- More Metroid characters in smash means more references made to the game in the series, so lets look at all the callback made by its newcomers and any other trivia we can find in Smash Ultimate.
Also Elma for smash DLC please Sakurai!

Fun fact: Ridley has appeared in every Smash game in a different role.
He was a sprite in the background of Planet Zebes in Smash 64, he was prominently featured in Melee’s opening, he was a boss twice in Brawl, he was a stage hazard in Smash 4, and he finally became a playable character in Smash Ultimate.
That is cool
After all, HE REFUSES DO DIE ( until super metroid )
*next time on Avengers*
“Captain America, we need your help!”
Ridley: “SKRREEEEEEEEEEEE”
ChaosMyth1012 *Cue Neo Ridley screech from Metroid Fusion*
Probably the two most evil characters in the game
Down B Thanos then charge side smash with final smash and use final smash when Thanos is in the air.

The enemies will run away because if the earrape.
They had to replace Cap after he went into the past to be with Peggy
I'd say Samus's fight against King K. Rool is actually a reference to the fake Kraid you can come across, considering that the very next battle has real Kraid in the background.
But then again, I could just be wrong about that.
Cool interpretation
Oh yeah
Probably should also mention that Dark Samus is the first American created fighter in Smash.
Rareware is based in the UK while Retro Studios is based in Texas.
So technically Dark Samus should be Captain America.
Nah...Ridley is Captain America but, Dark Samus is Captain Marvel.....
Great, now I can see all the memes with Ridey, the space pirates and Dark Samus being the Avengers. Yay.
Captain America is from Brooklyn
Elma
Elma
Elma
Elma
We need her on Smash!!!!!!!
The black suit is a reference to the dark suit and the white suit is a reference to the light suit in Metroid Prime 2 echoes
Now, I'll listen to the Captain America Theme when I play with Ridley
Which one?
@@harlannguyen4048 This one: th-cam.com/video/cVU4HURKEXs/w-d-xo.html I think?
"Space Pirates, assemble!"
Crocomire is Thanos obviously.
@@RemLasher77 **Ahem** THIS is Cap's _real and true_ theme: th-cam.com/video/dCiifu6dV2s/w-d-xo.html
I would laugh hard if the last dlc character is crocomire instead of elma
If it was Crocomire I’d pay for the DLC
Yay squad reunite
SSJ3MetaridleyXros yo I’d be down lol
Sure I’d pay for Crocomire I think it’s underappreciated.

@@ceceliaacaba2739 Man, Joker's DLC stole my heart from the instant his reveal trailer dropped.
I wish they made Mother Brain a boss as well as an assist trophy like Rathalos, then Samus could fight them for the boss instead of Master Hand
Exactly. It Could've played out like super metroid
Mother Brain's second form would be an amazing boss
Would be even better if you could use the murder beam
RGBGamer Spacetime beam lmao reset the game
@@harrisontashjian752 PEW PEW PEW BEAM!!!
Elma for Metroid Prime 4
Skewer is probably based specifically on how he killed Grey Voice
And partly based on how that Xenomorph killed what'shisface in Alien.
Or literally just his announcement trailer in which he used that move and killed Megaman (I would also say Mario but the plumber can stay over at Sal's place and f**k himself)
@@ollieguy6781 oh right. didnt consider that one. excuse me
1:18 The Chad Dark Samus
I hope I'm not the only one who was disappointed that Dark Samus was an echo fighter.
She could have easily had her own moveset. The assist trophy in Smash 4 was more faithful to her than in Ultimate.
Here's some ideas:
Down Special: The phazon spires erupt around her
Down Smash: She splits in two and fires a beam in both directions
Final Smash: Have the Metroid Prime come out of her suit, or attack with the aurora unit, or just crash a Phazon Meteor into the stage
Alts: Have 4 be the Ultimate model, then the other 4 be inspired off her Prime 2 look.
Indeed... she should have been another character with own movesets and maybe put Sa-X as echo fighter, would have been more fitting.
Since Dark samus powers are Far different and more fun.
Ooh, now the SA-X sounds cool, it could be a Samus that's slower, but does way more damage, kind of like Dr. Mario.
The final smash could have it turn into the Hornoad-Samus Mutation thing
She wouldn’t have been in the game if she wasn’t an echo.
Then I'd rather her not be in the game at all if she isn't faithful to her character.
Most people were a little disappointed, but there's no use complaining. She'll probably get more unique in the next smash game, as most clones do.
"can't wait to play as captain America!"
"wait they added him in smash!?!"
Yeah is best attack is is tail whip"
"tail?"
"yeah! Is tail! Ridleys tail"
"who the heck calls ridley" captain America " huh?"
Retro is based in America
I like how they didn't ask who calls Captain America Ridley...
Really feel like Dark Samus could've been her own fighter given how vastly different her moves are from Samus. She's only an echo fighter because she looks like Samus.
Same deal with Daisy.
Her animations are different, but their actual frame data, hitboxes, damage, etc. are basically identical. Only practical difference is that Dark Samus's up smash hits lower on the initial hit so it can hit shorter targets than Samus's can. Imo Ken is the most distinct echo fighter, followed by Chrom.
Well yeah, same with all echoes. But unfortunately no way they would put development and resources into a character who was in 2 games from 10+ years ago. Plus the character's story is completed and prob has no plans to return.
@@generalforster Dark Samus's missiles and Charge Shot also fire lower than Samus's. While the missiles don't hit any known targets that Samus's doesn't, Charge Shot does. For example, it can hit a crouching Pichu with no charge.
@@generalforster Isn't her side dodge faster than Samus's? Basically makes the original Samus unplayable, compared to Dark Samus
I heard that Ridley being called Captain America in Japan was almost totally untrue
Where did you hear that?
Zero Suit fights WIRE frame Little Mac, get it? WIRES, Whips and Claw(shots)
I'm always amazed at the number of musics from Megaman.exe and Starforce you are using in your videos Orpheon. And you always make it so they are barely noticeable, so I only recognize them because I know them so well.
out of the two meta ridley skins
one is clearly Mecha Ridley
but the first one has so many skin colored parts of his body not implanted like his arms legs and forehead , it more resembles Proteus Ridley than Prime 1 Meta Ridley
But the shape and design is obviously leaning more towards Prime 1 Meta Ridley , but in Prime 1 he was 100% metal textured like the Mecha Ridley skin rather than the more Proteus Ridley looking skin , am i seeing this?
Thicc Boss I see what you're saying. It's Meta Ridley though. It might be hard to compare to Metroid Prime one, since the colors kind of blend together with the game's pallet. It's better to look at the Brawl version of Meta Ridley.
I think he actually looks most like Omega Ridely from the beginning of Prime 3 who has more flesh (albiet blueish instead of purple, likely due to phazon). Also Proteus Ridley has alot more flesh than Sma5h Meta Ridley.
Indeed Proteus has way more skin than this Smash skin , but to me it's the closest it'll ever be to Proteus either way.
btw Prime 3's two Omega Ridleys are also a valid interpretation
Proteus Ridley has a lot more flesh, more yellow highlights, one completely metal hand, the legs are almost all metal too
Thicc Boss
I could see the argument somewhat being made if you're considering Proteus Ridley's concept art. However there are still many design choices that more evidently point to Meta Ridley from Prime than there are for Proteus Ridley. Namely the chest region, arms/legs, head (excluding Proteus Ridley's art), and wings.
Meta Ridley has a completely metal chest, that covers/protects some internal organs. Proteus Ridley does not have this.
Meta Ridley's limbs are completely symmetrical, mostly mechanical, but still shows some of the original body. Proteus Ridley's limbs are asymmetrical, with one arm and one leg being entirely mechanical.
Meta Ridley's head has a mechanical jaw, though the top of his head is still intact (though it's hard to tell in Prime, as they made most of Ridley's organic parts shiny). Whilst Proteus Ridley's head is mostly intact, though the concept art does have a metal jaw reinforcement.
Meta Ridley's wings have a strange yellow/orange glowing cyber mesh for webbing. Proteus Ridley wings have a more natural/fleshy looking webbing.
Dark Samus' purple with hues of pink alt imo is a reference to the evil Samus clones you fight in Brawl's Subspace Emissary. They had the gravity suit with a pink highlight for the visor IIRC.
I thought they were brown...
Guess I gotta replay it now to check (really just looking for any excuse to replay that game)
Aww, they didn't put Dark Samus' theme in the game. That sucks...
I can't get over the mindset you put me in when you use Megaman Battle Network and Custom Robo music for relaxation. Love it.
I'm maining Ridley right now and he's SO FUN!
Hehe.
Took you long enough...
Indeed I love his edge game and off stage play
I'm trying to learn him but he is hard af to play due to lackluster recovery.
@@MrCharly780 he actually has a pretty good recovery with 2 mid air jumps side b and up b
I like how Dark Samus moves, she's in stark contrast with Samus who has stiff and ridged pasture in her movements like a soldier, but dark Samus never moves limbs that aren't necessary for the attack, almost like it's in pain or possessed
13:35 But is Dark Samus really a female?
She has always been considered female, both within her origins in the Prime games, and within Smash Bros. She has Samus' DNA within her, and even the space pirates she brainwashed and was ordering around were referring to her as 'she'.
@@vipeurmiste512 Great, thak you for your answer. I'm playing the Prime Trilogy right now but I still have to finish the first game, so I didn't know these details
Yes. Look up her logbook entries in Prime 2 and Prime 3, and you will see that they will refer Dark Samus as a she. This is due to Metroid Prime being an "it", but the moment it stole Samus' DNA, it became a clone of her, which is why Dark Samus is referred to as a female.
I think the SA-X is the non-female one
You could argue that even metroid prime was a female to begin with since there is a chance for it to have the genes to be a queen metroid, hence female.
The meta Ridley skin could also be a reference to Proteus Ridley from Samus Returns due to the detailing on the chest plate being so similar.
How is Proteus Ridley different from Meta Ridley?
Wendy O. Koopa is the first playable female, though Dark Samus is the first that isn't a alt. costume
He said (Unless you count Wendy) in text right as he said that. Which she doesn't. She's just a minion, really.
@@ebutuoytikcus4352 Still a character.
@@Nosretep He said first Playable Female VILLAIN. First playable Female was Samus.
@@ebutuoytikcus4352 Um...no duh.
@@Nosretep Then why are you commenting?
I hear some of that Custom Robo music in the background 👌
@6:50 - this move, Skewer, is a reference to the third time you encounter Ridley directly in Metroid: Other M when he's no longer in his infant state. He pins down Samus and repeatedly tries to skewer her while you frantically fire missiles at his tail to get him off of you.
Anthony finally hits him with a plasma cannon blast, which causes him to get off of Samus and smash through the wall into sector 3.
Another reference in the Dark Samus face zoom win animation: There's a pair of glowing, orange eyes over her visor during the full zoom in, possibly as a call back to Metroid Prime's Essence that is essentially proto-Dark Samus.
Or again the eyes of the SA-X
Every time I watch one of your videos and hear the Custom Robo music it makes me so happy.
I knew you'd make a video like this one. Great job!
The K. Rool fight in Samus's classic mode seems to be going a step further in that it's referencing FAKE Kraid, since the next level after that takes place on the normal Brinstar Depths, where you can find Kraid messing with the stage.
Your music choices always make me feel nostalgia. (Custom Robo, Megaman Battle Network, Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Strikers, etc.)
Great video! Also didn't expect any Custom Robo music to play!
Love me some Custom Robo
I remember for a long time people felt betrayed by Sakurai for teasing Ridley as a playable character the way he was presented, but he was really only a stage hazard. I think that's what got everyone riled up to want Ridley as a playable character
As amazing as being able to play as Ridley and Dark Samus in Smash is, there was a serious missed opportunity with Dark Samus, to give her a unique moveset based on her attacks in Echoes and Corruption.
It’s nice to learn more about the Metroid Characters in Smash Ultimate! Also they are the only characters I play with the Exception of Mewtwo. Quick question Orpheon do you think that Nintendo will remaster the Prime Trilogy with the release of Prime 4 on Switch?
Cecelia Acaba The prime trilogy on switch rumor has been confirmed to be true. Go check that out. It even got its own cover art out.
But I already bought Prime, Echoes, and Corruption individually!
I hear there is talk of Super Metroid being remade for the Switch too. And potentially a Metroid film but don't know about that...Hmmm interesting though.
Ridley introduced me to my favorite game and franchise when he made it in
I mean the silver and red color scheme could be Ultron from marvel
I’m surprised you didn’t bring up Kraid’s Dojo over in World of Light. That place is legitimately the best Dojo in the game and Kraid’s dialogue always makes my day.
Saving it for a spirits video
I can't unsee Ridley as Captain America now. That's hysterical.
Revolver Ocelot for DLC
Liquid?
@@shinysamurott613 I wouldn't say Liquid would be as unique as Ocelot, seeing as you fight him 3 times in the series (2 of which are in large machines). Liquid would be a good echo fighter for snake though
@@yorbasfett Ah I see.
Psycho Mantis?
@@galactic1555 Mantis doesn't actually fight that much in MGS1, all he really does is throw stuff at you and take control of Meryl
this new episode of know your move look amazing
Samus' black & yellow alt color could also be from the demolition troopers from the escort mission in the pirate homeworld from Metroid Prime 3
3:06 Is that Custom Robo music because if it is, I really just want to say that Ray 01 has to be playable in Smash Bros Ultimate!!!
I think Meta-Ridley should have been an echo fighter.
I'm happy Dark Samus and Ridley are in Smash, but I am surprised they never put Dark Samus's Blue translucent, Phazon Supercharged, Final Boss of MP2 skin in the game, the 3 eyes and metroid tentacles inside the armor look terrifying and menacing. Also I recognized the Custom Robo game music in the middle of the Video, nice.
Reggie said only characters from series not yet represented will get in as DLC
That is clearly not the case, since Piranha plant is a DLC character and Super Mario Brothers has representantion in smash
Alexei plant is not part of the 5 dlc
He is an extra
And also said that the MP4 development was going well
it was probably going well when he was talking about it. From the few unsourced stories we have it seems like the devlopment was split between so many studios that they didn't notice a few were on fire until too late.
@@alexei985
Plant don't count fool
"The red color it could be our favorite space pirate, Crogmire"
Crogmire: YAY!
J U S T I N T I M E 3:34
I really love that Ridley art on the thumbnail
Oh yeah baby, new video and it's about Smash
13:16
Samus after Metroid Dread:hehehe about that...
Customrobo, keep up the good quality work!
That makes Ridley's tail the TRUE America's ass
Ridley up taunt symbolizes him standing up like in super metroid
@The Orpheon I think the yellow and blue dark samus alternate costume is a reference to trace’s yellow alternate costume from metroid prime hunters. Its actually surprisingly similar!
@The Orpheon the red and orange dark samus alternate costume could also be a reference to Weavel’s red alternate costume in hunters as well!
Amazing video hyped for prime 4
That Captain America bit is so damn funny. The fanart is amazing.
This is such a wholesome channel. How is it so small?
Well sadly not everyone who watches subs, but I just want to make ppl happy
Samus and Dark Samus's black alt might just be the Phazon Suit.
the gray armor looks like Aurora 313 imo
And I think Meta Ridley in smash is actually inspired by both Prime AND Samus Returns (the armor of Proteus Ridley and the wings of Meta Ridley)
IMO a better classic mode for Zero Suit Samus would have been one where she fights other characters whose games have stealth as a major element, or least certain sections involving stealth. So obviously Snake, but also Young Link, Pit (staying out of the Reaper's line of sight), maybe Inkling, etc.
06:49 his down special could also be that one Scene from Aliens where the Xeno Queen killed that cyborg in the final fight
I have never played Metroid Prime but I was excited to see Dark Samus get in. Also Dark Samus’ second victory then that you covered is just to be anime. XD
Something I always wondered about was why wasn't Dark Samus attacks from when she was an assist trophy repurposed and tweaked for Ultimate? The programming for the attacks and animations to function properly were already there and they could've updated the model to reflect the design she was given for Ultimate.
3:34 I cried a little on the inside when this happened. Also I love that voice line
Love that sweet, sweet custom robo music.
The colors are the colors of regular Samus beam cannons through the 3 games.
Entirely random and unrelated, but...
I like the Custom Robo music in the background. That game was my childhood lol
YES YES YEEES! You REALLY know what this game needs! Elma needs to be a DLC, badass character from arguably my favorite RPG game, which was ironically released in a failure of a console... hopefully they port it or release a sequel.
I wish Dark Samus had a costume with the metroid prime 2 design of her, with the holes in the shoulder parts and the different arm canon and such
apparently too they added the theme “Hunters” From Metroid Prime 2’s multiplayer mode
The bleu won can also be a reference to the subspace emasary
All the art of Zero Suit Samus in this video is really cute.
I appreciate the Mega Man and Custom Robo BGM tracks.
The irony of an echo fighter having so much depth to her is amazing
I think dark samus armor with those purple lights is a reference of how the gravity suit is showed in other m
Hi, can we talk about how there are metroids on the top floor of the wrecked ship in Super Metroid? I couldn’t find anything about this online and it surprised me when I noticed it about 10 minutes ago.
I really like your videos 😊
Dark Samus is the first character that was an alternate color and also an assist trophy.
8:52 Should have had neo Ridley's sound effects
So satisfying
12:27 Or maybe because he's a pirate, and that's his _job._
Glad I'm not the only one who realized that Dark Samus is technically a metroid.
Love the Custom Robo ost.
I would name Ridley's route cunning god of death
When I got my Samus amiibo when they came out, I named it "SA-X". I never expected to have Dark Samus in Super Smash Bros someday, and it's exciting to see SA-X and Dark Samus face-to-face xD
Now Raven Beak would be a perfect addition
The E.M.M.I. would be cool too
Thanks for another great video! Dank Samus is awesome and I also agree they should have had her theme instead of federation force...
This gentleman can't make a smash video without praying to sakurai to put Elma in the game
I do that every night too
Sakurai pls
Mario Strikers Charged the classroom theme loved it
Nintendo why u no make sequel
@@TheOrpheon why they no make sequel
custom robo music in the background, nice.
I wonder if we'll ever get a new Custom Robo game.
I'd probably subscribe just for playlists of the music choices
My head cannon for the red alternate color for Ridley is crocomire.
me: *is doing a blind playthrough of metroid fusion, but doesn't mind a few spoilers*
*learns Ridley's coming up*
me: well fuck ima die
Ridley's side B is a pretty neat tool.
in my opinion, the purple blue skin that dark samus has is more of a reference to the final battle with dark samus in echoes. the one when she had her skeleton and such exposed
is that Custom Robo music I hear?????? Criminally CRIMINALLY underrated game
Nice use of Custom Robo BR music!
One line I just made up was "Welcome to the Boston Streets MotherFucker" when seeing the Captain America.
7:27 I recognize that music anywhere it’s the select screen music from Custom Robo my fav GC game!❌🧢
Hahaha, Metroid Prime Echoes... good one...
