'''Wing Blitz''' ({{ja|リドリーチャージ|Ridorī Chāji}}, ''Ridley Charge'') is {{SSBU|Ridley}}'s [[up special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].''

==Overview==
Ridley charges his energy whilst cloaked in a purple aura before flying straight upward. Unlike similar moves which can be freely angled, Wing Blitz has a total of four possible trajectories, which are dependent on the direction inputted: slightly downward when angled forward, slightly upwards when angled backward, straight up if left alone or held up, and diagonally downwards if angled downward (which [[meteor smash]]es opponents). Because of its uniquely fixed angles, Wing Blitz can take some time to learn, especially if the player is accustomed to recoveries like [[Fire Fox]]. The move deals damage to enemies along the way, with the entire move acting as an unchanging hitbox, and the tackle doing excellent knockback throughout. If Ridley hits a wall while flying upwards, forwards, or backwards, he will rebound with some vertical momentum before becoming [[helpless]]. Colliding with the ground while flying downward will instead produce a weak impact hitbox slightly wider than Ridley himself. It has minimal knockback and damage, but can potentially disrupt punishes.

Ridley's wings are [[intangible]] during Wing Blitz and, thanks to the attack's high damage, will typically beat attempts to challenge it. This makes Ridley's [[recovery]] surprisingly well-guarded and even capable of sniping the [[ledge]] from below, making Ridley decent at ledge camping. The wing intangibility can also be used to force Ridley's way through weak projectiles and attacks that lack [[disjoint]]ed hitboxes, such as {{SSBU|Mario}}'s [[Fireball]]s or {{SSBU|Ryu}}'s grounded attacks. Due to a lack of [[armor]] on the move, though, it is risky and requires some precision to use effectively. Additionally, [[stale-move negation]] will make this tactic worse with repeated use.

Wing Blitz can be used as an [[edgeguard]] by jumping and aiming downward at the edge, letting Ridley hit the opponent before grabbing the ledge and [[meteor smash]]ing them. However, down should be released right as Ridley starts the attack, or he will miss the ledge and [[SD]].

==Origin==

Throughout the ''Metroid'' series, Ridley has never used his wings to directly attack. Rather, this move references his flying capabilities without breaking the mold of ''Smash'', similar to [[Fly]].

This move also resembles an attack used by Meta Ridley in ''Metroid Prime'' and Omega Ridley in ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', in which he charges at Samus at high speeds after spreading his wings, while the down-angled version is reminiscent of Meta Ridley and Omega Ridley's diving kick attacks from the same games.
