'''Ridley''' ({{ja|リドリー|Ridorī}}, ''Ridley'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was revealed as a newcomer alongside {{SSBU|Inkling}} and {{SSBU|Daisy}} from Nintendo's 2018 E3 press conference, on June 12th, 2018, with an animated trailer. Ridley is classified as fighter #65. | |||
Similar to {{SSBU|Bowser}} and {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}, Ridley has no voice actor and instead roars and screeches, similarly to his sounds in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', and various ''Metroid'' games. | |||

==Attributes== | ==Attributes== | ||
Ridley is a [[weight|heavyweight]] character | Ridley, unsurprisingly for being a large character with powerful attacks, is a [[weight|heavyweight]] character, although he weighs much less than a super heavyweight despite his similar size. However, his attributes compared to other archetypal heavyweights are noticeably different, as Ridley has overall excellent mobility in the 10th fastest [[dash]]ing speed, average [[air speed]], the 16th fastest [[falling speed]], average [[gravity]], and average frame data, compounded with a long-distanced recovery. His varied moves allow him to play as a zoning, rushdown, or a pressure-based character. | ||
Ridley's | Ridley's most defining trait is his dominant air game. Boasting overall quick, powerful, and long-ranged aerials, having two midair jumps, and decent air mobility give him overall excellent air pressure potential. Thanks to his additional jump, relatively low gravity and relatively high fast fall speed, he has superb vertical flexibility, and can use additional jumps or surprise fastfalls to fake out and punish his opponents with his far-reaching aerials. His [[neutral aerial]], due to having low all-around lag, good range, and average knockback, is a good comboing, spacing, and [[edgeguarding]] tool, while also being fast enough to break out of certain combos if positioned correctly. [[Forward aerial]], while having merely average power, has very high damage output when all hits are sweetspotted, and is infamous for effectively performing a [[wall of pain]] at low percentages, especially due to Ridley's aforementioned two midair jumps. [[Back aerial]] is quick, long-ranged and has very high damage and knockback, which makes it a deadly edgeguarding tool and can KO especially early offstage. [[Up aerial]] is a good juggling move with quick startup and good KO potential when sweetspotted, but it has moderately linear hitboxes. Lastly, [[down aerial]] is a stall-and-fall that powerfully [[meteor smash|meteor smashes]] opponents when sweetspotted, and can potentially be recovered from if initiated slightly above the ground. Even when sourspotted, it has high KO potential. Overall, Ridley has many options to rack up damage in the air, and has easy ways to set up into them. | ||
Ridley | Ridley also has an abundance of powerful moves like his fellow heavyweights, which leads into one of his other primary strengths; his edgeguarding ability. His aforementioned potential in the air gives him huge offstage presence, and many of his attacks have great KO potential. His aforementioned forward aerial boasts great wall of pain potential with enough reach and a long enough duration to effectively gimp most recovering opponents. Ridley also has easy ways to set up edgeguards; his down tilt and down throw are both very reliable combo starters that launch at favorable angles, and he has plenty of other attacks that have high horizontal knockback, such as forward tilt and dash attack. Overall, Ridley poses a huge threat when his opponent is offstage, as making the right plays will give the opponent little to no chance to come back, which gives him among the best edgeguarding abilities in the game. | ||
Another noteworthy aspect of Ridley are his smash attacks, which all have their exclusive advantages. Forward smash has slow startup and short range, though is one of the strongest of its kind in both damage and knockback, and is just fast enough to punish whiffs, landings, or be a situational follow-up option, like being a follow-up to a late hit of a landing neutral aerial. Down smash has noticeable start up and less extreme raw power, but has very large range and is one of his few moves to make use of the invulnerable parts of Ridley's wings. Down smash also has a unique attribute in that Ridley hops very high during the start up, which can completely dodge attacks with low aim and sometimes those with center aim, making it especially effective in fields like punishing a get up attack or punishing grab whiffs. It is also a notoriously effective punishment option after a successful Skewer sweetspot, as the short hop itself can cover most get-up options. Finally, Ridley's up smash is his fastest smash attack and, while not having the sheer power of the other two, is his least situational as it can be a very effective anti-air and can make landing a severe issue for an opponent, and still boasts above average raw power. Overall, each of Ridley's smash attacks boasts the typical great power of a heavyweight, but all come with different attributes to make each one useful in the field. | |||
Additionally, his special moveset offers interesting options. [[Plasma Breath]] is a chargeable projectile move, and when fully charged, it deals substantial damage and can hit multiple times. These traits make it a useful edgeguarding, damage-racking, combo-starting, and gimping tool. The recoil of Plasma Breath can even serve as a niche defensive option due to Ridley not suffering any knockback from it, especially when offstage. [[Space Pirate Rush]] is a command grab with some unique perks; it can be cancelled into a throw at any time that puts both Ridley and the opponent into the air. This allows for easy gimps offstage as Ridley can drag opponents closer to a blast zone, potentially leaving them too far to recover. Onstage, when performed from one ledge to another, deals substantial damage and launches opponents offstage when Ridley reaches the edge of a floor, with the launch being capable of KOing at high percentages. [[Wing Blitz]] is Ridley's primary recovery move that can be aimed in four directions, and has impressive offensive potential. The up, forward, and back inputs all have high KO potential, and the down input meteor smashes opponents, with all variants having the ability to snap the ledge during the move, making it a high-risk, high-reward edgeguarding tool. Lastly, [[Skewer]] is a "high risk, high reward" and punishment move that, when sweetspotted, deals extremely high damage and crumples enemies, where Ridley can then read an opponent's reaction to put them in a dangerous position. | |||
Furthermore to Ridley's claim is his range, courtesy of his very large frame. Many of Ridley's moves come with a disjoint, and many of his attacks have huge hitboxes, some even eclipsing sword users like Marth and Ike. Ridley also has a surprising lack of sourspots across his toolkit, with examples like his down smash being the only "hopping" down smash to have a consistently powerful hitbox with no sourspot. Ridley's disjoints can even challenge and beat out incoming projectiles when timed right. This is all on top of the aforementioned projectile he has, and plays into what makes Ridley a strangely varied fighter. Ridley has the tools to gradually poke and pressure from a fair distance away, but also aggressively punish whiffs or what would be normally inconsequential slip ups. | |||
Lastly, Ridley | Lastly, Ridley is a character with a surprisingly dangerous combo game and an oppressive advantage state, and those unaware of Ridley's danger factor can find themselves being heavily overwhelmed quickly and/or find it difficult to get in. Down throw, down tilt and Plasma Breath can lead into various strings and combos that can rack up huge damage with only a few hits, with some even leading to easy kill moves. Due to the disjoints of his hitboxes on his tail and wings, this gives him an impressive amount of defense even while on the offense. Overall, this allows Ridley to pile up damage very quickly and also makes it risky for opponents to regain the advantage, as Ridley's ability to start combos and break a defense even while in a disadvantage forces the opponent to be cautious and aware of Ridley's options. | ||
While Ridley has amazing strengths, he also has some weaknesses. Ridley has the largest hurtbox out of all characters, combined with his heavy weight and fast falling speed makes him very easy to combo, juggle, and hit in general, and while Ridley's frame data is decent, especially for a heavyweight, he is nevertheless rather easy to [[punishment|punish]] due to some of his best attacks having noticeable ending lag. Ridley's moveset is so focused on accumulating damage, netting kills, and sustaining advantage that he lacks tools to prevent these very things from happening to him. Because of this, Ridley's disadvantage state is not only torturous to endure, but easy to slip into. Failure to overwhelm or control aggression will be a death sentence. His options against projectile users and zoning is rather limited, despite having zoning tools and a projectile himself; Plasma Breath is laggy and its projectiles travel slowly, while the move also possesses a hurtbox on Ridley's mouth that damages and stuns him if he is hit there, and even if said recoil prevents knockback, it can easily open up opportunities for more attacks against him that would end a stock. This trick also has virtually no beneficial use outside surprising unfamiliar opponents or emergency situations during kill percent. Ridley's disjointed moves are capable of beating out projectiles, and he has a few moves that boast enough range to challenge zoners, but these options usually require a great deal of effort to execute right compared to what they're challenging, and can quickly lead to Ridley being cornered into a worse situation. This is further expressed with how tricky it is to land with Ridley despite being a fast faller, as even his versatile neutral aerial has difficulty covering directly below him. Overall, Ridley's vulnerabilities give him difficulty against characters with better frame data and/or edge-guarding/pressuring tools. | |||
Another weakness, while not as significant as his susceptibility to combos and projectile pressure, is his laggy and predictable [[recovery]]; despite Ridley having average air speed, two midair jumps, and two useful recovery options being Space Pirate Rush and Wing Blitz, these can be easily intercepted by keeping Ridley offstage. Both of his recovery specials also have high startup and Wing Blitz, despite its impressive distance, has only four angled travel routes, which means that Ridley has to properly get into a good position to recover, which gives the opponent more than enough time to react. While Wing Blitz has some minor defenses while active, that being invulnerability around the spiked tips of his wings along with dealing heavy knockback and damage with contact, his actual, vulnerable body can be quite easy to aim for. This is doubly worse when a character has disjointed attacks, as they can safely challenge the move at any state of it's animation and so much as scraping Ridley himself would beat it. | |||
While not a significant downside, a noticeable flaw of Ridley's kit is his limited uses from getting a grab. Ridley's grab range is somewhat short for his size to begin with, and a character like him can greatly suffer from whiffing it. While down throw functions as a strong and reliable combo tool from low to mid percents, and at very high percentages (around 150%) is capable of KOing middleweights, none of Ridley's other throws provide much usage beyond repositioning the opponent. Forward and back throws don't KO at reasonable percentages, even with ideal positioning, and aren't particularly strong. Up throw, while being his most damaging throw and a passable kill throw with low ceiling stages, is best as a mediocre set up for Ridley's juggles. Even Ridley's down throw doesn't combo into entirely unique strings, as his down tilt can service some of the same use while being much safer to execute, though down-throw into forward tilt is a noteworthy string by itself and can lead into some of Ridley's most dangerous combos. The existence of [[Space Pirate Rush]] can also invalidate what reward his normal grab can attain, especially at high percents. Overall, Ridley's grab game is almost entirely centralized by his down throw's (admittedly impressive) utility, with his other throws being situational at best and a complete waste of risky effort at worst. | |||
An often ignored but critical flaw to Ridley is how drastically his moves vary in quality, which can lead to Ridley becoming quite predictable to even the most unaware player. While Ridley has plenty of amazing moves, other moves have significant flaws. These can range from absurd blindspots (up tilt, up smash), overly strict (Skewer, up aerial), to being overall unreliable (down aerial). On the other side of spectrum, some of Ridley's moves like neutral aerial are so favorable that it becomes very easy to over centralize on their use. Ridley is a character that finds the most success in being unpredictable, which can be impossible when a player subconsciously checks off using so many moves. | |||
Lastly, Ridley's overall endurance and survivability, despite being a heavyweight, is rather poor for said weight category. While he is considered a heavyweight fighter, he is somewhat notorious for being KO'd rather easily despite this. When combining his previous flaw of being unable to escape combos effectively and struggle with recovering under pressure, he is one of the most affected characters by large combo strings, and is rather easy to finish off. As a result, while his survivability isn't as poor as other lighter characters, it is unimpressive for a heavyweight of his size. | |||
Overall, Ridley has excellent damage, pressure, and edge-guarding potential with a broad arsenal of powerful moves and tools to gain and sustain advantage, but has to be constantly aware of when and how to use them within the context of his constantly shifting playstyle to take full advantage of them (as moves like Plasma Breath can be fantastic or horrendous given his position), and prevent the opponent from capitalizing on his own susceptibilities. Ridley's moveset being heavily lopsided towards raw damage and killing means that Ridley can easily make comebacks or greatly widen his lead with minimal set up should an opponent budge an inch or make a single error in considering Ridley's approach. However, his lack of defensive options and vulnerability means that one wrong move from Ridley himself can devastate him worse than almost every other character. Ridley is a character with a surprising amount of tools and playstyles, but this also means Ridley has an enormous amount of opportunities to make a mistake, which can lead to Ridley seeming much weaker than he is initially. If Ridley plays recklessly or even predictably, he will be punished easily with a slew of combos, face walls of projectiles, and general pressure he isn't built to handle, and these situations can crop up often if Ridley fails to both utilize his many tools correctly and vary between them. | |||
Ridley's competitive potential is subject for debate. Many professional players like {{Sm|ZeRo}} are considering him a low tier character that is worse than the majority of the roster for his susceptibility to combos, supposedly limited development, and general difficulties in survival. Others like {{Sm|Leffen}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, and {{Sm|ESAM}} argue, however, that he's surprisingly impressive in high level play thanks to the sheer effectiveness of his overall advantage state, ludicrous benefits from playing unpredictable, and his relatively high DPS that complements his many kill moves. This can be further expressed by his tournament presence, where Ridley is a relatively unpopular pick, yet displays very respectable results wherever he does show, with {{Sm|Trela}}'s Ridley even winning gold at multiple tournaments and {{Sm|Tweek}}'s Ridley finding similar success. Because of this, Ridley is generally considered viable, but to whether or not this is due to unfamiliarity in an undeveloped meta or if Ridley has genuine promise is unknown. In casual fields, Ridley is notorious for how exploitable his weaknesses are and the many pitfalls that beginners can fall into, especially with poor routing of Wing Blitz leading to awkward and anti-climatic finishes. | |||

Renders Ridley's wing [[intangible]] while the hitboxes are active, which along with its coverage allows it to function as an effective anti-air. Its moderate speed also allows it to combo into itself at low to mid percents, and into any aerial attack at mid to high percents. Has blind spots beside Ridley. | ||

|fsmashdesc=Rears back | |fsmashdesc=Rears back, then generates a [[flame|fiery]] explosion from his mouth in front of himself. Has slow startup and short range (covering less horizontal distance than his forward tilt), but deals very high damage and knockback, KOing under 80% from center stage. | ||
|usmashname= | |usmashname= Ridley Flip | ||
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|17}} | |usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|17}} | ||

Has moderate startup and ending lag, but has a large overall hitbox and grants intangibility on Ridley's leg while the hitboxes are active, making it a powerful anti-air similarly to his up tilt. Can KO at around 105% from ground level. | ||

Hits both of Ridley's sides simultaneously with large coverage, allowing it to punish tech rolls in certain instances. The leap during startup can allow him to dodge some ground attacks if timed right (especially floor attacks that may be used after hitting with Skewer, or ledge attacks), while the edges of the attack utilize the intangible half of Ridley's wings. However, it has the slowest startup out of Ridley's smash attacks, and deals the least damage, while being only slightly stronger than his up smash. Launches opponents upward, KOing at around 100%. | ||

Has the lowest startup, ending lag and landing lag out of Ridley's aerials, as well as a long duration and a large hitbox, making it one of his main approach options. Upon landing, it can also combo into a jab, forward tilt, down tilt or grab at low percents, and another neutral aerial or a forward aerial at mid percents, especially if the sourspot is landed. | ||

|fairdesc= | |fairdesc=Stabs with his tail forward three times in quick succession. Deals the most damage out of Ridley's aerials if all hits are sweetspotted (17% total); however, it is also his weakest aerial knockback-wise, while its hitboxes are small compared to his other moves. Has moderate landing lag, albeit the first hit can set up a jab. | ||

|bairdesc=A | |bairdesc=A roundhouse kick behind himself, similar to his archnemesis {{SSBU|Samus}}'s back aerial. Ridley's strongest aerial, KOing at around 130% from center stage. Its horizontal range and high damage also make it a relatively safe approach option, despite its moderate landing lag. | ||

|uairdesc=Thrusts | |uairdesc=Thrusts both wings upward while closed. Has a sweetspot at the tip of the wings, which can KO at around 120% in the air. Its moderate startup and landing lag alongside Ridley's speed make it effective for [[juggling]]. On landing, it can also combo into an up tilt or up smash at low percents, as well as any aerial (except down aerial) up to high percents, including a sweetspotted up aerial as a potential KO setup. | ||

|dairdesc= | |dairdesc=Plummets down stomping with both feet. A [[stall-then-fall]] with a sweetspot on its clean hit that [[meteor smash]]es opponents. Unlike most other moves of its kind, Ridley can also recover from it offstage if initiated at least at some height above the stage. However, it has very high landing lag, leaving it unsafe as a landing option and preventing any followups out of its meteor smash onstage. It resembles a move Meta Ridley uses in ''Metroid Prime.'' | ||

When charged, it is fairly effective for camping and edgeguarding due to its low ending lag and sheer amount of projectiles, and can rack up damage quickly if uninterrupted. However, it has rather high startup, and hitting Ridley's mouth while he is charging the move causes [[recoil damage]] to him depending on how much it had been charged.

If successful, Ridley slams them onto the ground and drags them forward along it, dealing continuous damage, then throws them either upon reaching an edge or if the special move button is held. The move deals more damage the more distance the opponent is dragged along the ground, dealing 17% minimum when throwing manually, and can rack up a lot of damage in a short span of time. However, they can [[mash]] out of the move before Ridley throws them, with how fast they can escape depending on the difference between their percent and Ridley's. In midair, it doesn't incur [[helplessness]], allowing it to extend Ridley's recovery, and grabbing an opponent causes him to fall down with them until landing or throwing them manually, allowing it to be used for a [[sacrificial KO]]. However, it has some startup lag, and the aerial version causes Ridley to drop downwards after its horizontal momentum ends, making it possible to mistime a recovery. | ||

|usdesc= | |usdesc=Charges up, then performs a flying tackle in any of four possible directions: straight up by default; forward and slightly down; backward and slightly up; and down and slightly forward. The move travels a long distance, does not lose power while traveling and is noticeably powerful, with the forward and up tackles KOing under 130% from center stage. The down tackle also meteor smashes aerial targets, while allowing Ridley to save himself by grabbing an edge, making it potentially deadly for [[edgeguard]]ing. However, the move has very slow startup, and its few angles limit the positions from which Ridley can safely recover with it. | ||

|dsdesc= | |dsdesc=Brings his tail back as it glows briefly, then stabs forward with it. If hit near the tip of the tail, it deals extremely high damage (50% total) and causes opponents to crumple, akin to a fully charged [[Focus Attack]]; both the sweetspot and the sourspot deal minimal shield damage, however. It has a very slow startup of half a second (30 [[frame]]s), and conversely deals low damage and knockback if any other part of Ridley's tail hits, making it significantly hard to land especially in one-on-one battles. Additionally, the sweetspotted attack only allows Ridley to move after the opponent gets up again, making followup attacks based on reading the opponent's getup option. | ||

|fsdesc= | |fsdesc=Lets out a roar and dashes forward. Upon hitting an opponent, a cinematic sequence begins with Ridley headbutting them onto Samus's gunship; as the gunship flies off, he shoots it down with a laser that engulfs both the ship and the target in an explosion. After the cutscene ends, the opponent is meteor smashed and the gunship can be seen crashing in the background of the stage. This Final Smash is an [[instant KO]] on opponents at 100% damage or higher before the cutscene ends. | ||

* | *Ridley’s model appears to be based on his ''Super Metroid'' sprite with additional details and embellishments, some of which loosely resemble his design in ''Metroid: Other M''. His size is significantly reduced to that of his appearance in the NES Game ''Metroid'', where his hunched posture is only slightly taller than Samus. | ||
** Sakurai was reported to have heavily based Ridley on his depiction in the original ''Metroid'', specifically how the sprite appeared hunched over even while flying.<ref>https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2018/jul/23/masahiro-sakurai-designed-ridley-super-smash-bros-ultimate-based-his-appearance-original-metroid-nes/</ref> | |||
*Previously, Sakurai did not want to include Ridley in ''Super Smash Bros.'' as a playable fighter due to various reasons, including believing that reducing his power to playable levels will undermine his presentation and, more infamously, his size being too big to properly integrate into the universe, the latter to the point that [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ridley-is-too-big it has widely been considered an internet meme.] | |||
** | **In fact, as of the current version of the game, Ridley has the largest character model of all playable characters, with even his hunched over posture being taller than the likes of Bowser and Donkey Kong, his head alone being taller than Mario, and his total wingspan being far longer than most character's entire height. This is most noticeable during his down taunt, where his straightened back demonstrates how much taller he is than other characters. | ||

*Ridley is one of two newcomers (the other being {{SSBU|Inkling}}) to be in a veteran's gallery on the official website, specifically {{SSBU|Marth}}'s. | |||
*Ridley has the fastest running speed out of all the newcomers, running at the same speed as Charizard. | |||
*Ridley is unlocked through {{SSBU|Yoshi}}'s unlock column, referencing the fact that both characters are reptiles and have the ability to breath fire. | |||
**Ridley also appears as an opponent in Yoshi's Classic Mode, ''Jurassic Journey!''. | |||
**Yoshi's unlock column also features {{SSBU|Marth}}, {{SSBU|Lucina}} and {{SSBU|Chrom}}, all of which have faced a giant malevolent dragon (much like Ridley) as their arch-enemy. Ridley is also fought in Marth's Classic Mode route, ''A Kingdom of Dragons''. | |||
**Also, Ridley's pose in his offical art is almost similar to Yoshi's only mirrored. | |||
*Ridley is the only character in ''Ultimate'' to not recieve a significant eye color change after obtaining a Smash Ball or during a perfect shield animation due to his eyes already being yellow. | |||
**{{SSBU|Meta Knight}}'s default eye color is also yellow, though his eyes do change into a crimson color in these circumstances. | |||
