Ridley is 100% not going to be playable in this game. Maybe, MAYBE in some 'control the boss' format, but not as a regular fighter. I'm willing to bet my account on it.
I want him in badly, but he's not.
Because if there's anyone who needs to have some sense talked into them and to have their expectations brought down from the moon, it's the visitors of this thread.
And to those brushing me off or laughing at me... bet your account on it. Ridley is my most wanted character but I've accepted that Sakurai either doesn't know how or has some aversion to putting him in the game.
you're being foolish imo
we need sense talked into us? really? Ok Sakurai.
I'm not pretending to know if Ridley is playable or not. I, like you, really hope he is. I also have a horrible sneaking suspicion he isn't. But when you take a step back, remove yourself from the equation, and look at the facts, it really could go either way.
To have the gall to go anywhere on these boards, and say - "I'm sorry, but, there is no chance what you want to happen is going to happen" is downright douchbaggery. And sheer belief in yourself, enough to bet your account, is not an argument. And constantly crossing your own points, going from telling us you're playing the odds, that you don't really know; to get your hopes down, you guys have no idea what you're talking about.
Now, I know you have a legitimate beef to pick with some members of the thread. they hear anything anti-Ridley, and show you the door. No, if you want to debate Ridley's playability, you've come to the right place. But you over generalize. Just because some members on this thread are unreasonable doesn't mean we all are. And while ignoring anti-Ridley arguments is wrong, thats not what started this. People ignored you because you talked down to everybody here at once, with no provocation.
Want to have a real discussion about Ridley's playability? get off your high horse, and actually argue
here's my argument
Whenever somebody comes to this thread and says - "I want ridley as playable but it isn't going to happen"
I assume this. This person wants ridley playable. This person is afraid to get their hopes up and then be hurt. So this person takes the win/win route of preparing for the worst case scenario. If Ridley gets in, great! If he doesn't, told ya so.
Unfortunately, a subset of these people also feel personally threatened for some reason when they see other people's hope. They can't have real reasons for X character, that might get me to have actual hope, and open me to being hurt. Better make them see the truth, X character will NEVER be playable.
And the people in that situation are characterized by similar opinions. One of which is that Sakurai has a vendetta against Ridley/his fans. You've already made both these arguments, so in my mind, you are deep in this corner.
Here are the obnoxious claims you've made that only serve to disturb the peace, nothing more
"Ridley is 100% not going to be playable in this game. I'm willing to bet my account on it."
"Because if there's anyone who needs to have some sense talked into them and to have their expectations brought down from the moon, it's the visitors of this thread"
In your defense, here are some things you've said that I 100% agree with
"I'm not a troll. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't make them a troll."
"My reasons are just guess though, to be honest"
"Support thread? I figured this was the de facto Ridley thread. All Ridley discussion"
Here are some actual arguments you've made, that I'd be willing to argue any of the with you. I don't claim to know the answers, but I disagree on most of the points.
"Sakurai either doesn't know how or has some aversion to putting him in the game"
"Ridley is a feral dragon"
"there are some ulterior reasons at this point?"
"Sakurai should be more forthright. He treats fans very poorly"
And I'm not willing to bet my account, because no, I am not sure Ridley is playable. I just don't whine about it to the people who are hopeful.
It all makes sense now.
