    Ridley's immense speed actually makes sense due to his ability to fly into space which would mean he could be capable of reaching ESCAPE VELOCITY, roughly 25200 Miles per hour or Mach 33. And this isn't taking into account Ridley's OTHER ridiculous abilities. He is capable of surviving in the vacuum of space for extended periods, his skin is durable enough to withstand numerous hits from high-explosive missiles and directed energy weapons, he has the ability to project streams of high-intensity plasma from his mouth, his regenerative capabilities are incredible, and he's an extremely intelligent tactician and naval commander. His title, Cunning god of Death, is well earned.

    The scary part is that we cant account for how much Ridley himself is pushing down into the asphalt, because it's one thing to let your body "fall" onto someone but it's another thing to also use your muscles to really mince them into nothingness, and also Ridley's slouched so he would also be taller therefore adding even more weight

  • @Beast_Marrow
    @Beast_Marrow Před rokem +17

    Ridley was the character i wanted most in the game. Hearing he could impale using his tail was enough and then i saw his side B and my brain went "Damn, Theyre dead." Makes me love the guy more to be honest. Id love to hear how fast Ridley can fly, We know he can fly in space which would have way less forces acting on him, we know he can fly faster than F-Zero and Samus`s ship. How fast can he truly go? Near speed of sound in an atmosphere then he be tearing through space or foreign atmospheres.

      Except that there’s no way of knowing how large Ridley is. Olimar is canonical about an inch tall, which clearly isn’t true in smash. When playing with smash, you play with smash psychics, meaning this move performed twice only hurts as much and jigglypuff falling asleep on you.

      So, technically no... it wouldn't break the law of conservation of energy: because that law ONLY states that energy cannot be create or destroyed, only altered from one form to another... says NOTHING about a person.
      The Human body (and other living organisms, in general) constantly exchange energy and matter with surroundings. For such open systems, law of conservation of energy is not applicable, meaning congratulations... Ridley can apply all the force he needs to grind his target into oblivion.

    • @angelmendez-rivera351
      @angelmendez-rivera351 Před 4 lety +3

      Condemned Crimson I find it REALLY cute that you, a random Internet stranger, are trying to educate me, a trained physicist with several degrees, on how the law of conservation of energy works.
      This video posits that Ridley grinds their opponents to death such that their bodies desintegrate into particulate matter disjointed at the atomic level. This is consistent with both conservation of matter and energy. However, the comment of grinding them out of existence implies grinding the matter itself out of existence. This is what I claimed is impossible. It is impossible precisely because it is equivalent to violating energy conservation. This is because while you can convert atoms into non-atoms, those non-atoms are still matter. Even if you break the nucleus of the atom apart into flying protons and neutrons, you still have matter. Protons and neutrons are, by definition, matter. More specifically, baryonic matter, of the hadronic type. Neutrons may decay into protons, but these protons and neutrons can never be grinded "out of existence," because that is violation of conservation of matter. You cannot turn fermions into bosons, and even more, you cannot simply destroy fermions and turn them into literal nonexistence. It does not work like this. This is simply impossible by the laws of quantum physics.
      Anyhow, what this does mean is that grinding *anything* out of existence is simply impossible, because such a command is even stronger than simply grinding it into particulate matter. And a person being dead is not quite the same as not existing, and if it were, then saying that grinding a person into particulate matter is not already synonymous to grinding them out of existence is stupid. Either way, that makes me correct in both scenarios.

      As a rule for hypothetical math undershooting is usually better and has less hyperbole than overshooting it, and worst case scenario, add to the numbers. So all in all, most characters aren't upwards of 7ft in smash, and with full height and weight it only gets worse presumably.
