Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Reila]

It would be awesome if that turns out to be Ridley's reveal theme.

It would be awesome indeed, but I think they will use his boss theme in the reveal trailer. Or both, because why not.

 

[Xhampi]

He said that? Then he should have revealed Stage Hazardly a long time ago if he wasn't playable.

The exact quote was :

"I don't like it when a tweet or whatever leads to needless speculation getting spread around.
For example, when I tweet about playing some game, some people immediately get the idea that that character is in the new Smash Bros. Then people fan the flames on it, people start to think it's really true, people get angry about it. Nobody benefits."

thanks this is a solid evidences for my opinion on ridley later today.

Really? He said that? Do you have a source?

If that's the case, then does that hurt Shulk a bit?

 

[majora_787]

I'm going to keep hoping Fusion just stays with nothing but the ugly palette swap and maybe we get a 3DS stage from Hunters or a new Metroid game. :Y

Also I dunno. If they manage to completely avoid Ridley through E3 without indirectly confirming or deconfirming him at the demo I'd be extremely impressed.

He does have one I recall saying this but let me check I don't exactly remember where.

Why would it? Is "Shulk for Smash" supported by one of Samurai's tweets?

Oh sure, there you go :

I don't follow the speculation for characters not called Ridley, so I have no idea what you're talking about for Shulk, sorry =/

 

[False Sense]

If I recall, didn't Sakurai tweet a picture of a model Monado sword he saw somewhere?

EDIT: So, does that mean this means nothing?

 

[Zem-raj]

:bisonyes: Finally, something with meat to pound on.

You are torturing the context of that statement beyond reality. I have never seen words twisted so hard. If we can agree that the Yellow Devil is a Boss Hazard, and that Sakurai then stated 'other boss characters appear' whilst in the segment featuring the Yellow Devil, then the shadow he'd shown during it was in some way related to a Boss Hazard. Somehow, I don't think they would say, 'here's a boss of Pyrosphere' and then not show the boss. It wasn't a direct look, no, but that's just what you do when you tease graphics upgrades. You let the folk know they're THERE, and that they're gonna be glorious 1080p with crisp textures and oh man aren't you hype yet?

Wait, are you suggesting that I took the boss characters list thing as a theory seriously? Even when I typed the "", which is supposed to show I was fooling around? Flipping heck, lighten up why don't you XD. The only theory I believe in at the moment is the possibility of the lava hazard, because Pyrosphere FD's lack of lava flow and lava spores, and the change of those purple things. Pyrosphere FD is meant to be stage hazard-less, and with those things removed or changed, why wouldn't I be sceptical about Pyrosphere's boss hazard? Plus that bit may have been implying that Ridley is a boss hazard, but then it could be Sakurai tricking us into thinking Ridley's the hazard, or a play on words (I mean the section IS titled "Yellow Devil" and not "Stage Bosses" after all). He could be saving a surprise for us for E3 (playable Ridley), we don't know. Saying that Ridley 100% confirmed or 100% "de-confirmed" right now is just silly, all that Direct "confirmed" was that Ridley has a presence in the game. Also, I wouldn't believe the "boss characters appear on other stages" Sakurai mentioned meant it included already revealed playable boss characters, come on now...

 

[Kamiko]

Does anyone know if Oasis ever got a hold of that .obj Ridley model?

Samurai's

I can't get enough of people missing the "K" key.

 

[Xhampi]

If I recall, didn't Sakurai tweet a picture of a model Monado sword he saw somewhere?

EDIT: So, does that mean this means nothing?

I would say that this means that Sakurai liked Xenoblade, which would be a good thing for some Xenoblade representation, be it a stage, songs or playable character I do remember Sakurai adding a song (the tunnel scene song from "X") for that kind of reason.

 

[majora_787]

I wouldn't think Sakurai randomly talking about cool stuff he finds would mean anything other than Sakurai finds cool stuff and he talks about it.

 

[GraveJoker]

Ridley? He said that? Do you have a source?

If that's the case, then does that hurt Shulk a bit?

Fixed.

 

[AustarusIV]

EDIT: So, does that mean this means nothing?

It could possibly hinder the Gematsu leak's credibility if all Sal looked for was evidence that Sakurai might put this particular character in SSB4.

 

[majora_787]

A lot of things hinder the Gematsu leak's credibility by a significant amount. We really don't need this to do it.

 

[False Sense]

It could possibly hinder the Gematsu leak's credibility if all Sal looked for was evidence that Sakurai might put this particular character in SSB4.

If we assume the leak is fake, and that the "leaker" was just looking for likely characters for a believable leak, I don't think they'd need to do that much research. All they would need to do is look at the results of the RTC thread the day before the Direct.

 

[Reila]

If I recall, didn't Sakurai tweet a picture of a model Monado sword he saw somewhere?

EDIT: So, does that mean this means nothing?

I wasn't aware of this tweet. I don't think it means Shulk is in the game, but it means Sakurai likes the game, to the very least. Which would be good for Shulk's chances, indirectly.

I can't get enough of people missing the "K" key.

It is a meme.

 

[Donalp15]

I Sakurai likes the game doesn't that mean he is more likely to include that franchise in Smash? But this isn't a Shulk thread.
Anyone I am confident we will know Ridleys fate by the end of this.
By the way, are the stages for the invitational known yet? Because if Pyrosphere is missing I will be suspicious.

 

[Kamiko]

It is a meme.

What. When did people start doing it intentionally? I don't see it anywhere near often enough to imply that.

The only confirmed for the Demo is the NSMBU stage

Then it isn't. Believe what you want.

Wasn't another stage confirmed for the demo? Or am I thinking a different thing that wasn't a stage?

 

[DustyPumpkin]

Pre sure not everything on Sakurai's Twitter has to do with Smash
Who wouldn;t take picture of that kickass looking thing

 

[Morbi]

I do not believe that he confirmed anything in regards to stages as of current (except for the Mario one).

 

[lilt]

I had a conversation on Youtube: That's what he said:

The difference between Ridley and olimar is that Metroid is a more serious series and we have already seen ridley hold samus in one hand...so it would just be ridiculous to see him shrunken down. And don't bring up his nes size...that model was **** and you know it…

That's what I said:

We're talking about a series were Ganondorf can wear a bunny hood. Also, Other M Ridley would just look fine scaled down. You'll probably see it at E3. Consider that he was already sized down in the footage we got. He is barely bigger than Bowser. Why would you size down Ridley, if he is a boss? That's a terrible idea.

That's what he answered:

we only saw a shadow of ridley in the new game, his models in brawl were still much larger than the playable characters. I love how you mention Ganondorf, because the metroid series' equivalent of ganondorf would actually be Dark Samus. They share more similarities than Ridley does...so more people should hope that sakurai was trolling us when he showed Dark Samus as an assist trophy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah. It's quite hilarious.

 

[Xhampi]

Battlefield since it's where the final is going to take place. I think that's all.

 

[SchAlternate]

Ugh, I know you dislike Fusion, but this is getting getting irksome.

Anyhow, if we get a Fusion stage, it should be Sector 4.

Electrical water is the best lava/acid.

Yikes. So much stupid here I can't even begin. Would anyone REALLY feel less threatened if they were locked in a room with Ridley if he were "downsized" to eight feet tall instead of twelve feet tall? Would they *REALLY*?

And Dark Samus being the main antagonist of Metroid... I like Dark Samus but that's some right BS. Almost as much BS as Mother Brain being the series antagonist.

EDIT: At no point do I have to like a bad game or want a stage from a game I don't like. It's not like I sit here and go "Guiz stop ever complaining about Other M it got old two years ago". If you don't like that I didn't like Fusion then I really don't know what to tell you.

To be fair, he was not necessarily incompetent. The first portion of his post was just his opinion, after that, his erroneous Ganondorf/Dark Samus comparison was the only misguided sentiment.

What is this... I don't even...
There's just so much wrong with this, I don't know where to begin...
Clearly this guy has no clue about the Metroid games ._.

I would actually assert that he has no clue about Legend of Zelda games to be completely and utterly honest.

I imagine their next contribution to that conversation would have been, "And how can you make Ridley a playable character when they haven't even made it so Metroid can crawl".

Wouldn't Dark Samus' Zelda counterpart be, ya know, Dark Link?

 

[majora_787]

I imagine it'd be like... What. Mother Brain is Vaati, Ridley is Ganon(dorf), Dark Samus is Dark Link, SA-X is Shadow Link, and Gorea is Onox or something. Probably.
