Plasma Breath is Ridley's neutral special move.
Overview
Pressing the special move button causes Ridley to rear back and charge a fireball in his mouth, and either after a brief time or by releasing the button, releases a stream of fireballs that bounce on the ground. The longer the special move button was held, the more fireballs he spits out.
While charging the attack, Ridley receives a special hurtbox on his mouth. Should an opponent attack hit him in this hurtbox, the fireball will explode in his mouth, dealing damage to himself and leaving him momentarily stunned.
Origin
Ridley has had the ability to spew fire in nearly every one of his appearances, though the move in Ultimate specifically hearkens back to its functionality from the first Metroid game, where he spits several fireballs in succession and they bounce along the floor, forcing Samus to carefully dodge them or freeze them to avoid damage.
In the Metroid Prime series, Meta Ridley gains a weak point in his mouth. Whenever he opens it, either to roar or to charge and fire a plasma attack, and the player shoots at it enough, he either becomes dazed and open for attack (in Metroid Prime and as Omega Ridley in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption) or takes damage (as Meta Ridley in Metroid Prime 3). Both of these effects are reflected in Smash.
