Most of us tend to be elitist, hasty generalization fallacy incoming; typically, Smashboards members are more intelligent and competent in regards to speculation (or at least we like to believe that we are). Therefore we have discriminated interpretations of other communities as well (the communities that rely on colloquialisms predominately, such as Miiverse or GameFAQs). Honestly, it is probably just an in-group versus out-group type of scenario.
Just proved the C thing wrong too. Working on the color one now
Thank you. NeoGAF vs. Smashboards vs. GameFAQS is a stupid topic to discuss since every forums always have their rotten apples and good apples.
Wouldn't this leak qualify as pertaining to Ridley, as if it was real it proves Ridley is playable?
Totally. And we know its regular Pyrosphere.
Doesn't a similar effect happen when you select a character on the roster screen in Brawl?
You can say that with just about any newcomer. "What could Little Mac possibly do? punch people lol" or "why would you want Mega Man all he does is shoot people LMAO"
If they can make a moveset for Wii fit trainer. THEY CAN make a moveset for ridley.
Yeah I don't see why people so desperately not want Ridley playable.
That's where the controversy is. They never actually outright say he was a boss, they say he was a 'boss character'
If it was, this thread probably wouldn't exist anymore.
The key difference with them and Ridley is that, at the very least, the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Little Mac or Mega Man is that he punches and that he shoots, respectively.
He did it in Metroid Prime, after being forced to land on the ground.
In short, Sakurai used Sand Attack and lowered our accuracy to tell if Ridley is playable or not.
But he still has his freaking Kinetic Laser thingy, which certainly stands out more than mundane scratch attacks.
I guess I see what you mean, Sakurai does try to be unpredictable.
Are you new here or what?
100/10 if this was the case, he would have shown Ridley already, besides, there isn't something like that, the 3DS can handle him just fine
Ridley/10
The Dynablade rip-off from Brawl don't use a single fireball (Meta Ridley does tough for some reasons) and it seems to me that a lot of people who say that Ridley would be a clone and don't have moveset potential have only ever fought Ridley in this game =/
And that's why it's a bad idea to argue against a character's inclusion without any knowledge of the character itself.
Certainly. But people seem to be discussing the leak itself rather than the implications of Ridley being on it.
Name a single other Metroid character that has a name that needs in Y and is just long enough to not take up the entire box.
So thats why the metroid was teased, THE BABY CONFIRMED
1. the guy who posted the "y leak" is not the same guy who posted the original 2 pictures
Hey, don't diss Joey!
Who said I was dissing him? I'm just making a joke that "Joey" is short enough to not cover the space and ends with "Y".
He meant other than Anthony, since he was already talking about him. With context that "Anthony" would take up the whole rectangle, and thus it couldn't have been him in that image."Remember me ? " And at least still alive.
Don't kill me.
The possibility exists that it's not a Metroid character at all. But I digress, that would be continuing non-Ridley leak discussion.
Has to be a Metroid character, you can see the Player two cursor over it, and in the bottom left you can see that said selected character has the Metroid symbol.
Given how the image suggest the second (blue) player selected that slot, and the respective player box shows a blue Metroid symbol, it's clear it has to be a Metroid character.
