Overview

Ridley is unique in that he’s considered a heavyweight fighter but, at the same time, is a highly mobile flight-based fighter with several air-traversal options. As a winged space pirate, Ridley can flutter his wings to remain airborne (essentially a “triple jump” that allows him to change his facing direction). His up special is a multidirectional dash special called Wing Blitz, which could be considered four additional aerial options. Then his Space Pirate Rush grab attack doubles as a kind of horizontal air dash if used non-offensively. All of these options combined make Ridley a difficult foe to edge-guard.

Ridley’s general game plan revolves around his Plasma Breath pressure and incredible air attacks. He can force out mistakes from his foes with his chargeable projectiles, luring enemies into range of his neutral air attack, down air attack, and Space Pirate Rush unshieldable grabs.
