i like how every villan has a motivation to be a villan, but Ridley? no... he just wants to see everything around him *p e r i s h*
Maybe I’m missing something, but does Purple Guy have a logical motivation? Also, please don’t think I don’t understand the joke.
@@Hatguy_the_395nd maybe the death of his son, the crying child
edit: yeaah immortality.
Bowser: me want *woman* bcuz pie
Ff
Yeah, if you stop to yhink of it it's very... "Ff"unny
I like how Ridley just casually kick flips Mario while going at 680mph
s k a t e b o a r d s .
He didn’t kick flip him he Nollie impossibles
Askyour DadYT thanks for the correction, I don’t know much about skateboarding or anything like that.
Yes big oof
"NEW" SUPER SKATE BRO'S!!
Ridley's immense speed actually makes sense due to his ability to fly into space which would mean he could be capable of reaching ESCAPE VELOCITY, roughly 25200 Miles per hour or Mach 33. And this isn't taking into account Ridley's OTHER ridiculous abilities. He is capable of surviving in the vacuum of space for extended periods, his skin is durable enough to withstand numerous hits from high-explosive missiles and directed energy weapons, he has the ability to project streams of high-intensity plasma from his mouth, his regenerative capabilities are incredible, and he's an extremely intelligent tactician and naval commander. His title, Cunning god of Death, is well earned.
Kirby is far superior.
Edit: I'm not joking. Kirby will literally eat ridley alive. If anyone cares enough, I will elaborate.
@@Azatosu You don't need to... Everyone knows you don't fight Kirby, you fight to survive being consumed by him.
and yet he is an enemy in a video game making him worse than you
@@alexcat6 he isn't fully consuming, nor copying ur ability, nor is pink, this is someone different (If you mean the Zelda gsme)
@@Lev_Malygin macke shur u no gramer
The scary part is that we cant account for how much Ridley himself is pushing down into the asphalt, because it's one thing to let your body "fall" onto someone but it's another thing to also use your muscles to really mince them into nothingness, and also Ridley's slouched so he would also be taller therefore adding even more weight
Wow it never crossed my mind that the character who Impales you with his tail, blows up spaceships and is literally called the cunning god of death is the most dangerous fighter.
ä Romy HD god bless your futaba picture
Are you Futaba or, are you a Persona 5 fan?
I know, right?
uwu
what a souprising
To anyone complaining about Ridley being taller than MatPat stated:
In this case it really doesn't matter. It just makes him even heavier, and thus, more destructive.
But he also used average human measurements for all of his calculations, despite some of the fighters not being human.
Well, sure, YOU’RE gonna die, but something like Kirby might have different enough anatomy to survive. Or maybe that armor on the FE characters, or Bowser. Really, I’m just saying he should have addressed this.
But we want to know his height in smash!
Just... To know
Yea that was even worse that I thought
But why not

Side B of Ridley is very scary. Not just when it grabs you, but the fact that it can drag you right into the blastzone in a few seconds
Luigi: Hey Ridley, where's Mario?
Ridley: *Gone, reduced to atoms*
Luigi: woohoo player number 1
Ye.
@@ilikepigeons6101 Mamma Mia, I’m-a gonna be a suspect for-a murder.
That’s why Ridley wad my main
Kirby: Hold my godlike power
My friend: where's my character gone?
Me, playing as Ridley: gone, reduced to atoms.
Literally
So true
I used the character to destroy the character
if even that remains
I used smash bros to destroy smash bros
Ridley was the character i wanted most in the game. Hearing he could impale using his tail was enough and then i saw his side B and my brain went "Damn, Theyre dead." Makes me love the guy more to be honest. Id love to hear how fast Ridley can fly, We know he can fly in space which would have way less forces acting on him, we know he can fly faster than F-Zero and Samus`s ship. How fast can he truly go? Near speed of sound in an atmosphere then he be tearing through space or foreign atmospheres.
I absolutely love when an entertainer makes themselves laugh. The calculator bit was fantastic.
The scary part is that Ridley was SLOUCHING. Ridley's down taunt makes him stand up even _taller._ Including how the weight was the _lightest possible weight_ of the American Alligator, this just makes this *a lot scarier.*
Except that there’s no way of knowing how large Ridley is. Olimar is canonical about an inch tall, which clearly isn’t true in smash. When playing with smash, you play with smash psychics, meaning this move performed twice only hurts as much and jigglypuff falling asleep on you.
I've never heard someone call slouching scary until today
He has another scary move I think where he litterally stabs your character with his tail
I can not belive how OP Ridley is;
@@robsonrobson6378 Fun Fact: Ridley is based on the Xenomorths from Alien series.
First he killed Mega Man and Mario, then Sonic with that one glitch and now this. Ridley is slowly murdering the whole cast.Thanks for featuring my video BTW :)
Amazing
Love your channel subbed long ago, awesome you watch Game Theory too!
Remind me again who is faster than who 😂
You know ridley makes him taller with is up taunt or down taunt
You can actually keep up on the track itemless as little Mac by either right b or right up button you can just jump over and over
Ridley, he isn’t insane, he does it on purpose, he loves to see death, he is, The Cunning God of Death
I lost it when you made Ridley tre flip Mario. This video is absolutely hysterically accurate. Job well done!

Why is everything dangerous PURPLE?
Purple is red and blue mixed both gender colors they have no care for anyone or anything.
@@Bleepbleepblorbus gender-fluid evil
Purple is my favorite color now. It represents everything I love, from movies to symbolism, etc.
Purple is best color.
Purple has the lowest frequency among the visible colors on the light spectrum, technically making it the most dangerous color we see.

I feel like matthew played a match against someone with ridley and lost, and now wants to prove that he actually won
How so?
probably steph
*slow clap in the back round*
Hmm maybe
But srsly i will do that
Whoever won Ridley killed something
Another reason why Ridley is in my Top 3 favorite Nintendo villains. The dude looks like he came from DOOM Eternal and pushes PG to the limits.
I used him basically just because he's a dragon, now I think he's on a whole other level.(Also, love the intro music)
Mario: Hey where's the roster?
Ridley: Ummm see the road lines?
Mario: Yea?
Ridley: That's them. That's the roster.
Wii Fit Studio: Exist
Ridley mains with their side b: I know this is a dead meme but..
*IT’S FREE REAL ESTATE*
Yeah....
And you are next #unnecessaryedge
hello doctor.
how is your research of the great pestilence going?
He actually got Ridley's height wrong. His down taunt shows that he's EVEN TALLER than what was calculated in the video. Which, really only makes this move even more deadly.
Isn't his weight possibly wrong as well? I don't see Samus's suit being over 440 pounds (but I could be very wrong) yet Smash's weight scale places her above Ridley.
@@trmp3tply3r3 weight is there for balancing and does not reflect a character actual weight
For example look at sephiroth who is as light as Kirby and the reason he is that light is so that he doesn’t break the game
I noticed this too his legs not full stretched and his back is arched all that but still gotta say he may not weigh much as some would want bc u know hes like the skinniest dragon ive ever seen besides literal bone dragons hes just about
So this means Ridley’s side special is even deadlier than what MatPat came up with
same so your rong matpat
It also makes a ton of spirit battles that are on walk-off stages or close blast zones like Colosseum a breeze. Drag the CPU and let go right before you go offscreen. It makes farming SP with no spirits equipped so much faster
It makes me wonder if Meta-Ridley would weigh more, thereby doing more damage.
you missed an important detail. Ridley is hunched over in smash. his down taunt has him stand up straight. he's WAY taller than 25%
Nieve Angeletti Well, that's kind of irrelevant, since you can't do any more damage to your opponent if you already literally turned them into ashes
Angel Mendez-Rivera grind them out of existence maybe?
M3assassinTC Given the nature of Ridley's attack, that would be impossibke regardless of how much force you put into it, since it would violate the law of conservation of energy.
@@angelmendez-rivera351 2 weeks too late to the party, but I still have a few balloons to give out anyway.
So, technically no... it wouldn't break the law of conservation of energy: because that law ONLY states that energy cannot be create or destroyed, only altered from one form to another... says NOTHING about a person.
The Human body (and other living organisms, in general) constantly exchange energy and matter with surroundings. For such open systems, law of conservation of energy is not applicable, meaning congratulations... Ridley can apply all the force he needs to grind his target into oblivion.
Condemned Crimson I find it REALLY cute that you, a random Internet stranger, are trying to educate me, a trained physicist with several degrees, on how the law of conservation of energy works.
This video posits that Ridley grinds their opponents to death such that their bodies desintegrate into particulate matter disjointed at the atomic level. This is consistent with both conservation of matter and energy. However, the comment of grinding them out of existence implies grinding the matter itself out of existence. This is what I claimed is impossible. It is impossible precisely because it is equivalent to violating energy conservation. This is because while you can convert atoms into non-atoms, those non-atoms are still matter. Even if you break the nucleus of the atom apart into flying protons and neutrons, you still have matter. Protons and neutrons are, by definition, matter. More specifically, baryonic matter, of the hadronic type. Neutrons may decay into protons, but these protons and neutrons can never be grinded "out of existence," because that is violation of conservation of matter. You cannot turn fermions into bosons, and even more, you cannot simply destroy fermions and turn them into literal nonexistence. It does not work like this. This is simply impossible by the laws of quantum physics.
Anyhow, what this does mean is that grinding *anything* out of existence is simply impossible, because such a command is even stronger than simply grinding it into particulate matter. And a person being dead is not quite the same as not existing, and if it were, then saying that grinding a person into particulate matter is not already synonymous to grinding them out of existence is stupid. Either way, that makes me correct in both scenarios.
Nintendo: *releases a game with a rating of E for everyone*
Matpat: THIS IS THE DEADLIEST GAME OF ALL NINTENDO'S HISTORY
e10 plus
IT IS
ITS E10+!!!!!!
E10+ but okay.
i just realized matt didn't measure ridley standing up, he was still slouching.
I imagine if ridley had a voice he would be laughing meniacally as hedrags them across the floor
Mario: Hey Ridley where is Kirby?
Ridley: Gone, Reduced to atoms.
Hello my ridley friend *hugs you*
😂😂😂😂 Avengers Endgame reference
i knew it i knew it
i k n e w i t
fatalety
Kirby: P O Y O
Do you realize that Ridley’s down taunt shows him fully standing up so the numbers are even higher
If Sakurai said that Ridley was “too big for Super Smash Bros” (even though he already has Donkey Kong, Bowser, King K Rool, and Ganondorf), but still added him to the roster anyway, then there is hope for Kraid.
Clicking on this video i completely expected you to talk about the skewer attack, where he has a chance to completely penetrate through the opponent's body with his tail
MatPat: Why Ridley is Smash's Deadliest Fighter!
Me:* thinking about being inside kirby's mouth, being processed into a star, then being pooped out by a buthole not visible to the naked eye *
Oop now kirby can do whatever ridley is doing

@@gremboW then... Uhh.. this might sound a little profound, but watch the video?
to be fair, ridleys up taunt makes him stand straight, while just being neutral he is basically slouching to the ground
Ridley is the embodiment of gamer back posture (the pain…)

Ridley: *runs away faster than people’s heart rate after smash was announced*
@@thepigprotector4673 Than runs into Kirbys warp star (that travels faster than the speed of light)
yes.
I’m a Ridley main, not because I play Metroid, because he’s a giant fire breathing pirate space dragon that looks sick.
He should calculate if Mario's forward aerial attack would snap his opponent's neck or straight up get rid of the head altogether 😂😂💀💀
Comparison of Ridley and Thanos:
Both purple
Both turn people to dust
and they both live in space.
And their both scary as hell
Both have died multiple times
they both killed people's parents.
They are both hated by smash
Thanos: I can turn half of the universe into dust.
Ridley:hold my beer
Ohhhhhhh Thanos,you have a lot to learn
More like hold my liquified samus
@@knifecat4347 What left is there to hold?
@creeper king her suit
Ridley will win. This is how Endgame should have been😎😄
This is why ridley deserves the title of being the cunning god of death after all.
Meta ridley in metroid prime was big enough(and had enough metal on him) to probably weigh 10 tons
I cracked up when ridly flipped Mario like a skate bord
Me too lol
Yeah, that was great.
its great
Me to LOL
This video:*exists*
Kirby with a gun: I’ll stop you right there buddy
Lmao
Kirby in his games who is said to have infinite power even thought he is an 8 in toddler and 200 years is the time it takes for him to become an adult: Are you sure about that?
Also kirby:Am i a joke to you
Lmao Smash World videos be like
Like the Flex Tape guy (Phil Swift) said multiple times, "That's a lot of damage!". I loved the video.
I actually want a video about the lore of the game called Clicker Heroes.
That actually fits Ridley pretty well since he is the cunning god of death
14:59 Wait, well...ridley is hunched over though. Whenever he uses his taunt, he straightens up his back
I was going to say that too.
I was to write a coment about it, but you already did it so thanks.
You can see the original model is also crouched
was just gonna say hunched over.
And would an alligator be a good allegory for his weight? The thing can fly, so wouldn't something like a pterodactyl be a better stand in? But I don't think the change in force would actually be a substantial factor given the coarseness of the surface and the speeds that he is travelling.
*TO DEMONSTRATE THE POWER OF FLEXTAPE I SAWED THIS JIGGLYPUFF IN HALF*
NOW THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE
HOW ABOUT A LITTLE MORE?
AND I FIXED IT WITH ONLY FLEXTAPE!
More like grinded it in half
@@sleepy_yuu8152 hahahahahhahahahahahaha! Now thats comedy.
We all thought Kirby was the scariest character in smash but turns out it was Ridley all along
well, ridley has a pretty violent attack... i think it fits the character very well
MatPat: can I interest you in a new game theory?
Me: I would love to but I should probably be studying for my physics final
MatPat: say no more
Matpat: “like any good racing game, it has a speedometer”
Mario Kart: Am I a joke to you
Or burnout 😂
Actually, Double Dash has one! I think MKWii does too, but I'm not sure.
Ff
Cohen Smith: ""
Mario Kart 64, DD, SC: Is that a threat?
est-ce une menace? es eso una amenaza?
Please bring back the Speedometer from Double Dash.
Ridley actually was going 13.603 times the 50mph road rash. If he did that to someone, they are gone. Ridley needs correction fluid, and he likes his red.
MatPat pain tolerance at the end of the video is incredible XD
The best part is that this isn't even his final form. Ridley literally flies through space with his wings. Imagine a literal spaceship grinding you against the floor.
Which makes me think... If Samus is able to combat a creature with strength and speed comparible to a space ship, how strong is Samus?
According to some comics i've heard about TOO OFTEN on the vs forums, she's continent levels of tough. As in, explosion that reduces Asia to a crater, doesn't hurt her. So i'd say that checks out.
MATPAT EXPLAIN!
Theory time!
Honestly a good mayority of the cast could be able to survive this...
That's why the topic of powerscaling (determining in a tier list sort of way who is the strongest) every smash character is pretty appealing to me.
Wop
Hey Ridley, where’s Mario?
*Gone. Reduced to atoms*
Lol😂😂😂😂😂
This is actually true
Reality if often *satisfying*
Smash bro’s creator (I can’t spell his name): that’s my boy
@@Mac1081 Sakurai?
That might explain why Sakurai hesitated to include Ridley.
Ridley was already my main because I just love dragons but this theory makes the choice even sweeter
“Because spirits are broken and this game is fun” the most true statement about its game

How
Kirby smashes the fighters with his warp star in his down throw, This has been shown to go at speeds that transfer kirby through multiple universes in like 10 seconds. The damage he caused must be atomic or something. He's literally insta-killing them.
You also gotta factor in some characters with shells, armor, thicker skin, etc
RIDLEY: *low tier*
MATPAT: WHY RIDLEY IS THE DEADLIEST CHARACTER
Ridley:now I’m high tier
Matpat:you’re welcome
Ridley isn’t low tier
He’s pretty good
@@mrmeep2047
No one is really low tier in smash ultimate lol everyone's pretty balanced, so yeah u right
ZeldaFan: Everyone’s *balanced.*
Little Mac: Am I joke to you?
You used Ridley's idle stance and not the taunt where he stands up to full height so the damage would be worse
YES I am glad someone else noticed this!
sup dude sell Samus crouches down too, she stands up to full height in her idle animation
Ye
I was going to say that as well
Damn...
My favourite thing about ssbu is that everybody there so much effort putt into designing every single character and then there is Steve who's like 100 pixles
I did not expect Ridley to be able to just OBLITERATE HIS OPPONENTS RIGHT INTO THE GODDAM GROUND
Why Ridley so deadly?
Two words:
Down. B.
+ Damage increase through Spirits.
Imagine the pain that your opponent is going through!
Ridley: I wish I had something to rub away this puny human
Ground: Allow me to introduce myself.
Grinding INTENSIFIES
He FINALLY gets to the point at 4:23.
Asriel: I am the god of Hyperdeath.
Ridley: *Wanna bet?*
You should have used Ridley's standing taunt when calculating his height
Good point
Exactly Ridley is hunched over when he’s chillin
in ridley's sprite he's hunched over so...
@Lawrence Dollens when ridley's neck, torso, and knees are all pretty close when you are hunched then it will make a difference
I love how Ridley is riding Mario like a skateboard and doing kick flips on him.

Ridley could be flying into the ground, putting all that speed diagonally, more force, more death, more special edition red asphalt.
When I saw the thumbnail my first thought was that his most deadly move was the skewer since it literally shoves a small knife in you chest. But this makes more since
“Hey Ridley can you sharpen my pencil?”

you need to remember ridleys model is slacking a bit, so if you use one of his taunts he actually stands up, making him abou 4in taller
him speaking friction brought back memories of physics class
If people get third-degree road rash at 50 mph, and Ridley is dragging fighters along at 0.88 mach speed, then his victims should have realistically been torn apart almost immediately
FOXY lover just read better
Well most characters in the game have survived far worse so it wouldn’t have that much of an effect
