?
Yes and no.So, is it wrong that I don't see Ridley picking up Pikachu at all?

Wouldn't shock me cause Sakurai said he gave Mega Man mostly moves from Mega Man 2 cause it was the most popular.
Mr. Peepers is just a rumor. DHD in my opinion is the best addition to Crusade, and Mach was added in Demo 1. They have a rule, no finished characters get cut. Thee next demo looks great, and Ridley is even getting recolored to be his classic purple self. Resprites or crappy ones like Goku and Ryu are done, and Pac-Man, Little Mac, Klonoa, Tingle, Crash Bandicoot, Bowser, and others are all getting added nextI've played Ridley in Crusade, and I have to admit that I don't really like how they did him.

Having said that, a lot of the newcomers in Crusade are satisfying and fun to play in comparison. Mega Man, Geno, Porky and Petey all struck me as fun characters, but the rest of them felt kinda shoehorned in for the sake of having them. Mach Rider? Snivy? Duck Hunt Duck? His name is Mr. Peepers, by the way, so genuine failure there. DHD just seems so sloppy. I mean, they have a lot of work to do, and it shows.
With a little tweaking, yes...In fact, I have a potential Special MovesetAll right, all right, I get it, @ IsmaR - but it still wasn't trolling, I was just trying to lighten the mood a bit.

You know, I wanted to prove you wrong about the Mr. Peepers thing, but for the life of me I cannot find anything regarding that information anywhere after something like twenty minutes of searching. What's worse is that everyone's citing the name as Mr. Peepers, but no-one has any links to proof, 'cept to a Metroid fansite interview translation that only passingly mentions Duck Hunt, but nothing about the dog or the name. That's just annoying, blah.Mr. Peepers is just a rumor. DHD in my opinion is the best addition to Crusade, and Mach was added in Demo 1. They have a rule, no finished characters get cut.

I'm gonna be honest, I'm a little disappointed by the lack of tail attacks. Him jackhammering the ground is one of his signature moves.With a little tweaking, yes...In fact, I have a potential Special Moveset
Most of Ridley's attacks are from this video:
Standard SpecialNapalm Breath (look at the video 1:15-1:18):Ridley takes a deep breath, charging his fire ball breath attack.
Hold Special to release a continuous fire stream (like Charizard)
When the fireball is released on the ground, the fireball flies horizontally; while at air, the fireball flies downwards at an small angle (25 degrees falling); Good at recovery prevention.
At full power, the fireball EXPLODES UPON CONTACT with either enemy or ground.
Up SpecialDragon Flight:On the ground, Ridley leaps upwards, damaging anyone under him.
On the air, Ridley makes a somersault mid-air and enters flight mode. Ridley's flight direction is based on where you point Ridley's head.
Duration can last up to 5 seconds. ...Yes, Ridley would have the longest Recovery in the game.
Side SpecialHunter Grab (Video @ 1:35 & 2:53):On the Ground, Ridley lunges towards an enemy to grab them.
While Midair, Ridley can lunge towards an enemy and grab them mid-air....While grabbing an enemy, Ridley's elevation from the ground is FIXED and may hover indefinitely until enemy is thrown or breaks free.
Ridley can carry the enemy while in-flight and either pummel them or throw them away AT ANY DIRECTION
This is also a good horizontal recovery move.
When coupled with Dragon Flight, Hunter Grab can allow Ridley to lunge at and grab enemies from ANY DIRECTION.
.....Doesn't this remind you of the Ridley shadow Direct. http://gfycat.com/SentimentalBronzeIndianrhinoceros#
Down SpecialAura Surge (Video @ 0:32): Ridley focuses to generate a dark aura. Similar to Wii Fit Trainer's Deep Breathing, Ridley charges up a "powerful aura". Hold B to charge up the aura until you see Ridley's body blinking.
The aura's duration depends on how long you charged; at full charge the aura lasts 10 seconds.
While the aura is in-effect, the following changes will happen:
1. All Ridley's attacks are stronger and faster.
2. Ridley's Napalm Breath charges faster.
3. Projectile Attacks are reflected from Ridley
As you can see, the Space Dragon has a LOT of potential as a Smash newcomer
Also, for Ridley model, I want the CONCEPT ART from Metroid: Other M
What do you think of this Special moveset? Let me know.
To be honest, I'm most hyped about having the ultimate battle of the companies; Mario vs. Sonic vs. MM vs. Pac-ManYou know, I wanted to prove you wrong about the Mr. Peepers thing, but for the life of me I cannot find anything regarding that information anywhere after something like twenty minutes of searching. That's just annoying, blah. Even so, it still stands: DHD just seems lazy to me. I don't want to pick the character that sounds like an illegal psychoactive drug. Even if it's not true, calling him Mr. Peepers would've been the better alternative all around.
As for the new characters, that's neat. I'd be down with trying Little Mac and Klonoa, at least.
I dunno, he just didn't grab me in the same way the others I listed did. I just can't for the life of me bring myself to like Ridley. I'm willing to give Mr. Peepers a chance in the near future, though.On Ridley, I actually like him, especially the rapid fireballs and the large one. Start charging, stepdodge, continue, fire in midair = powerful smash attack.
He'll still always be DHD to me, lol.I dunno, he just didn't grab me in the same way the others I listed did. I just can't for the life of me bring myself to like Ridley. I'm willing to give Mr. Peepers a chance in the near future, though.
i've always though that Ridley moveset could get some ideas from Firebrand from U Marvel vs Capcom 3. firebrand have various fly moves, and dash moves, excellent aerial game and a decent fireball plus, he have a comand grab when he comes from the air and literally surfs in the enemy while flaming it up... i can certainly see Ridley having a move like that.Besides, Brawl kinda solidified Ridley's tendency to use his arms to grab people. But maybe they are going the retro direction with the feet.
I apologize, but I still don't see what makes the shadow so obviously Pikachu. The only thing I see that would suggest that is the shadow that resembles Pikachu's distinctive tail, but that's obviously the result of the shadow being distorted by that slight elevation on the Phrosphere floor. So, I'm sorry if I'm missing something, but what about that shadow makes it so obvious it's Pikachu?Yes and no.
I was using low-quality gfycats before, so I didn't see it, but one can see the thicker tail, round body, and pointy ears here as opposed to Ridley's rope-like tail.
So, yes, because its unlikely any amount of shadow distortions can make that shape.
And no, it's not wrong, because I would expect a boss as savage and awe-inspiring as Ridley to eat Pikachu or something, not lazily idle so much that its easy to assume Pikachu's not there.
I might be wrong, but do these feet look articulate enough to grab people?

I don't know, I could just as easily imagine that it's simply a shadow of Ridley's feet and tail, distorted in such a way that it resembles Pikachu. The elevation on the floor would also explain the resemblance to Pikachu's lightning bolt tail as well as the thickness. In fact, Ridley not picking up Pikachu would explain questions like "where did Pikachu go" and "why did neither Ridley or Pikachu struggle? I honestly think it's just an illusion, and that Ridley never grabbed Pikachu to begin with.S'Alright, it took me a while to accept it too.

Plus, compare the thickness of the tails here.
Right, and we'll have time to show off our fanart.Ah, looks like we are back to some good old analyzing.
"The last detractor has been silenced, the thread is a peace."
For now at least.

there are too many pages (13!!!) ... but I can read a random one ... just to laughRead the last several pages. He was crushed, but considering tons were up against him, the odds weren't very good.
You make me aware of how rildey's case is smiler to the Paper Mario one. Good potential but overshadowed because of irrelevant arguments (thankfully, with all the controversy that ridley has, he has a lot of attention).With a little tweaking, yes...In fact, I have a potential Special Moveset

Oh, sorry, wasn't referring to you.there are too many pages (13!!!) ... but I can read a random one ... just to laugh
BTW .... I had a strange smash-related dream ...
I was watching the SSB4 E3 tournament when the "challenger approaching" came out after the last battle
It was Chrom and then there was his trailer ...
but suddently Hogwards appeared and it was after Deatly Hallows events (so the school was ... broken)
At first I thought they were going to reveal Harry Potter (and I was very disappointed) but then they showed who was "fixing" the school and ...
PROFESSOR LAYTON SOLVES THE BATTLE !!! (I was very excited because I want him)
Then Masahiro explained that he showed Hogwards and Harry Potter because they were British and Layton is British too.
.
.
.
I should stop taking drugs before sleeping ...
The tournament would be really nice, considering that Mew2King himself is a Ridley supporter.(Finishes catching up with WHAT just happened yesterday)
Err..................................................wow, just................................... NOT gonna say anything really ._.
Other than, damn..............................
ANYWAYS, which place at E3 would you guys think if Ridley will get announced? Either at the tournament, or in the direct, or even on the show floor like
when Wii fit trainer got announced at?
I think that during that Smash presentation, Direct is place for Chrom/Palutena.(Finishes catching up with WHAT just happened yesterday)

1.Agreed, Palutena and Chrom seem likely for the direct.1.I think that during that Smash presentation, Direct is place for Chrom/Palutena.
2.Btw, have they confirmed how long this Smash thing will be, wanna know if I can jump on the hype train already
What convinces me it's a grab is the gap between the ears and the titular Space Dragon. I'm not sure any distortions can make that shape.I don't know, I could just as easily imagine that it's simply a shadow of Ridley's feet and tail, distorted in such a way that it resembles Pikachu.
