Ridley in this game feels like the sick lovechild of Falcon and Link. He moves fast, sets traps and vortex’s the opponent, has a god-awful disadvantage, has big-ass moves that are a tad bit slow, air-to-airs like nobody’s business, and just hits like a train.
Don't forget that if you charge neutral b and get hit you take lots of damage, but no knockback. You can basically ignore knockback while charging, and that's good for niche situations.
Thank you so much, this is like the only actual guide I found for Ridley, all the other videos just talk about his moves. It's like I already know his moves I need to see where to use them and some combos
I am loving Ridley, thanks for the guide Dabuz, and for adding what you missed in the description. I hope to see more guides from you. Palutena? Olimar? Those would be nice. Also, I'm wondering who's your counterpick vs. Inkling atm👍
Haven’t watched video yet so unsure if this is in it, but on omega/battlefield stages you can full hop right off the edge, dair, double jump and still recover with Up b. It’s good for edge guarding give it a try. On a side note, hold up d pad before your Ridley victory screens!
After close ranged neutral b. People fleeing from a chain. Succesful Ledgetraps (very good as Ridley is pretty darn good at it). Punishes. Tech chases. Gotta be confident to throw it out, so look for consistency when it comes to sitiuations. Make your opponent fear it. It allows other options to work out better
Will we get more Olimar videos? I’m maining him in ultimate and I need help with him, mainly to know what I have to practice, for example, which pikmins I should use where, and then practice :D.
Blue Pikmin have the strongest throw Red does the most damage Think yellow has most range Purple has most knockback And I think white does most lingering damage when thrown onto the opponent. I’m pretty sure that’s the quality of each pikmin I could be wrong. Just order them to the play style that you want.
That sir is NOT it. Ridley has an opponent conditioning chain that is sick, seems like people don’t know about it though. Full hop nair with steering to start. Then counter their counter by air jumping once before nair. If they catch on to both, go between 2 and 3 jumps till they aren’t ready for 1 jump. Also mix in full jump into down air into jab. The timing is perfect on the moves to punish their punish attempt (don’t jab if dair lands). Also if they try to escape the pressure altogether, Jump into down b while they are heading towards you so that they flee into the tipper. Single midair fireball can be mixed in too. Works good for a lot of swords chars and projectile chars.

You missed a golden opportunity you could have called this dabuzz teaches dabasics
You right

i love how ridley does that little auto taunt after using side b on an enemy :)
Don't forget that if you charge neutral b and get hit you take lots of damage, but no knockback.

On no a samus charge shot whatever will I do
*opens mouth*
Thank you so much, this is like the only actual guide I found for Ridley, all the other videos just talk about his moves. It's like I already know his moves I need to see where to use them and some combos
When i condition people by using Dair a couple of times, I'll throw them off by using Up B angled down. The delay throws them off
Ray Luna Good idea! I didn’t think of that. And up b downward angle seems like it can be a good ledge trap option.
Quick tip for showing hitboxes/Disjoints: Use the Super star item it'll show your hurtbox with out you needing to SD continuosly.
I love making shish kabobs with my 60% damage tail it’s so satisfying

My Rildey has a terrible matchup against Peach/Daisy and Wolf due to their projectiles. How do I deal with that?
find a oppertunity to land a dtilt and combo them and dont give them time to breath
I played a ness that spammed pk fire and it seemed like he can combo the flame pillar into side smash. He could also grab if i forgot to di.
Great guide! I main Ridley so this was really helpful. Looking forward to your next guide.
Ridley is so fun. I hope piranha plant will also be fun.
Dang this is the best ridely guide

So, Ridley’s better than what everyone (admittedly including me) thought. I have found my new main
Is there any good way to use down b?
If they're bad you can down throw into down b
Edit: well maybe not bad but if they don't know the matchup yknow?
After close ranged neutral b. People fleeing from a chain. Succesful Ledgetraps (very good as Ridley is pretty darn good at it). Punishes. Tech chases.
Gotta be confident to throw it out, so look for consistency when it comes to sitiuations. Make your opponent fear it. It allows other options to work out better
Prototype Meta Ridley is the best costume
Meta Ridley and Classic Ridley (purple and green) are better imo
That's not a prototype though, that alt is based on Mecha Ridley.
sonichaven my man blue Ridley is best. Meta and normal are second best tho
Will we get more Olimar videos? I’m maining him in ultimate and I need help with him, mainly to know what I have to practice, for example, which pikmins I should use where, and then practice :D.
Just use the red one 😅 it’s op
Dog don’t main olimar he’s lame af like you are
Blue Pikmin have the strongest throw
Red does the most damage
Think yellow has most range
Purple has most knockback
And I think white does most lingering damage when thrown onto the opponent. I’m pretty sure that’s the quality of each pikmin I could be wrong. Just order them to the play style that you want.
Will you be playing Rosa still???
shes so much worse in ultimate its so sad : (, still maining her but DAMN i feel it
dabuz I feel that man. I’m the guy who was talking to you about lessons at dh atl so I’ll prob be trying to get that set up soon

Thanks bro!
Hey I also play the Mecha Ridley skin!

Please do a palutena guide
I've been waiting...
I mean like a Ridley guide in general, not like insulting DaBuz or anything like that.
Sounds like balanced melee sheik
do samus

defftony just shut the fuck up
@@lethalpenguin61 Fuck off he's trying to help.
I thought Dabuz hates Heavies and bad characters in general?
