Ridley’s not insane. He’s sadistic. He knows EXACTLY what he’s doing, and he loves it. Every drop of blood spilled, every life taken, every city burned, every planet scorched, he takes joy in it all.
@@pkmntrainerred4247 Fun fact: when he met Samus as a child, she offered him a flower, and in return, he killed the entire colony, making sure to, and taking pleasure in, kill Samus' parents in front of her. There's a manga where it's revealed that he takes the fact Samus survived personally, that's right, he considers the fact he missed a child while wiping out an entire colony to be an insult! So yeah. Psychopath might be too nice a term.
Ridley is like a psychatic murderer who takes joy in his work. Gannon does what he does as being the reincarnation of hatred and such. King k rool is just a mad scientist who wants to starve some apes. Bowsers just a king trying to expand his territorry. Dedede is just a king with a rivalry to kirby.
@@basilisk4428 so are psychopaths and seriel killers. As well as sociopaths. They are all aware of what they are doing however they tend to not see the wrong in it.
I used to wonder why the Space Pirates didn't do much pirating, then it hit me. When Ridley took over, they weren't just pirates. They were a personality cult for Ridley. This is a violent psychopath that took over a species of dangerous but simple-minded (i.e. stupid) pirates to use as a vehicle for more carnage. It only makes sense that he'd ally himself with the omnicidal Mother Brain. Her goal is Ridley's pastime; death.
*Calls every other song from Alex perfectly normal* *Conveniently forgets that the last proper song from Alex was about Ghirahim, who is probably just as much of a sadist as Ridley*
This voice actually works well as Ridley's. Just human-like enough to portray his intelligence and cunning, but animalistic as well, showing his vicious nature and love of destruction and conquest.
The concept of this monstrous being intelligent intrigues me.Its one of the reasons I like Ridley. It seems that people kind of fear having something more intelligent than them because most humans have the desire to be in control. This is one thing that make Ridley do terrifying.
Jewel 91 if Ridley has a Disney theme moment and then showed it to kids they would be shitting themselves harder than most people do when eating Taco Bell
It really does help to emphasise that he's called a god in the Metroid series and it feels like the Space Pirates are the ones singing as his loyal followers prepared to devastate the cosmos on his behalf at any moment.
I'm remembering Ridley in the origin story manga had a soft spot for cute things...and it didn't make him any less terrifying as he expressed it while watching a burning town and inhaling its smoke. And he ate Samus's mother only moments later. Its showed he can go from a normal person to his more well known self the instant he has a target that's not beneath his pride to give attention to.
I think he was just bullshitting Samus and was relishing the fact that with how cute Samus was, her suffering would be even better. So he was letting her guard down with full intent.
My favorite thing about Ridley is that he is this hyper intelligent stragetist who leads the largest criminals in the GALAXY And he chooses to be naked and comunicate by screaming
What makes Ridley one of the best Nintendo villains is that he is not a simple animalistic creature with no complex thoughts, he is an extremely smart psychopath who takes delight on the acts he commits.
K.rool is inbetween Ridley and Ganondorf, despite his goofyness he is insanely delusional to the point of going on a genocide out of sheer hatred. Unlike Bowser, he lacks any respect or motivation. He Just does it, because he can. And because he can, he has to. I hope more people see that krools personality isnt a cartoonier version of Bowsers, and that Ridleys personality is more than mr. Killer dragon evil.
That's what makes him so terrifying. He's more than just a merciless monster who lives on the thrill of bloodshed. He's an intelligent strategist with the brains to not only command an intergalactic army, but even build a robot in his own likeness
It feels oddly.... cathartic (and badass) Just makes imagine a star turning red and immediately exploding devastating afterwards, destroying a whole solar system, all because of Ridley.
I love that Ridley isn't just a random dragon that destroys and has no free will, nah Ridley knows damn well what he is doing, he could have been a protector of the galaxy, but he BATHES in suffering.
"A-are you... Mr. Ridley..? I-I'm... Samus. Th-three years old... You're not scary... I'm perfectly fine... E-even if you look different... W-we can still be friends...!!"

I'm fairly certain that "Earned" is the wrong word here, more like, Slaughtered the last guy who had it and stole it for himself, and then burned his planet for good measure
I'm also surprised. Then again Sakurai always prefers Kirby over Mario Ridley: yeah you're right, I would have killed Kirby if Sakurai let me but noooooo, Sakurai said that I can't because he wants to show Kirby favoritism. In other words Sakurai is a party pooper. Me: sheesh, that's deep.

I don't know. None of his game sounds sre ever really deep. Their high-pitched and kind of scratchy. First thing that comes to mind is the ubholy screech he has in Fusion.
Is it just me, or is there a slight mechanical sound in Ridley's voice? Like a voice coming through an abused speaker? It does to me and it reminds me of the fact Ridley isn't completely organic anymore. Like his Meta-Ridley state.
I guess Ridley was just too big to properly fit into Smash Bytes, and needed his own song as such. Now that I've taken the low hanging fruit, gotta say that these lyrics really do capture the energy and fury that Ridley's theme has. Just really drives home exactly why he got the nickname of "Cunning God of Death".
@@spinomania1921 Well Dark Matter does what he does because it is a being of the void. It is his biology. Dimentio at least wanted to create worlds in his place. Ganondorf at least wants to rule, even as Calamity ganon he still reanimates his monsters. Ridley does nothing of the sort. It is not part of his biology, it is sadism in his purest form. While the space pirates goal is "supreme domination", i think it is akin to wiping everyone else out, considering Mother Brain and Ridley are their leaders.
"I wrote this the day i got struck for repeating contnent. It was good therapy" Well, it seems so, because almost every sentence has death or bloodshed and destruction in it I think you gonna need more too, because if the result is this, just wow
Yes, but do you ever wonder if Ridley might also enjoy his own pain as well as others, encouraging him further to find someone that can put up a good fight (Samus)?
*[Bad guy meeting in smash]* Bowser: I kidnap princess peach everytime ! Ganondorf: I dominate Hyrule and haunt generation of hero and princess ! King.K.Rool:I steal some bananas ._. King Dedede:I'm not a villain anymore... Dark pit: Im just edgy... Dark samus:Well... I think Ridley want to say something Ridley: 00:05
Ridley is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun to draw! You got any more Metroid song covers that need art, I'm your girl. :3 Also, Alex, you NAILED this song with the voice and lyrics! Definitely one of my favorites so far.
@@skeletonwarrior9393 Attention, Man on the Internet: The Space Pirate Ridley, Otherwise known as the God of Cunning Death, is in your city. You may wish to run.
Also Ganondorf: also Sakurai's wants to bury me rather than celebrate me. Meanwhile the less iconic Kayuza gets all the attention, heck Sakurai nerfed Min Min because she beat him while playing as Kayuza
I am of the understanding that, and feel free to correct me if I am wrong, I _think_ Ridley likes murder. At least somewhat. Crazy, I know. Just the impression I get.
Just a friendly reminder: Alex no doubt had to do countless warm ups in order to get the tone just right. If any of you are planning to cover this song, save your voice and do the proper warm ups.
@@nstvrt9572 I am just taking a break from being in Subcon forest. This song is a perfect way to get me back into collecting souls. Even Snatcher Kid is with me here.
I know I’m a bit late but I love how as the song continues, Ridley sounds more like more aggressive and monster (which he is both physically and metaphorically) A nice touch as he gets more sinister, great songs as always!
DylDyl 55 actually ,this is just what I think btw, Chara is actually just given the blame because she is the one that tells you thing in the pacifist rout she is giving frisk her determination but in genocide it wasn’t Chara giving frisk that determination it was the player and Chara only went along with it because you made her
Bowser: hires a chorus, thousand dollar mic, and preps his voice Ridley: whips out a heavy metal guitar that's twice his size, 4 times his weight, and stomps on his microphone before setting it right on his nose, all while chugging red bull and snorting crumbled cheetos
Yeah, you can still portray psychopathic serial killers really well even in pg-13 movies, Joker from dark knight and Hella from Thor ragnarock are great examples, Ridley would just have to be a whole lot less comical than those two
Thought to be to big, thought to be too scary, sakurai surprised fans around the world. And now Alex pleases smash fans with the ultimate space pirate Ridley, with lyrics!
I mean, he's clearly intelligent. Why wouldn't he learn English/Japanese/"The Common Tongue"? I mean, he doesn't just kill people, he also raids, pillages, and I'm sure has had to interrogate information out of someone. Not to mention anything the Galactic Federation uses is probably written/encrypted in that language.
I now have the image of ridley trying to kill kirby. We all know how powerful kirby is, so he'd probably just grab his tail, snap it, then proceed to inhale his face.
@@IndiestSnake Ridley could probably outfly kirbys inhale. Ridley Outraced Samus' Gunship, flew from SR388 to Ceres and from Ceres to Zebes, both in a fairly short span of time, placing his speed MASSIVELY over the speed of light.
@@pointe3347 He would be as fast or faster than Meta Knight who flew from Planet Pop Star to the the center of the galaxy in just a few minutes or seconds Ridley has to be one of the most powerful characters on all of Nintendo's gallery
meanwhile people are saying its edgy, and your there saying that his voice is calm and soothing, THEN THERES ME CURRENTLY STUCK HITTING THE REPEAT BUTTON.
In the Manga, when Samus was just a small child, he killed Samus's parents right in front of her, then laughed about it. He would have killed Samus too if the Chozo hadn't shown up.
@@ocatelix288 Chara didn't wipe out universes, they erased it, killing no one. Besides, the Genocide route in Undertale only involves killing about 100 monsters. Ridley does genocides and wiped out multiple entire planets. I am pretty sure each planet consists of about at least 10 million inhabitants, while Chara kills 100 monsters each reset. Chara will have to reset about a million times to even get a fraction of Ridley's kill count.

I don't think you've yet to do a song _this_ intense on the channel, with things like, Megalovania, Battle With Magus, and Amalgam not even scratching the surface. And the lyrics? Oh honey, you _nailed it._
Ridley is without a doubt the best villain of nintendo. He is just absolutely evil beyond salvation, i love it. Metroid in general is the best nintendo thing ever, it's so mich darker and more adult then everything else. And i like the games more.
I can see it now. Bowser is sitting playing the piano singing "peaches" when ridley bursts through the wall kool aid style shredding on the electric guitar singing this
Lmao at that video description. Guess this came at the perfect time for you. "Another world is soon to fall, another mark upon the wall." Very dynamic. Something as large and impersonal as the world is compared to just one of many remains of a violent and personal crime. It really paints Ridley's indifference to anything.
*Lyrics:* Bring the fuel to stack the fire! Pile the bodies ever higher! Hear them running! Hear them screaming! It's the end of all your dreaming And your blood is what I crave!

Holy crap, this is amazing! It perfectly suits Ridley's demented and savage nature, his sadistic and narcissistic personality, and his frightening power and intimidating presence.

You are awesome for making this, and to prove it, you've just obtained a new subscriber! This is truly amazing. HAIL TO THE CUNNING GOD OF DEATH!!!
I was one of the people who for years dreamed of Ridley getting in. It took all of ten seconds for this song to have me smiling like an idiot. If there’s any Nintendo character who would say “Pile the bodies” it’s this psychopath
You know one thing that I’m in disbelief over? The fact that Nintendo killed both the last game’s big hype character and their own flagship star just to introduce one character.
Holy shit, the savage, gleeful wickedness of your Ridley voice was so spot-on for this! This cover is AMAZING. Seriously, I hope you find an excuse to sing as Ridley again in the future, 'cause you killed it like it was Samus's parents.
This is awesome! Kylie Ann’s art is great and the lyrics fit Ridley really well and Alex’s performance puts the cherry on top. This really fits Ridley’s “Imma kill ya” vibe.

I'm also surprised. Then again Sakurai always prefers Kirby over Mario

His voice is so scratchy, it fits perfectly.
True
Eh, could be a bit deeper
Could be a bit deeper but I like the voice either way it fits him pretty good
I don't know. None of his game sounds sre ever really deep. Their high-pitched and kind of scratchy. First thing that comes to mind is the ubholy screech he has in Fusion.
Is it just me, or is there a slight mechanical sound in Ridley's voice? Like a voice coming through an abused speaker?
It does to me and it reminds me of the fact Ridley isn't completely organic anymore. Like his Meta-Ridley state.
I guess Ridley was just too big to properly fit into Smash Bytes, and needed his own song as such.
Now that I've taken the low hanging fruit, gotta say that these lyrics really do capture the energy and fury that Ridley's theme has. Just really drives home exactly why he got the nickname of "Cunning God of Death".
To be fair "cunning god of death" badass title and this shows why people fear him enough to call him that
There's a joke I can respect
ridley makes the other nintendo villians look like adorable and nice people next to him
Ganondorf?
Very much. He’s called the Cunning God of Death for a reason.
Dark Matter?
Dimentio?
@@spinomania1921 Well Dark Matter does what he does because it is a being of the void. It is his biology.
Dimentio at least wanted to create worlds in his place.
Ganondorf at least wants to rule, even as Calamity ganon he still reanimates his monsters.
Ridley does nothing of the sort. It is not part of his biology, it is sadism in his purest form. While the space pirates goal is "supreme domination", i think it is akin to wiping everyone else out, considering Mother Brain and Ridley are their leaders.
@Aurelio Deprimus And I’m almost certain he’ll turn on MB when all’s done.
"I wrote this the day i got struck for repeating contnent. It was good therapy"
Well, it seems so, because almost every sentence has death or bloodshed and destruction in it

I love how Ridley sounds so vicious. Ridley in the Metroid series is said to deeply enjoy the pain of others.
Yes, but do you ever wonder if Ridley might also enjoy his own pain as well as others, encouraging him further to find someone that can put up a good fight (Samus)?

Did you know that he already was as edgy as he is now?
Did you?
Sadly I didn’t read the manga but I saw vids and he did talk, I was amazed
@@Bro_that_cant_sleep and just so you know the manga Ridley is canon so yeah.
You know this is Nintendo's most brutal character when he literally kills of the face of Capcon and Nintendo in less than 15 seconds.

Just a friendly reminder: Alex no doubt had to do countless warm ups in order to get the tone just right. If any of you are planning to cover this song, save your voice and do the proper warm ups.
And the frustration he felt during that time must've been a major factor if u ask me

Ha when my headphones come out of my jack the video pauses
I know I’m a bit late but I love how as the song continues, Ridley sounds more like more aggressive and monster (which he is both physically and metaphorically) A nice touch as he gets more sinister, great songs as always!
Why did you let Ridley write his own lyrics?
Because he knows himself better than anyone.
DylDyl 55 actually ,this is just what I think btw, Chara is actually just given the blame because she is the one that tells you thing in the pacifist rout she is giving frisk her determination but in genocide it wasn’t Chara giving frisk that determination it was the player and Chara only went along with it because you made her
@@GS-cx6sz Ah shit here we go again
@@ascendedsparky2516 indeed
You gotta admit he did a pretty good job
Me: aw yeah v.s Ridley
*Starts song*
Also me: JESUS CHRIST
Bowser: hires a chorus, thousand dollar mic, and preps his voice
Ridley: whips out a heavy metal guitar that's twice his size, 4 times his weight, and stomps on his microphone before setting it right on his nose, all while chugging red bull and snorting crumbled cheetos
That’s one heck of a guitar.
If a Metroid movie ever gets made, I think it would automatically get an MA rating just for a well written Ridley’s sheer presence
You mean R? I think PG-13 would be appropriate for a Metroid live action film.
@@RisingBeast00 yeah, I just forgot how movies were rated in the moment
Yeah, you can still portray psychopathic serial killers really well even in pg-13 movies, Joker from dark knight and Hella from Thor ragnarock are great examples, Ridley would just have to be a whole lot less comical than those two
PG-13? Metroid is based on Alien and has a lot of messed up horror that is incredibly sanitized by Nintendo to make them playable for all publics.
Thought to be to big, thought to be too scary, sakurai surprised fans around the world. And now Alex pleases smash fans with the ultimate space pirate Ridley, with lyrics!
@Luca-Robert Stewart Bowser is pretty much as big as he wants to be.
As the Metroid Manga suggested Ridley knows English, I'm gonna accept this as his voice.
Same, its so fitting
I always imagined him having the voice of Darkseid from Superman TAS, just more screechy and reptilian.
I envision him having a more inhuman voice like Baraka from Mortal Kombat 11
I mean, he's clearly intelligent. Why wouldn't he learn English/Japanese/"The Common Tongue"? I mean, he doesn't just kill people, he also raids, pillages, and I'm sure has had to interrogate information out of someone. Not to mention anything the Galactic Federation uses is probably written/encrypted in that language.
yesssssss
Ridley: it's the end of all your dreaming! 😈
Kirby: *confused screaming*
I now have the image of ridley trying to kill kirby. We all know how powerful kirby is, so he'd probably just grab his tail, snap it, then proceed to inhale his face.
@@IndiestSnake Ridley could probably outfly kirbys inhale. Ridley Outraced Samus' Gunship, flew from SR388 to Ceres and from Ceres to Zebes, both in a fairly short span of time, placing his speed MASSIVELY over the speed of light.

@@ocatelix288 Chara didn't wipe out universes, they erased it, killing no one. Besides, the Genocide route in Undertale only involves killing about 100 monsters. Ridley does genocides and wiped out multiple entire planets. I am pretty sure each planet consists of about at least 10 million inhabitants, while Chara kills 100 monsters each reset. Chara will have to reset about a million times to even get a fraction of Ridley's kill count.

I haven't played the game either but I watched enough videos about it so i get the gist of the story more or less.

As someone who has played some Metroid games and fought a variant of Ridley, this seriously rocks
I don't think you've yet to do a song _this_ intense on the channel, with things like, Megalovania, Battle With Magus, and Amalgam not even scratching the surface.
And the lyrics? Oh honey, you _nailed it._
I love how Ridley slowly gets crazier and crazier further through the song. You can hear it more towards the end.
Literally ridley when he got the invite to smash
He immediately decided “ight let’s kill mario and megaman”
Ridley is without a doubt the best villain of nintendo. He is just absolutely evil beyond salvation, i love it. Metroid in general is the best nintendo thing ever, it's so mich darker and more adult then everything else. And i like the games more.
"AND YOUR BLOOD IS WHAT I CRAVE!"
he says, fighting steve from minecraft
"All scream out their final breath to the cunning god of death" that sent chills down my spine ngl
I can see it now. Bowser is sitting playing the piano singing "peaches" when ridley bursts through the wall kool aid style shredding on the electric guitar singing this
Ridley: Are you ready to rock!
This is legit the BEST ONE YET. Proves how frickin' badass Ridley really is.

"Another world is soon to fall, another mark upon the wall." Very dynamic. Something as large and impersonal as the world is compared to just one of many remains of a violent and personal crime. It really paints Ridley's indifference to anything.
When Nintendo goes dark, it's almost always great.

I think this confirms that ridley is the most violent Nintendo character
a confirmed, repeated space genosis(person doing genosid).
HOW IS THERE ANY DOUBT
Holy crap, this is amazing! It perfectly suits Ridley's demented and savage nature, his sadistic and narcissistic personality, and his frightening power and intimidating presence. Ridley is claws-down my favorite Metroid character, and quite possibly my favorite Nintendo villain, and you went above and beyond with his theme song! You are awesome for making this, and to prove it, you've just obtained a new subscriber! This is truly amazing.
HAIL TO THE CUNNING GOD OF DEATH!!!
I was one of the people who for years dreamed of Ridley getting in. It took all of ten seconds for this song to have me smiling like an idiot. If there’s any Nintendo character who would say “Pile the bodies” it’s this psychopath
Being a Ridley main myself and hearing these lyrics, this is so true!
“Where is your sweet mother… here? Or here?”
Joke about this song being leaked, just like everyone besides K. Rool, Inkling, and a few echoes
You know one thing that I’m in disbelief over? The fact that Nintendo killed both the last game’s big hype character and their own flagship star just to introduce one character.
Ridley: I forced Nintendo to let me do that.
Holy shit, the savage, gleeful wickedness of your Ridley voice was so spot-on for this! This cover is AMAZING. Seriously, I hope you find an excuse to sing as Ridley again in the future, 'cause you killed it like it was Samus's parents.
This is awesome!
Kylie Ann’s art is great and the lyrics fit Ridley really well and Alex’s performance puts the cherry on top. This really fits Ridley’s “Imma kill ya” vibe.
