Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Palutena's Guidance - Ridley

[@notspoopyghost1334]

Palutena: Mind the sharp barp on his tail!
Ridley: **proceeds to beat the shit out of Pit with anything BUT the tail**

[@larniieplayz6285]

Lol

[@chadpeterson5698]

This pretty much confirms that the Metroid manga is canon given that that's how the origin of Ridley killing Samus's parents was born.

[@AuraChannelerChris]

I mean, it's been always a fact that Ridley killed Samus's parents. Even Other M points that out.

[@Kanerudo]

@@AuraChannelerChris yep although it's unsure if Other M is still considered canon or not.
Many things didn't make any sense like Samus' breakdown when she saw Ridley after fighting and defeating him like 6/7 times (3 in the first three main games, 4 if you count Mecha-Ridley, and three more times in Prime)
I'm not only talking about the fanbase but the creators as well

[@AICW]

@@AuraChannelerChris It was never "always a fact" until the manga began publishing in late 2002. The Super Metroid comic from 1994 was the first to establish Samus's backstory, and it never said anything about Ridley killing her parents, it just said they died in a Space Pirate bombing raid on K-2L.

[@IamCanadian3333]

@@Kanerudo It is in fact canon. It explains Ridley's and the Zebesian's presence in Fusion, not to mention, in Dread, there are ending art galleries that depict Other M.
The PTSD scene was just bad writing, nothing more. Bad writing =/= not canon. (Like it or not, Thor: Love and Thunder is still canon).

[@psychogunner7062]

"So what's the story behind him and Samus?"
"Ridley murdered her parents, ate their bodies then killed her adoptive parents, kidnapped her adopted baby..."
"..."
"He's just that messed up."
*Ridley screeching in the distance*

[@PresMan36]

I hate it that Palutena mentioned them *OUT OF CANON ORDER!*
It goes Ridley, Mecha Ridley, Meta Ridley, Omega Ridley, Ridley the Baby Metroid snatcher, Ridley clone and Neo Ridley.
Jeez Palutena. Get your timeline right.

[@Dresden061]

And now, the ridleys of prime are out of canon

[@revolvingworld2676]

Nope Metroid Returns made the Prime Ridleys canon

[@cartrellsplunge1525]

She's still right about one thing they are all defeated by samus because samus is a beast

[@wildfiresnap]

So detailed...wow! And it is ridiculous how many forms he has

[@samuelalicea5513]

1:52 Ridley: (roaring)

[@MegaFafnir]

I find Ridley comparable to the Shredder as seen in the 2003 TMNT series, in that the heroes have to battle many different incarnations of both.

[@bluubuds5212]

RIDLEY CONFIRMED

[@danielcreed2328]

So Ridley is the leader of the Space Pirates.
Wouldn't "Captain" fit much better than "Leader"?

[@cherryshark9170]

More of high ranking commander along with Kraid, Dark Samus, Mother Brain, Aurora Unit 313 when it was corrupted its speculation Gandrayda along with Master Brain, Phantoon, Draygon, and Robo Ridley

[@briannageelhaar7503]

Did someone say Kirby? 😂

[@carlitolol1435]

IS THAT CANON?

[@jackofalltrades417]

Wait, Kirby's an alien?

[@RbDaP]

Yep. Kiby 64 even shows a future (assumed) Earth and all

[@Gwendolynpoole616]

Obvs

Who is Jury?

[@AuraChannelerChris]

It's just an expression.

[@MBnobody420]

Ah, I see.

[@kwagz3314]

Like a court jury.
