Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[The King of Skulls]

The absurdity of this thread is a vortex that sucks in all of creation within its too big maws of confusion and insanity. Ia Ridley! Ia!

For reasons I thought of Hooktail from the Thousand-Year Door.

You win this round.

"YOU MADE ME SPIT MY RED WINE! NOW YOU ARE GOING TO PAY WITH YOUR SOUL!"

Really...you made me spit my drink with the "Ridley's gender" discussion! xD

 

[Epsilon52]

A metroid and a Ridley walk into a bar...

The random animal gifs are a bit much, folks. If not Ridley, at least keep it vaguely Metroid related. Thanks!

 

[GraveEclipse567]

You guys are my heroes.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Kraid has three of them.

His battle with Samus is actually his attempts to mate with her.

Who ever said that Kraid was male?

 

[WayfaringElf]

Who ever said that Kraid was male?

Mother Brain.

 

[GraveEclipse567]

Who ever said that Kraid was male?

Don't start
Please
For the love of all that is good on this planet
Don't start a discussion about Kraid's gender

Quick everyone, be Excited, Metroid Style

Just imagine a high-pitched "Yay" overtime he opens it mouth
Yaaaaaaay

Nah, clearly Draygon is the only other Space Pirate commander besides Mother Brain to be female.

Poor lady is cannibalized by her children.

Well I was going to do a public execution, but I guess a warning works too.

For the dozenth time this week (not that that's ever been an excuse), save it for when this becomes the Ridley Social/GD, people.

Welp. Now I feel like a criminal for posting cat gifs. But yeah... back to metroid.

Now he said this is not 100% accurate but pretty good anyway.

And my shadows pinpoints have the same thing so.

here we go.

(Oh by the way I cut out Ridley's wings since each wing is bigger than his whole body.)

Spoiler

the final words are...

reminder the shadows are stretched out so if you adjust it correctly and you will have the correct size.

by my calculations ridleys height is just a few hairs taller than Rosalina.

(oh and as for the width of him reminder again its stretched out that part is tricky, but for prediction about 1/8 wider than donkey kongs.)

Pfffthahaha, no. We're far beyond saving. Even if they changed the game to Super Ridley Bros., we'd find some darker path to turn to.

Turns out that darker path was a file path. On my hard drive. Contains solid evidence for Ridley's gender. I burned out my eyes.

What about the shadows of genitalia?

This is my fastest repost EVER.

Alright, I'm going to try re-analyzing my shadow analysis.
First, this pic.
Ridley's legs in Other M are really stumpy. enough to fit 3-4 tails inside. So, this is likely Ridley's tail at its least distorted.

Spoiler

Next, the tail is roughly a quarter of this brick.

So, Ridley's size relative to the Pyrosphere is this large.

Spoiler

Rotate the Pyrosphere a bit, line it up with the platforms...

Spoiler

And remove the birds-eye view.

Spoiler

Anyone want to help me get a better size/disprove this pic?

Roidley's journal: Wii Fit Trainer

"So I watched Big Bro walk through the hallway yesterday and that trainer lady passed by and made a comment on his belly. Big Bro, the loving person that he is, politely threatened to bite her head off for such a remark. The trainer lady then decked him on the nose like he does to me on a regular basis, so that must mean she likes him. Then she made him do push-ups. Hehe, Big Bro looked so tender and loving when he gave the trainer lady death glares."

Extremely important things.
Like discussing if Ridley is a male or female.

Boredom struck, and we started debating Ridley's gender.

Yah, he's a dude, but it's fun to find proof that Ridley's a lady.

 

[Chase]

Not really sure what to say at the moment

When I don't check the board for a couple of hours all heck breaks loose.

if important means awkward or weird or embarrassing or anything that fits with this music:

Then, read all the pages because that was VERY important.

If not, nope (and don't check the pages you'll thank me IF you check the pages so I hope you won't thank me).

Pyrosphere isn't the same shape as the Geothermal Power Plant.

 

[AustarusIV]

There's been something on my mind.

Is it possible to place Ridley's shadow on every other stage of the game? So that way, we could possibly get some additional analysis in how this large this game's Ridley is.

I understand that what we've seen is already distorted, but I just want to know.

 

[Epsilon52]

I thought this thread was locked because its still on page 915.

Does ridley have a different name in Japan?

No, even if Ridley were playable, you'd only be able to play him on the pyrosphere. Mashpotato said so on that update a while back. It's a mute point

It's the same, Ri-do-ri -

(r's and l's are the same in katakana that's as close as a translation as you'll get)

very possible I would think with the dedication of the Ridley fans here that there is one somewhere already

That reminds me I used to make Space Pirate logs while waiting for E3.

Uh, I may not ever bring that back because I keep forgetting about them, but it was a thing.

Pyrosphere isn't the same shape as the Geothermal Power Plant.

The only notable difference between the two is the fact that a portion facing the screen has been chopped off. IIRC.

....Like Ridley BDSM....?

Too far?

I'll just leave then...

 

[Epsilon52]

Not sure how many smashers even know what bdsm is. They'll Google it and come back with rush knowledge.

Ive been thinking that they're aren't too many obvious shoo ins for the roster. I feel better about ridleys chances every day.
