After playing for a few days, I think I'm ready to do a full list of my thoughts of every move.
Normal attacks:
-Jab: Its speed is fine, but i feel that the 3rd hit is hard to land. Maybe just try to make them connect better and it's perfect.
-F-tilt: Pretty good, needs proper spacing and ending lag is fine.
-D-tilt: Pretty good too. Good combo starter.
-U-tilt: I think this one could be buffed, i just couldn't find a use to it. Everytime I used it during a combo/string it just ruines it lol. Maybe this could be a good buff considerating all the planned nerfs so far.
Aerials:
-N-air: Awesome move with fair starting lag.
-F-air: Just as good as expected. I don't think it needs nerf becuase it's not as good as Charizard's or Mewtwo's.
-D-air: I still think it's a bit easy to land, specially when you've gotten used to play Ridley. Maybe reduce its hitbox just a tad?
-U-air: Really cool. Ridley's lvl 9 cpu has killed me with d-air to u-air quite a few times. It's also really good for combos.
-B-air: It's probably been said before but, nerf pls :v the move is just reaaally good, it makes me feel a bit cheap at times lol. I think a knockback nerf is all it needs, range is fine 'cause it needs good spacing.
Smash attacks:
-Side smash: Just like n-air, awesome move with fair starting lag and good shield breaking power, but of course pretty risky and needs good read.
-Down smash: I think it's a bit fast but it could be fair becuase it's useful to get off your opponents. Also needs good spacing.
-Up smash: First hitboxes are a bit big, but i think you said that's gonna be fixed so it's cool.
Specials:
-Neutral B: Good looking and i think the aerial version is pretty good to keep your opponents away.
-Side B: Grounded version is really dope and can be followed up at low damage. I haven't found a good use of the glide because i've never been good with gliding characters, but it's a bit fast. I say you could either make it slower or give him more landing lag.
-Down B: Air version is awesome like Bowser Bomb. Grounded version is ok but very very risky. I wouldn't mind if grounded version gets changed for something else lol.
-Up B: Awesome for follow ups, but it basically has no vertical movement for recovery.
-Final smash: Really cool looking, but maybe nerf it a bit? I hit my brother with the very last bits of it and he got almost 96% and died anyway.
I have been having so much fun playing with Ridley! You've seriously done a huge favor to the Ridley supporters and Metroid fans in general, Bagan. I'm now kinda happy that he didn't make it to Smash 4 because I'm pretty sure there's a big chance for the PMDT to add him in future releases. When they announce it officially, it's gonna be something HUGE. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
