What secondaries complement Ridley’s matchups?

You gotta be careful.

I've seen several former Ridley mains pick up a secondary, realize they're out-performing Ridley in pretty much every match-up, and then they ultimately drop him for the secondary. Choose wisely and don't spoil yourself with a high-tier pick.

Falco. Just try it. He does really cool stuff to fast fallers and heavies, where I personally stuggled sometimes with Ridley. He especially helps with the R.O.B. matchup in my experience, and is also just really fun to play.

I have the same questions as the poster of this thread but I didn't think making a separate thread would've been a good idea. I've been having difficulties with zoning characters (i.e. toon link, young link. etc.) and was wondering who would be a good character to cover these options..

Nevertheless, I would heed Predatoria's warning here. It always sucks seeing former Ridley mains pick up someone as a secondary to counter Ridley's toughest matchups, and then drop him for said secondary when they realize they outclass Ridley with most matchups. I have fun with the likes of Wolf and Palutena as secondaries, but still.

Any character that beats zoners is generally a good pick. That's why you hear a lot of Falco, Wolf, Palutena etc.
