Soooo....did my art just get totally drowned out by that lame troll attempt or is it really that bad? It's kinda hard to tell right now...:c

If Sakurai truly doesn't give Ridley a trailer before release, it would be such a wasted opportunity, but at this rate I just hope to see him playable on September 13, If they string him along til the wii u release, I don't think my mind can take it.

Welp pack up everybody, Ridley's officially been deconfirmed.

This is how it ends; not with a bang but with an effeminate Charizard.
Aeridactyl Charizard color confirmed. Yay i guess? Looks more like white Charizard with purple wings than Purple Charizard:

Show me this lock icon, i never saw the allstar portion of the leak.
Yoink':

I think it was part of that very large leak where Wario trophy was also shown.

Alt colors are always meant to represent another character from the same franchise. I'd hope Sakurai is not THAT mean to us :lol:

But is it with the same set of images that showed the (potentially) full roster? Duckhunt, dr mario etc.

Its clearly an Aerodactyl costume
, seeing as it is the same color scheme of the body and the wings match. Ridley is not that pale, and Aerodactyl is. Ridley doesn't have that color canopies, Aerodactyl does. Not to mention when comparing Gen 1 pokemon a common comparison with Charizard is Aerodactyl. Move along.

I don't know. But it had so many images of so many things with new models that is is most likely part of it, just like that Bowser Jr and Shulk videos (both are not actual gameplay - they are part of the video since Shulk video then goes straight into Yoshi home-run contest - so, those images and videos are part of the leak/from same leaker).
Here it is: http://imgur.com/a/PzeCw I think it is a bit NSFW because of...certain images, but i don't know.

And Link in Mario Kart 8? Wow...

Yeap.

Me? I will say that a Ridley trailer won't happen until the game is released, so I won't expect it and get my hopes shattered
I've stopped expecting anything to happen. That way I will be pleasantly surprised all the time!

I'm not sure how that is even supposed to be remotely close to the palette of any of Ridley's incarnations.
Uh, Ice Ridley deconfirmed. Sorry guys!

I don't think we'll get a trailer for Ridley, maybe some kind of tease in the last newcomer trailer (if it happens). He'll probably be a secret character along with other villains, however I would be pleasantly surprised to see a reveal trailer for our purple space dragon!

So, what if Sakurai makes it so that the Japanese reveal has no unlockables besides veterans and clones...

And makes it so that the Japanese audience have to wait for the Western release to come out to be able to unlock the unique characters.

And, of course, Ridley is one of them.

So yeah. You know that Ridley drawing I mentioned a couple days ago? No? That's ok. Decided to come back to it after all! Hopefully I can get it done before next Friday or whenever the big news starts coming, but just in case...here's what I got so far.


Hope the proportions look alright despite being so HUGE! What can I say, I was having fun with it. :chuckle:
I like it, very stylized. Is that a Samus doll he's holding?

Also, wasn't it confirmed that all newcomers will get cutscenes available in-game? So even if it's not a reveal trailer....

Same guy, same bunch of pictures. What we don't know is if the guy took all pictures at once or if he kept unlocking things after taking the all star pic and then took a photo of the full roster.

Too much effort, this will not happen.

Ahh dangit... so this looks like it still may be the full roster then, that's a real kick in the teeth.

Releasing Ridley before or after the Japanese release date if leaks didn't come from Japan wouldn't make much a differece.
They release 2 weeks apart, that's not that long.

I thought that was the guy who just leaked pictures of the video, and that he didn't have the actual game (hence the focus of the photos being stuff like gross things, demonic things, and uh, womanly parts, that the ESRB would have to look at in order to rate the game).

Unlikely. The Japanese market is Nintendo's main priority despite its declining relevancy. They will not withhold any content from a japanese game to avoid spoiling it for the overseas market.

That will be unfair for Japanese audience no matter what kind of characters are left for Western release. And for Western audience too. It is very unlikely anyway since Nintendo is so focused on Japan. And do you think that Japan will remain silent if Nintendo would delay their Shulk and other characters that were so requested in Japan? Or that we will remain silent if Ridley & co.'s fate will be revealed so late?

That would be really dumb and isn't consumer friendly at all. Customers don't want arbitrary timers on content that is already made and ready. It's only another two weeks or so until the western launch anyway.

I don't think leaker took them. Maybe its part of a video that was sent to those guys that rate stuff. It would explain why right after victory screen in Shulk leaked video, there is Yoshi at home-run contest and why there is such...things in those images instead of something actually interesting.
Anyway, why are we talking about it?

A few days left guys and then we will know his fate. I wish we knew since April.
I kinda like the wait. I think I'd get a little bored knowing for too long. That seems to be the case with a lot of people with Mega Man, WFT, etc.

I'd rather sit on the edge of my seat, and hopefully, at the end of the wait....
