Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[PlasticBag]

So if Ridley does use his other m model, what would his alt be? I imagine they would give him his meta form, but obviously tweak it so it fits the other m model. I could also see Sakurai giving him an alt based on his corrupted form, that has always been my favorite look of Ridley so I would be very happy with it.

Prob give him a jacket.

Okay, so on the one side, the detractors suggest Ridley's a boss hazard due to the 8/9 second footage of him on Pyrosphere.

On the other side, we have the missing lava, missing lava spores, different purple tubes for Pyrosphere FD, and Ridley's seemingly small shadow.

Neither are 100% confirmation for his role.

Let's say Ridley is meant to be a Boss hazard in that clip, the questions are:

• Why does the Pyrosphere FD lack the lava, spores and have different purple things if they're just aesthetic features?
• If they don't do anything, why remove/change them?

• Why does Ridley's shadow seem to make him smaller than his Brawl form?
• If he's a boss, why bother scaling him down if he's not playable?

• From what we've seen, Boss characters seem to appear on flat stages (kind of like a FD version) or stages with no floating platforms, so why is Ridley appearing on Pyrosphere when there are floating platforms?
• Do they move or are they in a fixed position?

• If he's meant to fly down from above in that Direct clip, why didn't the shadow show up from the right much sooner if he's massive?

• How can Ridley, after 8/9 months prior to the first Pyrosphere PotD, not be finished still?

I think not showing him because the model "isn't finished" is absolute baloney, especially for a team with people from Bandai Namco who have experience in creating fighting games (I'm sure a stage element would be, for them, a piece of cake to create).

• If his model wasn't yet finished, why didn't Sakurai just show the model in progress anyway?
• Yellow Devil (at E3 2013) and Dark Emperor (PotD 03 December 2013) were shown, even though they weren't finished, so why not for Ridley?

There were even place holder portrait images used for unfinished playable characters in the SSB Direct (Diddy Kong's portrait was his portrait from Brawl), Sakurai did say it's a game in development after all.

• If his model wasn't yet finished, why did Sakurai and his team work on and finish the Pyrosphere FD before the original Pyrosphere?
• Shouldn't the priority have gone to finishing the non-FD stages first?

• Why was there no sound to the clip?
• It was obviously Ridley, 100%, so is Sakurai hiding something that would give Ridley's role away?

• Why is Ridley the only "Boss character" not shown, just hinted at?
• Why is he the only boss character teased so much from this past year? (Yellow Devil's likely been shown so much because it's a third party character)

• Why has Ridley's name not been mentioned at all?

He has been hinted and referred to in a PotD as "Samus' trauma", and his shadow was shown in the Direct. Yet, not named.

• Ridley is popular in the West, I think more popular than Little Mac. Why should Little Mac (who didn't get much of a good reception from Japanese fans as it is) get in, but Ridley does not?

• All of the "de-confirmed" characters get named, shown and their roles specified. Ridley has just been teased and his role is still ambiguous, what are you trying to hide Sakurai?

• If he's a stage/boss hazard, why wait so long to reveal that and make people wait so long and then kill their hopes, at a big event (which would be insensitive to Ridley fans)?
• Why not just reveal it months back alongside the stage reveal, saving us the extra heartache?

• Sakurai - messing with Ridley and his fans, causing further conflicts between supporters and detractors, u mad bro?

I seriously hope it's good news for Ridley on the 10th, otherwise I'll be annoyed after all this time of teasing/trolling...

Great post.

Alot of people say they will be shocked if Ridley is playable but im honestly the complete opposite.

 

[AustarusIV]

Add me to the supporters list!

The glorious Space Pirate commander could always use more disposable underlings loyal, precious followers for his cause.

Our main representative, Oasis_S, isn't here at the moment, so you'll just have to like the OP.

Most of us in the Ridley support thread are the complete opposite as well. I feel as though I speak for all Ridley supporters when I say that I would be completely and utterly shocked if he was not playable.

lol @ your avatar.

Not every character has an alt, maybe Ridley will only get different colors. I want Pink Ridley.

That's not exactly the opposite of shocked I'd say.

I don't believe there will be DLC for Smash... I am not totally opposed to it, though, as long as the 3DS version gets them too.

I hope you're trolling, because if this is really how you write, then I don't think you're old enough to have your own website profile yet. Punctuation, grammar and proper spelling are all important to getting points across, because well...they help people actually take you seriously. And right now, I'm afraid I cannot do so. So please tell me you're trolling. Please. It will help me sleep tonight.

I got ketchup, mustard, ranch, BBQ, Shrimp Ridley, Metroid Honey, whatever you feel like dipping your food in.

Well you never know. the Future is mysterious (almost as mysterious as a certain Japenese man i known)

Not all of us speak English as our first languages, you need to remember this. Especially on the internet. So don't expect us to type with proper grammar all the time. Rant over

Crossing my fingers i will be here for page 777 of the ridley thread.

Lol I posted in this thread when it was active. "I will not buy the game if Ridley isn't in, does this answer your question?"

People post so much crap in Ridley threads on 4cha, but the amount of supporters Ridley have there is actually quite big and that pleases me.

And you said this on /v/?
Are you just really brave or clinically insane?

Nice idea for a move set! I really like it.. But where'd the idea for a reflector come from? I've never heard if Ridley using one before(granted, my memory from playing what few Metroid games I've played is kinda foggy)
I also kinda had an idea where Ridley is mainly seen flying, that he could hover on every jump he has. But that would probably be a little too OP wouldn't it..
Also he should be able to wall-grab and slowly slide down in reference to MP3: Corruption

Why is my CB6000 talking to me.

This is the Ridley thread. The only fire-type Pokemon we care about is Charziard... because Ridley is going to be stuck as a costume for Charizard.
