>if you abuse his weaknesses you shitstomp him
>if you don't he shitstomps you
>there's no room for an actually run fight
Can we agree that this purple faggot is the least fun fighter in the smash franchise?
If you abuse his weaknesses you shitstomp him
Jayden Richardson
Julian Reed
No
Mason Morales
How can you possibly enjoy only one-sided shitstomps all day?
Jack Allen
I just really like Ridley and his playstyle.
Samuel Bell
so explain to a fag that doesn't follow smash what his weakness is
Dominic Nelson
>big body makes for easy combo food
>slightly lighter than Samus but while being bigger
Bentley Long
So I take it you haven't been abusing his weaknesses?
Landon Ortiz
What this guy said plus
>bad recovery despite having multi jumps, Up B sucks dick
>pretty bad movepool, a lot of his aerials are weak and have bad range compared to his size
>despite having a fast dash it picks up speed really slowly meaning hes not actually fast, especially since his size makes him easy to hit during dash.
Overall one of the worst characters in the game. He has most of the disadvantages of a big body and lacks many of the advantages.
Ryder Martin
You literally just described every character in every fighting game you fag.
Gavin Clark
so how does he shitstomp good people then if he's apparantly so weak
or is he just a noobstomper?
Luke Ramirez
This. When I'm Ganondorf I find him to be the ripest target. I've never reliably landed so many unfortunate hits than on Ridley.
Jayden Cook
He doesnt shitstomp anyone, OP is a retard.
Obviously if someone is worse enough than you any character can beat them.
Blake Sullivan
A good player isnt going to not abuse his weaknesses.
Jose Reyes
He does though. He has a guaranteed 3-pop-drop if you manage to eat a fireball.
Jordan Jenkins
>tfw getting hit by one Gordo two times
Cameron Hall
>getting hit by his fireballs
Lol
Nolan Myers
>mfw fireballing Clouds, Ganons, Falcons, or anyone with a linear recovery
Jaxson Reed
>mfw tapping the button and utterly fucking their recovery with just one fireball
Xavier Adams
>fireballing people who are right in front of you
>fireballing people who are off the stage
>fireballing people while you're off the stage
I love this pirate.
Landon Jones
He may not be the best but he damn sure is fun to play.
Charles Murphy
And if someone hits you when you're beginning your fireballs you take extra damage.
Andrew Young
Are there people that actually charge fireballs when they're right next to their opponent?
Daniel Hill
Ridley is at the absolute bottom of the bottom tier. Anyone with even a modicum of skill can easily trounce a Ridley player.
Adam Roberts
little mac is the exact same thing except in the extreme
Ryder Ortiz
He's not that bad. There are characters that are worse than him.
Luis Phillips
Too many people ITT haven’t fought an actually good Ridley player or they’re baiting toobig fags. Ridley is mid tier.
Brody Myers
This happens with ranged attacks on Ridley as well, user.
.. Didn't you know that?
Henry Baker
They clearly haven't seen some of his tournament performances.
Christopher Reyes
There's nothing more satisfying to me than splat bomb sniping a Ridley as he's trying to upb back stage. His recovery is dog shit.
Juan Howard
Yeah but I try not to charge it while fighting them onstage.
Logan Gonzalez
>bad range
>weak aerials
Fucking what?
Nair, d tilt and f tilt are massive
Fair is a good fast move
Bair and up air are okay
Dair is the only actually afwul move
Up smash is ridicoulsly good
Fireballs are good projectiles
Side b takes the oppenent into disadvantage immediately
Jace Thompson
Whatever we got free buffs kek
Levi Moore
You think he'll get buffs in 3.0?
Christopher King
his ledge grabs will be faster :^)
Julian Murphy
Rework that damn Up B already
Asher Barnes
Delet this
Leo Thomas
Ridley's recovery is baffling to me. Why not just make it so you can aim it 360 degrees? Why does he have the weird cardinal directions shit? You'd think a character who spends 100% of his in-game boss fights flying would have a better recovery.
Jose Nguyen
>he’s never been hit by a side b below the stage
Lol
Camden Evans
I just hate how his recovery can kill or save you depending on which side of the stage you're on. its inconsistent.
Ryder Edwards
>when you're off stage and shitters get to close to the edge
Angel Lewis
I guess they thought it'd be broken if he could go 360. I don't see why it would be, but there you go.
Luis Perez
Ridley appears to be an exercise on "the devs thought this would be too strong so they fucked it up and it's shit."
Gabriel Jackson
Shit takes forever to charge like Fire Fox. Not sure how they think it'd be broken.
Joshua Richardson
people bring up his recovery a lot but its not that bad. Its just janky when you don't understand how it works so people try him out and SD with it and think THATS the reason hes a mediocre character. Its not. He sucks because other than your opponent missing a tech so you get a jab lock he has really terrible to no kill confirms. Hes huge so he gets comboed like all heavies but he doesn't have the weight to justify it so he still dies early.
how to actually buff ridley:
give him a fourth jump to encourage his superior air game
make down tilt have much lower knockback scaling and enough frames more of hitstun that you can chain rar bair so he has at least one solid kill confirm
MAKE HIM A SUPERHEAVYWEIGHT
there: top of mid tier, at least. Only scrubs who don't understand him as a character think up b needs to change.
Carson Bailey
His nair is pretty good and hard to deal with for several characters, and while his recovery isn't great, at least his up B is hard to punish with a massive hitbox and no hurtbox on the wings.
Evan Morales
Ridley should switch weights with Incineroar
Adrian Diaz
also why does ridleys command grab have twice the end lag of incineroars? Incineroars is objectively better, kills at 100 when ridleys kills at 130-150 and can be mashed out of in the majority of situations. Makes no sense.
Caleb Rodriguez
Makes sense that a "grappler" would have a better command grab.
Xavier Smith
Who cares how good or bad he is. He’s fun to fight and fight as. There are plenty of characters in this game who are neither that are much more deserving of complaints.
Nathaniel Cox
Teah but why the fuck do ganon qnd bowser also have better command grabs
Juan Bennett
That's a good point
Lucas Murphy
fpbp
Brandon Brooks
Nerf his side B to the ground and you can have anything you want
Joshua Rodriguez
not everyone uses palutena you tier whore
Jace Rivera
No, this pink shit is. Try playing FFA or doubles with one of these faggots. I guarantee you they will use no more than 3 moves.
