Well they both have beaten Samus at some point of this game but yeah, dinosaur MB would kick Ridley's butt with her laser.
I believe Ridley would have stabbed her in the face/eye before she even thought of charging that very slow laser.
It's not a gorilla, actually, it's based on a Daruma doll. As for Slaking...damnit, I guess he's a gorilla. A gorilla with a horrible ability, but a gorilla.Ahem.
We're all just dragon this out, or winging it, if you will. We need to get Ridley of all of these fast and high-tail it out of here before he gets angry.
Actually, funny thing about Slaking? He outspeeds a LOT of Pokemon. Just a lot of his downside comes from his ability.
Has it ever been not flowing in the normal version?
Are we Ridley gonna make this a thing now?
I dunno, if MB no-sold Samus' Power Bombs and Super Missiles, I don't think her no.2 would be able to even make her flinch, and Ridley doesn't have The Baby to bail him out.
*sigh*
Well, I dunno. Has it? :V (Like seriously, I don't know.)
I like to think of it this way too. In Dark Samus's case he could've just joined her willingly even with how much he and the pirates benefited from her providing them with Phazon. Same with Mother Brain because of the knowledge and resources she provided on Zebes perhaps.
I would actually like to see this assassin take on Ridley in a future game, where he's not necessarily affiliated with the pirates but acting out only on his own interests. It would show he can work well as both a team leader and an individual mercenary for hire.
We have like 50+ pictures of normal pyrosphere, plus video footage of it, and all of it has the lava in the background, the one picture of FD pyrosphere does not have it in the background. I mean, there's reaching, and then there's this.
It was less reaching and more me not knowing that the lava was always there. :| Why would I reach to further deconfirm the character I want above all else and who wholly decides whether or not I buy the game?
Well i am srry I did not realize you did not know the stage well, just thought I would make a point.
I understand preferences but I've always thought basing a $60 decision on one single component of a massive game was a bit extreme. That's like me finding out there's a new Pokemon generation, but Mienshao, my favorite pokemon, is unavailable in it by normal means, so I refuse to get the game.
Do what? Ridley hits no harder than a Super Missile, and MB's tank took several smacks from those. Nevermind he's a heartbeat key into Tourian in both games. If Ridley decided to try and stage a coup, he had his chance in M1 if he was going to backstab MB. Now, not only would MB know of his treachery(when her doors opened and he was still alive), but one good rainbow laser and Ridley'll be kneeling the same as Samus did.
The idea of Sakurai giving us stuff is very weird too. He doesn't give us anything, he is SELLING a product. He puts certain characters in the game because people will buy the game for said characters, not because he is a good guy. If Ridley isn't in, it is because from a business perspective, it wasn't worth putting him in the game.
And what better way to sell a product then by answering gamers' requests, which UltimateWario is implying he doesn't do. He doesn't have to be a good guy, but he's definitely not an asshole who ignores everyone and does what he wants without considering what's best for his series. He delivers when he can. And of course he has a staff, but Sakurai is Smash's representative and director and so its easiest to make reference to him when it comes to major parts of the game, instead of employee #482 whose name I don't know who happens to play a bigger role in that particular decision. Common sense.Lol, some people give Sakurai too much praise. It is almost like he does everything in Smash by himself. He should just fire all the employees in Sora Ltd.
By the way, I don't know why some are so bothered by the idea of others not wanting to buy Smash 4 if Ridley (or any other character) isn't playable. It is entirely reasonable to not spend $40 or $60 (don't forget there will be an amazing 3DS version which will cost $20 less) if a character/feature/whatever you REALLY want isn't in the game.
I give Sakurai a lot of praise. He really puts in the extra mile on these games. He goes above and beyond the average lead developer. On top of having wrist injuries from testing the game and working so much in general, that he underplays to get people to stop worrying about him, he goes to work earlier than he needs to, and updates a website with daily pictures and quotes with extra information about the game. He does all the balancing himself, (or at least has until this game), and makes most of the key decisions about the game.Lol, some people give Sakurai too much praise. It is almost like he does everything in Smash by himself. He should just fire all the employees in Sora Ltd.

In Super Metroid Ridley's tail could flick away a normal or super missile, not to mention break through the otherwise invincible Screw Attack. At any rate, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here or what you're trying to argue with all this. A villain's power level doesn't have any bearing on how good they are as a character. The best villains and most powerful/deadly villains aren't necessarily the same. The only thing Mother Brain's really done in antagonizing Samus for the most part is killing the baby. Ridley's done much more in hurting her and earning the status of Samus's arch-nemesis and most longstanding one, regardless of who leads the space pirates the most.
I imagine that the game as a whole would drain an ordinary man, so it would make sense that Sakurai gets whatever jollies he can by screwing with the fanbase; that's probably his only source of joy.
Chronologically, based on the best ones in the series to play?
Super Metroid, Metroid Prime 1 and 2, Fusion, and then Other M if you care about the (badly written) backstory for Fusion. It was how they did her and that the cutscenes weren't skipable like, say, Twilight Princess. She spoke monotone even though the voice actress for Samus wanted to do her justice. The plot was convoluted and poorly executed, and Samus chooses to serve under her former CO out of respect for him as a father figure without any questions asked, which includes not being able to use some of her (very much vital) power-ups until he says so. I could go on but I don't want to pollute your mind with it. If you wanna give Other M a shot, I can't stop you, but I am one of its largest critics. I was excited for it when it was revealed at E3, and it was a huge letdown for me. Just my 2 cents as a big Metroid fan, I've beaten every game in the series, 100% in all applicable games. With Prime and Super, you can't go wrong though. They're excellent games.
I recommend Fusion as a starter game.
I'm not a "hardcore" Metroid fan, but what seems integral to the mindset of a fan is speedrunning and exploiting shortcuts to complete the game faster. Fusion has no such shortcuts, except for one hard-to-pull-off sequence break that accomplishes nothing.
Yeah, Metroid music does a REALLY good job of immersing you in the game. It's one of the things that Metroid games, for the most part, universally do.
I've only played two Metroid games, but but based on that experience, I can just say that I'm very glad that I played Super Metroid before Metroid: Zero Mission.
Due to how Fusion was my first game, Zero Mission is my favorite 2D Metroid game. It combines Fusion's streamlined controller setup and physics with Super Metroid's exploration aspect.
