You know, I just came to a rather obvious realization.
People are arguing that Ridley should be a boss because they couldn't have him look big when small when he's so lanky. That's a matter of opinion, but it would be a valid point... If the argument wasn't shot down by one bullet.
The shadow. Again, it's about the size of Bowser's, maybe a little SMALLER.
Thus defeating almost any purpose he had for being a boss!

In Brawl, Ridley took up a fourth of his stage which was about the size of Pyrosphere if not a little smaller. This makes sense for a boss.

Pyrosphere may be slightly larger, and Ridley is Bowser-sized. If he's a boss, this is an *AWFUL* idea for a boss fight. Like wow, look at that baby Ridley platform around his own stage. :p

Well, to be fair, his wings are rather large.

The actual body seems fairly small for a boss, though.

His wings are large in use. But really, if he's on the ground or idle he doesn't need to be using his wings. And even then, being close to Bowser's size and only being larger because you have wings isn't exactly an impossibly huge size either. :p

I honestly do not hope pac man or miis get confirmed. Pac man is gross. And mii's are gross as well. It's smash bros. Let the mii be your profile picture or something not a fighter.

I also dont even know who shulk is. Didnt even know who geno was untill a couple of days ago. People need to stop asking for characters from unknown games/games with a small fanbase lol.

Anyways when will the presentation for smash start? I hope they start with a character confirm hehe..

Wouldn't his wings be in the foreground and background in most cases? It doesn't seem like they'd affect his size that much.

My time, E3 as it's relevant to this thread will be starting on Tuesday the 10th at 11am. It's 9am Pacific Time, so.

If I had to guess, Ridley's confirmation would come before the Demo is open on the 11th.

I took a little vacation from this thread and it's still going on about the shadow. Just wanted to drop in and say I hope we get to see one of the most iconic and requested Nintendo characters at E3. :bubblebobble:

Hey, if you get us footage of Ridley actually doing things in SSB4 before E3 I can guarantee we'll talk about that and never bring up the shadow again. :p

...Could you post this on the Roy thread?
...I mean, I'm fine with you being nostalgic, but don't post it here. A lot of Fire Emblem fans HATE Roy.
I know....If you watch the video, you will get that the video is actually MOCKING Roy (look at 0:55-1:14)

So people need to stop requesting characters with perceived inherent problems? I mean, this is the Ridley thread. It is what we do. Rags to riches!

Yeah, you got the first and last letters right but you mixed up what belongs in the middle. :B

But yeh. We've got what. 5-6 more days or something? It's a long wait for E3. :p

I'm not sure at this point if Ridley's confirmation as a playable character will ellict a generally positive or negative reaction from SmashBoards.

I know how GameFAQs will react, but this board...

Not to mention it has nothing to do with Ridley...
Is that something that we are not used to?

I suppose there will be a mixed reaction, one that is mostly positive. Most truly believe that Ridley is not possible, so they labor a disdain for his character. Once it is demonstrated that he is in his PRIME, they will most likely be excited. There are many that do not think he is likely, yet they would love him to be playable. But of course, haters gonna hate. So a mixed reaction; mostly positive.

I actually realized you can tag people on Gamefaqs, so I'm going around and tagging everyone I see saying things like "Ridley was already confirmed to be a boss".

Which, to make myself totally clear, regardless of what you think is more likely, is a pretty stupid thing to say.

If Ridley gets confirmed, I'm going to post some hardcore Ridley porn or something over on GameFAQs.

Should be fun if he's in.

Behind your eyes.
If Ridley's confirmed, I will become a Ridley in turn.

Shedding this sac of flesh and blood and emerging as my true self.

My ascension is in your hands, Sakurai.

Laugh... and laugh... laugh some more. After that, I would commit suicide.

Watching the reactions is going to be an event for sure. Personally, I'm gonna make popcorn.
The reactions are not as fun for me as I already know what they are going to be. :c

If Ridley is deconfirmed I'll be extremely disappointed in the fact that not only do we not get playable Ridley but this most likely means we'll have very disappointing bossley instead.

But I'll probably still get the game.

I don't even care. The only thing I know is that I will do my best to annoy the **** out of some of Ridley's declared haters.

If Ridley is a character I propose his sub-forum have a "Neener-neener" Thread where we post all the arguments againt Ridley over the years and laugh at them. Laugh long and hard.

Ridley as a boss character is better than nothing I suppose. I will not be too disappointed; but then again, I assert this knowing that it will not happen.

I'm secretly hoping Ridley is completely ignored at E3

no announcement, no pyrosphere, nothing

I would laugh for days


And if Ridley is revealed at E3, there's only one way they can do it.

Introduce him as a boss, make everyone cry, go into a detailed explanation of how he works as a boss, but then nope, just kidding, he's actually playable.

And then it'll get locked because it's as childish if not more so than the way Ridley haters act towards you guys.
I know you all really want him in and you'll be ecstatic if he does, but him getting in doesn't mean you can act like *****.
