Important The Ridley for SSB4 Thread - End of an Era

[False Sense]

Huh?

Well, that's a cute poorly made fake.

Though I guess Kraid wasn't too big to be re-sized.

 

[Xhampi]

Huh?

There is always someone bigger indeed......

I'd like a Kraid AT, less than seeing Brinstar Dephts returns but it's the next best way to see Kraid in HD.

 

[Riskman]

That totally isn't just this

Oops. Too LatE... I hOpE nOtHiNg BAd hAPpeNS TO ME.
And thank you. Sentry, Clunk and Gnabot best Nauts.

Mate, Voltar and Swiggins are the best.

Anyways, Ridley's final smash can be damn well anything as long as he makes it in the game.

Here's Ridley in the most recent Metroid Movie.

That's a funny way of saying Genji.

Huh?

Dammit I wish this was real. Having Kraid as a playable character would make my life. Gonna start Kraid propaganda after Ridley gets in. And Kraid's gimmick could actually be his size! Seriously, the size in that picture could work for a playable Kraid.

'EY YO PEOPLE I MADE RECOLORS OF ROIDLEY

I forgot who it was who made the orignal image... But thanks to them!

It's Other M, Brawl, Neo Ridley (Fusion), Zero Mission (original art), Super Metroid (original art), and Ice Ridley (Nintendoland).

 

[NintenRob]

Not even at 1000 yet? Lame, I need to start an argument to get there faster


RIDLEY IS TOO SMALL.

ABSOLUTELY
There's no way a character that small can get resized for Smash!
Let's just ignore for a moment here and this argument totally works against Ridley!

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

How does this look?

Keep in mind, this is the same-scaled Ridley as the direct Other M model, only with BaganSmashBros's longer legs.

Also, could I have some stages with idle Samus on them? I want to see how this more upright Ridley looks on other stages. Will post this sized Ridley on other stages soonish.

Think of it this way: Your efforts will help us get to 1000.

If they were sibling series prior, during the NES era; that is something that will never change. You cannot change your family.

I just interpret the two as siblings regarding Smash because Palutena was teased just about as much as Ridley. #ArbitraryLogic

lol Fair enough.

Well, Sakamoto made many decisions that helped influenced the design for Kid Icarus when he and the Metroid team joined in after that game was finished. They're both Metroidvania games that have Metroids as an enemy (which are called Komaytos in Kid Icarus), and have experienced a revival at some point.

And no thank you to Sakurai doing a Metroid game. He would probably make Zero Suit Samus into some pivotal game mechanic while relegating Ridley to being a run-of-the-mill boss.

Ah, I see. Now that makes more sense. (Talking about back when Sakamoto actually did good things in the eyes of everyone feels kinda weird now though, lol.)

Was basically my initial reaction to the idea too, but just because he translates Ridley inaccurately and poorly as a boss in Smash doesn't necessarily mean he would do the same in a Metroid title and make him equally forgettable there (he at least acknowledges Ridley's importance in Metroid based on the Smash trophy descriptions). You may have a point though about the ZSS part. Would not want that if it downplays what she can actually do in her suit.

Um... what did I just look at?

This thread is really good at saying confusing things without the need for gifs. Resisting the urge to give a half-joking example

 

[Angelglory]

NEVERMIND, DIS BE GARBAGE​

 

[majora_787]

That's a pretty good playable size for Ridley. He's noticeably larger than Samus, and is definitely still intimidating.

 

[TitanTeaTime]

Surprise, huh? Alright...

INTRODUCING, THE LATEST SIZE MOCK-UP

Here's how tall I think Ridley will be after going over the sizes for the Smash 4 cast in the E3 demo. I've put Bowser & Rosalina here since they're the two tallest characters revealed. And of course, there's Samus for comparison.

Here's one with only Ridley & Samus

And here's Ridley on his own.

[collapse=And Samus]

[/collapse]

Yup, I'd say that's a good size. Now the next time a toobigot comes in, let's just quote this and argument over.

B-but! Ridley probably just follows his OWN entirely exclusive lighting physics that are different from EVERYTHING ELSE in the game! D: He has to be like 50 times larger, just like ALL of his canon appearances! Because Smash Bros. has to abide 100% by canon!

*fartingnoise

Um... what did I just look at?

I actually had an idea for a Metroid game with ZS Samus as a toggleable form to switch to and from. She would have the ability to actually tread water, would gain a Gravity powerup to allow her to move freely through water and Zero-G, would have jet boots to give her temporary flight, and in general would be a faster, quicker, but weaker Samus. Her Zero form would act as a substitute until Samus actually gains the Morph Ball, Hi-Jump boots, Power Grip, etc. and in general would be a crutch.

The initial reason I thought of it was because it would seem logical that Samus would be fighting the GF in the next game, and Samus may not be able to take down GF soldiers just doing their jobs without killing them. Hence, Samus could instead incapacitate soldiers in her ZS form, as it is less likely to kill anyone. Some sort of morality system to make future bosses and areas easier or harder, depending on how many soldiers you kill.

Sounds well thought out. I do believe that the next Metroid game will include Samus losing some of her powers and her requiring to get them back.

Actually, it might be a LEGITIMATE reason to authorize force, since the enemy ISN'T totally, irrepentantly evil like the Space Pirates.
Alternately, Samus can freely toggle what powerups she needs. She could kill legions of starter enemy soldiers with her Plasma Beam. but then again, morality system would kick in to make future stages harder.

Also your avatar kinda looks like something from a Banjo Kazooie game, for some reason.

Huh.

First off, love your avatar. Looks like K. Rool if he was purple.

Second, have you been following my tail-shadow-on-Pyrosphere-brick size charts?

Because your Ridley is just a hair smaller than my Ridley.

Yeah, it doesn't look like it, but that's because my Ridley model is a terrible slouch.

 

[Angelglory]

Nope, I only used the size chart I made for the E3 demo and how Bowser & Rosalina were almost tall enough to reach Battlefiled's lower platforms.

Eh, I guess that wouldn't be a bad execution of the zero suit at all. You'd think though that some basic power suit weaponry of hers like the power beam would have a stun mode or something that only downs/incapacitates enemies instead of killing them (the ice beam perhaps being a better example of freezing something without killing). But yeah, I would not mind that sort of morality system one bit regarding the GF.

As for bosses, still kinda want a cloned Ridley (that was done intentionally by the GF, instead of accidentally like Other M) that's cybernetically upgraded with Federation tech; their version of Meta-Ridley basically. The idea struck my fancy anyway after looking back more at the Federation tech suit upgrade Samus got in Prime 3 in the form of the P.E.D.

You think THAT'S weird?

Welcome to Japan.

Back to Ridley, though...

What I was questioning wasn't so much the suggestive nature of it, but where that gif scene was actually taken from. What movie, show, or whatever had that Xenomorph looking thing with the extending tail?

 

[Oracle_Summon]

Alternately, Samus can freely toggle what powerups she needs. She could kill legions of starter enemy soldiers with her Plasma Beam. but then again, morality system would kick in to make future stages harder.

So...Samus would be having a mental breakdown in some levels? I hope my thought process is wrong on what I am theorizing.

 

[Chase]

Guys, I have a question.

We all know when Ridley is going to be revealed his "gimmick" is going to be flight. But how would this be pulled off? I think there would be two variations of his up and down specials at once. (Ground Up Special is to Take Flight, and Air Up Special is to make a gust of wind or something, and Ground Down Special is the Tail Crush, and Air Down Special is to Land).

Any other ideas?

 

[Phaazoid]

Well, if Ridley has a flight gimmick

Meta Knight and ROB might have it too

or something similar

idk
