Meh. Alright.

It's only like a couple minutes though.

Yep...

Anyhow, I thought about doin' this awhile ago, and now I've finally done it (this was my first time using Windows Movie Maker too. It was a bit time-consuming at first, but still worth doing in the end IMO. 'sides, someone was bound to make something like this eventually).

A short rant about Ridley's exclusion from the roster. Straight and to the point (don't be offended by the mild profanity) :

YouTube video

If I get bored or have more spare time in the future, I might make a vid like this of another character who didn't make the playable cut, but since people already made vids like that about Mewtwo (my only other wanted character for the most part), I doubt I'll be making another one, but it's possible.

All those points were true.

Of course. 😛 Wouldn't want to say something that isn't true. xd

I like the edit of him in the chair. 😂

Yeah. It's a classic. I've had the original version of that pic laying around for quite awhile, so I guess it was about time that I put it to good use. 😛

Pretty much any pics that make Ridley look more humanized like that are enough to amuse me.

I often wondered how his neck could support his head...

*shrugs* Who knows? That's one detail I never really paid attention to though.

That's an interesting video.

We get bored this respect page has been going on for 24 pages; only consists of 3 main posters, we felt these issues of Ridley not being playable in brawl should be addressed.

The first frame of that video is from a cartoon called "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy"...

I feel I should point out that if the thread becomes nothing but, in essence, whining about Brawl, we will consider it off-topic and it will be closed.

Just a warning. There's a place to vent about things you don't like, but it's not here.

Please don't close what took so hard to begin.

Don't give us reason to and we'll all be happy. 😊

Excellent.

Man...isn't cool what Ridley does to Samus in Subspace? At least they made him seem bad@$$ in the game.

He looks good.

Shame both his fights are short (and they seem easy). I just spent around half an hour fighting Omega Ridley on Hyper mode not to long ago and I was pushed in the corner struggling just to stay alive for a bit longer waiting for health and I never had any trouble battling Metroid bosses before...maybe the player was just really good.

Shame Ridley wasn't in Hunters because that game needed some different bosses besides using the same two again and again.

Yeah the boss health could have been better.

Err, thanks. 🙂

*is shocked to see that you posted here though*😱 That was kind of random 😛, but thanks for your contribution nonetheless. 👆

Should be addressed? Err, it has been for the last few pages or so. That's enough as it is now if you ask me, especially after that Ridley vid I just recently made.
Honestly, nothing more needs to be said about his exclusion from the roster, unless you have something to add that hasn't been mentioned already. Otherwise, we'll just be repeating things. No sense in beating things to death.

And, I don't really care how many "main posters" this thread consists of. As long as it's kept alive, I'm fine with just 3, or even 2.
And even if this thread were to die off sometime soon, I'd still be satisfied in the fact this made up to 24 pages. Easily my biggest thread accomplishment here at KMC, and thank you to all that have contributed so far.

Heh. I never watched the show that much, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Interesting find.

I can agree to that. In fact, I'd rather this be closed than become what you described there anyhow (there's a place where I draw the line too).

'sides, it's not like Ridley's inclusion in Brawl doesn't have any good factors at all. It does have some. Not to mention, SSBB is far from the only game that Ridley's in for us to talk about here.

True (well, aside from Ridley being a Master Hand clone). If Pikachu hadn't of ruined the fun he was having with Samus, that SSE scene probably would've been my favorite Ridley cut-scene by far, but the Omega Ridley intro still remains my favorite one due to Pika's interference.

Ridley should've grabbed both of them to slide/drag along the wall (he has 2 hands after all).

Just like any other boss in a Super Smash game...

Unlike most bosses in Metroid, the ones in the SSB games don't really require you to aim at a certain weak spot. You can just hit 'em anywhere to do damage.

That's what I dislike most about Ridley and his Meta form being bosses in Brawl (if anything). It makes it look like he can be damaged/beaten by anything (though needless it say, it would've worked the same way if he had been playable, but at least you would've gotten to control him)...

Heh. Maybe...

Of course, it also depends on the difficulty level that was played. If the Ridley and Meta-Ridley fights (in the SSE videos shown so far) were played on Very Easy, that would explain a thing or 2.

Indeed.

Well, at least that game had Weavel (whose also a Space Pirate general), but that doesn't really cut it. 😛

In a way though, I'm kinda glad Ridley wasn't in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Imagine how deformed he would've looked had he gotten possessed by the Ing. Ing Ridley probably would've looked even worse than Ridley-X...

I wouldn't say it was his health that was lacking in Brawl. Just the general difficulty level. Being the Master Hand clone he was made out to be, Ridley even inherits the trait from Master Hand where he just randomly pauses for a few moments after performing an attack. With Pikachu, that'll make Ridley too easy to beat since you can just keep using Pika's Down+B move when Ridley pauses in mid-air. 😘

With Samus though, he'll be more of a challenge, especially since most (if not all of) her attacks (while in the Varia Suit) were made considerably weaker this time than in Melee.
