Tips for Ridley

Your tail is technically a disjoint. This means that it has no hurt box. You essentially have a sword tail. Because of this, Nair, Fair, Ftilt, Dtilt, and rapid jab all are disjointed in some ways.

20

1
Ridley has an incredible offstage presence. Don't be afraid to jump off stage and throw a few nairs or fairs out.

18

0
Side b if done from off stage to the ledge can grab opponents and place them under the stage. This is extremely effective for a 0 to death kill on a greedy player. Be sure to not spam this.

14

0
Remember to make sure you don't Pirates Rush too much (side-B) as it contains a lot of endlag resulting in an easy punish. N-air is your friend.

13

0
When using Up Special, note that it cannot perform the same way as Fox's. Facing forwards and right direction results in a slightly downwards thrust, backwards and left results in slightly up thrust

9

0
Down-throw is a combo throw at low percents and a kill throw at super high percents. Use it at around 0-30% (depends on the character) and at 180+% (again, varies by character)

4

0
Ridley's down-b is already a pretty bad move, but especially against anyone with a counterattack (Lucario, FE chars, etc). A counterattack multiplier against Ridley's down-b can easily KO him at 0%.

3

0
While you can play aggressively and do okay, your best option generally is more on the defensive side. Play safely using down tilt and forward tilt to keep your opponent off of you

3

0
Ridley has two universal strings that work at low % on the entire cast for an easy 0-death. Triplat>U throw to top plat>Skewer (land on plat)>Dsmash. And: D>fair>dj fair>dj fair at ledge hint: COMMIT

2

0
Ridley has some good edge-guarding options. Aside from spamming Neutral-B, you can meteor smash foes with D-air and Up-B (if aiming downwards). Be careful if you’re using them off the stage, though!

1

0
Down throw to skewer is not true. Don't use it unless your opponent has zero experience in the Ridley matchup.

1

0
Ridleys leg during upsmash has invulnerability during certain frames, making it an effective anti-air move.

1

0
Edge guarding using fireballs (neutral-B) can be effective with good spacing and timing, and can be an easy gimp especially against weak recoveries.

1

0
You can easily get 40% by well timed nairs and fairs don't forget your bair can kill and damage just by timing it just right

1

0
A missed tech from your opponent on small platforms can lead to upsmash or Aerial Space Pirate Rush.

1

0
A recovery mixup is to use your up-b angled down, but release the stick once Ridley starts flying. Releasing the stick will allow Ridley to grab the ledge. This hitbox spikes

1

0
Chroms Soaring Slash (up special) has no hitbox while rising. You can perform a rapid jab at the ledge as an effective wall against him.

0

0
Utilize fireballs. They are more helpful than you think. Also, dthrow fair.

0

0
Side B .

ballshit this is pure ballshit. trashhhhhhhhh

15
Don't play Ridley. Ridley is trash dragon.
