Being the size of Bowser or being slow are assumptions based upon a short amount of footage of his shadow. If he doesn't have a weakpoint like Yellow Devil, like I said, he could be balanced out by having higher defenses and more hit points.
I don't even know how to address this when you're really running with a bunch of assumptions. Ridley being passive and unassuming? That's an assumption based on a short video clip. He doesn't need to have ridiculous amounts of health to be balanced, just a reasonable amount.
Roidley trying to cheer up Ridley that's actually cute
Are you saying that Ridley functions *ENTIRELY* differently from Bowser and Pikachu in terms of lighting and velocity? We can COMPARE Ridley's Shadow and Bowser's Shadow from the SAME STAGE right next to one another. You seem to be saying that SOMEHOW, it is more likely that EVERY CHARACTER follows 100% different lighting rules than it is that Ridley is Bowser's size. I don't think you realize how ridiculous that is.
He's too big to fit in your Wii U or 3DS, if that's what you're asking.
What if we decide to argue about this for another 50 pages while barely managing to follow the forum rules and ultimately get nowhere with it?
PERFECT! :D
This is a great idea! Why haven't we done that yet? Neary 900 pages and we haven't actually devoted 50 pages to an off-topic cyclical argument over something that isn't a valid concern to begin with?!?! I'm flabbergasted.
There's no way they kept Giant Smash. I mean, Ridley's only the size of Bowser! What if people played as FOUR GIANT BOWSERS? Game breaking! Can't be done. If Ridley's too big, that's just insanity.
I've done scales like this a while ago. Maybe you can find an even more accurate size based on this pic and your shadows.
This post became inaccurate the moment you posted it.
Well first of all I'm going to say there's no reason to go and get insulting. My interpretation of the footage was different, and I know you disagree but the way you worded it is a bit uncalled for.
I don't want to sound rude, but I don't think you realize how many assumptions have to be made before you can reach the conclusion "if Ridley were a boss, he would be a total pushover."
I really appreciate the effort that you put into doing the math. I suppose that if we waited 78% of the time already that we do not have much to go. It is not much worse than dial-up loading if you think about it. If we could endure that, we can endure this.
It was approximate to the date in seconds, not to the second. So it wasn't precise to begin with. haha but great comment nonetheless.
I would think that by the time the games come out, Sakurai would be ready for people to figure out for themselves whether or not Ridley is a boss on the Pryosphere.
I suppose that logic is feasible; that thought had not occurred to me.
Oh ****, I forgot. Damnit. So yeah, we might not get Ridley until release. 3DS first, and by the time Wii U comes out we'll know if Ridley is playable or not anyway.
Well, I ****ed up anyway, because Pyrosphere isn't in the 3DS game. (Actually we don't even know what the 3DS Metroid stage is yet.)
Comparing him to Bowser because that way we can reasonably compare Ridley's shadow to another character's shadow on Pyrosphere. From what I've found, we have the best picture of Bowser and his shadow in the air on Pyrosphere, though if there is a good one of Donkey Kong we could compare those as well.
We will probably know whether or not Ridley is playable September 13th (maybe 14th) though.
Nice your right that stage introduction quote is simular to the pyrosphere introduction one.Guys, there is one factor we need to look at that I believe helps Ridley.
Her.
Why do I propose this? Think about it, besides Ridley, she got teased the most by Sakurai (and this is not counting leaks of any kind) and not even all of it was potentially good. Take this PotD for example.
"Pic of the day. You can find this statue of the Goddess of Light in one of the stages. She's watching over the arena."
Kinda sounds like Palutena will just be part of the stage huh? Sure the quote specifies the statue, but without the hindsight it wasn't so obvious back then.
If we add this to the fact that Sakurai has never teased a character to any degree before deconfirmation, then I believe that Palutena's entrance bodes well for our dragon since he has received far more teasing and hinting then Palutena ever got.
Fixed.
I would hate to be that person, but technically he already "pulled the rug out from under us" during the Direct.
Not necessarily, it might take time for people to unlock everything in the game. Granted, there's always the review copies, someone with a review copy is bound to leak the entire roster to the internet.
I am pretty someone will get a copy of the game slightly early and we have a good chance we will know the roster by the time the release date rolls around if not by the end of that exact day.
I think the secret/DLC characters will be released as Amiibos a few months after the game releases. They're all going to come in spades instead of at once. That said, even if Ridley ISN'T playable in Smash Bros. there's still a high chance of him getting an Amiibo anyway.
Of course it'll do something. You can use it to train your playable Ridley, and also throw it at Ridley haters. :3
Ah, I see. I was under the assumption you guys were comparing them because they're both giant reptiles, and Bowser is historically the largest Smash character. Looking back, I'm surprised I didn't see that logic.
I'd buy a Ridley amiibo. Why doesn't Nintendo make a figure, for like, everything. I'd buy a figure for the most obscure crap!
I'm pretty sure only playable characters will get amiibo.
