Talk:Ridley: Difference between revisions

===DRAGON???===

How is Ridley a dragon? He looks more like an Aerodactyl gone bad. Oh, and dragons don't get reincarnated as robots. Georgedrake Z

I fail to see how Ridley looking somewhat similar to an Aerodactyl does not make him a dragon. Also, after he was beaten, Ridley was rebuilt with cybernetics, not reincarnated. -- [[User:Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]] 01:22, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

'''Proposer''': {{User|Phoenix}}<br>

#{{User|Phoenix}} Per my proposal.

#{{User|Arend}} Else articles like [[Midbus]] and [[Blizzard Midbus]] aren't split, right?

#{{User|Pokémon Trainer Mario}} Per Phoenix

#{{User|Cobold}} - Per Marioguy1.

#{{User|Zero777}} I am Zero! I get what you're saying but those monsters are separate creatures, not the same. Meta Ridley is a medically, biologically, advanced creature with cybernetics version of Ridley, they're not separate creatures, and currently we are merging a lot of alter egos together, but overall I think we should leave that for the Metroid Wiki. Zero signing out.

#{{User|SWFlash}} Let's split Behemoth King from [[Behemoth]] as well then? Per Zero.

#{{User|Walkazo}} - Per all. I'd like to see those other "forms" merged with the main articles anyway. Let Metroid Wiki focus on the many facets of Ridley: that's their job, whereas our coverage of his role in ''SSBB'' in both his forms is perfectly fine with this one article.

#{{User|Mario4Ever}} Per Walkazo.

#{{User|MrConcreteDonkey}} - This is the Mario Wiki. Ridley is not part of the ''Mario'' series, only being in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. His attacks, unlike [[Fire Gobblegut]] and [[Blizzard Midbus]], are not notable, nor named, and are very alike, both to his other attacks as Meta Ridley and his attacks as regular Ridley. There isn't too much physical difference, and his style of fighting hasn't changed much; just the battleground.

#{{User|Knife}} - Per all. I feel that our coverage is fine with this article.

#{{User|Rise Up Above It}} Yeah, there's not a notable difference or reason for splitting them, other than one is a more cybernetic/mechanised version. Per all.

#{{User|Bowser's luma}} Unlike Bowser and Giga Bowser, there is no distinct diffrence.

#{{User|Gamefreak75}} Save it for the Metroid Wiki. Per all.

#{{User|LeftyGreenMario}} Meta Ridley is mere a palette swap of Ridley other than a few "better" attacks and more vitality.

#{{User|Yoshiwaker}} Per Gamefreak, also, Smash Bros. isn't a fully Mario game.

#{{User|Edofenrir}} - Per Walkazo, Knife, and Gamefreak75.

#{{User|Twentytwofiftyseven}} - Per all.

#{{User|Turboo}} - per all

M&SG, you're the ones that merged those articles together without anyone discussing anything. Shouldn't you have said something before merging them? And now I'm straying from the topic. --[[User:Reversinator|Reversinator]] 15:49, 19 February 2011 (EST)

:Maybe I should've proposed about that, but I never did a proposal before.  I just don't like the idea of seeing articles that appear to be stubbed. {{User|M&SG}} 17:55, 19 February 2011 (EST)

#The second thing I want to say is that "and in [sic] fought with a timer. That is the only difference between them." is not a valid point either, considering the gist of that is "their boss battles are totally different. That is the only difference between them." - that is also the only difference between Meta Ridley and (e.g.) Duon (other than the aforementioned matter of changing appearance).

#Thirdly "they are separate bosses in the Metroid series, but not really within the Brawl series." - trust me, they are separate bosses in the Brawl series, I've played Brawl enough times to know that.

Now you see why I have no idea why this proposal has tied twice. {{User:Marioguy1/sig|Do I sound angry to anyone else?}}

:I also think if they are split, we need to link to the Metroid wiki page (this is something a lot of Brawl pages need) because someone looking here(just for the sake of argument) who owns Brawl might be confused about the Ridley/Meta Ridley differences, and the Metroid wiki page would explain it all. {{User:Bop1996/sig}}

::Bop: In Brawl, Ridley and Meta Ridley both have very small appearances (they appear in two boss battles each in story mode, that's all) but the appearances are definitely not similar, other than some of the attacks that they use. So yes, they are as different from eachother as they are to any other boss. And if you're doing something because admins are doing it, I'd just like to remind you that admins are all human and therefore make mistakes. It's up to your judgment whether they are or aren't; you must make decisions for yourself (not because someone else is doing it). I promise you, if there is ever a proposal that the admins feel is needed to be opposed drastically, we will take care of it. But on proposals like this, we are just making votes based on our best judgment. {{User|Marioguy1}}
