Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 3: Ridley's Believe It or Not!

This is a good analogy.

Also, as my great-granddaddy Jebediah Neiteio once said, "There ain't no hype like Sakur-hype."
 
Samus' Other M/SSB4 power suit design is okay itself... just that it's a step down to what she had in the other games. I wish they didn't go with that. :\

Sounds like a reality TV show.

Whoa, this is all making sense now.

I wish I had a prize for you, but alas.

I always liked the light suit from Metroid Prime 2. Wish they would do a color swap based on it because the white looks nice.

That's probably my second favorite suit after the end-game Phazon Suit from 3.

I feel like some people are more judgemental regarding Samus's armor simply because of its origin.

It looks sleek and good

I've hated the design of Other M Samus since Other M was first revealed before I knew that the game itself was terrible. It's just... not a very good design. She looks like a cheap action figure. SSB4's is a pretty good redesign of it though. Like it was designed by an actually competent artist instead of the terrible artists over at Team Ninja.

The Prime 2/3/Hunters Varia Suit is still my favorite Samus suit design.

As good of a job Smash's artists did on making the Varia Suit from Other M presentable though, I still doubt they can work their magic on the Ridley design. They're art designers, not miracle workers.

You assume they're going to use the Other M one. I think it's more likely that they'd use either a modified version of the Super Metroid design or a composite of multiple incarnations (keep in mind that Ridley's appearance differs heavily from game to game aside from his general build, and even that varies in scale. )

It looked like plastic garbage in Other M (although everything in that game looked awful) which made it almost comical considering how much better looking her suit was in Metroid Prime 1 back on GC.

Yeah, but it looks much better in Smash 4. I think it's the texture, it looks more like reflective metal. The colors are also better, especially the shade of green. There are also some good features in the original design like the helmet shape (Which resembles a bird's head).

I was so happy seeing the Dark Suit and Fusion Suit recolors in brawl. Hopefully we'll see them again with new options. I'm personally hoping for this bad girl.

Yeah, I'm betting we'll get the purple Super Metroid Ridley design used in previous Smash games if he does show up.
 
I just thought of a really troll-like reveal trailer Sakurai could do.

Opens with Samus running around a planet or something, eventually she comes across Ridley. They have a little fight, then suddenly a newcomer (Shulk maybe? Little Mac for random emphasis on the size? I have no idea) runs in and takes Ridley out.

What happens after is your choice.

I'm not a huge fan of how it looks in Smash 4, I think it would look better if it was more reflective like the Brawl one.

The Brawl suit looks pretty great. It looks heavy and powerful. The only issues I have is that it's not the Prime suit and it has a huge crotch section. Samus doesn't need a jockstrap.

And then Ridley comes back up and eats said newcomer.

"Ridley chomps down on the competition!" Checkmate.

Mario for instance still looks the same as he always has, his designed hasn't really been altered in any way for Smash Bros. U, however, characters like Rosalina and Peach have had them altered in a way I'm not particularly a fond of. "How?" might you ask? Well, take a look at their official art and how they are portrayed in the video games.

I think you're overlooking that in many ways, Smash 4's art style is basically Brawl's with a different color pallet. When Melee came out, we got the more realistic proportioned Peach, with more detailed clothes, but Mario's outfit became denim, rather than just blue overalls, and his proportions were tweaked too (longer legs, smaller chest). Peach had more realistic proportions in the first place, so she ends up looking closer to Zelda, while Mario remains cartoony, it's just Smash Bros' unified art style.

Brawl added further detail to most models, and also had less vivid colors in many designs. The art style of the Wii U game seems to do away with more realistic textures, like Mario's denim, and generally has brighter colors when they weren't bright before, but the designs are still following Brawl's very closely. Giving Mario blue overalls makes him look much closer to his "official model", but making Peach's dress pinker, while leaving all details from Brawl's dress still keeps her fairly different looking from her default design.

Meta Ridley dies to a Monado Buster, it is effective against Mechon after all :P

also clearly Zelda should have ALBW design

I posted this in the other Smash thread, but I think it bears repeating here: What the fuck was up with Brawl's Metroid tracks? No seriously, what the fuck?
Click to expand...

they're hilarious, that's what's up (also they were generous enough to give us vocal-less versions in SSE, if i recall correctly)

god now i'm really itching to hear more of SSB4's music
we've only gotten a few arrangements so far (wily castle, nintendogs, i believe mario 3d land) and heard a lot of original versions of songs. hope there are plenty of new tracks in the final game (also i need confirmation of the return of my music)

edit: whoa are my ears deceiving me or is 3DS battlefield's music an arrangement of the melee menu theme

I like the SSB4 suit for Samus it seems more flexible and allows for better movement and less clunky. I actually found her other SSB suits gave off a cheap kids toy aesthetic compared to this one. The changes make sense for Other M given its gameplay and how flexible/acrobatic she was in that game. However, I suspect SSB4 won't reflect that.

After the trailer ends you see an egg hatch and Baby Ridley chick comes out attacks and devours Little Mac with the newcomer thing appear. Thatd be the ultimate troll. It'd piss so many people off if Ridley made it in as his chick other m form. Granted I could see some cool gameplay ideas if Ridley starts off as a chick and can grow into his dragon form with a final smash.

Yeah its a shame how badly Sakurai does Metroid. He gives us lackluster stages, mediocre music selection, no Ridley and almost entirely ignores the Prime series. In an alternate universe there is a SSB with Samus & Ridley as playable characters, Phendrana Drifts, Sanctuary & Phaaze as stages and some good Prime music remixes.

I hope Zelda more closely resembles SS Zelda. One of my favorite adult Zelda incarnations.

There's no way in hell that a Pandora's Tower rep gets into Brawl is there?
Since apparently no one gave a damn about that game sadly it seems.
Sucks too since Aeron could easily fill the Simon Belmont slot move wise with his chain whip. Aside from that this song would be AMAZING to play a match to.

Hell honestly if we got any character from Xenoblade, Last Story, or Pandora's Tower it would be amazing. Those are about the only characters off the top of my head that I can accept to main if snake doesn't make it in again.

I brought pandora's tower and loved it, it has a good chance like the last story and xenoblade, it will atleast be a level, assist trophy, or have an item from it be in the game, and a trophy collectable.
 
I just caught up on things in this thread.

Why did I catch up on things in this thread?

I will never get the harsh criticism this game gets in pre-release materials though. The way certain things get talked about so adamantly, you'd think we were all playing the game already. The model discussion was "whoa" and if I have to be honest, I never really got what was so wrong with Link beyond not having a more Skyward Sword like appearance. (Best Link)
