Hey, luck didn't have much to do with it. You know normal bosses, how you can just wait around forever? Well, it's pretty much the same for Meta Ridley, except you have to say "Get Up" every two minutes. You still get to wait around forever.
You can catch trophies in the air. Remember a recent update on the Smash Bros. site:
Just make sure that you use a character who falls quickly when going for the trophy.

Okay, I've a few questions -- when using "Get Up," do you:
1) Start at the latest entrance point/door?
2) Lose ONLY the stickers you gained during that specific playthrough of the level?
3) Start at the beginning of the boss fight, if you happened to lost all your lives during that fight?
And all this just for the two Ridleys -- the only bosses I have left

I'll let the applicable page on the Smash Bros. site speak for itself:
Originally posted by The Applicable Page If you choose to "Get Up" and continue the fight, the following things will happen.
- You lose one half of the Stickers and Trophies you’ve just collected (items obtained from orange boxes and CDs are guaranteed to stay in your collection)
- You resume play from the beginning of the step (the unit of area from one door to another) at which you died
- The amount of coins you get for beating the stage slightly decreases
So basically, this is what happens when fighting Meta Ridley: You lose half of your collected stickers and trophies each time you continue, but when you "Get Up," you're back at the Meta Ridley fight. |

Play on Intense. I've got one character slotted up on +Trophy stickers, but haven't noticed any difference with him than any of the other characters.
Playing on Intense, however, that's a different story. Several times I've stomped two consecutive Goombas in the same jump and they'd both drop a Trophy Stand. |

But what about boss Battles, namely the Ridley battles. Is there a noticable difference in trophy stands spawning during these Ridley fights compared to very hard/hard/normal?
I haven't noticed any increase during boss battles on intense, but if anyone else has, I am willing to continue torturing myself.
I too am having a bitch of a time getting those boss trophies and I really am looking for every concivable advantage. And yeah, +Trophy stickers dont seem to really do much on any difficulty..what a waste.
..side note: add me to your SSBB f list. I getting sick of playing lagtastic games, and it would be nice if one of you guys living close to Texas would give me the honor of (Hopefully) playing a lagless game. (My nephew lives in Alberquerque, New Mexico and we have zero lag when we brawl, so I know just being close to my location helps a ton.) The brawl code sticky seems dead

At least lagtastic is better than not being able to find a match

I think he meant regular boss battles, not Boss Battles.
Any way, I just happen to live exactly where your nephew lives, AlexAR. I'll probably add you when I get some more spare time.
In a related note, I don't think anybody I've added has added me yet. :/ |

Okay, so after being informed of what exactly happens when you lose all your lives (when I initially read the update ages ago, I most likely misread it, causing confusion), I decided to try out getting Meta Ridley on Very Hard.
Well, I had to use "Get Up" once, but after that, things went pretty smoothly. The battle with Meta Ridley wasn't too bad -- nearly died once, but nothing too big. I threw the stand as Meta Ridley was floating over the Flyer, much like what happened with GuyPerfect. The only thing that made that moment different is that I was waiting for it, seeing his post about the perfect positioning and all.
So, with that, I only have Ridley left, and then it's off to getting a few Subspace enemies.

Why the hell would you think I meant Boss Battle mode? lol Of course I meant the regular boss battles in Subspace Emissary mode. And since no one confirmed intense mode was any better for getting trophy stands to spawn during boss fights, I'll stick to hard/very hard.
Thanks Red Snifit, I added you, hopefully we can brawl and hopefully the connection will be cooperative. |

You said "boss Battles"... You even capitalized "Battles." That's what one does for proper nouns, which is why I thought you meant the Stadium version.
Yes, Trophy Stands appear more rapidly on Intense than on Very Hard, if that's what you're asking. It's not a huge boost, but for that 2-minute battle, it helps. |

Alright, it finally happened. I was able to get Ridley, applying the same technique as Meta -- waiting for him to float on over the platform. I timed it just right and, well, yeah. So with that, I have no reason to fight any more bosses, for all Boss Battles-related challenges are done, and I've acquired all boss trophies.
I guess I'll be going through that trophy checklist from the Dojo to see what trophies I'm missing, with the Subspace enemies as my main focus.

I just finished up depleting my savings in the Coin Launcher. Only got one new trophy... And there are still two more that I get that way! Goombella and Zant.
Still need to collect the rest of the stickers too, but Sandbag can help me with that.
So that's 3 trophies left. )-: |

Weird thing is, I get just as much lag, if not moreso, from playing against a friend who lives 45 minutes away than from playing Tyty, who lives in Canada.
