Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[Atomic_Shaymin]

Ask about the menu
smh

 

[TitanTeaTime]

Goddamn, all of these forums are being extremely negative. It's hard to keep up optimism (still hanging on surprisingly) with all these posts going around. Have a cat gif, maybe it'll cheer you guys up.

 

[OblivionWolf]

Someone should just ask if Ridley is a stage hazard and nothing more.....Does that count as a character question?...

 

[majora_787]

Well, seems like they're taking this all the way. It frustrates me that we don't get a confirmation, but it only makes me more confident that this will end in a confirmation within the next three months. With Mii and Pac-Man on the roster, we could REALLY use it too. :Y

 

[D-idara]

Wow, Sakurai just put a Meleetard on his place, the man has earned my respect back!

 

[SvartWolf]

well, at least the finals match was pretty fun... i doubt it, but I hope sakurai taken note of how important platforms are for competitive smash and instead of FD style stages we get Battlefield style stages... but oh well...

 

[Reila]

Welp, last question is about the online.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

No ridley today (maybe tomorrow or thursday)

But extreme news

M game and watch and pac-man are confirmed playable

Can't wait to see the pac-man trailer when it gets posted.

 

[Xzsmmc]

If we have to wait until December for any kind of closure...

 

[majora_787]

We would be waiting until September. If Ridley isn't on the final 3DS roster, he isn't playable.

 

[Reila]

I am personally done with speculating about Ridley. If he is in the game, then great, if he isn't, I will have to deal with it.

 

[Myuutsufan4832]

I wish I was there to ask sakurai if ridley is in the game as a hazard or not.

 

[JaidynReiman]

We would be waiting until September. If Ridley isn't on the final 3DS roster, he isn't playable.

October, isn't it?

 

[Xzsmmc]

You wouldn't get an answer.

 

[samsparta21]

October, isn't it?

September for Japanese release.

 

[majora_787]

October, isn't it?

Not for Japan it's not.

 

[Knight Dude]

Well not much happened when it came to Ridley so far. I guess we'll have to wait until the release of the 3DS to if by some small chance Ridley's in. I'm interested in seeing Pac-Man though, Mr. Game and Watch too.

October, isn't it?

Yeah, early October was the release date.

EDIT: Japan gets it in September? We'll there's going to be a crapton of leaks then.

 

[D-idara]

Come on, Sakurai, don't be an asshole, give us a Ridley reveal, a glorious Ridley reveal with a trailer uploaded tomorrow.

 

[JohnathanACE]

Well guy it's over, better luck next time.

 

[Con0rrrr]

It's over. Sakurai leaving for Japan tommorow. We have another 3 months of speculation folks

 

[GraveJoker]

I do not want to keep speculating, but I am not losing hope. I just don't see a point into hanging out in this forum unless there is another tease.

 

[Trigger123]

No they said there could be more info in the upcoming days

 

[Con0rrrr]

Sometimes Sakurai is stupid. Revealing stupid Palutena over Ridley when EVERYONE is watching? Great idea 10/10

 

[Waluridleykryrool]

I can't take much more of this, thought for sure we would get closure today,but nope more headache. Perfect time for reveal at end of tourney nope, pyrosphere playable so we can see if he is indeed a hazard nope....WHY WON"T IT END!!

 

[domriver]

Well Nintendo still has tomorrow. Maybe end the E3 with a bang? AKA Ridley Reveal? Its the ONLY thing left now - if not then i suppose just waiting till release.....

 

[Omega Tyrant]

I'm pleased, the revealed characters are neat (and Miis look much more interesting than how could have ended up), and Ridley remains alive for another day.

 

[SvartWolf]

well, i really hope that he isn´t a stage hazard, because this game doesn't have bosses, yellow devil was a stage hazard, almost noone tried to kill it, and they used it more as a terrain adventage, or just plainly ignored it.

 

[Xzsmmc]

I'm pleased, the revealed characters are neat (and Miis look much more interesting than how could have ended up), and Ridley remains alive for another day.

If Ridley is destined to die, I'd rather it happen sooner than later. I just want some damn closure already. All this dancing around him is excruciating.

They'd have Sakurai there. He's leaving for Japan.

 

[majora_787]

:Y I seriously doubt anything big is going to happen with Ridley with E3 ending on Pac-Man of all things. He MAY be in the August direct, but I have to wonder. We'll most likely be resigned to waiting until September for the roster to be leaked to the west.

 

[Oasis_S]

Should have kept this thread locked.

 

[Snagrio]

Sometimes Sakurai is stupid. Revealing stupid Palutena over Ridley when EVERYONE is watching? Great idea 10/10

Actually, he didn't show anyone when a crowd of thousands (in house and online) were watching live. You know, the best possible moment to reveal something? But no, just letting the word out via blog is a much better plan.

 

[TitanTeaTime]

I, for one, am looking forward.
To post 34567 to be exact. Another arbitrary number to argue incessantly towards.

No reason to bash other characters you know somepeople like them both

 

[majora_787]

I still have plenty of hope, but with Ridley not revealed at E3 and us having two months until the next direct and three until the game releases in Japan, it's patience I'm out of. I doubt I'll be hanging out here so much unless something happens.

 

[SchAlternate]

Sigh, I'm gonna be gone for the rest of the week, so I may miss the outcome of this thing.

 

[SvartWolf]

yeah, revealing pacman like that was very... uhm... anticlimatic.... im pretty sure the vast majority of smash fans doesn't know about teh sal leak...

At least they could have uploaded the reveal video on the site somewhat at the same time...

 

[Saltwater Gem]

I really don't see the purpose of hiding Pyrosphere if Ridley wasn't an impossible to conceal boss like Yellow Devil.

 

[Waluridleykryrool]

Seriously what was with that? A huge third party rep revealed at an event with no photography, im still dumbfounded as to why they thought that was a good idea....

 

[majora_787]

I really don't see the purpose of hiding Pyrosphere if Ridley wasn't an impossible to conceal boss like Yellow Devil.

It would be called keeping a hidden character hidden.

You probably don't know this, but the last three Smash Bros. games had characters who were hidden and were generally unlocked and not thrown out before the game's release officially.

Now you know.
