'''Ridley''' ({{ja|リドリー|Ridorī}}, ''Ridley'') is | {{cquote|''The purple dragon<br>strikes with his tail and talons<br>Ridley's bottom 5''|cite=Ridley haiku by [[Masahiro Sakurai|Daddy Sakurai]]}} | ||
'''Ridley''' ({{ja|リドリー|Ridorī}}, ''Ridley'') is the worst playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was painfully ridiculed during Nintendo's 2018 E3 press conference, on June 12th, 2018, after which he was forgotten by the entire community. Ridley is classified as bottom 5. | |||
Similar to {{SSBU|Bowser}} and {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}, Ridley has no voice actor, because his data was too big that it used up his voice clips slots entirely. Instead, he pulls from garbage data for his voice, resulting in excruciating, ear-raping screeches that went completely unnoticed during development. | |||

Except for the third method, Ridley will be found on [[Norfair]], where he will automatically self-destruct because he's bottom 5. | |||
==Attributes== | ==Attributes== | ||
Ridley is | Ridley is too big. Ridley is bottom 5, certified by the best ''Super Smash Bros.'' player in the world, {{Sm|ZeRo}}. Therefore, Ridley has no hope. Because so much data had to be taken up for Ridley to even fit into the game, his moveset is barely functional. However, it is believed by some members of the community that Ridley is still worth using, despite how bottom 5 he is. | ||
' | Nevertheless, several players have tried to achieve significant results with Ridley in tournaments, all of which have eventually suffered from intense psychological pain because of how much they've heard "too big" and "bottom 5" around them. These players have all gone for the easiest solution: dropping Ridley, a bottom 5 character, for {{SSBU|Wolf}}, the best character in the game. Wolf can always win any match with no effort, so as soon as any player picks him up, they will forget about Ridley. Poor character. Oh well, at least he can crawl, unlike Metroid. | ||
' | Ridley has several 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 is also rather easy to [[punishment|punish]] due to some of his best attacks having noticeable ending lag. His options against projectile users and zoning is rather poor, despite having 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. Overall, Ridley's vulnerabilities give him difficulty against characters with better frame data and edge-guarding/pressuring tools. | ||
' | Another weakness, while not as significant as his susceptibility to combos and projectile pressure, is his laggy and rather 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 it's 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. | ||
' | Ridley's competitive potential is no 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, big size, and general difficulties in survival. This can be further expressed by his tournament presence, where Ridley is a relatively unpopular pick, yet displays bottom 5 results wherever he does show. Because of this, Ridley is generally considered unviable. He's too big. | ||

Alternatively, if the attack button is pressed quickly for each hit, the second hit transitions into a rapid-fire tail stab that ends with a swing. The third hit is relatively strong for a neutral attack, KOing middleweights under 200% from the center of {{SSBU|Final Destination}}. Conversely, the neutral infinite's finisher has high base knockback, but very low knockback scaling, being unable to KO under 500% from center stage. | ||

Can be [[angle]]d, and the tip of Ridley's tail acts as a [[sweetspot]]. Has long range and moderately low ending lag, making it a powerful [[spacing]] tool. The sweetspot KOs at around 155% from center stage. | ||

|utiltdmg=7% (wing), 9% (tip) | |utiltdmg=7% (wing), 9% (tip) | ||
|utiltdesc= | |utiltdesc=Swipes one wing in an arc above himself, starting from behind. 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. | ||

|dtiltdmg=6% (tail), 9% (tip) | |dtiltdmg=6% (tail), 9% (tip) | ||
|dtiltdesc= | |dtiltdesc=A low tail swipe. Has long range like his forward tilt, and launches opponents upward, allowing it to combo into aerial attacks at a wide range of percents, as well as an up-angled forward tilt, dash attack, or up tilt (against larger characters) at low percents. | ||
|dashname= | |dashname= | ||
|dashdmg= | |dashdmg=12% | ||
|dashdesc=A | |dashdesc=A leaning bite. A powerful dash attack especially near edges, KOing at around 100% at the edge of Final Destination, and at around 160% from the center. | ||

|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|20}} | |fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|20}} | ||
|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= | ||
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|17}} | |usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|17}} | ||
|usmashdesc= | |usmashdesc=A frontflip kick, covering Ridley's entire overhead. 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. | ||
|dsmashname= | |dsmashname= | ||

|dsmashdesc=Leaps and slams his open wings onto the ground. Hits Ridley's | |dsmashdesc=Leaps and slams his open wings onto the ground. Hits both of Ridley's sides simultaneously with large coverage, and 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%. | ||
|nairname= | |nairname= | ||
|nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}} (clean tail), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (clean tip), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (late) | |nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}} (clean, tail), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (clean, tip), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (late) | ||

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. | ||
|fairname= | |fairname= | ||
|fairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|3}} (hits 1-2, tail), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (hits 1-2, tip; hit 3, tail), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7}} (hit 3, tip) | |fairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|3}} (hits 1-2, tail), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (hits 1-2, tip; hit 3, tail), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7}} (hit 3, tip) | ||
|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. | ||
|bairname= | |bairname= | ||
|bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU| | |bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|15}} | ||
|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. | ||
|uairname= | |uairname= | ||
|uairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (wings), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|14}} (tip) | |uairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (wings), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|14}} (tip) | ||
|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. | ||
|dairname= | |dairname= | ||
|dairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|14}} (clean feet), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (clean legs | |dairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|14}} (clean, feet), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (clean, legs; late) | ||
|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. Resembles a move Omega Ridley uses in ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'' where he stomps down. | ||

|nsdesc= | |nsdesc=Spits a fireball from his mouth forward, which bounces along the ground. It can be charged to have Ridley spit up to a maximum of five fireballs, which also increase in size and damage, dealing up to 28.3% if all of them connect. 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. The recoil animation lasts 56 Frames. | ||

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. | ||
|dsname=Skewer | |dsname=Skewer | ||
|dsdmg=5% (tail), | |dsdmg=5% (tail), 40% (tip, hit 1), 10% (tip, hit 2) | ||
|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. | ||
|fsname=Plasma Scream | |fsname=Plasma Scream | ||

|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. | ||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *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. | ||

**The way Ridley twirls Mario's hat | **The way Ridley twirls Mario's hat bears a striking resemblance to Mario in the beginning of the reveal trailer of ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Odyssey}}''. | ||
**The part where a {{b|Metroid|creature}} attacks Ridley | **The part where a {{b|Metroid|creature}} attacks Ridley before a [[stun]]ned {{SSBU|Pikachu}} is likely a reference to the ending of ''Super Metroid'' when the Baby Metroid protects Samus from [[Mother Brain]]. | ||
*The moment Ridley appears in his introductory trailer resembles his appearance in '' | ***It also resembles a pivotal point in his boss fight in ''Metroid: Samus Returns'', where the Baby Metroid saves Samus from Ridley by leeching some of his energy. | ||
* | ***The fact that it is Pikachu might also be a call back to [[The Research Facility (Part II)|their previous encounter]] during [[the Subspace Emissary]]. | ||
****Coincidentally, both Pikachu and the baby Metroid save Samus in a similar manner in their respective games, with Ridley in both instances briefly clutching his head and then roaring with rage. | |||
*There | ***Interestingly, Pikachu also appears on Pyrosphere in the 2014 Smash Bros. Direct [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xUWnQu2Grs&t=7m18s when Ridley's appearance as a boss character on that stage was first teased.] | ||
*Ridley is the only playable character from the | *The moment Ridley appears in his introductory trailer resembles his appearance in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', just before his fight. This includes the way Samus looks at the screen, Ridley's entrance animation, and music timing. | ||
*Masahiro Sakurai stated in an interview that Ridley's down taunt is among his favorite taunts in | *Ridley is the second ''Smash Bros.'' boss character to become playable in the series after [[Giga Bowser]] and the only boss character to be playable at all times, as Giga Bowser is limited to [[Giga Bowser (Final Smash)|Bowser's Final Smash]]. | ||
* | *There is an error on Ridley's page on the Latin American and Canadian French version of the ''Smash Bros.'' website. The reveal trailer videos are unavailable, with the Latin American version mistakenly linking to a Japanese ''Mario Tennis Aces'' video.<ref>[https://www.smashbros.com/es_LA/fighter/65.html][https://www.smashbros.com/fr_CA/fighter/65.html]</ref> | ||
** | *Ridley is the first and only playable character from the ''Metroid'' universe: | ||
**That's not a variation of [[Samus Aran]], and therefore does not have "Samus" in his name. | |||
**Who is male rather than female. | |||
**Whose animations are mirrored. | |||
**Who cannot [[wall jump]] and lacks a [[tether]]. | |||
*[[Masahiro Sakurai]] has stated in an interview that Ridley's down taunt is among his favorite taunts in the game.<ref>https://nintendoeverything.com/sakurai-on-smash-bros-ultimate-tempo-items-changes-and-additions-choosing-taunts-much-more/2/</ref> | |||
*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''. | |||
*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. | |||

*Ridley | *When Ridley decided to join the Villains Club, the team decided to make a clone of him and named him "[[Meta Ridley]]", in case the original Ridley gets killed off. This explains why two Ridleys appear in [[:File:SSBU_challenge_image_054.png|this picture]]. | ||
