Okay, peeps. Who are we covering next week?
ROB
Incineroar
Zelda
Lotta people underestimate the robit. Cover the last of the R.O.B.s next week.
How about R.O.B and Shulk?
Forgot something really important about Ridley. His Up-Smash can be used to cover entire platforms.
would you recommend i set c stick to tilt or smash attack?
Elliot Shearer thank you bro!
And down smash
1:30
Ridley has a pretty dominant air game compared to other heavys
King Dedede: Ah,a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary
Let’s just stop comparing dedede to everyone. He’s a definite top tier, and jack of all trades, and an easy pick for beginners(*ahem* all of my friends)
Ridley isen't a heavy. He's lighter than Samus
@Tristen Matkowski Mewtu is also lighter than Pikachu sooo...
@Tristen Matkowski He could be. How else can he fly if he's not light?
@Tristen Matkowski Well if it's fiction, he doesn't necessarily need to be heavier than a woman in a power suit.
Considering Ridley isn't that big in Smash, and is also quite thin and presumably light-boned like pterasaurs, I can believe him at least being the same weight as Samus. I'm not as sure about him being lighter though...
Ridley is an underrated character imo. He's pretty interesting (then again, I find all the Metroid characters in Smash interesting to play)
Ridley suffers from a duality complex; his biggest strength is punishing, and his biggest weakness is having stylish moves that are very punishable.
I kinda wish they didn't set dark samus as Samus's echo and gave her special stuff (check assist trophy from smash 4)
Space pirate rush is the best name for a move I've ever heard.
It is also, my bands new name.
Ridley knows how to name his moves. This Space Pirate Dragon monster has class.
Plasma Breath!
Space Pirate Rush!
Wing Blitz!
Skewer!
Plasma Scream!
Hmm, his Final Smash actually has the most boring name...
@@vengeflyking2722 You had me until that last sentence, I really like the name for his FS 😅
E V Guess it’s a thing of preference. By the way what‘s up with these villians abusing their FS in order to bully their arch enemy???
@@vengeflyking2722 Hey nice, another hollow knight player
Skrill Raincutter Heh yeah that’s me! I main Ridley because he’s the closest to my intiminidating appearance! At least with that blue skin.
11:36. As a ridley main im just pretend i never heard that
.
The move is so good imo tho
Personally I think up B is way better as a spike option.
Dair is kinda good as a combo breaker and it kills early and comes out at frame 11
Good for squashing aggressive opponents
"His down smash kills at around 100%... for lightweights"
*shows Samus, who is heavier than Ridley*
It really do be like that
Faldoror Laridon still think Ridley should be a much heavier character smh
@@nathanflinchum1153 I wouldn't mind it so much if they made his Up-B less terrible; why does the FLYING SPACE DRAGON have a hugely limited and exploitable Up-B? Why?
@@faldororlaridon2691 you mean down b. ;)
And charges it half way.. also not safe on Shield. Only good for 2 frames.. this is one of the worst guides I have ever seen.. coming from a Ridley main. You get more info from Kuroganehammer.com from the frame data.. please stop.
I think it's worth mentioning the extra damage Ridley takes if he gets hit in the mouth while charging neutral B
Is it a reference to a boss battle in Metroid? I haven't gotten to him yet 😅
If there’s anything I know from playing Ridley against my friends who use counters a lot, it’s just:
YOU CAN’T COUNTER A GRAB
grabbing a Sword character with that side b and throwing them under the stage (then get hit by the up b) is extremely satisfying.
Since you already did Joker, do the other DC character, Robin
Did you, or someone else, comment that on the Bayonetta video?
@@lucky_gambler_1 Maybe xD
Where is Batman? XD
Ridley's long boi taunt makes him top tier.
😆
Best taunts in the game. Wolf had the best in brawl but they got rid of his “what’s the matter scared“? Line
I would like to mention the Ridley’s up B can spike your opponent off the stage if you use it from above. It’s rare, but if you’re above the edge while your opponent is also trying to get back, you can punish with an up B downward.
This is a very rare thing, though, and it’s very risky.
You don't need to hold B to do the jump throw for pirate rush. Just press B before the animation ends and before they get out. It's really fun to grab people of ledge and throw them under the stage.
Holding b makes him jump as possible
Love how even in 8 player matches the skewer puts ALL the attention on you for a sec
The Smash Community: You realize your character is low-tier, but you still play him anyways and enjoy it
Ridley Mains: *Y e s.*
Why is Ridley a pretty good character?
He's good at spacing
That’s why he’s Ridley good
@@edwardmiles9718 Nice
BU DUM PSHHHHHHHHH
Ayy! Good 1
As a loyal Ridley main I aprove of this video
How do you typically approach with Ridley?
@@UltimateTS64 I also am a ridley loyalist, to be completely honest until you master the moveset youre going to be mainly playing the patience game and counterapproaching, but if an opponent is being especially aggressive you can neutral air to get him off you and set yourself up for a combo with the right DI reads. Also F smash and down smash are godly at the ledge
@@UltimateTS64 you can always side b f air n air down tilt or ledge camp
Yessss, bow down to me, your LORD
@@spongeOfMystery4 it cant be ridley?
**picks up guide**
**looks inside**
“Side B goes as fast as Big Blue”
**A S C E N D E D**
*faster than big blue*
Ridley is one of my favorite characters in here and I'm happy you did a video about him
Cailie Isidro Who?
I would like to point out that you can do Ridley’s side B to get closer to the edge and then an up B for recovery, granted this is not always possible in certain situations, but it works.
side B can also be used to counter some edge guarding techniques, the timing and spacing is difficult as all hell to get down but once you get it figured out it works in most situations.
I like how they gave ridley a move that does more damage than most final smashes.
It’s a pretty bad move. No super armour, tiny sweet spot, no knockback. This is prob the worst big move out of all the big moves like falcon punch, warlock punch, etc. it may do high damage but it doesn’t even combo into anything or end any combos
I'm so happy Ridley became my main. I love that bastard
Still your main?
THIS VIDEO IS SO COOL
I GOTTA ADMIT THAT I SUCK AT RIDLEY BUT YOU JUST MADE ME 10 TIMES BETTER
It's really easy to play,hell i can say he's one of the easiest characters in the game to learn
How are you bad with ridley? He's so easy to play
Ikr,as a ridley main i can say he's one of the best characters for newcomers
@@-shockwu-1698 hes actually fairly hard to play. Even the proguides website said he was one of the harder fighters to play
Ridley’s difficult in a different way than most characters. His play style is simple and easy to learn, but is also very susceptible to exploitation in terms of recovery and endlag. So, on the opposite side of the spectrum, he’s also easy to take care of.
Down B doesn't have any follow ups?
Well they have 4 options
Roll away from you-this can be covered by a side B always
Get up attack- can be dodged and hit with a down smash always
Roll towards you-can always be covered with a Down smash
Or
They can do nothing in which you can F smash or just give em another down smash
I've been waiting for someone to make a video where they mention follow ups to ridleys down B and the mind games that ensue as soon as you hit with it but I guess this was not the video for it.
Like if they're too close to the ledge they might try a get up attack but if you hit it center stage they might be trying to just get away using the roll away.
ruclips.net/video/yzDNNQYYIHw/видео.html
This guy talks about it.
Something you missed is that his up b angled down spikes. Amazing move if you’re ahead and want to style on your opponent recovering
Some extra Pro tips for ridley
If your lucky enough to land a skewer, always follow up with down smash, unless you're confident they will roll away, then use side special instead.
When recovering, use side special into upward up special when recovering low, don't aim your recovery foward unless you have no other option.
Fireball really fucks with terrible recoveries use whenever possible, but to get the best distance, go to the edge of the stage, then short hop away to get the fireballs to hug the ledge perfectly.
Down taunt to assert dominance

... Anyone else imagine Ridley leading an army of xenomorphs?
YES
“But it does have a very small sweet spot” *hits Samus in the lower groin 5:36
2019 Choctopus: You should listen to zero!
2020 Choctopus: ........................................
gonna be learning how to play Ridley in honor of Etika
thats why i have been maining him now too. i used bowser and Corrine before.
CHIAKI
I want Ridley as my secondary . My main is ness right now and my play style is *mental torture*
As a Ridley main this video needs to point this out:
-single press B to spit one fireball to stall opponents running towards you and combo them.
-up B and aiming it down can spike if correctly timing it when the opponent is recovering. Don’t hold down as you fly down or you won’t be able to grab the edge. Just tilt the stick down long enough for the input and then let go.
-down A can stop some upward projectiles, such as Ness’ pk thunder and Peach’s turnips. In Ness’ case it comes in handy since his attack animation is long and you can cancel his thunder, fall quickly on top/next to him and combo him.
-Use side b to punish rolls. Same with skewer.
-With heavy characters, there’s a 50/50 chance that right after using down throw and using skewer, you’re gonna land the hit.
I love the flavor of Space Pirate Rush. SSBB showed Ridley slamming Samus into a wall and dragging her across it (and the Metroid games canonized it as a signature move of his), and after all these years when he's finally playable he has a "drag peoples faces across surface" ability. Perfection.
Does seem a little odd flavor-wise to have a character who canonically has big-ass wings and spends so much time in the air to only have three jumps and an incredibly finicky UpB. I personally wouldn't mind a little more of his power pie shifted to mobility and recovery and a little less from some other category (Kill potential? Weight?), but that's nickpicking of a character who very mostly fits the fantasy of "Ridley" from a very casual player. I'm just happy the sadistic demon got into the Smash roster.
“Wait, what’s this, an ad?
Hey, I gotta eat too.”
Choctopus, 5/17/19
Breaking the fourth wall.
Choctopus make it look easy huh 😆
"for lightweights"
SAMUS IS HEAVIER THAN RIDLEY
By 1 weight
Suit
I didn’t refer to Samus as a lightweight. Notice how her damage percent is higher than what I refer to as the lightweight threshold.
Choctopus Notice how when talking about lightweights you have Ridley damaging Samus on screen which leads viewers to infer that Samus is a lightweight even if you never explicitly said so. Also you called Ridley a heavyweight which he isn't.
@@poopheadtwenty-seven540 Ridely is considered a heavy-weight by majority of the SSBU community. Hes the same weight as ike, Simon, richter, and wario. The problem is hes TOO big for his weight despite him being a heavy weight. He should be a super heavy like dedede, bowser, and king k rool.
I didn't realize his skewer did freaking 60% if landed right, good god
Your videos always seem to amaze me
“Learn advanced techniques like dash dancing!” Move the stick side to side.
I always thought of dash dancing as something of an advanced tech. simple concept but infinite in application.
Hopefully ZeRo teaches smashers how maintain good hygiene too.
Apparently that's an issue. Maybe because I haven't been to that big a tournament, I've never had that issue
Hopefully he taught them not to solicite nudes from minors.
@@davelabonte7806 you're right! No one wants to see a filthy solicited set of genitals. Ew...
Please finish the rest of this series. Choc u rock
It should also be noted that his up smash’s hitbox starts towards the back, so if you wanna get the hit in faster, turn around first, then use it. Most people coming down don’t expect it to hit that quickly, and it’s pretty reliable.
Can you do How To Play Mewtwo, since he got more popular since 3.0.0?
I love the vid😄. Can you please do dark pit next?🙏
I don't know if this has already been discovered with ridley🤔 but I was messing around with ridley and found out that you can do down throw into up angled f-tilt at low percents, and it also sets up for a jab lock. So if you get grab with ridley at 0 to 10 percent you can get 50 percent.😎
Just found out that the whole down f-tilt thing into a jab lock is not a new discovery. So..... I just look really stupid right now
@@ethanschubkegel1627 its okay lol
up smash: *exists*
Choctopus: this is a great anti air
Can the next one be Robin? I want to play against one of my friends with him/her and I want to learn more of his/her movement.
Hopefully Kirby is next
Side B can be cancelled any time by pressing B again, his down B can be turned into a 50/50 after hit by using his down smash to cover 3 options (roll towards you, neutral get up/delayed get up, and wake up attack) or use his side B if they roll away. Also, his up smash covers entire platforms on battlefield like stages
The video for me :) Can you do ice climbers next?
Yar har fiddle de dee! Who-
Oh, wait, SPACE Pirate...
I mixup you can do with recovering, if your close enough to the stage and you do the Backwards slightly up up b, you can hit the wall of the stage and bounce upwards even further, you can space it to where it’ll snap to ledge but it’s pretty risky if it doesn’t, since your open to everything.
Why is everyone saying Ridley’s recovery is either bad or restrictive, I main Ridley and I am very rarely unable to recover.
It’s not bad necessarily, it’s just really awkward, and there are some cases where you can’t recover as Ridley. Then again, he has his side B for extra distance, and three jumps, so other than his weirdly angled up Bs, his recovery is pretty good
I think its because its just unconventional and people dont understand ridley has a pretty good recovery, just takes a little practice
Sonic: I am the fastest
Ridley: This is Space Pirate Rush
Side B can also be cancelled later on in its rush. Dont hold B, simply bress it or the jump button again when you want to fire the target away.
Also, his up B when used on stage and to the side will go to the side and slightly UP ^^
I love how ridley has such a fixed facial expression for his jab. It just looks so funny.
As a Ridley main, I use his down air fairly often in off stage and position obtaining. It cancels out a lot of ranged attacks, and even jabs get neutralized. Other things I abuse are his side b on stages like green hill zone or mario bros. Or I use his command grab in combination with his down b and then up dodge and recover for off-stage fighting. It's a really risky maneuver that only really works when you have high percentage and/or a stock you can lose, but the opponent is almost always going to fail the recovery.
Yesterday I landed down b against my friend playing Ivysaur, he chose get up attack and it didn't even reach me so I got another free down b. I wonder what other characters can't reach Ridley with their get up attack out of skewer, cause against those guys if they choose that option then it's a lot of damage really quickly.
Down throw to down b does work at low percents, provided the opponent doesn't react in time. There is a small window where they can do an aerial, so be careful.
I've been looking forward to this
Also worth noting that Ridley's Up Smash will completely envelop ENTIRE platforms.
As a current Ridley main I’m glad to get tips from videos like this to help improve.
Amazing and rounded video as per usual. Willing to see R.O.B next week
Love your vids! I always pick up the featured character to beat my friends with, this series has really helped me expand my pool of characters! Would love to see Yoshi next :)
have you seen down throw on the edge of the stage with a fair chain always gets them cheeky stocks
Had no idea about the hold B after side B thing. Thanks!
Right on time! Just picked him up. He’s fun as hell. That third jump and nair is damn good.
Down air can be useful if you have a stock lead and your opponent is below you when you are on ledge, as long as they are right below you
Correction, the final jab is actually a bite, not a headbutt
Good vid but just so you know, you can press the jump button to immediately cancel the grab. I've got so many kills by doing the space pirate rush off stage (especially against foes who are edge-guarding at the very end of the stage).
Also for recovery, if you are off-stage horizontally, it is always better to use side B to close the distance first, Ridley's up B is most reliably going up so just use it when you are close to under the stage.
That "headbutt" that looks like a dance is actually a bite
plz make samus next i am getting better thanks to you and i just want to get better at samus plz do her next
Yeah I main samus too
Do u play as rob
So first spam roll to any side of the stage
Charge up charge shot
Shoot and if it misses roll to the other side
Charge up charge shot
Shoot and repeat for 7 minutes
Nuclear Tree thanks I will try that
His backthrow only does 1% less than up throw! Also between 0-10% down throw into skewer is a 50/50 mix up. Been maining him basically since I settled on a main and hes super fun!
I only play casually with friends but a good combo I've found in neutral B to forward B. A full charged neutral B has enough juggle for forward B to connect. Ledge gaudrd after.
While you don't recommend side B offstage to recover with a Chance of taking your opponent with you, I've pulled off that cheeky move a few times on people either trying to edge guard me or who just stood too close to the ledge. The ensuing upward throw just stage spikes them at mid to high percentage and has a high change of gimping even Falco at low to zero percent.
Ridley can spike with his recovery. Prolly my favorite shit that smash pulled. I did it against a friend one time as a last resort thing, I was at 170 and he was at 90. If I whiffed it he would either let me die or try to spike me to piss me off. Let's just say he doesn't play smash anymore XD
Can you do it consistently?
Thank you for the tips man. I'm trying to pick up Ridley this should help me.
Wow! Thanks dude! I’m looking forward to trying out some new things I learned from this video! You da best!
Oof zero at the start. Damn...
was thinking the same thing...
For ridlys recovery u can do side b then up be with practice it is a good recovery
the intro is better the entire video and the video is amazing
Can we see a video on who you would want out of characters that are impossible as dlc?
Hmm...
I just started playing smash and barely know what I'm doing so I just looked up my best character so far
"Believe it or not", I plan on maining Ridley
Players before Ultimate: GIMME RIDLEY!
Players after Ultimate: Oh Ridley? Yeah I forgot about him, yeah he’s cool.
Turns out if you use the middle hit box at startup you can spike using Ridleys down air
Something you didn’t mention with his Neutral B, while charging, if he’s hit he has a similar effect to Joker’s Royal guard in which he’ll take a set amount of damage with no knock back.
Your one of the best smash guides. I love your vids. You should do more guides
Can you make an ridley guide part 2 because of the 4.0 update?
I dropped Ridley because i always got combo but besides Mega Man, i can't find a character that i like. Glad this video will make me pick him up again
Down smash after Skewer (down b) covers every option other than roll away. It covers every option if you hit it at ledge.
Says against lighwtweights
Demonstrates against Samus, who is actually heavier than Ridley
Wow, he must be a master at every character to make a guide on them.
Love the vid! Could u do the bellmonts next pls
Our boy the Young Lion Roy?
Ridley up smash is my favorite up smash in the entire game
Forgot to say that the side B is also very useful to recover, as you can use up B after it.
Wouldn't it be far more effective to also show what moves you wanna have in mind from certain ranges at any point in time, rather than just cover every move one by one?
That way it illustrates better to the audience what you wanna work on with neutral, punishers, offstage play, etc?
So the best part about Ridley is you can see his inspiration. Also i like Ridley
The answer is Xenomorph
I came here to see how to play Ridley and ended up learning about actions characters can do that I didn’t even know existed.
How about doing Pit/Dark Pit next?
Oh my god i was just waiting for this one
