Why do you think Samus let Ridley Go?

Postby KingBroly » 09.11.11 7:50pm

"OH NOES, IT R KINGBROLY THRED! I MUST SPAM IT WITH H8 4 IT R DEVIL! GRR!!!!!!!!!!'

It's a simple question I think.

I'm going to have to go with Warrior's Pride/Honor here myself. Without Anthony's help, she'd have lost. She basically saw no honor in killing Ridley when she won unfairly, when in previous fights she won without the need of aid (Power Suit excluded of course).
Even the strongest of people can have their faith broken. Mine has.

Because he had to appear in Fusion, therefore Samus had to made the bad decision of letting him live to be later captured and frozen. I really don't think there is any canon reason for this decision actually, I can think of a few reasons, but they feel like excuses to me. This also works in favor of moving the "Adam plot" further.

Because Samus thought Ridley was dead, and when he was not, she tried to attack him again, but he escaped.

Naïveté, pure and simple. Just like with the rescuing of the baby Metroid back on SR388. Sams didn't grow and learn to know better until the events of, well, Other M and later on in Fusion. She also forgot that you are always supposed to "double tap" an enemy that is down for good measure.

There really was nothing subtle about that scene in any way, even Anthony knew that...

Yeah, I thought Samus turned her back because she thought Ridley was dead.

But nope he wasn't, and before Samus could do anything the mofo flew through a STEEL WALL to get the HELL away from Samus.


I mean, he may have scared her suitless, but I'll be damned if Samus didn't make Ridley feel the same fucking way IN SPADES during that fight.

I don't mind, since you know, it's the internet- and it's more of Ino being obsessed with making as many posts as possible without checking to see of those posts have anything of value in them (hint: not as of late!).

You're encouraging him, making you incorrigible. :geemer:

Thats not the cause at all. Most, if not all(probably not. XD) of my posts have atleast some content, and very little regards to spam. :P

Seriously though, I don't get that. and we aren't picking on you. Me and Dryn.....Hmmm.....

Don't forget Screw Attack, as an add-on to Space Jump it should be added to that sentence. :P

Samus did NOT let him go, he got away! :ridley: And the one in Fusion was just a member of his species that was frozen as a specimen. :r-b:

Maybe the ridley-banned smiley means that post was in jest, but no, the Ridley on the Bottle ship is the Ridley you find on BSL. I don't think they'd go out of there way to remove his corpse if that wasn't the point they were trying to make.
