===Tier placement and history=== | ===Tier placement and history=== | ||
Ridley was a widely requested character, so excitement followed his announcement as playable. However, initial opinions of Ridley's viability in the E3 demo build were very negative. Due to one of the largest hurtboxes in the game, while not himself a super heavyweight like similarly large characters, along with his attacks suffering from poor frame data, many people claimed that Ridley's disadvantage state was too risky for him to make a significant impact on the meta. This perception remained in the early metagame, and although Ridley saw some success in the early months after a brief stint from {{Sm|Tweek}}, who placed 5th at {{Trn|Collision 2019}} with Ridley, many agreed that Ridley was at best a low tier character. | |||
As time went on, dedicated mains were able to see sparks of success with the character. During the early metagame, {{Sm|Nair^}} notably defeated {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}} at {{Trn|Mexican Gaming Championship}} and was ultimately ranked top 10 in Mexico. Even after the online metagame, in which Nair^ picked up {{SSBU|Hero}}, he continued to garner solid results with Ridley, including a win over {{Sm|Sparg0}} at {{Trn|SWT: Central America Ultimate Regional Finals}}. In addition, the post-pandemic metagame saw the rise of many other Ridley players, including {{Sm|momon|p=Japan}} and {{Sm|smub}}, players who saw great success at superregionals and respectable placements at majors. Most notably, {{Sm|Mezcaul}} became a regular threat at European events, and has been regularly ranked in the top 150 globally since 2021. Furthermore, players began taking more note on Ridley's strengths, specifically his excellent advantage state, which allows Ridley to utilize his range, speed, and power to provide him with a strong and versatile neutral game. These positive developments improved Ridley's perception, leading the community to reassess Ridley as a mid tier. This is reflected in Ridley's tier list placements, as he was ranked 60th on the first tier list as a lower-mid tier character, then ranked 64th on the second tier list in the C-tier; Ridley's drop on the second tier list is mostly attributed to the rise of {{SSBU|Incineroar}} and {{SSBU|Lucario}} in the metagame. | As time went on, dedicated mains were able to see sparks of success with the character.

Ridley's default fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Ridley has been unlocked. Unlocking Ridley in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. His Meta Ridley outfit has a fighter spirit of its own, available through the shop, or by completing a challenge (Smash: ''Use Ridley's down special, Skewer, for a critical hit on an opponent 4 times within a single battle''). Each fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in ''Ultimate''. | Ridley's default fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} as Ridley.
