Pac-Man vs Ridley

In the matchup against Ridley, take advantage of Pac-Man's agility and projectiles to control the stage. Use the Galaxian combo to rack up damage quickly, and when you have stage control, look for opportunities to land a bell followed by a forward smash for an early stock. Ridley's large hitbox makes him susceptible to your setups, so keep the pressure on and avoid getting caught in his powerful aerials. Stay mobile and utilize Pac-Man's hydrant to disrupt Ridley's attacks while maintaining your zoning game.
