Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Pacack]

Like I said, it's not because I dislike Pac-Man. It's because I hate the Sal leak. I'd be equally satisfied with a Palutena deconfirmation. While I don't dislike Pac-Man, I despise Palutena.

It's alright.

We can hope for a Chrom disconfirmation instead. I don't want to Gamatsu leak to be real either.

 

[Reila]

Is the general consensus in here that if he isn't revealed tomorrow, he's not playable?

If I were you guys, I would honestly hope for the best, but expect the worst to happen. Simply so that it doesn't hurt as hard if he isn't playable, but it's that much more sweet when he IS playable.

That might just be me though. . Good luck tomorrow guys!

There isn't a consensus. Some think he might be unlockable, others think tomorrow is his only chance of being revealed (I am in this group).

 

[PlasticBag]

You guys must really hate Chrom.

Ahh well, more love for Shulk.

Surprise twist - in order to go along with the villains E3 theme of K. rool mewtwo and ganon and Ridley, instead of Chrom, black knight from Ike's games is the FE newcomer xD

 

[majora_787]

I seriously don't think the Gematsu leak is real as it is, and I have no idea why people hold onto that. But this isn't the thread for that either.

 

[Deleted member]

If they completely avoid him and Pyrosphere, I'm taking as a confirmation
If he's revealed as a stage hazard, IF he is bigger than the shadow analizies, I'm taking a confirmation of multiple roles

 

[Reila]

Nah, I just prefer Robin. And Lucina. And the red-haired girl (forgot her name).

But yeah, Shulk must be in. I need Xenoblade music in my Smash.

Yah.

E3 is basically the biggest event of the year, so it would make sense to reveal him at this date. And there's no point in making him an unannounced secret character when he's been teased so thoroughly.

I mean, unless there's a Direct a week before the game's release...

 

[majora_787]

The game would have to be released pretty late in August for there to be a direct prior to it I'd think. If it's out in late June - early August I think this is the last chance to show stuff that isn't a non-3rd party veteran reveal.

Iam guessing You will know our Names is your jam, but I kinda prefer Time to Fight, Yoko Shimomura is da best.

Or if, you know, they do a good 'ol fashioned let us find out on our own

As much as I hope that's the case, I do kinda doubt it

You Will Know Our Names is a given. The second track (for the 3DS version, the Wii U can have tons of tracks) should be the Colony 9 theme. <3

I'm now imagining what if they decide to keep him an unannounced secret character.

(Playing on Pyrosphere for first time)

"Hey, where's the boss? This game is ruined!"

Well, I mean, there were around 8 characters un-anounced in Brawl before the game's release in Japan, 4? of which newcomers? At least Rob/wolf/toonlink, maybe one or two more. It's just Brawl got leaked completely.

Yeah there are too many song to chose from, shame were only going to get two for the 3DS, I wonder what stage were getting I kinda want a floating stage flying around the Bionis and Mechonis but that's a tall order

 

[Phaazoid]

Welp, I'm going home for the day, I will furiously speculate and watch and all of the above the E3 with you guys from work tomorrow instead of doing important adult things

Unless there's a meeting and I can't get away with it

that would suck

It was 12 characters unannounced; all unlockables minus the third parties, four of which were newcomers (R.O.B., Lucario, Toon Link, and Wolf).

I really hope its not real since Mii would be a huge waste of a character. I honestly don't want Pac-Man in either but I'm ok with it as long as they don't use his Ghostly Adventures appearance (that version of Pac-Man is so annoying).

 

[Saltwater Gem]

A few things...

For all we know, you might be able to select bosses on/off. So if Ridley doesn't show up on Pyrosphere, that might not necessarily mean that he is not a boss. We won't know for sure.

Second, I just rewatched the portion of the Direct with the Yellow Devil. There are actually a number of flying platforms going around the level... just like on Pyrosphere. So the presence of these flying platforms doesn't mean that a boss cannot appear.

To be fair, the Ghostly Adventures version we'd likely see would be a lot more saturated, which helps a lot with its appearance.

The second one is waaaay better than the first, isn't it?

Said platforms also conveniently disappear when the Devil appears. And they're mobile, unlike the static platforms on Pyrosphere.

 

[Saltwater Gem]

If Pac-Man MUST be in the game, I hope it's a flat 2D sprite.

Those platforms could disappear as well.

Well I guess its OK as long as he doesn't talk. His Ghostly Adventures voice sounds like a stoned surfer.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

They're. Static.

They have NO REASON to disappear.

 

[majora_787]

The static platforms and huge size just make tiny Ridley really awkward as a boss if he turns out to be one. What are they plotting? They're up to something.

EDIT: Have we ever had a stage where STATIC platforms that are part of the permament stage layout on a non-moving stage disappear? I don't think so.

 

[Reila]

So I read that "riddle leak" and I am hyped as **** again. Damn.

I am going to take a stab at it: Playable Ridley?

 

[SchAlternate]

Holy crap, I leave for an hour or so and all the optimism goes down the drain.

Come on guys, you're better than this.

 

[Pacack]

I would much rather he uses classic sounds, myself.

But this is off-topic, so I'll stop now.

What's the Riddle leak?

 

[majora_787]

Genius. Why didn't I think of that? :B

But yeh. Everything about this stage just spells doom for Bowser-sized Ridley. There's like that 1% of possible doubt, but I'm pretty convinced he's playable at this stage.

 

[JohnathanACE]

Holy crap, I leave for an hour or so and all the optimism goes down the drain.

Come on guys, you're better than this.

We really should be optimistic. Tomorrow we could very well have our most wanted newcomer and an awesome trailer introducing him. Ridley could very well soon be part of the Smash family!

 

[Morbi]

There is nothing but optimism here. We are pessimistic for Pac-Man apparently, Ridley is fine though.

Well first up is conker the squirrel got resurrected.

http://smashboards.com/threads/e3-2014-rumor-leak-discussion-thread.355241/page-125#post-16860415

Someone posted it a few days ago and some of the stuff that was posted fits with what was shown in Microsoft's conference today.

It isn't necessarily legit, but if it is... hype~

 

[Saltwater Gem]

The platforms on Wily's Castle are on a track. That must mean that both the platforms and the track mysteriously disappear for the Yellow Devil to come in. The Pyrosphere platforms can do the same thing. It could be something as simple as the past F-Zero stages where platforms just rise up and down depending on whether or not they are needed.

 

[SchAlternate]

It's more like Rare being like "Alright, you want a new Conker game? Make it yourself, ya little *****".

They're static platforms, we have never seen them disappear on vanilla Pyrosphere, and I highly doubt they'd make Pyrosphere be not only a TOUR stage, but a lava-hazard-based stage with a boss so inexplicably awesome that we can't behold its glory despite tons of requests for playability.

Occam's Razor: Ridley's playable, and there's a new lava-based hazard that takes advantage of the large stage.

 

[Dr.Megaman]

I think Ridley has a 50/50 chance. I thiink he will be both playable and a boss.

 

[majora_787]

if they make it a rotating lava hazard tour stage () maybe it'll be so absolutely insane it'll actually make ridiculously slow scyphozoa Bowser-sized Ridley more like a boss. By which I mean not at all like a boss, and more like dealing with tons of BS while an awkward thing floats after you.

It'd be better than Dinkley just being a slow and small boss on a huge sprawling stage with platforms for everyone to use to never have to deal with him.
