Overview

Ridley (リドリー, Ridorī) is a character in smash bros.

Summary

Ridley , the Cunning God of Death , wreaks havoc against foes using disastrous attacks that strikes fear into the opponents eyes as he tediously stabs and claws his way into his unrivaled aerial game to get the finishing blow.

Pros

Cons

High Range & Damage: The latter half of his tail being a disjoint combined with his massive range and high damage output allows him to deny opponent's approaches, contend other disjoints, and the ability to string or combo with most attacks.

Tippers: All moves that use his tail or wings, besides Down Smash, have a tipper mechanic attached to them. This allows him to use tippers to kill early and use sourspots to combo or string into more moves.

Strong Ledge Game: Broad aerials, multiple jumps, and Plasma Breath allow Ridley to easily challenge recovering opponents and pressure them at and/or off ledge forcing opponents to recover uncomfortably. Also has access to many two frame attacks.

Glass Cannon: Gets comboed or zoned easily and susceptible to loads of damage or even stock lost for having one of the largest hurtboxes and lack of a superheavy's weight. Most moves have high startup and endlag with most tending to cover cardinal directions making him vulnerable diagonally, forcing him to play safe with spacing as much as possible.

Predictable Recovery: While having one of the best ledge games, Ridley's Side and Up Special’s long startup make his recovery path predictable and easy to intercept. Up special’s lack interchangeable angles add to this issue and make recovering with Ridley a skill to master.

Lack of Shield Progression: Ridley’s out of shield options are pitiful with his fastest move, Neutral Air, being frame 11. Shielding forces him to reposition after blocking giving additional unwanted pressure. The majority of his moves do mitigative shield damage limiting his shield pressure to mixing up with a combination of movement.

An amazing get off me tool that can get Ridley out of many hard pressured situations. Having an average jab 1 compared to other fighters, being active starting frame 4. This move is great for jablocking into almost every move Ridley has, most notably Side Smash.

This move can grab items immediately upon using the move, allowing Ridley to dash far and attack while also grabbing an item directly in front of him before leaping forward. As Ridley’s body shifts forward during the move, Dash Attack’s long dash can be used to put a hitbox past ledge to catch opponents trying to grab ledge from above the stage. Although not recommended, this move can actually two frame certain characters on ledge. This makes it good as a burst option to catch ledge regrabs if needed.

Ridley notably leans back before thrusting his tail forward, allowing him to shift his own hurtbox and dodge attacks While high range, Ridley can only angle the sweetspot in one direction making punishing the angled straight version susceptible to being short hopped over by smaller character while the angled up version can be punished by sliding moves, such as Cloud Down Tilt, very easily. This move is deceptively large inside Ridley with a big sourspot allowing it to catch misspaced rolls. This is particularly useful for ledgetrapping when the opponent tries to roll from ledge through Ridley only to be sent back out. While this move’s sweetspot has respectable kill power, the sourspot has very poor knockback scaling that can send the opponent far but only kills at really high percents. This move’s sweetspot, while on the tip of Ridley’s tail, has a small overlap with sourspot causing hits with the base of Ridley’s tail tip to often register as a sourspot hit. It is recommended that Ridley players visualize the sweetspot being the upper half of Ridley’s tail tip to land the sweetspot better. Ridley’s forward tilt is one of Ridley’s most important moves in general with the move’s sweetspot being one of Ridley’s greatest poke tools due it’s high range, power, and relative safety on shield. Each angle of the move also serves a critical purpose in Ridley’s gameplan outside of its role as a kill move. Angled straight is a great grounded poke tool in neutral, Angled Up allows Ridley to stuff out short hop air approaches from very far away, and Angled Down’s sweetspot can hit ledge making it Ridley’s premier 2frame tool.

Up tilt is a good anti-air when the opponent is directly above Ridley and is hard to deal with as it hits high and a large portion of the wing is disjointed. This is especially apparent when the opponent is on a platform above Ridley, allowing him to pressure the opponent to jump which can then be read by a full hop aerial depending on positioning. Despite Up Tilt’s strength in covering directly above Ridley, this move can be somewhat poor in covering diagonally in front of him. The move is frame 8, but starts behind him and takes a couple frames to reach diagonally in front of him at frame 11. This limits its use as an anti-air on reaction to characters attempting to jump in on Ridley diagonally to start a combo, something that which is unfortunately a common scenario. It can be more useful against opponents jumping in if Ridley turns around before doing it, but risks being slower to input and exposes Ridley’s back towards the opponent where his already poor out of shield game is at its weakest. This move at very early percentages doesn’t immediately true combo into Ridley’s aerials and requires a bit of percent before follow-ups become guaranteed. Landing an Up Tilt on a grounded opponent at mid-percents allows Ridley to combo into other moves including Up Air which can serve as a kill confirm (insert chart here for Utilt Uair kill confirm chart). This move has intangibility on Ridley’s head and arm on frames 8 and 9 to help it anti-air better but comes up very rarely and does not help the anti-air weaknesses explained above.

This move has extremely long reach and can be used to poke and stuff out grounded approaches from very far away, making this one of Ridley’s best neutral tools on the ground, especially after a dash back pivot. The move’s sweetspot at the end of Ridley’s tail unfortunately does not have great knockback and props the opponent straight up, making any true follow-ups at all percents impossible. Despite its lack of true follow ups, sweetspot Down Tilt at low percentages is a good way to check how your opponent reacts to being hit as it gives the opponent limited frames to act before Ridley can close the gap. If Ridley discovers the opponent tends to airdodge in this scenario, it can be used to read or bait an airdodge before following up with another attack, grab, or even Skewer if reading a neutral airdodge at the right distance. Keep in mind however that the opponent jumping away prevents any kind of follow up but can then be used to chase down their landing or reposition.

One of Ridley’s scariest moves as it has no sourspots and has a lot of power while also being slightly faster than most heavy smash attacks in the same power range. Ridley leans back before the hitbox comes out, making very good at whiff punishing after a dash back or simply timing it to dodge the opponent jumping in. Positioning this move properly at ledge so that the bottom of this move’s hitbox touches ledge allows it to be a nasty 2framing option that can end the opponent’s stock at mid percents. The top this move’s hitbox has the opposite effect in the sense that it actually hits relatively high making this move difficult to short hop over.

Due to its hitbox, its recommended that players reverse up smash to catch opponents in front of them as the start of the hitbox is slightly lower. This isn’t perfect however and some characters in landing animations, especially small characters can still bypass this move if they land in time. Ridley’s entire leg is a disjoint during this move making it one of his best, albeit slow anti-airs that can challenge anything directly above him. This move has extremely long range above Ridley, essentially creating a semi-circle of hitbox that, when positioned properly, allow Ridley to cover entire platforms with proper timing to add more percent or kill off of a mistech.

16.0%22.4% Max Charge	24-27	57	85	-22 to -19-19 to -16 Max Charge	-

This move has an absolutely massive hitbox hitting nearly a Ridley away on both sides alongside hitting deep below Ridley and somewhat above the ground to not make it entirely useless against opponents on the ground. This of course makes it a strong 2framing option with its 4 frames of hit detection, although the move’s slow speed can hinder it as the charge of the move happens frame 2, requiring the user to let go 22 frames ahead of time. A whiffed down smash at ledge is also much more easily punished. It’s recommended that this move be reserved for covering opponents attempting to recover high to ledge or as a “checkmate” move after a ledge regrab. Unsurprisingly, this move’s large hop can jump over and high profile low hitting moves making it a premier option for dodging get up attacks after mistechs or a skewer. In the corner with proper timing this move can even cover every option. One most competitive stages, down smash can cover the entire platform which can allow near guaranteed followups after a mistech/skewer. This can also be a niche bait option for players underneath Ridley who try to hit from below with an aerial only for Ridley to hop over their move during down smash’s start up and slam down for hard hit capable of occasionally stealing stocks around 90-100%.
