COUNTERPOINT: Ridley's major defining characteristic is NOT being big, it's being terrifying. While being big helps with that, his Ultimate depiction pulls it off regardless.
I mean considering Metroid Dread is now the series' best selling game, & Metroid Prime just got a remaster, I think Metroid fans are willing to take this roast.
@@R0-83-RT considering it's the same guy who has admitted countless times that he dislikes the Pokemon franchise I'm pretty much used to his wrong opinions
Legends is the first good pokemon game in a long time and I still found it disappointing tbh. Personally at this point I just want another Pokemon Stadium game lmao.
Basically a friend said 'make a sequel to the ridley debate' and I said 'okay.' PLEASE LIKE THE VIDEO! It really helps me out since I've been away, the algorithm will bury me 😕🥵😤🤡
I don't get it. This is like some kind of parody, but it's not even that funny. Was there a point to this video? Is it just meant to get the fanboys upset?
@@TheRealBatabii Agreed, this feels like a video that Alax made for himself to make fun of his first (well, second I guess) video. There's not really much to get out of this video.
3:23 This was always my argument for why Arthur and Viewtiful Joe shouldn't be so short in MvC. Because neither one of them is actually short. Their art style just makes them look that way. Within their own universes, they are the same size as any other regular person, and as such, they should be normal sized in MvC as well.
Ridley is my favorite character in Smash Ultimate. Perhaps the opening of Smash Melee depicting that sick standoff between Samus and Ridley planted a seed which over time convinced a lot of people they wanted him in. Welcome back!
Yes, I agree that even from the moment that Ridley was announced, that I realised “ah, so they did have to shrink the purple raptor” But his reveal is hype, was one of the core four “vocally wanted” characters (Ridley, King K Rool, Issac, and Geno), and he play style fits his animalistic ruthlessness. Speaking of “vocally wanted” characters, it’s good to see that at least half of them got into Ultimate at launch, but after Ultimate’s release, the “vocally wanted” list changed to Waluigi being top priority with Geno being second priority (which just makes Piranha Plant getting added as DLC instead even funnier)
I’m not saying Isaac isn’t highly requested, but he isn’t on the tier of Ridley, K rool and Geno, the fourth character on that list should definitely be Banjo, definitely had a stronger grip on smash speculation than Isaac could have ever hoped to reach
@@tekwizwa ok, that’s definitely interesting because before Ultimate launched I kept seeing people wanting Isaac in smash but barely anyone wanting Banjo. Do if you’re correct (and I do think you’re correct) then that means that three of the top four wanted characters got into Smash Ultimate, which is good to hear.
Genuinely missed you. You've been my favorite RUclipsr for the last handful of years. What I'm gonna need from you next is evaluating whether or not the characters in Sonic's universe have actual toes on their feet, or if they're toeless nubs :)
4:36 It's funny that you say that, because there's actually a Shrek fighting game on the GBC where you can play as the dragon. And the dragon is scaled down too.
I get nostalgic thinking about your very first videos and how I was a Sm4sh obsessed child just looking for content to feed into my obsession. hearing that was 9 years ago hit me like a hype train HOLY HELL.
Albert here comes swinging out of the gate with an incredibly controversial first video after almost a year. I respect that so much Allen. Letting people know that “ChillOutMaurice is back and he’s coming out swinging!” Loved the video Lorenza. So good to have you back
Glad you're back Alax. This video is like that one clip of you saying "I have a lot of bad opinions, I wear them on my sleeve" but turned into a video, I love it. It does kinda contradict things you've said before though (ie: "Sakurai added Ridley because the fans wanted him" - Ridley Know Your Moves), but I guess that's the point lol. The audio in this vid is very quiet compared to other youtube vids btw.
@@orangeslash1667 Do you honestly think there's any kind of objectivity in his take? Whether or not he was bored by the games, it's his experience. You can't write off his experience of boredom as "it's not boring" lmao.
4:31 he is one of the main antagonist of the franchise, he is the reason, Samus become a bunch hunter, due to Ridlley murdering her parents, when Samus was was 3 year old, he killed Samus mother in cold blood in front of her
Dude, I'm 22 and got into Metroid when I was 13. Otherwise, great to have you back man; your chaos is something else - From another Alex who had his Golden Birthday on 4/14/14. Coincidence? I think not.
Man, the "relevancy" argument (#2) takes me back to the days of Smash 4 speculating when people were claiming Ghirahim would be added and Ganondorf would get cut because he wasn't in a new game since Twilight Princess so he wasn't relevant anymore LOL Hey maybe they could've also argued that the consequence (#3) of keeping Ganondorf was giving the OK for clones and semi-clones to exist in Smash, as well as characters with movesets completely non-canon to their game appearances 🙃
I know this is a wacky shitpost (Alax's specialty) but I still find it ironic that the franchise he's defecating on has been dominating the eshop as of yesterday.
Alax, glad you returned but I have a question that has yet to be answered. Who drew the thumbmail with the thicc samus about the canonical smash tier list. I desperately need to know. Answer as soon as possible
As a Ridley main I feel attacked and entertained at the same time. The Ridley side of me is thinking about every single counter argument to those dumb points but then the other gamer side of me is going “shut up he’s hilarious”
I checked your channel a few days ago thinking "man whatever happened to relaxalax" and your channel was all black and I knew either your channel was gonna be deleted or you were coming back. Good to have your videos back!
Alax returns and admitted that he despises the Metroid Franchise. Love this man.
No
that's exactly what happened lol. take my like 😂😂😂
What analyzing Samus in Smash does to a mf
Ngl same
I do think that Metroid is a pretty bottom of the barrel franchise.
COUNTERPOINT: Ridley's major defining characteristic is NOT being big, it's being terrifying. While being big helps with that, his Ultimate depiction pulls it off regardless.
Ridley's up taunt is LITERALLY just him standing to his full height lmao.
this video feels like alax had a friend who played a mean ridley and then got pissed and then made this video. good video keep it up 👍
The lack of characterization in metroid rant made me feel that he got charge shot camped one too many times lol
I dont like that this is the hearted comment
@@kitsinthewebs222 maybe i was right lmao
He hearted the comment. It's canon now.
@@Sgt-Wolf canondorf
He came back when the world needed him most and immediately made an enemy out of the Metroid fandom and I have no choice but to respect the gall
Nah, even as a Metroid fan I appreciate his past services to Ridley too much to hold this against him.
I mean considering Metroid Dread is now the series' best selling game, & Metroid Prime just got a remaster, I think Metroid fans are willing to take this roast.

@@Benjawin6671 Except he was right for the past two generations (other than Legends Arceus).

Thank you for keeping the rat joke alive. It gives me life.
The section on the Metroid franchise feels like the “How can you read this, there’s no pictures?” of video games
God, I missed Alax’s silly and whimsical editing style. So glad he’s back!!!
I hear that.
I was going to comment this exact thing! I absolutely love his style.
I just need to see Monika again :>
@@BassRukarioGuerrero I do too man.
Vannamelon's Monika has been able to keep me going when Alax vanished but his depiction of her is just as awesome.
I don't think I have ever disagreed with a massive incoherent hot take like this in my entire life
Good to have you back Alan.
Man, these AI Videos are getting insane. I almost thought he actually believed Ridley got in Smash! Great content as always, RelaxingAlax.
Is this some kinda joke? I don't get it

lol ur friend has great taste 👌 ty 4 making this video! is really giving me some 2016 vibes~~~

Within their own universes, they are the same size as any other regular person, and as such, they should be normal sized in MvC as well.
Counterpoint.
Viewtiful Joe with a normal size sounds extremely cursed to me.
Yeahhhhhh. I'm glad he's short in mvc3 lol
@@Klonoahedgehog Hilariously, Viewtiful Joe should be as tall as Dante at least, but I agree - his entire artstyle would need to change
@@Klonoahedgehog Objection, there was a Viewtiful Joe costume in SFV and that looked fine, and Arthur was normal sized in Project X Zone.
@@griefingg0lem685The Joe costume still looks weird in SF5. They need to shrunk down the head a bit
I was sitting through the entire thing and saying in my head "where's he going with this?"
"...Did you really sit through all this?"
Yes Alax. Yes I did. Because I missed your style of comedic humor so much.
Welcome back dude!
"You guys really want the dragon from shrek?"
HELL YES.
Oh...you mean in smash...
this whole video is a personal vendetta within the trojan horse of a smash character critique. I love it.

This video is borderline incoherent.
10/10
Finally seeing Ridley added to Smash was great. He’s like the bowser of Metroid it just didn’t feel right not to have him
The first video back and he makes this absolutely hairbrained conspiracy. I love it.
So Alax's first proper video back and it's of him roasting his first video ever.
Glad to have him back
Alax: comes back finally
Also Alax: pisses off every Metroid fan (including me)
Me: still watches video cuz it’s Alax 😂😂😂
I get nostalgic thinking about your very first videos and how I was a Sm4sh obsessed child just looking for content to feed into my obsession. hearing that was 9 years ago hit me like a hype train HOLY HELL.
2:14 This moment is absolutely priceless. I can't stop laughing! LOL
THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED 🙌🏽
I miss the old intro, but either way I’m so happy that your back. your vids always bring a smile to my face~ cannot wait to see what u have cooking!!
I admit I forgot this channel existed but since I haven't missed any videos i belive myself justified
"Thanks 5 Watchin1"

"did you really sit through all this"
...did you really sit and edit all this?
we love you Alax!
glad to see you back alax you know how long I've waited but still im glad you're back
the rat joke, my favorite joke, is back

That intro bit made me smile very wide. Welcome back Alax!
This feels like it could be a great April Fools video.
Except it isn't April nor are there any fools around here (except for me)
So excited to see Alax back, still anticipating on his Mario Movie review shortly after the film comes out if he does that
Count on it!
@@relaxalax Metroid isn't boring, it's just that the series is not very accessible to beginners. Except for Zero mission.

@@SeaOfPixels He could have just said that couldn't get into it. That's what Cjszero01 did when he complained about Metroid backtracking.
So much of Alax's comedy has changed, and yet it hasn't. Welcome back, you beautiful bald Canadian.
Alax if you're kidnapped and need help, blink twice (and release 2 more videos)
I've waited for this day for so long, I remember watching that video all the way back when you were on an episode of Gamexplain .
4:31 he is one of the main antagonist of the franchise, he is the reason, Samus become a bunch hunter, due to Ridlley murdering her parents, when Samus was was 3 year old, he killed Samus mother in cold blood in front of her
Makes sense. He is a smart and cunning space pirate.
This video is actually very smart because it will remain in my head for weeks as I try to dissect it to determine how much of it is a joke
I forgot how good the editing and comedy is in your videos during the time you took a break for a year. This is amusing to watch! 👍
tldr: alax bashes on the metroid series for 8 minutes straight
With that logic is too small and Bowser too big
it’s kinda fitting that ridley would bring ruin, considering he’s the most evil character in all of smash
…before sephiroth
Pfft. Don't tell me you already got blackmailed again, Alice!
1 innocent Kirby player will be sacrificed for every day I have not been told where I can find that video ending music
the return of STOCK IMAGE LEL filled me with joy
great video and no dislikes which means your opinion was right yet again. the man is a prophet
LESS THAN 2 MINS IN and this video makes me laugh harder than I thought imaginable. Glad to have ya back Alax.
I fucking love the way you present your arguments, one of the reasons I've always loved your channel, Alax ❤️
Alex is just a crazed lunatic with a whole family of cats rambling about random aspects of a Nintendo fighting game
this has always been my argument went people say "Olimar is the size of a quarter so he's too small"
SOUP
ALL RIGHT DONE THAT WAS PEAK GOOD JOB ALAX!
Yes. I did sit through all of it and I WILL SIT THROUGH ALL OF IT A COUPLE MORE TIMES DAMN IT!
I had to check the date to make sure that it wasn't an April Fools upload.
Dude, I'm 22 and got into Metroid when I was 13. Otherwise, great to have you back man; your chaos is something else - From another Alex who had his Golden Birthday on 4/14/14. Coincidence? I think not.
Exact Same story for me, Alax is the old man lol
Relentless appendix is back
you have no idea how much I missed the sonic 3 sound effects you put in your videos man
Man, the "relevancy" argument (#2) takes me back to the days of Smash 4 speculating when people were claiming Ghirahim would be added and Ganondorf would get cut because he wasn't in a new game since Twilight Princess so he wasn't relevant anymore LOL
Hey maybe they could've also argued that the consequence (#3) of keeping Ganondorf was giving the OK for clones and semi-clones to exist in Smash, as well as characters with movesets completely non-canon to their game appearances 🙃
Wow I really sat through all of this
god he really chose the most adorable rat png to utterly annihilate
Alax’s editing is pure bliss. I wish I could do this stuff.
3:58 so glad this meme still comes up
I didn't know I missed soup jokes that much
I don't care what the video is about, any time Alax uploads, I'm happy
YYYAAAAAYYYYY!!!! YOU HAVE RETURNED!!!
What a better way to come back that with some spicy drama for the Metroid fans
As a Metroid fan myself
Is good to have you back
Can't wait to see the 50th retweet of DK falling off a rail in a minecart
Alax ty for posting this takes ne back to a better time
Bro came back wanting smoke from metroid and I'm all for it
I'm glad the announcer said your name with scorn
I know this is a wacky shitpost (Alax's specialty) but I still find it ironic that the franchise he's defecating on has been dominating the eshop as of yesterday.
Yeahhhh the Rat meme is BACK! and so is Alax!!!! (so fking happy about your come back man, for real)
Ok, but.
What if I don't care, and I just like the funny space dragon
Iron Giant laughs
This video feels like a parody of a relaxalax video
what the FRIG i smashed that bell forever ago and youtube didn't let me know when this went up
WELCOME BACK ALAX
You're laughing.
Samus's parents are dead and you're laughing.
babe wake up new relax alax video
Holy shit dude glad to see you back.
This feels like an argument i would have with someone, that someone being my cat. GOOD VIDE THANKZ 5 MAKE 👍
He really came back just to say "fuck metroid" huh?
Lmao I missed ya
Welcome back Alax. I can't wait for you to bless us with your knowledge in the year 2023
Alax, glad you returned but I have a question that has yet to be answered.
Who drew the thumbmail with the thicc samus about the canonical smash tier list. I desperately need to know. Answer as soon as possible
Metroid stayed alive thanks to Zero Suit Samus rule34.
The return of the unhinged content... It's so good to have you back, Alax! ❤
Alax on his way to trigger every single Metroid fan lmao
Glad you have you back! Love your videos man.
the legend is here
edit: yes Alex i realy did just throught all of that
As a Ridley main I feel attacked and entertained at the same time.
The Ridley side of me is thinking about every single counter argument to those dumb points but then the other gamer side of me is going “shut up he’s hilarious”
Im glad hes back, but after him talking about ganon, now i want a video about him gushing iver ganon
Return of the King.
Alax is the polar opposite of Arlo and im 100% here for it
I love that One Piece reference RelaxAlax ;)
So true! I have no idea what a Metroid is!
Anyways, what about F-Zero, Nintendo??? What about Star Fox??????
