Well I have weightlifting, tennis, a few unfinished 3DS games, dogsitting, SSBB data collection, and Ridley moveset tweaking to do so I guess my weekend won't be incredibly boring.
Ah, I have literally nothing (except for stalking the Ridley thread) to pass my time. Maybe I should get into lifting, tennis, dogsitting, SSBB data collection, and Ridley move-set tweaking to pass the time... but then I would not have time to stalk the Ridley thread.

Well, the Ridley thread passes a lot of time.

I have no idea what I'll do. Probably random games through the weekend now that my writing quota is finished up. :\

I guess this battle is over... for now. I'll go back to play Mario Kart 8.

ergh. I hate thinking of it as a battle. maybe I was too overzealous.

My beef with the guy wasn't about Ridley.

I just get angry when people come here, talk down to the thread, get hand waved, and then accuse us of hand waving because they didn't think ridley was in the game. it's deceitful, low, and I probably got too worked up

Obligatory "Ridley is too big" post.

Just try and refute my argument, but you cannot as it is impossible! Not only would it attenuate his character, but it would just be arbitrarily stupid. I do not like that, so it should not happen. Ridley is always big as ****. Do not even bring up the Olimar argument, he is humanoid. Bowser does not count because he, unlike Ridley, is actually a prominent character in his series. Ridley is a boss character just as Sakurai asserted. It was not ambigious, you just lack the cognitive function to comprehend the words you are reading! ROFL, you guys are just repugnant speculators. GOML.

Oh, I love debating and I often compare it to a battle just for fun. It has nothing to do with your beef with that guy.

Might as well.

Rids is too fuggin huge! Don't talk about Olimar or Kirby, they're scaled proportionately to their respective series! Kirby is proportionately the same size as Dedede, so size is important!

So, we can resize everyone, but Ridley, right? then just upscale everyone and everything, but Ridley and the problem is solved. :troll:

Are "too big" posts obligatory now?

If you want to make a more accurate representation of a typical Ridley detractor, I believe the more common argument used for Bowser is that his size is inconsistent in the Mario series, or that he's always been the same size as he is in Smash. I think only the most ignorant of detractors actually argue against Ridley's importance. Unless, of course, that kind of detractor is what you're simulating here, in which case you're spot on.

I was indeed emulating a less intelligent detractor. I do not mind those that detract Ridley with objective fact, there are not many of them though.

Ridley's size is always 100% consistently gigantic if you ignore all of the times it isn't, ESPECIALLY the times where it's not even consistent through a single game.

Oh, that's right, how silly of me. He was especially large in Metroid Prime 2, wasn't he?

You call yourself a Ridley fan? He was not even in Metroid Prime 2. See, Ridley supporters are just supporting him because he is purple and Waluigi was deconfirmed because he was purple. Why do you contradict yourself? Quit being delusional, I am a Ridley expert. But do not get me wrong, I want him in the game, but I am not blind.

It's almost E3,... the date that's probably all the truth about Pyrosphere will be revealed (and the moment that will decide the destiny of many characters supported here on Smashboards)... and I couldn't approach in a good way in this thread... But well, I tried (nobody can say I not tried XD).. I'll, at least, say good lucky for everybody. and honestly hope that, whatever happens, you guys don't lose your sporting spirit.. Smash4 is already looking great, and nobody can deny this... with or without Ridley is already a game worth to spend hours playing, and will be always next game..

Ridley fanbase already proved to be as big as him (lol, sorry for that), if the noise made for his campaign for Smash4 was not enough to have him in the roster, will be bigger next time... until being impossible to ignore, I hope. =)

What a sad and pathetic world we live in. Roy with a mustache is more impressive than "like a sir" Ridley.

What do you mean, are you not a Ridley brother? This day (Tuesday) is our day! We are one, together Ridley is ours.

I'm, of course! ^^ I just couldn't find a good way to enter the thread... every time I got a bit intimidated by the subject.. I guess. I'm just trying to prepare myself for any situation.. for any character I support.. being a likely newcomer or not. But I think that wishing some good luck is never a bad thing... But I hope for the best! =)

Ridley's too scary and powerful, guys! You're better off playing Super Smash Bros Crusade where they made him weak and nonthreatening! He's about as likely as Goku.

...HEY!!! Why are you ignoring me!? This is just as valid as your arguments!!11:mad::mad::mad:

/sarcasm

(sad thing is, this was actually based on a detractor's "argument" from this site many months ago)

So how much of the thread have you seen? Need any catch-up on the case of Playabley or anything?

I should probably put together @Smashoperatingbuddy123 's shadow post and my tail analysis post into one super-post for those curious on why Ridley's chances are pretty solid...

What was his argument? That Ridley was too scary and powerful to be a playable characters? That seems like one of the predominant reasons that he has support.

You really think we're THAT big? Dang. We'd have to take up 3 roster spots just to fit!

I actually prefer going by the "Ridley Supporting Outer Space Crime Fighters" BUT Samusrules doesn't enjoy our little alliance

Basically, yeah. He was also flabbergasted to find out just how popular Ridley is as a character, when he pretty much assumed everyone liked him as a boss.

My memories on the guy are a bit vague, but I definitely remember him getting pissed when he thought his "arguments" were getting thrown out the window.

Although, that actually does remind me. Ridley would be true to his character if he was a boss character, so at least the detractors have that one correct!

Ooh don't worry XD.. I've been around even before the Ridley X Rosalina drawings =P.. and of course, before the Smash Direct... following all the drama, always I could. Of course I'm more active in the Pac-Man's thread, but I see the thread even disconnected of my account too. XP

Yes I agree too powerful!!! But Palutena is a shoe-in. I mean clearly GODS aren't as powerful as space alien dragons.

Next step is be in Smash....

God for Smash 4 confirmed?
No way. He's only a mere Goomba compared to the Cunning God of Death.

Changing the subject, I want to know something about the upcoming E3. I didn't watch the presentation for Smash 4 last year, so when exactly did they show off the game, its features, and the newcomers?

I believe it was the trailer in addition to some game-play with an awkward announcer.
