Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Deleted member]

Reggie just confirmed on the IGN stream that there is more smash bros character announcements at the roundtable and potentially the invitational

NINTENDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR!
Anyway, I doubt we'll be getting any more newcomers (sorry guys) but vets? More than likely.

 

[UltimateWario]

Actually, it does.

Sal got another email last night. Mii's were listed as "Mii Fighter". What did we get today? "Mii Fighter". Is that another lucky guess?

Yaaaay, more proof positive of a terrible roster. -sarcastic party blower-

This ****'s going downhill faster than a lead landslide in a goddamn black hole.

 

[VenomSymbiote]

Dang so we seen an unfinished FD Pyrosphere back then.....Hmmm.

Doesn't mean it was unfinished. The lava could spurt out in intervals every so often.

I guess it's possible we could learn something later today. I saw someone say Reggie said there's more Smash announcements later, from an IGN stream. I wasn't watching it though so don't quote me on that. Still I think I may be broken. I figured today would be the day he's revealed if ever. If he isn't later on then I think that's it for me. Though to those who still have hope, keep on trucking. 13 years is just a rather long time to want him in. Maybe there will be a pic of the day that rekindles my hope. If not it may come back before Smash 5. That or I'm just bummed and will be back to hoping later today. In any case I really need some pancakes. That should cheer me up.

Yeah, vets are very likely. Perhaps one newcomer, as Reggie stated potentially at the invitational, and unless it's Captain Falcon no veteran would hype things up at the invitational, seems like it should be something more special.

I want vets the most though, with the reconfirmation of the Gematsu leak and what looks to be the final newcomer roster I just want Meta Knight and Jiggs so I can be done with this character waiting. Ridley really isn't looking likely at this point imo.

 

[Shog]

My hopes for Ridley aren't up much...please let me be wrong! PLEASH

Miis are better than expected, but that's still three separate movesets for an avatar.

 

[WayfaringElf]

Sakurai wants us to feel hopeless, so he can dazzle us all when Ridley comes crashing into e3.

 

[Con0rrrr]

Source?

IGN? I don't know when they upload their live stream but imagine it'll be after it matters.

 

[The King of Skulls]

Looking at the Mii more, I actually like it. At least the sword one looks sick.

Sir Dry Bones mii ready for action!

Hoping Ridley is revealed soon.

 

[RidleyDX]

Don't lose hope yet, guys.

Your profile pic makes your comment much more fitting

 

[WayfaringElf]

The big announcements will come later today. Ridley and possibly a new Metroid. I can feel it!

 

[Klaww]

I noticed this from the amiibo trailer.

If we go by the assumption that all custom moves are reskins of other characters' moves, this looks pretty good for Ridley. I think.

I've never played a Metroid game, but that looks like the fireball that all the Ridley fan movesets have so whatever.

It also looks like Bowser's classic fireballs from SMB1, but every custom move I've seen so far looks like it comes from another character, so I'm down.

If you don't go by that assumption, then it means nothing!

Someone with a Palutena avatar should reply to this with some sort of "You rang?" type of response.


Someone.....

Don't worry, my time is coming during the Invitational I'm sure.

I believe Ms. Reila has such an avatar.

 

[Reila]

...it was a stupid question.

Anyway, someone else mentioned the same thing as you, so I suppose that is enough for a source. Hoping we get at least one more newcomer, Ridley or not.

Big game announcements are over at this time, Metroid isn't getting a new game at this point. The X trailer sure made my heart jump though, the music and visuals seemed very Metroid-esque.

Still that mystery 3DS game.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that, it's the one that has a Q&A right? I doubt Metroid warrants a 90 minute Q&A though.

If you check the schedule theres a lot of games that are still say unannounced

 

[UltimateWario]

Alright, guys. The chips are down. We're looking at increasing amounts of evidence that Ridley isn't playable. So why not, instead of whining and getting mad about it, we get our asses up and do something about it?

THIS is the voting page for Clone Engine characters for Project M. Here, people vote about and discuss characters they'd like to see in Project M and why, etc. Ridley is currently in second place, behind Isaac, but the thread is devoid of any good Ridley talk (and it's mostly just boring Earthbound characters being brought up over and over).

You people need to take your ideas, your love for Ridley, and put it in this thread. Make Ridley an obvious choice for the Clone Engine. Not only will he become playable (no guarantees, of course), but he'll be viable, lovingly crafted, and unique. The Project M Backroom knows how to make a character work and feel great. They rebuilt Mewtwo from scratch, for Christ's sake.

Sakurai may be able to overlook us, but Project M won't. It's a Smash built for the fans, by the fans, and Ridley's true home is there, among the ranks of some of the best-designed Smash characters to ever grace the battlefield.

We may have lost the battle, but we haven't lost the war, fellow Pirates. Join the fight for Ridley for Project M and see our efforts actually come to fruition. Let Sakurai add his Miis and Chorus Men. I'll be busy maining my favorite characters in Project M.

I have to say, seeing 2 correct sal leaks makes me believe it more. If we see a third sal leak at the round table, I will believe it.

However, it still doesn't spell an end to Ridley. it doesn't mention a character cap, or say anyone who's not gonna be in. Even as Sal becomes more and more credible, Ridley stays just as ambiguous.

 

[Lolo Lolo]

Well I can't watch the treehouse and the invitation and the developer direct streamings but Tomorrow I'll watch them and I hope I'll finally see Ridley somehow (possibly playable)
...
if he is not playable then I want to say 2 things to you all:
1- DO NOT SAY THINGS LIKE "IT'S MII'S FAULT" ... it is NOT any playable characters' fault
2- Ridley for SSB5

Miis are three separate clone movesets. That's all they really are.


EDIT: And I still think Ridley is playable. Yeah, Sal Romano's leaker has some accurate information. But other information he has is wonky at best and its not the full cast, either.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

E3 ain't over yet.

And if not, we still have a couple months. That's plenty of time for character reveals!

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Hang on guys its still not over its over when ridley is shown as a boss or playable.

And now when we have a real smash bros 4 roster leak is revealed and ridley is in it or not.

Besides at 7:00pm to 8:30 pm is round 2 of smash stuff.

I don't have a direct link, but I can give you what Sal said. @Swampasaur can verify.

"Hey, guys.

Funny that this page is talking about a new e-mail, because that's exactly why I'm here. Received one last night, but missed it in the mix of all this crazy E3 coverae.

But there's not much new about it, so I didn't think it was worth posting on the site.

I'll leave what it says here, though, in case you guys can use it in any way.

Basically, I was told that:

- Last E3 before game's launch (obviously)
- Participating characters: Pac-Man, Mii Fighter, Goddess Palutena, Shulk, Chrom, Chorus Men (none of these are new, obv, so I take he means these are the participating characters for E3?)
- There has been internal debate about keeping Lucas versus Ness, apparently Lucas is likely to get the cut
- Nintendo is planning post-launch character DLC, source doesn't like this as he thinks it's greedy

And that's it. This E3 should make or break whether this guy's the real deal. Let's hope for the best! =)"

 

[UltimateWario]

Oh, yes, heaven forbid we miss such showstoppers as "Veterans everyone knew were getting in" and "Yellow ball that hasn't done anything decent in a few decades".

When is Eastern Time for those? I can't seem to find out.

 

[SomewhatMystia]

Smash Tourney is 7 PM EST.

Roundtable is 10 pm.

Got me until that Lucas is getting cut and that DLC is already planned

 

[Phaazoid]

Don't be so sure. He's just accurately predicted every character reveal 2 E3's in a row. 1, maybe a coincidence. 2? he has info.

I'm not saying I'm sold on the leak JUST yet. Palutena and mii were both heavily predicted. But, it's looking ever more likely. And remember, it doesn't kill Ridley.

When we see an actual deconfirmation, we'll get right on that.

I see where you're coming from, but as @ Phaazoid said, he has guessed the characters correctly. That's the toughest to do. He probably has information on the game that we simplydon't.

if you ask me, this is all but confirmed. Hopefully for you guys, this isn't the last of the newcomers.

This is all I can hope for at this point. Future is looking slightly more bleak, but not gone yet.

He just listed the newcomers he had said in the past, just like last year, he is going to get something right

 

[The King of Skulls]

I really, really, really hate the Sal leak more than I hate the ingrown on my right big toe...

But, since it's probably true, I'll just have to suck it up and beat up Pacman as my punching bag.

But hey, Bowser finally has a ranged fireball, right?

 

[ChunkyBeef]

Ranged options for slow characters are excellent options.
