    Media Ridley Match Analyses, Tips/Discussion

    Don't feel bad about multi-posting, the resources and information that you repeatedly bring to the site are very much appreciated.

    Thanks a million! All of that is invaluable and I'll be sure to study up, I had no idea any of this had been found.

    Ridley Match up Chart

    Please stop continuing to spread misinformation about Ridley's weight, as he is a heavy weight. He has the exact same weight units as Ike (another heavy), and is just a couple shy of Samus/Dark Samus. While not a super heavy like Bowser, K. Rool, Gannon, etc., the fact remains that he is a heavy...

    Do you know of anywhere I could find a tutorial on that tech? Looks sick, and I'd love to add it to my arsenal.

    Ridley Match up Chart

    A universe where you can 4 frame neutral get up from ledge, or read the ledge roll, or the getup attack, etc. You can't consistently combo or confirm into it, but your opponent can give you free skewers if you know the timing/have them conditioned. Regardless, all heavy weights are combo food...

    Surprised to see complaints about Ridley's recovery a year in, it's far from bad and the only help I think it really could use is in the way of airspeed, acceleration and frames. Up-B definitely doesn't need 8-directions or free aim (not that I'd complain should they give us the option, just...

    Media Ridley Match Analyses, Tips/Discussion

    Haven't played since the last patch (simply haven't had the time), but interesting that you say Cloud is a difficult MU. Never had trouble with him as he's super easy to edgeguard (as opposed to ledge trap, which has gone from free to difficult). Going offstage against Cloud is free as he...

    Media Ridley Match Analyses, Tips/Discussion

    Don't have much experience in this matchup myself, but I'd say it's probably not too different from a lot of other zoners. Try not to sit in shield when they throw projectiles at you because you're opening yourself up to a grab, or really whatever option they want. Since Ridley has three jumps...

    I check in from time to time, but the site seems dead from what little activity I ever see.

    Ridley Match up Chart

    A bit late, but just want to mention: Pit/Dark Pit feel unwinnable for me, their movesets invalidate Ridley's greatest asset in his offstage game while outspacing all of his disjoints. Chrom is also an easy +2 with Richter and Simon being even at worst, all three on account of their trash...

    The unfortunate part about Paloops is that they work on: Battlefield, Lylat (center plat only), Smashville, and I've seen evidence that they can potentially work until kill percents on PS (which effectively kills tournament matchups in my region because of our stage list and the way we do bans)...

    Media Ridley Match Analyses, Tips/Discussion

    Any ideas (aside from picking up a secondary) for the Palutena matchup? Obviously the Paloops that were recently brought to light completely invalidate our character, but assuming they're patched out I'd still like to work on the matchup (which honestly feels unwinnable even without their...

    Wolfs getting mega nerfed in 3.0

    Fortunately, the team managed to do it again. Make it look like he got nerfed when in reality the blaster being worse on shield and lower knockback on DSmash don't mean a thing.

    Wolfs getting mega nerfed in 3.0

    I'm sure he'll be nerfed in some way with how many whinos are in the Smash community after they grew up in Smash 4's patch culture. Hopefully Sakurai and co. will spare him similar to how K. Rool and Inkling were spared - by nerfing something inconsequential to appease the dummies and preserving...

    The Wolf&Ridley MU

    That actually helps a lot, thank you very much! Most of my experience against Wolf comes from online play, and that's quite the mixed bag as we all know. I do know this guy doesn't really have a preferred method of play and changes up his style dependent on how the match (or his mood, as he can...
