Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Guybrush20X6]

It is fairly true that there's not much to indicate that she's a "bounty hunter" versus a Galactic Federation freelancer... it's not like we ever control her hunting down individuals. But what makes you think they intentionally made her dialogue flat and robot-like if the entire game is talking about her daddy issues and her maternal instincts? I'm pretty sure the voice acting just... isn't that good, not out of intent but because it simply isn't.

[/Rant]

No, the voice actress herself, said she tried to do her lines with gusto but the voice director people said they wanted it flat. I wasn't assuming. It was pretty bold to make a mostly silent character speak but they stumbled in that regard.

Still, the final fight against the Queen Metroid was awesome!

Back to reality, I think if Ridley was in Smash 4 he'd be based off his Brawl and Melee intro designs. The Bosses and Playable characters all have new models crafted from scratch so no worries about the whole model being lifted. Sakurai's Zamus was full of (for want of a better word) spunk (i.e. "Try me" "Is that all?") so we won't see that side.

On the subject of Prime, there is question on how canon those games are.
So while characterization from Other M may not match the Prime trilogy so to speak, that is something to consider.

Just six weeks left until we could very well have Ridley confirmed. So what are you guys going to do to celebrate once Ridley is confirmed?

 

[LaniusShrike]

Isn't that six weeks thing a little uncertain now? If they're not making a showing at E3 is there some other confirmation that there'll be a Nintendo Direct/other avenue of showing a trailer?

Anyway, once he's confirmed... I'll probably celebrate by being really happy. And probably not visiting this thread as often, since I'd start focusing on the other characters I want that haven't been confirmed.

 

[Deleted member]

Since Ridley is not one of my personally most wanted characters (I merely feel he deserves it and should be in), celebration isn't on my agenda.
Probably a preparation to antagonize the "too big" idiots, but that's just about it.

I would be extremely surprised if we got no Smash 4 news during the week of E3, especially considering both Sakurai and Iwata confirmed it.

The K. Rool vs. Ridley rap in the former's thread is being made by Swampasaur, Frostwraith and BKupa. That's a good way to celebrate, I suppose.

By the way, judging from your posts, why are so sure that Ridley will be revealed at E3 and not later?

I think it's due to the fact that Ridley has so much hype that his appearance will be assured. Much like Meta Knight was the first Newcomer revealed for Brawl.

Because I think Ridley is among the few possible Nintendo newcomers that would be trailer material. There is just such a strong interest for him among Western Smash Bros. fans for so long and combined with his continued prominence, that I really feel he will be among the first newcomers confirmed.

I am also hoping Mega Man gets confirmed too, but I am feeling more uncertain in regards to a possible E3 confirmation for him.

Other M completely ignores the Prime trilogy, from what I understand. But why should Prime's canonicity be in question? It was developed by an outside studio, but in tandem with Nintendo. To use Zelda again, are the Oracle games in question because they're made by Capcom?

Also, she's different in Fusion than Other M. She was specifically sent to the station by GF. That whole mission was for them, so of course she's gonna take orders. But she still argues when she thinks they're being idiots, she's still strong and independent.

I would throw in more, but... frankly, even though Hero 42 hasn't played the game, his/her response is exactly what my thoughts on it are. With the addition that, again, I freaking HATE that the primary thing they use to detail her life in the space military is the fact that there aren't any other women there. IT'S THE FUTURE. IT'S IN SPACE. They should've gone with people maybe thinking she's some weird chozo freak that was raised by aliens and nobody trusts her. Not "oh look, she's got a vagina. Why don't we fondly call her Lady as we shoot stuff and trade thumbs ups?"

Yeah, if they were going to discriminate against her, that would've been a more interesting way to do it. I guess even in the space future the patriarchy doesn't know what to do with a powerful woman. I refuse to believe that by the time we're in space, battling aliens and flying to other planets, there won't be more sex equality in all facets of society. I don't want to live in that world.

Also, I'm a guy, so you can just say he from now on. =P


In other news, I started Prime 2 today.

Ridley's reveal really depends on whether or not he is one of the first newcomers in the data.

Outside of Snake, who was deliberately last in the data due to being a guest, the four revealed for Brawl were the first four newcomers in the data. Strangely though, Wario was the first instead of the fourth.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Why did nobody to try to counter me with Ridley's popularity being mosly credited to the Melee trailer, and thus being regarded as second most likely Metroid newcomer, yet it being nothing more but a brief video explaining the story of Super Metroid?

Sure, Ridley seems like a logical choice for a Metroid newcomer. But Metroid hasn't got much to work with anyway in terms of important characters viable for Smash. Isn't Ridley's support mostly based on this? And his potential wicked aggressive moveset?

Maybe during pre-Melee you would have had a point about that. However, since then Ridley has been mentioned and established in several games already as Samus's arch-nemesis and the leader of the Space Pirates.

 

[Oasis_S]

Yeah, not seeing what you're seeing Diddy.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Ok but during pre-Brawl is was still Zero Suit Samus as the newcomer. Anyway, that's just my point I'd guess.

You guys still down for that rap battle though?

I'm working on it.

It's a lot harder to find a good beat than I thought.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Make the lyrics first. Maybe someone could slow down or fasten the beat for you when you have something on paper.

We already have the lyrics.

What Turtle wrote.

 

[Deleted member]

I can see his appearance in Melee's opening as a big reason he's popular today. Same with Samurai Goroh.
Though the two also have their roles in their games to help them acheive their popularity.
More specifically the fact that the Fire Stingray was the best machine in the original F-Zero game in Goroh's case. That probably helped him more than people realize.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

If it's a rap battle, it wouldn't be that good if we all used the same lyrics

 

[Diddy Kong]

Or we make it as big as possible by each adding our own?

Uh....

Look. If I can barely get things together for Turtle's rap, there is no way I can do it for everyone.

Besides. It's supposed to be K.Rool vs Ridley. No one else really.

 

[Diddy Kong]

No not you alone you know, we each make some stuff, and pick out the best lyrics. Or well, Turtle's rap alone would also be cool.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Don't know, but that is a good question. I believe I had a good/better idea of what I was gonna do to celebrate if he had been confirmed pre-Brawl, but now I'm not really sure, aside from what Golden said about antagonizing the too biggers.

Oh yeah, I would start by actually making a MDB account and bumping that thread I posted earlier, telling the higher ups of the forum to suck it.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Well... I would most likely do two things.

1. Antagonize "Too Biggers."
2. Watch the trailer a bazillion times.

who wouldn't do #2? still in the process of doing it for the melee and brawl trailers!

 

[Dark Phazon]

So gonna do number 2.

 

[FalKoopa]

I'm sure many would be eager to talk to Vaztor71.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Ew. Keep that to yourself dude.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

I'm sure many would be eager to talk to Vaztor71.

Who?

 

[Dark Phazon]

Going through SSE on intense...man its such a pain and a chore...my days i never realised it was soooo longggg....

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Who?

One of the stupidest and stubbornest too biggers ever.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

I gathered that much, but was he a user here, or someplace else? Because the username still doesn't ring a bell to me.

 

[Starcutter]

I'm stubborn, but I like to keep my options open. I'm stubborn about characters being left OUT, but I think anyone could get in. make sense?

EDIT: before someone gets confused, I'm NOT who they were talking about.

 

[FalKoopa]

He's well known on GameFAQs. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't dare to set up a SmashBoards account, not with Chrono and Golden around. (especially Golden as he has run into him already. )

I hope that if Ridley is confirmed at E3 that Vaztor leaves the Smash Bros. community once and for all. Honestly, I hate his guts and the way he treats others.

I knew he was stupid but was he mean?

BTW anyone have a link to his stupidity? I need a laugh.

Yes he is ugly towards other people, particularly. Back in late 2011, I remember him antagonizing Ridley supporters with lies about him and he even did the unforgivable... made a fake Twitter picture to say that Ridley was deconfirmed from Sakurai's mouth in an attempt to demoralize Ridley fans.

That's why I hope he leaves after a likely Ridley confirmation at E3 2013, because I don't want him to possibly move on to another character to antagonize and demoralize.

I must see this twitter picture.

Do you have a link?

And why hasn't this guy been banned yet?

Because lolGamefaqs.
