Ridley for SSBB

[the grim lizard]

What happens when we get Ridley's brawl picture?

It becomes my entire sig.

 

[Jopaan]

By the way...we're about 70 posts away from taking over Diddy thread.

Pfft. With all the talk of E3, the character forum is dead. We'll catch up in no time!

 

[Caael]

It becomes my entire sig.

I think we might just have to make a forum skin with Ridley on it.

And persuade the creator to add some Ridley avatars. I was shocked when I saw a dark Samus one, and no Ridley.

was??? (German [vass] meaning 'what')

That's crap! We need a Ridley one!...That's ok, I've been leaving my sig on in pretty much every thread where I post; so it's almost as if I'm adding "Ridley for Brawl" at the end of every post...

I suggest you all follow suit.

I would also dig a Ridley skin...sweet. I'm not sure how you'd get it off the big dragon, though...*rimshot*

 

[Jopaan]

a forum skin with Ridley on it.

I'd "wear" it

some Ridley avatars

and I'd wear them as well. Here's an idea, let's make a Ridley Clique/Club and decorate all of our posts/sigs/avatars with Ridley! That way people will know who we support.


RIDLEY FOR BRAWL?

Um, you're sig says ' RIDLEY FOR' and cuts off...

To get the skin, we'll just find Ridley X. We dont want to harm the real Ridley, so we'll harm the closest thing to him.

 

[the grim lizard]

Um, you're sig says ' RIDLEY FOR' and cuts off...

Mine displays the whole thing. Are you sure you don't have like a super big image like...low resolution or something? hmm

 

[Caael]

My screen is 21" by 18". I doubt it.

Resolution is 1600x 800x 16

 

[Gypsy Lee]

*comes in wearing face paint and war mongrel clothing*

Now that everyone's distracted by the E3 news, the character specific threads are left unguarded. I suggest we launch a surprise attack before they return!!!

*unsheathes sword*

Fellow Ridley fanboys, today we'll use our full spamming potential to go severely off topic in every thread on these boards by posting our support for Ridley in a distracting and obnoxious fashion!!! Prepare your cleverly crafted "Ridley for Brawl" banners for battle, because tonight, we fight for the only thing we've ever known: Riddles the giant purple dragon!!!!1o1o1n1one!!!1

 

[Caael]

TONIGHT WE DINE IN ZEBES!

I need a banner..

Fellow Ridley fanboys, today we'll use our full spamming potential to go severely off topic in every thread on these boards by posting our support for Ridley in a distracting and obnoxious fashion!!!

LOL Okay, and what will this prove? Besides, that will just raise the other threads' post counts anyhow. We do want to win this "race" don't we?


RIDLEY FOR BRAWL...

 

[Caael]

First to get to 3000 wins.

POST MORE, GUYS!

Ridley for Brawl!

 

[the grim lizard]

Oh man!!! We need to be smart...we had some really awesome posts in the past pages, and we should bring them back...

While we are adding more posts to this thread, try to just quote people for their past awesome posts. That is a good way to get going...

 

[Gypsy Lee]

I'M POSTING AS FAST AS I CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!1

And at Jopaan, they will most likely get pissed at us and start flaming us, and at that point, we'll direct them here. Then, we'll direct them here and our Ridley thread will grow ever more powerful.

 

[the grim lizard]

I know I'm really late on this, but I wanted to make a moveset, too. One with pictures!!! Oooh, I just love making movesets!!!! Here it is, the wall of text that is my Ridley moveset:

RIDLEY
____________________________________________

STATISTICS​

Jump: *****

Ridley can't jump very high, but the amount of jumps he has more than makes up for it. Ridley's first jump is average when compared to other characters. His second jump is quite mediocre, too. But, it doesn't stop at just two jumps. Like Kirby, Jigglypuff, Metaknight, and Pit, Ridley has multiple jumps. With each flap of his wings, he is carried a little higher, though they decrease in height with each consecutive jump. He maxes out at 6 jumps, including his initial "ground" jump.

Size: *****

Let me get this out of the way right now - Ridley's a beast. He's so big and ripped, that Sakurai is going to have to shrink him down to the size of a small adult elephant, so that he may compete 'fairly' against the puny humanoid characters in Brawl.

Weight: *****

Not only is Ridley a beast, Ridley is a tank. His lardy a** is tied with Bowser for heaviest character, making him difficult to knock off stage. This, combined with his great recovery, makes for a long day for your opponent.

Speed: **

Ridley has a speedy straight ahead dash, however, his size and lanky build hurt his agility. This causes for, overall, laggy moves. He isn't as slow as say, Bowser, but he sure isn't no Fox by any means.

Strength: ***

Ridley isn't as strong as you'd expect him to be. His arms are long, slender and weak. Ridley usually carries things with his feet or in his mouth, making for slow, awkward uses of items. In combat, he relies on his powerful jaws and strong dagger-like tail. He seldom uses his arms, maybe for an occassional swipe at the enemy.

Recovery: *****

Armed with several jumps, the ability to glide, and fireballs to preoccupy edge guarders, Ridley is extremely hard to keep off stage. Ridley's opponents must put their blood, sweat, and tears into each KO.

Fall Speed: ***

Ridley is large and heavy, yes. But, Ridley is also a pterodactyl/dragon, meaning he can fly, meaning he should be somewhat floaty. These two confinscate for one another, making him neither a floaty, nor a fast faller. He should be somewhere around average.

Comboability: *

Ridley is not about combos. Ridley is about run-and-gun deals, in which he comes in for an attack every now and then until the other player's damage is at a high percentage. At this point, Ridley comes in for the kill.

KOability: ***

Ridley is good at KOing the opponent at high percentages, though only at high percentages. He has a few satisfactory kill moves that get the job done when the opportunity comes.

Coolness Factor: ************************************************** *************************

I could give him a higher rating, but you get the point.

GROUND ATTACKS​

Neutral A Combo

Name: Double Bite
Damage: Low
Knockback: Low
Lag: Moderate
Range: Moderate
Duration: Short-Moderate
Hits: 2
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley reaches his head out for a quick bite at the enemy. If the 'A' button is pressed a second time, Ridley will then stretch out his neck and twist his head for a second, more powerful bite.


Forward Tilt

Name: Tail Slash
Damage: Low
Knockback: Moderate
Lag: Low
Range: Long
Duration: Short
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley spins around and swings his tail in front of him, slicing the opponent. Much like Mewtwo's Forward Tilt, except with more reach and slightly more knockback. This move is effective for edge guarding, or keeping an attacker at bay.


Up Tilt

Name: Headbutt
Damage: Low
Knockback: Moderate
Lag: Moderate
Range: Low
Duration: Moderate
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley yanks his head upwards and hits the player in the air with his snout. It has some lag, but is hard to miss with, so Ridley is hardly ever open to a counter attack unless he completely wiffs. This move is good for juggling an opponent, but not much else.


Down Tilt

Name: Ankle Bite
Damage: Moderate
Knockback: High
Lag: High
Range: Moderate
Duration: Short
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley crouches down on all fours and bites at the enemy. This move deals good damage and knocks your opponent far back, but due to lag, it leaves you open to attack afterward.


Dash Attack

Name: Dragon Claws
Damage: Moderate
Knockback: Low
Lag: Moderate
Range: Low
Duration: Long
Hits: 4
Effect: None

Description:

Whilst running, Ridley furiously slashes at the opponent 4 times, twice with each claw. Punishable, (as most dash attacks are) but useful nonetheless. This attack may be used as an alternative approach to Ridley's Forward B.


Forward Smash

Name: Devastating Chomp
Damage: High
Knockback: High
Lag: High
Range: Long
Duration: Moderate
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley lunges at the opposing player with his mouth wide open and crunches them with his powerful jaws. This move is laggy and highly punishable, but is a powerful smash with long reach, making for a satisfactory finisher.


Up Smash

Name: Wing Strike
Damage: Moderate
Knockback: Moderate
Lag: Moderate
Range: Long
Duration: Moderate
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley leans to his right, looking over his left shoulder, and swings open his left wing at the player above him. It's a decent smash overall, but it serves no particular purpose as far as edge guarding, KOs, etc.


Down Smash

Name: Tail Sweep
Damage: Moderate
Knockback: Very High
Lag: Moderate
Range: Long
Duration: Moderate
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

This is Ridley's signature tail sweep. Ridley spins and sweeps his tail across the ground on both sides of him. The player hit is sent at a near horizontal trajectory. It is devastatingly powerful and is easily his greatest kill move.

AERIAL ATTACKS​

Neutral Aerial

Name: Wing Spin
Damage: Moderate
Knockback: Low
Lag: Very Low
Range: Low
Duration: Moderate
Hits: 1-3
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley spins twice in the air with his wings spread out to his sides. It is great for knocking away another aerial opponent on either side of you.


Forward Aerial

Name: Claw Swipes
Damage: Low
Knockback: Moderate
Lag: Moderate
Range: Low
Duration: Moderate
Hits: 2
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley swings one of his claws and then the other at the player in front of him. Both swipes do the same knockback and damage, so hitting with either one will send the opponent flying.


Backward Aerial

Name: Back Slash
Damage: Moderate
Knockback: High
Lag: Low
Range: Low
Duration: Moderate
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley spins around to his right, with his left claw reached out to his side, and slashes at the player behind him. It sends them at a horizontal trajectory, and it's accompanied by an awesome slashing sound.


Up Aerial

Name: Overhead Bite
Damage: High
Knockback: Low
Lag: Moderate
Range: Moderate
Duration: Short
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley looks up and quickly snaps at the enemy above. This move is very damaging, but by no means is it powerful.


Down Aerial

Name: Head Splitter
Damage: Moderate
Knockback: Moderate
Lag: Moderate
Range: Long
Duration: Short
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley's meteor strike. Ridley pulls his wings and arms back (as if to give some one a hug), looks down at his victim, and then swings his tail from right to left. It can, like most meteor strikes, be meteor canceled. Otherwise, it's a fast, deadly move.

SPECIAL ATTACKS​

Neutral B

Name: Fireball
Damage: Very Low
Knockback: Very Low
Lag: Moderate
Range: Very Long
Duration: Long
Hits: 3
Effect: Fire Damage/Stun

Description:

Ridley shoots a bright orange fireball from his mouth (a slighty bigger and elongated version of Mario's) that travels at about the same speed and distance as that of Samus' missles. It scores 3 hits on whomever it comes in contact with, each dealing about 2% damage. It has little knockback, but stops the opponent in his tracks because of the "fire stun" (like being hit by Young Links arrows). The fireballs are sub-par as far as damage and knockback standards go, but when combined with the ability to shoot them in barrages while flying over an opponent, they become a very versatile and useful projectile.


Up B

Name: Wing Frenzy
Damage: Very Low
Knockback: None (last hit is Low)
Lag: Low
Range: Long
Duration: Short-Long
Hits: 1 up to 5
Effect: Slight Stun

Description:

When Up and B are pressed, Ridley flaps his wings once and is sent upwards at about the height of a normal jump. With a consecutive tap of the B button, Ridley flaps again and is sent farther upwards. He maxes out at 5 flaps, each one gaining less height than the last. If an opponent is struck by a wing, they are briefly stunned and are set up for another flap. It is the equivilent of being struck by a fan item, but only 4 times. The last hit sends them flying away from you. The move has little priority and deals little damage, so it's best use is for recovery (as a sort of 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th jump). As most Up B's do, it renders you unable to move until you touch the ground, or you die (in which case, you'll just respawn back on land again).


Forward B

Name: Relentless Charge/Glide
Damage: Moderate
Knockback: High
Lag: High
Range: Long
Duration: Long
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley quickly pulls his head back, screams, and gallops forward with an open mouth and claws. Right before hitting the opponent, Ridley closes his mouth and lowers his head. Upon contact, he thrusts his head and body forward, knocking the opponent back a good distance. During the duration of the charge, Ridley is completely invincible to projectiles, direct attacks, etc. Hence the name: Relentless Charge. Although recognizeable by the scream, the start up of the move is fairly quick and can be difficult to predict. However, the ending lag is very noticeable. After traveling approximately the distance as Falcon's Raptor Boost, Ridley falls over in a similar fashion. Thus, making this move easily punishable when missed. Also, the charge itself is a tad bit sluggish, but is made up for by the invincibility frames. This move is best used in close quarters, or when the opponent is projectile happy.

In the air, instead of charging forward, Ridley darts forward a short distance and open his wings, allowing him to glide. During this move, Ridley can shoot fireballs at his opponent. The fireballs can only aim ahead of him, or at about a 45 degree angle beneath him. So, the player must become familar with their timing and trajectory in order to use them effectively. Ridley continues to glide for a short time, or until he touches the ground. The trajectory of his decent is around 30 degrees less than horizontal, (or 90 degrees) so he falls rather slowly.


Down B

Name: Flame Spew
Damage: High
Knockback: Low
Lag: High
Range: Long
Duration: Moderate
Hits: Multiple
Effect: Fire Damage/Stun

Description:

Ridley crouches down on all fours in a "ready to attack" position (similar to how cats and dogs do) then draws his head back, opens his mouth, and spews fire ahead of him. As he does so, he motions his head from side to side, as if spreading the flames all over the place (but it can't be seen unless you pause the game and turn the camera angle). It works in a way that is like Bowser's Fire Breath. However, instead of eventually running out as you hold the button down, the move grows weaker after consecutive uses until it eventually dies down to nothing but smoke after the third time. The move ends once Ridley covers the ground with fire (after one side-to-side motion of his head) and stands back up in his normal position. There's a bit of lag at the beginning and end of the move to watch out for when using it.


Final Smash

Name: Plasma Beam
Damage: Very High
Knockback: Very Low
Lag: N/A
Range: Very Long
Duration: Very Long (between 20-25 seconds)
Hits: Multiple
Effect: Fire Damage/Stun

Description:

Ridley's eyes glow, and he is surrounded by the Final Smash's signature orange aura. He lets out a screech as he swoops into the air. As Ridley hovers high in the air, he pulls back his head and slowly opens his mouth. A bright light begins forming in Ridley's mouth. Then, suddenly, he lets out an unnerving shreik as a thick red beam of plasma shoots from his mouth. When it first crashes into the stage, flames burst all around it. The move is a continuing beam of plasma, and is fully aimable, allowing Ridley to direct it over the other players. When it hits an opponent, they are stunned a bit, (from the fire, like in Melee) and as long as they are under the beam, their damage sky rockets. (Probably around 25% a second). However, the move has no knockback, exept for when the laser initially hits. Small trails of flames (from where the beam has been) last for a few seconds, dealing some damage to anyone who walks into them. During the whole move, Ridley is far out of the reach of anyone, and is only able to be hit via projectile. When this happens, Ridley is briefly interrupted, but quickly continues the move again until it is finished. If the projectile has no knockback, (i.e. Fox's lasers) then Ridley is damaged by it, but not interrupted.

THROWS AND TAUNTS​

Grab Attack

Name: Vicious Bites
Damage: Very Low
Knockback: N/A
Lag: N/A
Range: N/A
Duration: Very Short
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley, holding the opponent in a death grip right in front of his face, bites at the poor soul caught in his clutches.


Forward Throw

Name: Tail Serve
Damage: Moderate
Knockback: Moderate
Lag: Moderate
Range: N/A
Duration: Moderate
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley lifts the opponent into the air with one hand, then spins around and slashes them forward with his tail. This is a normal throw with little knockback, but it looks really cool.


Backward Throw

Name: Garbage Man Throw
Damage: Low
Knockback: Moderate
Lag: Low
Range: N/A
Duration: Short
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley turns and chucks the opponent behind him like a garbage man throws garbage bags into a garbage truck. This is a mediocre throw all around, but is humiliating to the opposing player.


Down Throw

Name: Tail Stab
Damage: Moderate
Knockback: Very Low
Lag: Low
Range: N/A
Duration: Very Short
Hits: 4
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley slams the opponent into the ground, then flies a short distance into the air and procedes to stab the grounded player several times with his tail.


Up Throw

Name: Ridley Slam
Damage: Moderate
Knockback: High
Lag: Moderate
Range: N/A
Duration: Long
Hits: 1
Effect: None

Description:

Ridley flies straight up into the air with the opposing player in his grasp, then he shrieks and dives straight down with the opponent held out in front of him. He slams them into the ground, and they are sent spiralling upwards. Ridley used this cheap move alot in the Metroid games.


Taunt

Ridley leans forward, with his arms tucked under him and his neck stretched out, and shrieks. Moves his head from left to right while doing so. Alot of people may have seen Ridley do this ALOT in Metroid Prime. It's really cool at first, then after about the third time, become really annoying. When it comes to taunts though, the annoying-er, the better .

COLORS​

Purple

Though it varies through the games, (from a deep violet, to a near periwinkle hue) this is Ridley's normal color. This color would double as his costume when he is on the Blue Team in team battles. This is entirely possible, seeing how Samus used her purple Gravity Suit for the Blue Team in Melee.

Red

Originially used for promos, renders, and box art for Super Metroid for the SNES, the red colored Ridley is one of his more common depictions. In alot of the 2D Metroid games, Ridley would flash or turn completely red in rage towards the end of a fight. This color would also serve as his costume for the Red Team.

Green

This color was never used in a Metroid game, but it would give Ridley a more "dragon" or "dinosaur" like appearance. Plus, it would serve as his costume for the Green Team.

Brown

Ridley first appeared with a brownish hue in the remake of the original Metroid, Metroid: Zero Mission for the GBA. So far, it has been the only time he has been seen in a game in a color other than purple. I personally think that this costume looks terribly awesome.

COSTUMES​

Meta Ridley

Meta Ridley appeared in Metroid Prime and will also play a role in the upcoming Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, in which he is believed to have acquired 'phazon' powers. Meta Ridley is not to be confused with Mecha Ridley. Meta Ridley is the actual Ridley that was defeated in the first Metroid, however, he was "resurrected" by the Space Pirates. Many of his body parts were replaced by robotic parts and he was fitted with weapons. Alot of people want to see this version of Ridley as at least an alternate costume because he looks like a torn up, metal badass. And I completely agree.

Mecha Ridley

This is Mecha Ridley, or Robo Ridley (usually Mecha Ridley because Robo Ridley sounds like a really lame anime character). He/it is actually a robot. It was the final boss in Metroid: Zero Mission.

Ridley X

Ridley X is Ridley, or a 'clone' of Ridley, that has been infected by the parasite, X. In Metroid: Fusion, he had been frozen in a storage compartment. Towards the end of the game, his frozen body was infected by an X. He then mutated into this guy, who looks more like a dragon then the pterodactyl-esque normal Ridley.

STAGES​

Ridley's Lair

Ridley's Lair would be a combination of the Ridley Boss Room from Metroid: Zero Mission and the original Metroid. There's one main platform that hovers over a bed of lava. In the background, you can see Chozo architecture such as pillars, statues, etc. The roof of the room is covered with spikes. If a player is hit up into the spikes, they are hit back down and by the spikes (the Bumper on Princess Peach's Castle from the first SSB anyone?) and sent back down into the lava. The lava acts like the water from Termina Bay in Melee. In other words, it doesn't burn you, IT KILLS YOU. You can also die from being hit to the left or right off screen, but the kill zones are far away, making the bottom kill zone the preferred way to KO your opponents.

Two destructible platforms hover to each side of the main platform. If hit, they topple over and fall into the burning lava below, only to rise out of the lava a few minutes later. In between the rise and fall of the platforms, a little beetle creature (I can never remember their names) floats on screen and flies around, making for a movable platform.

Rising steam from the lava is seen (what you see on the road on a hot day). You can hear the occassional blops and plops from the lava, as bubbles of it burst. With the Ridley Boss Battle Theme blasting, and the sound of crackling fire from the lava bed, a dark mood is set for this level.

I had to bring this guy back...it's been gone for a while.

Ridley for Brawl!

 

[Caael]

Lulz, page long quotes ftw!

 

[Jopaan]

I'M POSTING AS FAST AS I CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!1

And at Jopaan, they will most likely get pissed at us and start flaming us, and at that point, we'll direct them here. Then, we'll direct them here and our Ridley thread will grow ever more powerful.

LOL. Nice, I didn't think of it that way.

 

[Caael]

I'm glad mods don't bother looking in this thread. *knocks on wooden computer desk*

RIDLEY FOR BRAWL!

 

[Copperpot]

Don't get me wrong, I want Ridley in the game just as much as the next guy, but I'll laugh if this thread gets locked on account of "Ridley for Brawl" spam.

Now that I've gotten that out, Ridley for Brawl!

 

[Caael]

Why would they lock the second most popular character thread?

Just because half the posts consist of ' Ridley for Brawl!!!11!oneone'...

 

[the grim lizard]

Just in case...let's at least try to make the posts semi-legitimate.

 

[Jopaan]

Well, I checked out the Diddy thread and it has just as much DFB spam.

[the grim lizard]

More Ridley movesets...read them if you want. Also, try to find more of these in past posts, guys. This is a good way to view them all at once. ^_^

by Lord_Deathbourne

B neutral -- Spitfire/Fire Beam: similar to superscope; tap B and he fire three consecutive fireballs, each landing just infront of the preceeding one, similar to his fire attack in Super Metroid. Hold B and he charges for a fire beam like in Metroid Prime

B forward -- Tail Harpoon: Jabs tail forward like a harpoon.

B up -- Wing Thrust: similar to MP3 boss battle footage, where he spins upward with wings folded then streaches them out when he reaches his apex. Has the effect of drilling opponent beneath him and smashes away with streach.

B down -- Dragon Dive: similar mechanics to the Falcon Kick: diangonal down when airborne and a forward dash when grounded. Airborne execution serves as a meteor smash while grounded execution serves only to knock opponent into the air, similar to Fox Illusion.

His Brawl attack could be some sort of Mega Flare ala Bahamut from FF7

by Kaid

a: claw swipes (Bowser)
tiltA: tail attack (like M2)
downA: Bite
upA: overhead claw (like bowser)

fair: foward claw (like bowser)
Dair: foot-claw swipe (Marth)
Backair: tailflick (M2)
Upair: flip with tail (M2)
Nair: aerial spin

Fsmash: Headbutt
Usmash: Overhead bite
Dsmash: Double tail flick (yoshi, with more range)

B: Kinetic Breath Weapon- think a shorter thunder that starts at ridley's mouth and angles downward. Startup time is comparable to Warlock Punch or Gannon's uptilt

vB: Wingover dive- Ridly stopps falling for an instant, gliding foward... then flips over and drops like a rock. inspired by Warlock/Falcon kick.

<B Meta Claw- Read as Koopa claw

^B: Bombing run- Ridley flys upward, dropping weak explosive projectiles.

by X_Arre

-Moderately heavy
-Scaled down to Bowser size.
-A-attacks including (but not limited to) tail swipes/stabs, bites, claw slashes and wing strikes.
-Has two midjumps
-Falls fairly quickly.
-Neutral B: Fire blast: Like someone mentioned before, Ridley would spit multiple fireballs, with progressing range. The number of fireballs depends how many times you press it in succession (up to 4). When firing, you can change the direction of the blast, ala Yoshi. When held, the blast will charge in his mouth. Maximum charge is five seconds. When the charge is released, Ridley will let out a screech and the blast will discharge. The blast would be a mix of Roy's fully charged B, Bowser's B, and Mario's Fsmash. It would start as an explosion, and send opponents flying, and finish as a steady flame Like Ness's PK fire, only bigger.
-Forward B: Lunge: On the ground, Ridley will lunge forward and grab the enemy next to him. If out of range, it will be a slashing attack, ala Bowser. Once in Ridley's grip, the enemy will be exposed to biting (with A), or torching (with B). When performed in the air, Ridley will fly forward a little farther than Fox's illusion, swooping down a little and coming back up. This is used as an alternate recovery, like Illusion. If an opponent is grabbed by this, Ridley will comeplete the move, enemy in his claws. When you are still in the air with the opponent, you can tailstab him (>B/<B), stomp him to the ground (vB), throw him back up (^B), or torch him (B). If the enemy is thrown back up, you will not be stunned and will be able to do more aerial attacks. When you land with the opponent, the earlier controls apply.
-Down B: Protect? (not sure what to call it): Ridley will wrap his wings around him, absorbing all attacks for a second (like Meta Knight, w/o invisibility). If attacks are absorbed, he will abruptly open his wings and screech, hitting enemies from all directions. This will work like Marth/Roy's Down B, except hitting enemies anywhere, not just in front of him. If nothing hits Ridley, he will calmly open his wings.
-Up B: Sky Missile: Ridley will strongly flap his wings once, blowing opponents downward (useful for edgeguarding)and swoop upward with his fings now folded. At the top of the flight, he will open up, hitting those in front of him with a slash. When performed on the ground, He will screech and flap is wings, blowing everyone away from him and creating some distance. If the enemy is airbourne, it will turn them around like Mario's cape.
-Throw: He will grab the opponent. Hitting them will make Ridley claw at them, throwing them forward or back will make Ridley fling him/her away and shoot a follow up missile. Throwing them up will just, well... throw them upward. Throwing down will make Ridley stomp on them, and slash them away.
-Taunt: Ridley will throw his arms back, flap his wings, and screech.
-When kirby sucks him up, he will get wings and a tail.

Walker Ridley

B: Flaming Breath Sweep,
Ridley fires a constant stream of fire for 3 seconds that has the ability to push enemies back quite well but it poor at finishing them. The direction could be controlled by the player during the attack.

Foward+B: Charge Attack,
Ridley opens his mouth and jumps forward, almost completely horizontally, dealing a good amount of damage with good finishing and knockback potential.

Up+B: Fly,
Switches Ridley into his second form, see below.

Down+B: Ground Smash,
Ridley jumps into the air and hits the ground with a large shockwave, doing minimal damage but with very good knockback results. If you're a fan of the older Metroids, you can imagine his doing his pogo-tail attack.


Ridley would be a bit like DK in his basic stats: fairly quick and powerful, but with pickup time after his attacks, making him vulnerable to counter-attacks (does this sound like a boss battle yet?). In addition to this, he wouild be hard to knock off the stage at anything less than 120%, due to his wieght, even with a well-charged smash attack.

Flyer Ridley

B: Flaming Breath Sweep.
See above.

Forward+B: Swoop.
As you charge it, you can aim Ridley who swoops down and back up, dealing good amounts of damage and knockback, doing a 90 degree turn in all.

Up+B: Propell,
Ridley faces the ground at a 45 degree angle and shoots jets of flame out of his mouth, pushing himself upwards and doing damage to anyone below.

Down+ B: Revert,
Goes back to walker Ridley.

Generally, this form of Ridley would have free, gravity-free movement. The cost, however, would be the lack of any stringable moves and the ability to be knocked off far easier than anyone else, at about 50%. He would have to rely on mundane swoop attacks for damage, and this form would be more for attacking enemies without rqanged attacks, although those ones could very easily damage and kill him with their powerful melee.

When Ridley is confirmed for Brawl (DON'T CORRECT ME LITTLE BOY), what stage do you think is most likely to be his "Home Stage"?

That's still cool that you got to keep your custom name rank/whatever that thing is below your name.

And...How about some more movesets or something??
