Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS Thread 2: Where Pilotwings is apparently Minecraft

Don't expect Ridley as a playable character.
Why not? It seems pretty obvious that he is. I know Sakurai likes to tease, but I really don't think he would tease this stage with this many times while teasing stage hazard Ridley this many times if Ridley was a stage hazard. It seems beyond cruel and evil for Ridley fans if Ridley really isn't playable.

Guess we'll see though. Don't really care one way or another but it would definitly be a different kind of character to play as.
 
Sakurai already implied Ridley would be a stage hazard in Pyrosphere.

"Pic of the day. Out of the blue, here's a new stage--the Pyrosphere from Metroid: Other M! An enemy from Samus's past may appear at any second…"

LMAO
 
Fox's reflector looks like the GameCube logo. Also Sakurai is an Arcade Fire fan confirmed?

It kinda does, but it's based on the silver rings you collect in Star Fox 64 to increase your ship's health.

Today's picture is neat in that it's very plain at face value but then you read Sakurai's comments about buffing Samus and realize that Samus' Charge Shot is moving left in the picture while she's still recovering from shooting it... I'm curious to see exactly how fast the thing goes now!

Ridley is one of the characters I want the most, but at this point I've begrudgingly accepted that there's no chance.
 
Fi: Master, I detect a 0.05% chance of Ridley being in Smash 4.

Link: HURRYYYAAAHHH! *cough cough* so you're saying there's a chance?

No, it would be more like;

Fi: Master, are you aware that Mario has been announced for Super Smash. Bros? Mario is famous for Super Mario Bros, a game released in 1985. Since then, he's been in many good games.

I hope the stage hazard is actually Sakamoto running out and writing everyone to death
 
Even if Ridley is a stage hazard, people won't give up, they'll just claim that's the Other M version of Ridley, and there's several other Ridley incarnations that could show up...

To be fair, Other M Ridley and the Ridley everyone else is thinking of are literally different characters.

Also, duck bills are fucking ugly.
 
So this is our 2nd pic of the day regarding balances and buffs. I'd love 1 of these each week. Sakurai telling us that Samus' charge shot is vastly improved in Speed and Power as Namco written all over it. I mean what was Sakurai thinking in Brawl? That Charge shot could not kill worth beans, it was really sad. Not to mention she barely had any kill moves to begin with. I'm glad Samus is getting some positive and obvious changes.

I wonder if the Charge Shot being fired at Villager is an indication of it's current speed. I didn't think about it much during E3.

Now for some inevitable Ridley talk. 60% of me say's Ridley is a stage hazard, but the other 40% questions why Sakurai is teasing this stage and it's holes like this for so long? I mean if he is going to be a stage hazard then it's going to be of epic proportions. I feel like he is hyping something he normally wouldn't. Oh and he is certainly aware of all the Ridley love and debate. He said he and his team read all of the comments and I'm sure aside from general mods people are gauging responses and reactions from the users who have already bought the system. Sakurai is deliberately trolling and I think he's going to pull a fast one on us.

An enemy from Samus's past can appear at any moment? Hopefully after we play on that stage 20 times playable Ridley does appear.
 
What if the stage hazard is actually Adam who removes most if not all of your attacks?

"You are not authorized to use the Final Smash." *smash ball comes out of the player and floats away*

"You are not authorized to use that Hammer." *hammer's head fall out of the stick*

"You are not authorized to use your Pokemon." *Pokemon Trainer has to fight on his own*

Samus is much faster and more acrobatic in Other M, so I would bet that's another big reason for the change. I wouldn't be surprised if Samus is much faster overall.

We've created a monster.
 
Good to see Sakurai has wisened up about the Charge Shot. That was one of the most baffling balance changes in Brawl (in a sea of baffling balance changes).
 
Guys, it's a lava stage. That obviously means the enemy from Samus's past is
Crocomire
.

Also, we're still milking this for all it's worth?
 
Smash Bros For Steam OS confirmed

Every stage will be based on PC versions of each Nintendo franchise such as Half Life!! Can't wait to see City 17 and Ravenholm!!!!!!
 
"The speed and power of Samus's Charge Shot has been drastically improved. However, that could potentially put her in danger on occasion."

Reading stuff like this makes me so happy. The positive changes that they're making to existing characters like this and Bowser makes me think I'll be playing this game for a long time after it releases.

You are not authorized to use Special Attacks. *nobody can use B-button attacks for a limited amount of time*

You are not allowed to charge Smash Attacks. *A-button attacks cannot be charged for a limited amount of time*

Oh, & instead of an stage hazard, he's an assist trophy.
 
I kinda wish they would just let Samus charge her shot without having to stop and be vulnerable as fuck. Does she ever charge like that in any Metroid game? I'd change it so you just hold B and when it's charged she starts glowing, kinda like Zero in Marvel 3.
