Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[majora_787]

Are you seriously telling me this is Ridley?

In before Roidley is somehow worse even still.

 

[Vintage Creep]

I just go up and down. Right now I'm convinced he's playable. In a week I'll probably be convinced of the opposite.

 

[Neo Zero]

I think this Ridley needs to hit the gym and use some steroids. That gut.

 

[AustarusIV]

So does anybody want to explain how they would represent Metroid in the Smash series?

No?

Okay...I'll just leave the room now.

You have to remember that some of us Ridley supporters aren't fans of Metroid itself. I do like the franchise, but I've only played the first 20 minutes or so of Super Metroid so I can't give an actual input for the matter. I will say there'd definitely be more then Bulborbs in Smash Run though if I had my way Pikmin-wise...

64: Playable-Samus; Stage-Tourian
Melee: Playabel-Samus; Stage- Brinstar Depths(gotta love Kraid)
Brawl: Playable-Samus, Ridley; Stage- Norfair; AT- Dark Samus, THE BABY
Wii U/3DS: Playable-Samus, Ridley, Kraid(because bias); Stage- Pyrosphere(because I have no other ideas)(Wii U), SR388(3DS)(is the name right?); AT- Dark Samus, THE BABY, Sylux

 

[majora_787]

I really don't have much to say. We have Samus, I want Ridley, I'd REALLY love a stage from the Prime series (most likely Prime Hunters), and that's about it. And I AM a fan of the franchise.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Smash 64: Samus
Smash Melee: Samus
Smash Brawl: Samus, ZS Samus, Dark Samus, Weavel, Ridley
Smash Wii U: Samus, ZS Samus, Dark Samus, Weavel, Ridley, Anthony

 

[Lolo Lolo]

I think this could be a quite good Metroid SSB4 representation prediction:

Playable characters:
Samus, ZSS, Ridley (if Ridley's not playable I'm calling there will be another Metroid newcomer ... after all those ATs)

Assist trophies:
Metroid, Mother Brain, Dark Samus, Anthony and/or Adam

Items:
Skrew Attack, Power Bomb (after that Smash Run thing), (something else?)

SR enemies:
Metroid, Geemer, Reo, Kihunter, Skree, Zebesians and/or Prime space pirates, (surely something else)

 

[Pacack]

64: Samus
Melee: Samus
Brawl: Samus and Ridley (wouldn't have added Meta Knight in Brawl)
SSB4: Samus, Ridley, and Dark Samus/Adam?

I don't think I would've thought to use Zero Suit Samus.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Check it guys, Ridley confirmed.....

The problem though, no one is getting before him, the second most important characters after Ridley are ATs. inb4 anthony

 

[Neo Zero]

Check it guys, Ridley confirmed.....

Can all announcements be a musical production now? Please

Also that crowd reaction is totally the opposite of what would happen.

 

[Lolo Lolo]

Check it guys, Ridley confirmed.....

he destroied my dreams at the end

It's hard for me to think about something different other than what I'm seeing because I like what I'm seeing.
Anyway:

Playable characters: Samus/Zamus (like Brawl), Ridley, Anthony Higgs
Stages: Phendrana, Meridia, Elysia, Pyrosphere
Items: Grappling Hook, Screw Attack, Energy Tank, Giga Bomb
Assist Trophy: Mother Brain, Metroid, Rundas, Adam Malkovich, Dark Samus

I know Ridley deserves to be playable before everyone but you know ... his chances are 50/50 and he deserved to be playable in brawl ... and we got ZSS ...
I'm NOT saying he's not going to be playable, I only did a realistic prediction
...
we're going to get a Metroid newcomer ... Ridley or someone else

Who else from the Metroid series is there though, really? Sylux? Rundas? Anthony? Toon Samus?
The last one doesn't exist, but still better than Adam. Or the BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY

 

[Neo Zero]

Please...don't give Sakurai any ideas.

 

[TitanTeaTime]

Please...don't give Sakurai any ideas.

If Sakurai read these boards Tingle or K Rool would have already been announced.
Though maybe he does, and made Tingle an AT to smite him... OH NO WHAT HAVE I DONE
I'M SO SORRY EVERYONE

 

[AndreaAC]

Check it guys, Ridley confirmed.....

"..."

WHAT WAS THAT?! -__- I think I have got a new reason to hate musicals now...

 

[Neo Zero]

Toon Samus?
The last one doesn't exist

I'm sorry, but I just had to after thinking about it.

 

[AbioFlesh]

Who else from the Metroid series is there though, really? Sylux? Rundas? Anthony? Toon Samus?

Baby Samus, Pink Gold Samus, Doctor Samus, Young Samus..

 

[majora_787]

Please...don't give Sakurai any ideas.

Toon Samus and Baby Pink Gold Dr. Ridley join the fight!

 

[Neo Zero]

Baby Samus, Pink Gold Samus, Doctor Samus, Young Samus..

I don't know I'm not Sakurai
as I said before I'm only doing a quite realistic prediction
AND I KNOW RIDLEY MUST BE PLAYBLE ... HE'S MY MOST WANTED CHARACTER

 

[Jerry Applesauce]

Just gonna barge right in here and ask, has anyone equated Ridley being playable to Andross being playable yet? I won't do it, although I am a "detractor," but I'm wondering if anyone has brought that thought up yet. It's got to have crossed someone else's mind other than mine, big boys.

Andross has hands to grab the ledge, and that's good enough for me.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

For Metroid representation I'd just have added Ridley in Brawl and called it a day. Every other Metroid character besides these two aren't going to have a big future in the franchise itself, so they're not really worth having in Smash as they'd end up as eventual cuts anyways. I'd probably have made different and more faithful stage representation throughout it all too, maybe also some better items than just Screw Attack, but aside from that it's good.

This is basically the reason why no one besides Ridley is getting in, why care to make a fighter that will be cut/replaced eventually instead of the one who is always going to be in the new games and can have his data copy pasted to the next game?

The issue with Andross isn't any issue Ridley has. Andross is shown as a floating head with hands. Unless he is appearing in the upcoming Star Fox game in person. he doesn't really have a body "too big" or otherwise. So the only issue would be making a body for Andross to actually use.

Ridley has a body and can be resized to work. And... that's basically the end of that.

Heck, who says he needs a body. Just make his head about Bowser big, make him suffer knockback the same as anyone else, keep his hands in the back/foreground like Ridley's wings, and there you go, playable Andross.

Ridley for Star Fox Wii U (actually that would be legit awesome)

 

[CardiganBoy]

Baby Samus, Pink Gold Samus, Doctor Samus, Young Samus..

I wouldn't mind having lots of Samuses, you know?

I just think he'd be better off with one, since the best and most creative concepts for Andross usually involved him having a body and using sort of additional floating disembodied hands and other things. But anything can work I guess.

 

[Hong]

Hey, Toon Samus would be really cute.

But I suppose Mii Fighter Gunner already could kind of do that.

People generally don't raise fits about characters such as Sheik, Jigglypuff, Ike, and Lucario, and yet they're all veterans who rarely, if ever, make new appearances in their series. I agree that Metroid is starved for truly recurring characters to represent Smash, but that doesn't mean that I can't support Dark Samus to be playable. She represents the Metroid Prime sub series, which revived Metroid from its dormancy and helped it reach the height of its popularity in the 2000s.

 

[Snagrio]

Check it guys, Ridley confirmed.....

That doorbell sound at the very end was Ridley coming in from the back auditorium entrance about to go on a killing spree, which explains Sakurai's shocked expression of terror.

Sheik was part of Zelda's moveset, Jigglypuff and Lucario just got more relevant in Gen 6, Ike appeared in Awakening's DLC(just like Marth)

Like giving him jet boots...

I literally can't see the correlation between Ridley and Andross. Besides, we already have Wolf for the "antagonist" rep.

True. But I don't see how Dark Samus could have been left out of the loop because her last appearance was in Metroid Prime 3, which is just as old as Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn. Her AT shows that Sakurai didn't completely forget about the Metroid Prime series.

They're both big boys as well as recurring main antagonists of their respective series? Not to mention they also fly and float and try to kill you when you're fighting them, and they both keeping coming back from defeat in different forms, but my primary point rests in the prior sentence.
