I'm not too hopeful for Ridley, given the comment accompanying the screenshot of the Other M stage on Miiverse. I guess if we're lucky the "old foe" of Samus's will be Fiery Jeff.

Clone Ridley and regular Ridley would look different enough to have the former as a stage hazard; although that comment was ambiguous enough to refer to future revealed assist trophies and characters as well.

True.

I do think it might be a stage hazard implication. Hmm.

If that Palutena leak is real, does that mean Medusa won't be a playable character?

Not saying that Medusa wouldn't make the cut per se... but she doesn't have a ton of moves, not even in Kid Icarus: Uprising. Heck, Pandora (remember her? Third boss in the original Kid Icarus?) would have more to cull from regarding attacks than her. Same with Phosphora, Thanatos, Magnus, or even Dark Lord Gaol. For that matter, almost all of those (sorry, Gaol) contributed more to the plot of Uprising than Medusa did. Not saying that they wouldn't just create a moveset out of whole cloth, of course - Captain Falcon is proof that they would. Just I think it'd be much easier to adapt one of the other major players from Uprising instead of Medusa.

As for Viridi looming in that screen shot... doing codecs similar to Snake and Fox does sound realistic (given that she'd have particular dialogue for what weapon class you brought into stage in her first appearance, plus a few stage-specific actions... not to mention that she prompted the classic quote "Floor ice cream gives me health!"). That said, especially since we're talking about the Reset Bomb stage (where she was the overall looming threat), I bet she'll act similar to Palkia and Dialga on Spear Pillar and periodically summon mooks to function as stage hazards. Her love of Bumpity Bombsknows no bounds, and she certainly has no issues with dropping more enemies into areas.

Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.

Medusa is a powerful sorceress and we have fought her in the past. I'm sure they can fill in whatever blanks are present.

She uses enough moves during her boss battle to make a feasible moveset.

I wonder if I'm the only one who's played Uprising yet couldn't recognize that it was Viridi in the background of today's picture. I mean, she doesn't look much like her artwork there...

I recognized the background as being from the Reset Bomb forest, but I haven't played Uprising (yet) so I only know it's Viridi from the Miiverse comments.

Most of whom are also talking about the Palutena leak(?).

People can't tell that's her? It looks like they ripped the hologram model right out of Uprising.

Are people still taking those Palutena screenshots seriously? I thought that it was well established that those were just "what if" shops someone made.

Appearently not. No one on GAF was able to find any sort of evidence against or towards it truth.

Man, on these days where nearly every person that could get access to this kind of stuff carries a videocamera on their person at all times, why should we even begin to trust these "one or two unfocused pictures" kind of leaks?

I thought it was a pretty good quality photo. Though yes, probably fake.

Yeah, the thing I always wonder about leaks like this, is if they were actually put up by someone with inside information on the game, why would we just get a couple of pictures without context, and why does no one seem to know where they originated?

The leaks looked off to me. Maybe it was because they were low quality 3DS pics, but Palutena didn't look right in them. I think she's likely, more likely than Medusa, but those pics don't convince me, even if they are real.

I saw someone on Miiverse sum today up best:

Kinda funny when you think about it.[lol]

So, since Midna is still posting here, what would be a hypothetical Lip moveset? Any assist/sticker/whatever ideas from the Furil sequel?

Okay, I might get pelted for this / thrown in a volcano / be eaten alive by Yog-Sothoth / Gannonbanned, but here it goes.

I want to see Ridley.

As a stage hazard.

And as an assist trophy.

And as an adventure mode boss.

And as a playable character.

I mean, seriously, think about it. Why pick one option for Ridley when you can just pick ALL options? I mean, have Meta-Ridley be an assist trophy, have Other M Ridley be a stage hazard and have Melee intro sequence Ridley be playable. Maybe also throw in Neo-Ridley, the X-parasite Ridley clone. Oh, and also have Ridley be a regular trophy, sticker, trading card, the Final Smash for everyone as well as an alt costume for everyone. Oh, and a stage where you ride on top of Ridley while being attacked by Ridley, with as a stage hazard Ridley.

Signatures are for lamers.
