Ridley has always been purple. He turns red through the course of Samus' battles with him in the 2D games, to show your progress.

It's been a while since I played a metroid game...

Wow. Never really had the chance to appreciate that design in-game. Meta-Ridley does indeed look very nice, even if he is substantially different from canon Meta-Ridley.

Heh. Yeah. I know what ya mean...

Speaking of which, found one more cool pic of Meta-Ridley in SSBB (these were from the smash dojo site yesterday. Wouldn't ya know it? 😛).

Maybe your issue with the image of Ridley is the angle of his neck? Or possibly the wide open eye.

Hmm. I'm actually fine with the eye, so it's probably the neck (as far as the regular Ridley in Brawl goes)...

Well, that, and the color. It ain't exactly the kind of purple I'm used to seeing him in, like these versions. 😛

Brawl Ridley has a different shade of purple, which I don't really like compared to the above examples, but I guess that's just personal preference.

Now SSBB's Meta-Ridley on the other hand, is flawless looking, IMO.

Yep, and he's red in most of the Super Metroid and Zero Mission official art (just adding onto what you said there).

The Meta pic is awesome.

Yeah. It makes it look like he could've been playable (with the way he hangs on a ledge like all other characters do), and his fireball looks absolutely awesome in that pic.

You don't get that kind of detail in-game.

I know.

Holy shit! Now I know why Ridley's referred to as the "anti-Pokemon" by some people.

Even for a character that got programmed to be a Master Hand clone, this here is stupendous.

Oh wow... look at those fangs.

I would kill to be able to play with that model.

My god that OWNS!!!!!

Now you see that's what I want to see, just look at that...wow, if that was playable god help anyone on the receiving end of his wrath, that would have been awsome to play as that, just awsome.

Indeed he would've been. 🙂

Soon I will be able to get on Brawl when my interent for it is sorted.

Sounds good.

On a side note, I can't seem to figure out how to get the Ridley and Meta-Ridley trophies in this game. When that Trophy Stand item shows up (the gold Smash coin thing), do you just throw it at the boss when its health is low? Because when I tried throwing it at Meta-Ridley, he didn't turn into a trophy for me to pick up (like normal enemies would). 😛

The Trophy Stand item shows up rarely too, especially during boss fights. Guess it'll take a lot of patience for me to get the Ridley and Meta trophies in this game. *shrugs*
But at least I got a Space Pirate trophy so far =) (as far as Metroid stuff goes).

Yeah, the only way to nail Ridley/Meta-Ridley's trophy is in battle with him at least below half health. In all likelihood Meta-Ridley's trophy will fall behind the Falcon Flyer, so be sure to jump after it and grab it in midair to end the fight with the trophy intact.

I very happily have a ton of Metroid trophies. Samus, Samus FS, ZSS, Power Suit, Gravity Suit (Prime style), most of the Hunters, Space Pirate, Dark Samus, Metroid Prime (both forms), Samus' Gunship, a Metroid...

Your doing well GK.

Below half health huh? Alright. Will give it a try, and I'll keep that in mind about Meta-Ridley. Thanks for the tips. 👆

And wow. There seem to be a lot more Metroid trophies than expected 😱, though too bad there's no trophies of Rundas, Omega Ridley, or anything from MP3:C, but since MP3 and Brawl were developed around the same time, I guess it couldn't be helped. 😬
Having Ridley, Meta, and Omega in the SSE would've been tight though. 😈

I bought a SD Card for the Wii and have 200+ pictures of Brawl on it now. A lot of them are the Ridley and Meta-Ridley battles with ZS Samus, Sonic, Mario, and a bunch of other characters in moments where Ridley is pwning them just to bring a smile to my face.

Heh. Nice...

Is it possible to post them by any chance? 😮 Or do you need some kind of camera to do it? If so, don't wanna make you go out of your way to do it.

Sounds awesome nonetheless though. 👆

There is a program called "bin2jpeg" that will change your Wii .bin snapshots to .jpegs if you transfer them on an SD.

cool I am getting that.

Me too (an SD card that is).
