  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's BIGGEST fighter was one of the most notorious fan requests for years. With the evil space pirate finally swooping into Smash, how well does his Smash design reflect his first appearances?

    I find Ridley as a character fascinating. He looks like he's a big brainless murder dinosaur that kills when he's hungry, but in reality, he's sadistic, extremely intelligent and vicious. He doesn't do these things because he's a monster, but because he's a sociopath.
    It's like a serial killer in a giant pterodactyl body, a really bad combination.

      This is actually really well reflected in his moveset, he uses all his limbs for attacks, all of them, even the ones that could be the most easily damaged, it is like he's a evil master mind trapped in a body built for killing, to think he might have an entire species... Wait...

    When you say he is almost the height of Samus it’s actually accurate since Ridley in Metroid on the NES was kind of the same thing.

  • @BradKarmour
    @BradKarmour Před 5 lety +514

    His side special in particular is really interesting since it references Other M, where Ridley drags Samus against a wall... which is a reference to Brawl where he does the exact same thing. Including it is both a callback to Smash AND Metroid! And honestly, the sheer brutality of it in general is extremely fitting.

    Ridley being about the same size as Samus is actually a callback to his original appearance as a boss where he isn't much bigger than samus. It's only the later games that upscaled him to sort of fit that boss - dragon motif. I think its part of the reason why fans clamored that he could be implemented.

    • @needlewind9053

Plus, who managed to stop Tabuu from turning the fighters into trophies again? Sonic. So in a way both dedede and sonic were the ones that were partially heroes of the subspace story. But in the end, all fighters in smash bros stories can be heroes, cuz they stop the evil forces, by joining forces, whether it be a good friend, or an enternal rival. There's no piercing the legend of the smash fighters. They will move forward, and WILL succeed. All they ask for, is the players guidance, to lead them all, to victory.

      Ridley isn’t misunderstood. In the games Ridley is a monster. They don’t call him “cunning god of death” for nothing. I mean it already is fucked up, to think that someone ate your parents, but then bragging about it and shoving it into your face afterwards really crosses the line. Not only that but he is continuing to be your tormentor just out of a sadistic revenge scheme. And that is just plain evil. The other issue is that he just keeps getting back. Even after his final death in Super he managed come back twice from the grabe. Once as a newborn clone, and the other time as an parasitically enhanced organism.

      Canon size doesn't matter, what does matter is the proportions of the characters' designs being aethetically pleasing.
      Olimar, Charizard, Lucario, etc, were all made to be larger in Smash, but their proportions after being sized up still fit the rest of the cast so they look fine. However Ridley's design causes his proportions to still look a little funny in Smash.

    Kirby is cute, masking his true power, while Ridley is very bare about his monstrositaciousness.
    Kirby is the protagonist of his series, with some form of moral compass, while Ridley is the antag who doesn't.
    Ridley to Samus is Whispy Woods to Kirby, but Kirby to Nightmare is Samus to Ridley.

    Glad to have this series back, but how did you forget to mention Ridley dragging opponents across the surface of the stage? That’s one of his two most iconic Smash moves.

    You did a Know Your Moves with my favorite main in all of my Smash game play combined and it took me a whole day to notice... I must be slipping.
