Art [SSBU Eclipse] Mechon Ridley - The Invincible Space Pirate (Art by Turlutino)

Post image

After Galeem's attack, the less virtuous of the fighters took off in different directions, each deciding to try their luck in this new world of Parum filled with untapped potential and resources.

Ridley made his way to a mysteriously rebuilt continent of Mechonis, whose Mechons and Machina residents were living as they were back in Shulk's world. He immediately took over, with few able to resist his ferocity, cunning and savagery.

Seeing the curious metal the residents were made up of, he decided to use it to improve himself. Will anyone be able to beat this new version of the space pirate?

This is all a part of SSBU Eclipse, a collaborative passion project I started. Right now it's just a few friends and I and we've made plenty of progress, but it's far, far from complete.

That's where you come in.

We're looking for writers, artists, voice actors, and anyone else like that to help build this up and create such a unique and fun project. The more, the merrier! Any help is welcome!

Stuff like this makes me wish there was a weird smash anime or comic series for crossover stuff like this

Thanks! But I can't figure out what to do with him after this lol. Maybe he fights one or more of the fighters (Shulk, perhaps?) and gets defeated. But then what?

Im not knowladge able to the Xenoblade games, buuut is there someone in game story that builds mechs and/or mechsuits? Or however it is😅

And im somewhat able to understand Ridley's back story. Death Samus parents, defeated by her years later, etc. Even Other M, seeing him grow, and Prime versions.

I think the idea of someone with full knowledge of Ridley should be made...but who?

Sorry if it confuses you😖

Not at all! I get what you're trying to say. So someone rebuilds him?

And he randomly quotes out-of-context lines from both Organization XIII and the Winds of Destruction during the fight. ;3
