Figured it wouldn't hurt to have a little video thread for him here, for anything that doesn't necessarily relate to showcasing combos of his that would otherwise go in this or that thread, or my other thread here that goes into some combos and other more advanced stuff. Just generally anything (videos or tweets) that shows epic or notable win moments for him from players who have gotten a good handle of him after the game's release and patch updates that you might consider incorporating into your playstyle with him.

I'll start with these.

Seeing successful skewer edgeguarding like that never gets old.

I feel for the most part I've posted enough montage videos of Ridley without it getting too redundant (hence it being awhile), but just dropping this one here since Vreyvus showed some amazing highlights.

Another Vreyvus montage. Those skewer lands on people doing their getup attacks, lol. Some nasty good side B's there too.

This one's pretty good for being the first montage I've seen after 4.0 patch, even having some good d-air kills of all things. Going forward with buffed Ridley, I expect most future montages will blow any previous ones in this thread out of the water, with the faster Wing Blitz, Ridley not taking as long to kill now in general, etc. A better tomorrow for any current or aspiring space pirate mains.


edit: This one good too.

Realized it had been awhile since I updated this thread any.






Shoutout to the Japanese player Nagare on the last couple ones. Acrorapter who did the 2nd vid there is pretty good too with plenty montages and twitter clips of his own worth learning from.

This new montage highlights the Skewer buffs quite well.


One thing to note particularly is around 2:10 where he does the dthrow skewer thing which although doesn't do the full animation now, still does a lot of damage, then parries, and follows up with another skewer. It's one way you can use the "d-throw > fake skewer" to your advantage, if you think you can parry an attack to followup with another punish depending on the matchup.

Another decent Nagare montage, from a recent tournament.

Been awhile, but a couple major montages that show plenty Rid kill setups to learn from, the 2nd one of which just dropped today.

All those under stage skewers, amongst everything else... Been awhile since there's been a refreshing montage like this, but it's another good one.

Oh, there was these ones too by Mezcaul.
