How's this look?
Make him a little bit bigger to make him head taller than Samus, then it would be better.
Well, now that my really bad mood/worries have passed...I will say it again, NO ONE CAN USE MY SKETCHES/ DRAWINGS/ STUFF (Ridley or non-Ridley related).

I know they are sketches, but these are still my work.

"AND SHE'S DEAD SERIOUS!"

Thank you.
Yes, si- ma-am..?
Why you didn`t said that before? And where did that Meta Ridley model came from? I need it!
It is a mariachi skeleton? (I looked for it) if it is that one...meh. I prefer my concept...
I think it was...anyway, he looked like a mexican skeleton in a nice outfit and had such abilities...and more than that. And i prefer Ridley over anything.

Hey guys. :3

I see you are all approaching 1000 pages. Thats great! :D

Just felt like sharing my thoughts and history with Ridley.

So I guess I should start with where I first saw him. Naturally, when you don't know of a Nintendo franchise, you learn about it from Smash bros. So my first encounter was from Melee's opening cutscene. I think Ridley stood out to me the most. I even memorized his name...kinda...I...I kept pronouncing his name "Rideley..." >.>

Anyway, brawl came out. Liked the boss fights with him and Meta-Ridley.

Then when I started to venture out into the wonders of the internet, I started to see the Ridley support. Now, I never thought of him as too big. Though, that's mostly because I never even considered him playable because of not knowing anything about him. I heard about the too big argument right when I saw the support for him.

Now, how do I feel about Ridley? Well, with this much fan support he should be in the game. And too be honest, I am intrigued of what kind of moveset he could have. As a character himself, not too invested in. I'm more of the cute & cuddly kind of guy. With that said there are some interesting things about him I heard here and there. Apparently he is intelligent and can regenerate. That true?

What do I think of his chances? Well, I think they are rather high. I think a Ridley will be playable. Why do I word it like? If my limited understanding of metroid is correct, then there is more then one Ridley correct? If thats the case, then the Other M Ridley could be a boss while the Super Metroid Ridley can be the playable one. If there can be multiple zeldas, multiple samuses, and mulitple R.O.B.s then there sure can be multiple Ridleys. :)

I decided to put this out there in the first place because I just finally got off my lazy butt and decided to play super metriod. I wanted to see my general impressions on Ridley as a beginner fan of the series to when I beat more metriod games so I'm posting this here.

Wasn't too into it at first, but once I started fighting Kraid it started to get really fun. I have the speed booster now, and will continue to play it further. Might even play Metroid Fusion afterwards. Never thought I would have fun with the metroid series. Didn't seem like my kind of series. :p

This has been a PSA from Andrea and Ridley's very dapper cousin Rilbey. /weird references nobody will get

Oh that model...it is from a screencap to the Meta Ridley diorama from prime 3...

-u- they always use a mariachi...a person of MONEY and elegance (el catrin) is rarely known...

I'm just yanking your chain and referencing gentlemen thieves and comparing your Ridley to them.

We need like 30 different Ridley relatives with slightly different names anyway, don't you know. :p

D`OH! Why is every model i need unavailable?!...at least i have regular Meta Ridley...

Person of MONEY and elegance...then it isn`t mariachi skeleton.

Yes, it isn`t show in games that much, but is still present.
Yes. There is 3 Ridleys - original, his clone and said clone`s clone...kinda.
Good luck with this game and especially one of its parts - Maridia...

Though admittedly pretty sure he's not as fancy as your Ridley. :p There are layers to fanciness here.

What pallet swaps should Ridley have? I wonder how white would look on him?
Ridley X (blue team), Super Metroid concept art (red team), Zero Mission concept art (green team), black, Meta Ridley`s colors. Something like that i guess:
But with black and Meta Ridley`s colors instead of Zero Mission (in-game) colors and Firebrand`s colors.
White? Pretty nice actually.

Well, like I said, interesting character.

I'll probably understand the clone thing the more I play the metroid series...hopefully.

Thanks. :D Also, I do have a general idea of how the game plays out, but not exacts. I believe you are talking about the sand place, and yeah, didn't look too fun but I'll make it through. :3

This is my Reaction when Ridley is a stage Hazard
Pff. My reaction will be:
Or even
Your reaction isn`t RIDLEY enough.
If he is confirmed, it will be:

Yes it is and it is one of the worst areas in games i ever saw. It is very easy to get lost in Maridia and i got lost even with a guide...maybe its just me...


Also, i found this:

Is that some kind of aquatic Ridley with a fishbone for a tail?

There could be a version of Meta-Ridley's wings or something that's made/adapted for underwater use, like how there was the aquatic version of the flying/jetpack pirates in Prime.

Well considering that Ridley killed Samus's parents and that they harbor absolute and deep hatred for each other, I don't really think it would make any sense.:ohwell:
They could sing the song loathing from wicked before eventually becoming best friends and then betraying each other for the wizard but eventually getting together for steamy terrible sex

I'm sorry

I regret nothing

Damn. My knowledge on Godzilla monsters has been fading away. I must have confused her for someone else entirely. But Feral Chaos is still sort of reptilian in my eyes, so there's that.

So anyways, I've been looking at some videos of True Ogre and, not gonna lie, I would be disappointed if Ridley isn't at least half as brutal as he is.

There's a long-snout version of True Ogre?? That's it, that's it! The only thing lacking between it and Ridley at this point is sheer bulk and the elongated neck. And Other M Ridley already makes adjustments on those!

COME ON NAMCO, PULL THROUGH FOR US!! (Alternative: Come on Sakurai, don't screw this chance up!)

This thread is pretty big, but it's still small enough to be used as a character since it's not as big as Ridley.

How did the "ridley's too big" argument even start? What made him get singled out when we already have bowser and ganondorf, and Hades is a highly requested character who nobody calls too big?
No clue but my initial concern regarding Ridley's size back in 2007 was that his default size would be too big that his model would clip through the floating platforms such as the lower ones at Battlefield. I don't mind this if the characters grew bigger with Super Mushrooms or Final Smashes... but not if that's the character's default size. And I'm concerned that he wouldn't look good if his default size was smaller.

Even through Rosalina can do that without any items?..if SM version will be used, then maybe yes, he would look kinda weird (but i don`t care how weird characters look), but not OM or at least model with such proportions...eh...whatever, its your personal opinion then...

Anyway, we already know that they used design close to OM (or just OM design) and that Ridley is somewhere near Bowser`s size according to our shadow analisys using Ridley`s and Bowser`s shadows on the same stage...and how can i delete my posts if i need to?

My 5 cents:
I don't think Ridley is likely, because I believe that Sakurai's tease was a confirmation of him being a boss. Just not shown off because he's a WIP case.

I do support the chance of him being in though.

Don't know if anyone's posted this in the thread already, but I feel it should probably be posted nonetheless:
Found it over on 4chan, but it does raise some pretty valid points.
Also, spoilering the pic because it's pretty big. (feel free to make your 2BIGLEY jokes accordingly) :b:

It happens after level INFINITY+1 if you will use Stone of Awesomeness while eating tako and playing Super Metroid. Don`t forget to kill all of your pokemons except for Ridley unless you want Ridley to kill you.
Except Ridley is undoubtedly a Dragon type so... *brings out Gardevoir* Wait, this one isn't from gen VI, hold on. *looks for Diancie* Shoot that hasn't been released stateside yet. Um, here! *tosses useless Swirlix* Immunity bro!

Why are most of the good Fairy types reconnected Pokemon from past gens...

Ridley at level INFINITY+1 does not cares about game mechanics. He just breaks fourth wall and then breaks player`s head.

I could make a rant on why Dragons beat Fairies despite immunity, but that'd be off topic.

Ridley used Earthquake! Swirlix fainted!
