As a ridley main it feels nice to see people giving him the attention he deserves! I honestly think the only thing holding him back is his hurtbox, his advantage is really good, he does a lot of damage, great range, up smash (cannot stress enough how good that move is), etc. A lot of people will say he has a bad recovery, but honestly it's really good if you use it right because of how massive his ledgegrab box is, and if you trade with it it still does 23%. Overall he's one of the simpler characters in the game but I think that's what makes him so fun, and I hope you keep messing around with him in the future!

F smash is surprisingly safe and kills super early with a ledge getup read (standing at roll distance and f smashing when you see movement) and is also absurd against ledge regrab. Ftilt and nair are also such absurdly good moves in all areas of play, especially for ledge trapping since nair covers all getup options with a timing read and Ftilt can force opponents off the ledge at a predictable timing.

Hello, Ridley main here. I would like to make you aware of something with Ridley: He might be the most dishonest mid-tier in the game, just due to some silly little tricks. You already found one of em' with Wing Blitz' spike properties, but let me give you another: Space Pirate Rush at ledge. If you space it right, instead of just dragging the opponent on stage, you can pull them UNDER THE STAGE. This can lead a "do or die" situation for the opponent if they can tech, otherwise they get stage spiked HARD. Great video man, hope you solve your crisis ;)

I am a Ridley main and I've played with other characters. In all truth I find him to be very similar to Mewtwo. -Excellent tools and range -Great advantage state -Some good physics (both are fast and Ridley has the benefit of 1 extra jump which is an enormous help) But the disadvantage state of both characters holds them back quite a bit. Ridley is hurt less by his size IMO since he is nowhere near as light as Mewtwo and he may not be a true superheavy, he is heavy at 107 units and I have lived stuff other characters would never survive as Ridley. That and I think the current meta does not favor Ridley in big tournaments. Zoners and more traditional top tiers like Palu eat Ridley alive and his good MUs are there, but not anything big. Mainly wolf and some good swordies and characters with stubby range are the ones that come to my mind. That and his strength of edgeguarding is a bit niche and hard to capitalize on since Edgeguarding is not always that good in Ultimate.

Also charizard is on a stance change character which I'd hardly consider like Ridley.

Ridley is my favorite character I think. For others who don't know much, if you're off-stage and an opponent is camping the ledge, his space pirate rush (side b) will grab opponents right on the edge of the stage and he'll instead drag them down off-stage. If you time it right, and they're high enough percent, you can use jump to throw them so they bounce off the bottom of the stage. :D One of the most satisfying things.

Love Ridley. Feels like Marth + Ganondorf gameplay with a bit of his own unique Ridley flair. One of the 3 characters I wanted since Melee. Meta Knight and Sephiroth being the other 2. He always makes me feel good everytime I play him, and it's easy to do well with him. I only struggle with him against the best of players, then it feels like I don't have enough options to be able to mix up and adapt to what my opponent can do. Since a Pikachu main is basically the end goal of who I want to be able to defeat, Ridley kind of struggles since Pikachu can just force Ridley to approach using t-jolt and react to anything he does. So it's one of the roughest matchups I've faced. How can you fight someone if you don't have a way to pressure them with anything? Anyone that isn't that Pikachu player is going to struggle though, and he is the only Pikachu player good enough that doesn't get absolutely rolled by my Ridley since good Pikachus are really rare. Right now I kinda use Ridley as a counterpick character depending on the type of mentality of my opponent, and/or if their character doesn't let Ridley do Ridley things. He's probably the character that requires the least amount of time to do well with, making him a great pocket for me. Also, there are few things in Ultimate that meet the hype of landing a skewer on the opponent, and watching just how drastically their gameplay changes after you land a skewer. Speaking of which, I really love how RIdley kinda plays "honest" for a long time, but then will randomly have an way to instantly kill you or deal massive damage out of no where where it feels kind of cheesy, so I love how intimidated people get when fighting him. Almost feels as if they have to balance out looking for cheesy, or looking for "proper gameplay", and too much one way or the other and the Ridley exploits that. I don't get this with any other character anywhere near to the extent that Ridley does. I absolutely love him. (Of my most played, Lucario and Sephiroth are probably the closest to this).

He's very good at shutting down what makes peach and yoshi so obnoxious for instance. Again, just a scrub here but he's very interesting in my friend circle. I usually play him or Incin to send a message lool He has a lot of potential in skilled players hands i think.
