Brought you again by yours truly, the Strongest.

Ridley sure loves his presents.

Though it should've been an N64.

 

[TheJohnMonster]

I think Santa gave him what he wanted, you would think he would coal too, for being a bad little boy and killing everybody.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

I'm pretty sure demon furby to dragon isn't any more wierd than clam to eel.

Yeah, or something like that, and I did like how infant Ridley's screeches provoked the Kihunters and others in the area to attack Samus when he couldn't fight himself yet, and how adolescent Ridley got other creatures to keep Adam's men busy while he ambushed and pinned her down. Clever all throughout his evolutions.

lol, I remember that.

A Gamecube would be more fitting since Ridley (and Metroid in general) never saw the light of day on N64 outside appearing in the first Smash game .. but I remember that pic too, though not the other one.

Coal would just give him another thing to burn regardless.

I'm not worried about Ridley being to big (I use to think he was) because they could probably work around that. What I'm worried about is that he seems like he'd feel like an awkward character to play as. I'm sure they can figure something out but he seems a little to wide (not big!) to me, but maybe they could just place his tail and wings closer to his body, maybe I'm worried over nothing. However, if they can do Ridley well, I say go for it.

 

[TheJohnMonster]

If anything i think he would be too long, what with the long neck, body, and tail. Unless he walked forward with his wings flat on his back and his tail curled, and neck bent. Just like his Super Metroid form

 

[Ridley_Prime]

I think too long kinda holds even less weight than the too big argument, personally. Either way, I'd be fine with his tail being curled, wings flat on the back, and neck bent while walking if it fixes what some see as a potential problem with him.

With Ivysaur and R.O.B. being in Brawl, I'm pretty sure "awkward" doesn't mean anything at this point.

I mean, one's a four legged plant thing that primarily uses vines and spores to attack, and the other was originally a stiff peripheral with limited movement.

I love Ivysaur

The size arguments work everytime
I think his length could be weakness/strength because he could reach very far, but people could hit him rather easily.

That is the other side of the size argument. He will still be big, that is not argued.
But those will be the general attributes of his size. A smash that jabs his tail forward could have a huge range, but a move like ZSS plasma whip would also hit him rather easy.

I didn't explain that well, I forgot the story. Convinced someone that Ridley's size doesn't work against him in smash context. I know full well he will be big, but in smash that shouldn't matter.

My thoughts exactly about him (for the second part).

Now, I haven't played much of the Metroid series, so I have a question...


Did Ridley's tail only have a stabby dagger-like appendage in Other M, or in other games as well?

He did have that in Super Metroid, I think. Not sure about Fusion or Zero Mission, or the Prime games.

 

[TheJohnMonster]

The Brawl Ridley was pretty accurate in most ways
In Super he would put his tail under him and bounce like a pogo

 

[Deleted member]

His tail always had a point, but it's "dagger-like" appearance I believe is exclusive to Other M.
By which I mean, it looks like you could rip it off of him, tie it to the end of a stick, and you got a kinfe.

Attach it to a stick and add some feathers for an arrow, make a shield out of his skull, just like in Alien vs Predator

 

[ChronoBound]

Has anyone here noted Ridley's cameo in Nintendoland. I think that should count for something. Speaking of Nintendoland, Ridley's stomping ground, Norfair, appears to be arena in the Metroid minigame within Nintendoland.

 

[Deleted member]

The Robo-Ridley (as to not confuse it with Ridley Robot)?
Kind of old news. Doesn't really change anything though; it's already a well-known fact Ridley is important to the Metroid series, so it stands to reason that there would be SOME reference to him.

What's more interesting to me is that there is a Waluigi outfit for a player in the Luigi's Mansion inspiried game.

 

[TheJohnMonster]

He is also in some fighting game, and he appears like in OM and blows up that big platform you fight him on, so in the fight you see Ridley in the back flying around.

 

[NeoRidley]

Ridley would be an awesome character to have. Along with Dark Samus or either a Hunter

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Apparently, Robo Ridley is confirmed as a boss in Nintendo Land's Metroid Blast. This would be perfect advertisement of Ridley's overall abilities, as well as how good of a fighter/Metroid rep he is.

See around 1:06

Edit: Sorry, I didn't see the upper post. At least the video showcases his attacks and role in the game.

 

[TheJohnMonster]

Nice to see his influence is spreading

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Is he firing electric bolts or something now? lol But yeah, this is pretty neat.

Screenshot for more convenient viewing.

I guess he's firing something like Meta-Ridley's version of the plasma beam but with a purple recolor. Reminds me of Prime's wave beam to an extent now, and I guess Robo-Ridley can damage Samus's ship too. Cool.

 

[Oasis_S]

I wish they had little strings attaching him to the ceiling. Would fit the theme.

puppet ridley for sm4sh

this design is so much better than any of his previous iterations. totally the one to represent him forever.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Naw guys, that's casual garbage. NintendoLand isn't cool.

/Sarcasm

Really though, Metroid Blast looks fun. Like, it's my favorite attraction that I've seen so far. It'll be getting a lot of play time at my house, both solo and multiplayer.

 

[Deleted member]

The Metroid Blast almost looks like a big game of laser tag.

 

[Mypantisgone]

The whole level is themed around mechanich/metal,so there's nothing wrong with this Ridley.

LOL Because he's cute and fat unlike his more hideous Omega and Other M forms? Next thing you know, there would be a Plush Ridley in the next Metroid game.

Laser tag room: Ridley edition!

Yeah, though they could've just used Meta-Ridley for it since a lot of him is mechanical, but I guess that would've been a little lazy compared to coming out with this kind of robotic Ridley (not to be confused with the one in Zero Mission) that blends in with that world more.

Because the fan-made ones and stuff aren't enough? And I found his X-mimiced form in Fusion to be uglier than both of those.

Not to mention fighting him in Fusion was annoying as hell due to the high erratic movement and ear ****** screeches. I always have my volume down since those screeches hurt my ears in that fight. One thing for sure it that I'm glad he doesn't sound like that in the 3D Metroid games. ~_~

[PsychoIncarnate]

Ridley isn't that big if he can sit in a judges chair

 

[SmashShadow]

What the hell is that >>>__>>>

 

[Deleted member]

That would be Judge Ridley.

 

[Phaazoid]

I think it needs to be his default look

dat sexy mouth

it's like duck ridley
