How did this happen?
No combo potential
Levi Torres
Andrew James
Sakurai added him reluctantly as a huge middle finger to autistic onion-chugging westerners
Colton Lee
We told you he was too big, pham. You didn't listen.
Jaxson Long
>it’s all true
FUUUUUXK AAAAAAAAhhhhhhhHhhhhh
What makes it ducking worse is he could be good but isn’t. It’s awful
Jason Wilson
He has some of the best off stage play thanks to the extra jump and great arials. He's mid tier. Go play peach if you want to be competitive, faggot.
Take a shower.

Landon Fisher
he'll get his turn with a patch soon
Kayden Sanchez
He's fun in casuals, literally plays like ganon.

Jaxson Roberts
>He has some of the best off stage play
If his recovery wasn't fucking shit and his dair didn't force-dive I would probably agree.
>nair only real viable move
>fair if you want to carry opponents off-stage at your own expense
>bair is good for denial from on stage
>nobody ever uses dair
>side special only useful if opponent is trying to recover from below and you jump out of it, but demands you to land it or you just gimped yourself
>down special not worth using off stage
>neutral special also not worth using off stage
>Recovery is only thing that gets you back to stage, but is easily the most ass-backwards recovery since it's always at a slight angle regardless of direction
Ganondorf has more off-stage presence than Ridley does.
Liam Baker
I had to stop playing smash for some time just cause of quickplay and lobbies not being fun and everybody using the same bullshit characters
Jaxson Bell
as a day one ridley main, it's very predictable
the best upside is cheeky offstage side-b kills and the huge up-b hithox, but once people know about those it's easy to deal with
Caleb Perry
Ridley is the easiest character to gimp offstage except maybe Donkey Kong
Colton Martin
If Ridley had a similar "7 hit guarantee" like Ganondorf has, Ridley's lack of combos wouldn't be as punishing.
Benjamin Cooper
>Ridley
>Mid tier
He is bottom tier
Noah Miller
Unless you guys fight nothing but Lucas and snake idk who is gimping you guys.
Jackson Thomas
Vro you can also up-b forward to stage like fox, everyone but k rool/inkling has easy to punish recovery imo.
Julian Turner
Most credulous tier lists place him outside of the bottom 20.
Could you win a tournament with any talent above middling using just Ridley? Very unlikely. But by simpling having a tool as strong as nair, one of the best aerials in the game, and generally functioning in a lot of other areas, he does pretty well for himself compared to proper garbage.
Asher Gray
He's okay with a good balance of merits. Unfortunately that means he's unviable and can't beat top tiers with retard framedata and combos
Chase Stewart
Ridley feels like half a character. He has 3 viable moves, the rest are virtually useless since they are slow and/or gimmicky.
