...then who was flickering the lights on and off?

>>253046919
What about Ridley in Super Metroid?
What do you know, he is big as shit.
>>253047238
And Zero Mission? Oh look, Ridley is huge.
No one wants Kraid for some weird reason.
>>253047238
Let's go on to Metroid Fusion, what do you know? Ridley is big as shit.
>>253046919
thats right all you non-believers, Ridley is confirmed and theres NOTHING you can do about it.
>>253047420
So, did the Parasite X kill Ridley once and for all?
>>253047420
Let's go on to Zero Mission, behold, Ridley is big as shit.
>>253047589
I think it's safe to assume Ridley is dead for good in Fusion.
>>253047594
Even mecha Ridley is big as shit.
How can he fly with those tiny ass wings?
>>253047805
>had to jump slightly to hit his weak point.
That was annoying
Explain this OP.
Yes he was bigger in Brawl.
But you can't tell me if you made him a bit taller than in this pic he wouldn't be a fine addition and represent Ridley just fine.
Why don't they add that furry bunny Ridley from Other M to Smash?
too big
>>253047805
Oh look, Ridley in Metroid Prime was big as shit.
>>253048395
Metroid Prime 3, he was big enough for Samus to fit in his mouth.
>>253048571
Metroid other M, Ridley is big enough to easily Grab samus.

>>253048727
But Metroid Other M's Ridley was fucking pants on head retarded.
Why does Ridley keep coming back while Kraid doesn't?
Why don't people want Kraid in smash instead of Ridley?
>>253047589
Ridley died during Super, the X is using the corpse of his clone from MOM.
>size matters in shash
Its like you never played the game.
>>253049231
Even Phantoon is more relevant than Kraid.
>>253048727
>quoting youtube celebs
lel
>>253048123
That's not even an actual model, that's just 3 seconds of an intro, but I'll give you that, now you have the Metroid 1 size and the Melee opening vs all the other Metroid games that are more than 2 where Ridley is big as fuck.
>>253047390
Because Ridley has appeared in more games and is more of the main villain. Everyone would be fine with Kraid.Crocomire would be best anyway.
>>253049595
He looks pretty huge in that picture.
>>253047589

You know Olimar is a couple centimeters tall in Pikmin.

No, Ridley died on that tanker 7 years ago.
>>253050187
Because...he looks weird like that.
>>253050249
I think scaling plays a much larger part than actual size. Bowser and Olimar are easily scalable while Ridley is much harder.
>>253050228
>literally proving that aside from one exception Ridley has been universally too big to fight on equal ground as a Smash character
FTFY
How do you even manage to be this fucktarded?
>>253050249
T-THAT DOESN'T COUNT!
>>253050261
But they could just clone a new one like they always do with Ridley.
>>253050416
Do you even know how big bowser is?
Why people even want Ridley in the game?
He would be unplayable if you want to keep his moveset loyal to its series and scaling him down is stupid since the infame of the Metroid bosses are being big and threatening
The worst part, PEOPLE STILL HAVE HOPES FOR HIM TO BE IN DESPITE HE WAS FUCKING DECONFIRMED IN THE PRE-E3 SMASH DIRECT
>>253049542
>>253050187
Because that doesn't work for Smash AT ALL. They already had to retool Bowser for him to even be playable since that was his gimmick for 2 games.
>>253050261
The whole thing STANK
>>253050416

I'm not even a Ridleyfag. This "2big" meme is just embarrassing at this point
>Inches taller
Look at how Ridley is hunched over in the original Metroid as well, OP.
>>253050539
Bowser's entire fucking thing is that he can change size in canon, he does it all the fucking time with magic. He's also a very easy model to scale, and has several more appearances than Ridley does where he's closer to Mario's height.
Fucking Ridleyfag "logic", ignore all common sense and spout bullshit to look smart when really you're just shooting yourself in the foot and showing that you don't know jack shit.
>>253050578
Bowser wasn't even that big. And Sakurai could easily make it work. He's Sakurai.
Fuck, they could make him as tall as Bowser and it'd still work.
Bowser's size has been all over the place throughout the Mario series, yet when it comes to Ridley he's TOO BIG.
Why? What makes Ridley special?
>>253050705
I don't see Kraid being a final boss in any Metroid game.
>>253050756
>and has several more appearances than Ridley does where he's closer to Mario's height.
Go on.
>>253050595
Olimar is tiny in comparison to WHAT. As far as we know
>>253050663
is correct. The point is Olimar's scale in comparison to other Smash characters was never nailed down before Smash started and he's an incredibly simple model to scale up or down.
I think you fags are also forgetting that everyone in smash are statuettes that come to life.
How many times has Ridley died?
WHY WONT HE STAY DEAD
>>253050729
Ridley can't change size as a power of him, Bowser has that power.
Ridley have always been to big and the OP only show that he goes from big to huge with ONE game being an exception.
>>253050818
I don't see Phantoon being one of the bosses in Metroid.
>>253050729
Bowser can change size in-canon using magic though you autist. Ridley's size only changed because the NES was too limited to do huge complex models, and Zero Mission retconned him being tiny out. Learn your shit before you open your mouth.
>>253050756
>He's also a very easy model to scale
You probably thought ice climbers would never make it too didnt you.
>has several more appearances than Ridley does where he's closer to Mario's height

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh5kZ4uIUC0
>>253050883
In comparison to everything. He is canonically inches tall.
Why have been Ridleyfags so vocal now? They were not as annoying When Melee or Brawl were at this stage.
Well at least Genofags finally died.
>>253050965
The same EXACT thing could be said about Bowser.
>>253051015
>hurr its not canon
>in a game where its figures fighting each other
Figures arent to scale buddy
>>253050772
>Sakurai can do things that go against the basic rules of game design!
Shut the fuck up you actual retard.
Ridley's model is very large and very complicated, especially with his wings and tail. To try to make a character model large enough to accomodate that would either make the character useless because of having a massive hitbox, or disgustingly ugly because of clipping issues, or both.
Holy shit I am so glad everyone on /v/ is too pathetic to ever try and make their own games, the market would be flooded with toxic shit if that ever happened.
>>253050852
Literally every single sports/kart racer spinoff and the majority of the 2D games. It's pretty evident you've never actually played Mario games.

Olimar's not to scale either guys. And yet, he doesn't have the power to change in Pikmin canon either.

>>253051286
But Bowser has the ability to change his size in the Mario games.
Ridley not.
>>253051375

>>253051436

>>253051513
>Ridley not.
He clearly does.
>>253051479
>not understanding idioms
Confirmed autism
And again, the problem is with Ridley's overly complex model being difficult to scale down without destroying decent hitboxing or clipping issues. You Ridleyfags are the ones who brought Olimar and Bowser into it, so you're just shooting yourself in the foot.
Olimar proves that size is irrelevant in SSB. I don't know why we have these threads outside of shitposting

Ironically enough, this is what Ridleyfags ACTUALLY believe
I really hope tonight's reveal is Ridley so this stupid argument can finally be over.
Post yfw this stupid "TOO BIG" meme will end in 10 hours.
>>253051535
>ridleys too complex
So thats all you have for an arguement?
Neat.
Outside of his tail hes completely fine.
Have it stay low and then most players cant punish him 24/7, only downward attacks could hit it OR have it coiled up a little bit. Would be EASY
>>253051642
K ROOL CONFIRMED
>>253051715
The problem isn't actually the size, it's the complexity of the model. Ridley is huge because he NEEDS to be huge for his design to work, otherwise it would look like unfinished shit with clipping out the ass and terrible animations.
>>253051702
>thinking I'm a Ridleyfag
Confirmed autism
So let's assume for a moment that he gets confirmed, and none of your poppycock "problems" are present in the game. What do you do? Do you shitpost with even more fervor? Do you leave /v/ in shame forever? Do you just end your existence?
>>253051941
>>253052036
That's not related to smash honey
Basically what I'm getting is that Ridley can't be resized to be playable because he hasn't been resized to be playable yet.
oh okay then
>>253051513
>pikachu can change size tho its okay
You guys are all retarded.
>>253051974
>hurr assumptions
Gee, I wonder why no fighting game EVER has used large, complex character models scaled down to fit other fighters? I wonder why all of the huge characters in MvC2/3 are chunky as shit?
Maybe it's because you're a fucktard who doesn't know what he's talking about? Probably. Show me ONE Ridley design that doesn't look like shit and isn't too large to fit. Just try. I'm sure you can do it, since apparently you know more than any fighting game developer ever!
>>253051941
>Ridley confirmed

>>253052113
No, because unlike the average Ridleyfag I'm not an autist and can admit when I'm wrong and go about my day without having a mental breakdown,
Do people who say Ridley is too big also say that Olimar is too small?
>Big Show is too big to be in the next WWE game.
I would be so fucking hype if this is what we got.
>>253052425
Oh. Well sweet deal then bro

>>253052174
MEWTWO CONFIRMED
>>253052306
Hes skinny. With his wings hes as wide as bowser.
The tail that I ALREADY COVERED is the only problem
>hurr sakurai cant figure out a tail
Have you seen some other characters? Ice climbers were NEVER gonna make it then they did.
>>253051941
Never Ever
>>253052457
No, because Olimar's already in the game and works.
Now, if he wasn't in the game, and people were speculating for him, autists would be screaming "Olimarfags are retarded! Olimar is too small! His character model would look awkward upsized!"
>>253050883
Actually no, the little nigga is smaller than a Duracell battery.
inb4
>But that could be a planet full of giants who have also invented batteries and also have a brand called Duracell
>everybody wants a fuck huge Ridley
>nobody wants a fuck huge pig Ganon
>>253052457
No because Olimar is an easy model to scale. Scaling up is much easier than scaling down.
>>253052425
Because people who want Ridley have been proven wrong several times.
>>253052689
Demonstrate why this is.
>>ridleys too big!
>bowser is big too
>>ridley doesnt change size in canon!
>olimar doesnt either
>>we dont know olimars size!!
>sure we do, also pikachu isnt to scale either
>>HES TOO COMPLEX IT WONT EVER WORK!!!
>>253052687
I do anon.
>>253052306
There's a shop of Other M Ridley floating around with him just a little bigger than Bowser. With a couple of tweaks it'd look just fine.
Why the fuck not?
>>253052687
I would cry if he was revealed.
>yfw its the albw monstrosityFuck Yuga
>>253052579
His wings are also too much of a problem since they need to animate and then they'd be clipping through everything.
To work, Ridley as already shown in this thread would have to be at least as large as Bowser, and that's still a fucking terrible rendition of the character. AND his wings, tail, limbs etc all need to animate outwards. His hitbox would be absolutely fucked and considering Bowser is already almost too large to fit under some platforms, a Ridley model with outward extending limbs would be fucked.
So to do proper justice to the character, it's only feasible if you make him significantly larger than the rest of the roster. At which point he's nonviable. Making the character a boss works so much better, but of course Ridleyfags don't actually give a shit about the Metroid series' representation and just want to circlejerk.
And you still haven't provided an example of a decently downscaled Ridley model, so keep shitposting.
>>253053029
>>253053029
Because it's an assist trophy.
>>253052685
>ignoring the point that Olimar's model is extremely simple to upscale
>ignoring the point that Olimar had never been placed side by side with a Smash character before and confirmed a scale
>>253050883
You've clearly never played the Pikmin games have you. In the instruction manual of 2 it clearly states the heights of all the Pikmin and Olimar with a picture.
Ridley was small in Metroid because hardware restrictions put a limit on the size of each animated sprite. As the power of Nintendo's consoles increased, they were able to portray Ridley as his designers intended.
>B-but Bowser was big in a few games!
If you think Metroid and Mario are at all comparable in tone then you're not worth arguing with. It's implied that Bowser has size-shifting powers, but that doesn't even matter because Mario canon is either non-existentor so complex that no human could ever understand it. Bowser is also quite chunky, so he looks better scaled down. Ridley's limbs look like brittle spaghetti when you scale him down to Samus's size. Even if you somehow made it look right, he'd still have long, skinny limbs and huge wings, giving him a massive range of attack on top of his Bowser-level size. Either that, or he'd keep his limbs folded close to his body and waddle around like a limp-wristed retard, half-heartedly slapping at his foes. Ridley also has enormous wings and moves by flying, in a game where the objective is to remain standing on a platform without falling off. It's not quite the same as Pit and Kirby, who move primarily by running, with flying as a temporary option. Ridley flies gracefully, and stumbles around awkwardly on land. Destroying his wings is Samus's tactic for greatly weakening him. Do you even want Ridley to be portrayed in his weakest form?
>>253053169
Not the same version.
>>253053105
>but of course Ridleyfags don't actually give a shit about the Metroid series' representation and just want to circlejerk
>hurr metroidfags dont give a fuck about their series

Its about having villains dude.
We already have Samus and ZSS. We need a villain for them.
>>253053235
>Ridley
>confirmed scale
>>253052863
I shouldn't have too, this is just common sense man. Do you have problems visualizing things?
Go grab an NES sprite and upsize it in MSPaint. It still looks fine. Then go grab a PS1 sprite and upsize it. It still looks fine.
Then do the same with downsizing. Complex images/models look like shit when downsized. This is especially true of models in a 3D space.
>>253053235
>ignoring the point that Olimar had never been placed side by side with a Smash character before and confirmed a scale
Olimar is smaller than a HUMAN BRANDED battery. The smash characters ARE FIGURES. Little toys in a toy box. Olimar is still 10 times smaller.
I'm fine with Ridley being confirmed or deconfirmed. Either way it will cause extreme butthurt. Looking forward to it.
>>253053472
You're discussing complexity and not size.
>>253053284
>>253053029

>>253053359
Confirmed for not knowing jack shit about Metroid. Thank you for confirming my point.
Do you know exactly WHY Metroid villains do not speak, and only very rarely emote? It's because Metroid is about recreating a sense of alien isolation. One of the main inspirations for the series was Alien, in the first place.
Metroid does not need a villain rep because Samus is the ONLY CHARACTER that matters. NOBODY else is supposed to have Player Agency. That's a lot of the reason why Nintendo ignores Prime, they don't see it as creatively on the right track. I disagree with them on that, but it's a pretty fucking basic staple of the series that Ridley, Mother Brain, Kraid, etc. are all just obstacles for Samus to fight against, NOT characters.
So yes, you know absolutely jack shit about Metroid if you think Ridley as a playable character is a good representation of the series.
>>253053602
It shouldn't cause any butthurt. If he's in, clearly Sakurai has found a way to make him work.
No one is against the idea of another Metroid rep 'taking up another slot'.

>>253053762
Didn't play Other M. Did they really change Mother Brain into a kawaii animu girl? And there are people who consider this canon?
I just want him playable cause I love Metroid and that Melee intro ruined me. If he's not playable please just show his stage boss in action for godsake.

But anon, Ridleyfags have never touched a Metroid game in their lives.
>>253054481
Literally only the NES size is scalable and that only exists because of limitations. It's also a fucking disgusting sprite.
So you'd rather see Sakurai shit all over a character and have him be playable, than have him be a boss that actually represents his series well?
You're a fucking moron then.
Am I the only one here actually satisfied with cool reps that didnt make the cut getting AT's and stage bosses? Hell I would have been happy to see King K Rool as a boss in SSE if they weren't going to have him playable just because he is a fun villain to watch in action with all of his different incarnations
>>253054657
He does, it's right there. And Ridley's wings have always been small.
>>253054824

>>253055935
>sprite twice as tall as Samus
Thanks for proving my point

OH WOWZERS
>>253047420
>>253047238
>mfw ridley has tiny wings
I never really knew
>>253056074
Look at the fucking wings.
Look at how fucking tiny they are.
Fucking retard.
They're only big in Prime/Other M.
>>253051382
I honestly don't get what you mean when you say it's hard to scale complex models, you litterally just take the mesh and make it smaller.
>>253056194
Look again at the Super Metroid sprite, his wings are nearly the size of Samus' whole body and Samus is roughly 6'5". They're only small because he has a fucking massive and complex body sprite.
>>253056226
And ZM
Fusion is the most real version to me.
>>253054310
>Taller than Bowser
>Wings would clip through platforms
>Tail would either reach super far behind him, giving him a retardedly long hitbox, or just look tacky
>Ridley dashing would take up half of Battlefield
>WINGS WOULD CLIP THROUGH PLATFORMS
I think Sakurai would have thought about that part. There's no way we're getting a midget Ridley unless they reveal a new Metroid game with midget Ridley
>>253055906
Clipping needs to be in Smash for it to work bud.
>>253055935
>2 small wings pictures vs 8 gigantic wings pictures
>>253049750
The space pirates would save themselves a lot of grief if they stopped spending money on tubes and Ridley. Some people just never learn from their mistakes.
>>253056337
>its impossible to shrink characters
Okay.
If you did hed have small wings. Thats the point.
>>253056074
>irrelevant concept art that isn't an in-game model/sprite
You're right. His wings are so small in the sprite they are invisible!
God fucking damn it I wish you fuckers would take this shit to /vg/ where it belongs
seriously why do we need 20 fucking threads about the same game
something needs to be done OR IM GONNA LOSE IT
LOSE
IT
>>253056381
1, Super, Fusion
Prime, ZM, Other M
Nice, you can't even come close to counting.
>>253056567
Its because of the reveal today.
If its current news its allowed
>>253056567
>something needs to be done
Don't worry m8, that 'something' is gonna happen in nine hours and seven minutes.
>>253056291
Clipping and animation problems anon, clipping and animation problems. Ridley's sprite/model is big and lanky and fucked up with limbs and wings jutting out at every angle. When those limbs and wings and tails and knobbly bits don't have ROOM to jut out everywhere, they start clipping into fucking everything.
And then when you start making him walk/run/fly the problems becomes exponentially worse.
Compared to a basic blocky model like Bowser's, whose limbs all go to one point and then stop and who isn't crinkled up like tinfoil, it would be MUCH more difficult to make a working Ridley model.
Which isn't to say it literally cannot be done - although nobody has ever created a model that WORKS - but it drives home the point that Ridley works best, both thematically and from a design view, as a bigass Dragon boss for Samus et al to fight as he flies around wreaking havoc, not a scrawny lizard suffering from scoliosis.
>>253056567
Kill yourself.
>>253054134
What a tiny man
>>253046919
Firstly let's be honest, Ridley was tiny in Metroid 1 because the NES had limitation, due to a big game, Ridley was small to fit the art style etc. Which is why his very next appearence in Super Metroid was huge, and keeping a similar size in Fusion and Zero Mission
But on the flip side, Smash scales characters to fit the scene, so whatever. But my point is don't try to be all
>he was small in metroid 1 _that's_ why he'll get in!
size has nothing to do with it
>>253054250
"you know what I'm sayin'?"
>>253056194
They're cute.
>>253055906
>thinking scaling won't affect animation and will cause clipping
>>253056362
Right, but not disgusting amounts of clipping through every single piece of scenery.
>>253056478
But shrinking a 3D MODEL from a game like Other M WOULDN'T WORK, as we've already stated, BECAUSE HIS WINGS ARE TOO FUCKING LARGE.
This is a prime example of Ridleyfag logic, they're so fucking contrarian and just outright stupid that they run in circles and end up defeating themselves.
>Metroid newcomer
>It's one of the hunters
>>253056683
fuck that
this is an EVERY DAY FUCKING THING
you smash fags are literally fucking cancer. reveal or not the amount of concurrent threads at any given time on /v/ is outrageous. shit like this is the reason /v/ was split in the first place.
>>253056567
>something needs to be done OR IM GONNA LOSE IT
>LOSE

Epic
>>253057054
It wouldn't clip through the scenery because that shitty Other M 'mockup' was not done by the developers.
>>253057091
How's Sakurai gonna choose which hunter?
>>253057054
>it has to be the other m model
>it cant be a new rendition that could give inspiration for future metroid titles
Smash is known for giving characters new renditions.

>trying to stop japan time

>>253057025
Alright mate lets see an animated scaled down Ridley model that doesn't clip through everything and looks decent.
Project M I believe tried it, and you know the results? HORRIFIC CLIPPING AND ANIMATION, on top of the character model looking like actual human shit.
And, fuck me, that was a Charizard reskin. So using actual fucking resources IN THE GAME still produces vomit-worthy results.

>>253054310
>>253048123
Damn even at a distance Ridley is huge.
>>253057430
Maybe because they can't scale properly
>>253057430
>And, fuck me, that was a Charizard reskin
So your point is invalid
>>253057281
So that would somehow magically make a model already shown to be too large and too complex just.. not clip?
You've really convinced me this time anon.
>>253057303
Literally only Pit, and in this instance, Ike. For fuck's sake they've been using Twilight Princess Link for years now even when that game is no longer relevant.
>>253057535
But anon! All scaling is is just linear reduction in size, like all the other Ridleyfags have claimed! It's so fucking easy, Sakurai and everyone else with a computer can do it there's no complexity to it that would make this model not viable at all! - actual retards ITT.
Ridleyfags defeat themselves once again.

Ridleyfags want this. Ridleyfags actually want this. They want Ridley to be tiny and cute. They want to humiliate Ridley. They're not his fans. They don't like Ridley at all. They hate him.
>>253057430
>model using animations not specificly made for it
>clipping and animation problems
NO FUCKING SHIT
>>253049542
Phantoon has been in two games, Kraid in four. You're a nigger.
>>253057910
How can he chose 1 hunter out of 6 to be in Kerfuffle?
>>253057638
Yes, it would, because it's not done by fucking amateurs.
If they can make it work, they will.
>>253058093
this
seriously
Average Ridleyfags do not care at all about Metroid's representation. They don't even like Ridley as a character, because AS A CHARACTER Ridley is literally nothing more than a BOSS FIGHT.
I don't know what the fuck they want really, or why they care so much for their arbitrary bullshit. They're the hipsters of Smash, they've clung to this SO HIP RETRO character despite clearly know fucking nothing about the franchise, as they'll readily demonstrate.
The real reason why Ridley will never be in smash is because there is literally nothing you can do to make him unique. He would just be a charizard clone.
>>253057430
>hacking a model not designed for brawl, onto a animation rig not designed for ridly, results in bad results!
so, you a ps4 owner or xboner?
>>253058364
Or
stay with me anon
OR
They'll do the much easier, much more fitting thing they already have precedence doing, which is making the giant complex model a BOSS.
Because at the end of the day nobody's going to put in tons of work on something very difficult that will inevitable end up being a completely shit product, if they can get around it.
I love how Ridleyfags immediately assume Sakurai and the smash team are totally doing their damndest to make Ridley playable despite the fact that he has always been a boss and so far has continued to be teased as a boss.
>>253058528
Yes because being too similar has stopped any clones from ever being in smash
>>253050663
In the booklet for Pikmin he's confirmed to be smaller than a US Quarter.
Unless you want to argue that us Humans are giants compared to Mario and company.
>>253058703
OR
They won't.
And he's been teased as something more than a boss.
>>253058528
>its okay to literally clone clones of clones
>its okay to literally reskin
>but god forbid you dont do the above because its BORING
>>253058528
AND THEN THERE'S THIS
ABANDON THE THREAD OR ABANDON ALL DELUSIONS OF CONTROL
RIDLEYFAGS FROM THIS POINT ON ARE GOING TO LOSE THEIR SHIT AS THE ULTIMATE FACT OF REALITY IS BROUGHT BEFORE THEM
NO AMOUNT OF DELUSIONS, SHITPOSTING OR MENTAL GYMNASTICS CAN DEFEAT THIS AND SO THE RIDLEYFAGS WILL FRENZY, DEVOURING THEMSELVES AS THEY DESPERATELY SEEK REFUGE FROM REALITY
YOU HAVE DESTROYED THIS THREAD ANON. GODSPEED.

This is seriously the most fucking retarded post I've ever fucking read.
>>253058908
>samefagging this hard
>>253058878
No, he's been teased as an equivalent to Yellow Devil, who's a stage hazard, so HOLY SHIT Ridley's not even going to be a boss at this point. Hahahaha Ridleyfags blowing themselves the fuck out.
>>253058528
JUST like Pac-Man and Little Mac! I totally agree.
>>253059069
Except of the part where they actually showed Yellow Devil.
Tell me anon, why would they just refuse to show Ridley's model? Because they are le trolling?
>>253059145
Uhhh I don't know what you're talking about? What characters are Pac-Man and Little Mac similar to?
>>253059069
yellow devil is a boss
bosses are now stage hazards bro
>>253059285
its because sakurai likes to fuck with you
>n-no guys, you can't shrink him down! i-it won't work because of his body structure!
>>253059285
Because they're teasing Ridley's appearance as a boss?
I don't know if you know this, but Sakurai isn't in touch with the Smash community at all. He probably thinks people are gonna get hyped to see Ridley as a boss
>>253059285
They did show his model you fucktard. They showed the shadow and the tip of his tail from the Other M design, and then said "OF COURSE, OTHER BOSS CHARACTERS WILL APPEAR" in reference to Yellow Devil being a stage boss.
Ridleyfags ignoring reality as usual.
