A character that is known for flying around and is seen flying in every appearance has a bad recovery. Even his Final Smash has him chasing Samus' ship by flying, but he basically can't recover and get back to the stage. That makes a lot of sense.
From what I know his up b works like this: There are only 4 angles, straight up, forward and a little down, back and a little up, down and a little forward. So yeah, it wasnt a mistake, the move just sucks.
It's just up/down/left/right. Going forward makes you go down/forward. Going back makes you go up/back. You basically have to b-reverse up b all the time. Its really annoying.
@Joshua Giesey It is no an early build thing, that is how the Up B is intentionally designed so far. I think in Sakurai explained it in the direct that Ridley was revealed in.
@@HatredSonneillon in the treehouse right after the E3 Direct ended he said you could input Ridley's up b in any direction, but in the E3 demo it's only 4 or 5 directions. Either Sakurai or his translator misspoke, or the move isn't/wasn't finished
Ridley is such a disappointment. Huge candidate for the first batch of buffs Ridley is not even heavy btw. Kirby swallowed and did 15% to nearby opponents. Putting him in the MARIO-RYU weight range. Dair does spike that at the beginning like Bowser's
Very disappointed to hear about his trash recovery. Hopefully Sakurai takes patches seriously for this game. Making weak characters more viable will be key. I for one don’t wanna see the same 4 characters make it to EVO every year.
This game seems like it's more balanced this time around and that a lot of the top tier characters are very equal in how good they are. It's too early to tell but smash 4 definitely had balancing issues. Bayonetta and cloud as far as I can see.
Why didn't they just give Ridley the Pogo Tail attack he does in Super Metroid instead another generic "you're coming down with me" attack? The pogo attack is game accurate and it would have been a good move. It was literally there on a silver platter for the developers.
Worse than Falcon Punch, because the added benefit of a crumple a la Focus Attack only would apply on grounded opponents, I actually don't know how the move behaves hitting the sweet spot on an aerial opponent or if it even can sweetspot if the opponent isn't on the ground
It's Falcon Punch, but it can't kill, so it loses a lot of utility and style points in favor of just opening your foe up to be side-B'd after you call their wakeup option.
Thankfully, Ridley seemed to have gotten minor tweaks since E3. Enough to make him less exploitable. Down B ignores shield when aimed right now, and while his recovery is still kinda slow, it has massive priority and actual angles to work with. also for some reason, his tail moves were given immense priority against attacks, able to Nair through MegaMan's projectiles with no issue, and stop a full charge shot while off stage without even breaking Ridley's momentum. This means that a Ridley player will likely be a lot more predictable however. His tail moves having such a huge defensive usage will make easy to predict how they'll tackle aggression and projectiles, and only so many moves on Ridley use his tail safely enough to prevent his hurtbox from being nipped by larger attacks. Though overall, he appears viable in high level play with how easily he can go into his advantage states and general fast frame data coupled with solid kill moves like the Up Smash and Bair.
More like they just finally let him access the directions. You can see all over that Ridley's up b can go all sorts of directions, even diagonally, but it looks like these were neigh impossible to access and would default to basic directions like up. The very recent demo shown people being able to regularly use it at slanted angles and it seems that Ridley in general just controls way easier
@@biglangley8779 do you have any source/video of it? his upB can go in 4 different directions: straight up, forward/down, back/down and back/up. this didn't change, did it?
14:28 I love how Samus backs up, right before he attacks. Like " I'm not scared. Uh, I'm just gonna step back a little...maybe a little more." Great attention to detail.
@@TheWEGrunner True and not sure about this but I think Ridley's down b has less lag overall, potentially making it safer on whiff. Not sure though if someone knows please leave a reply
They can just wait at the ledge, ledgedrop double jump back with an aerial or roll, it's way too laggy to reliably cover ledge options. Anything with 30~35+ frames of startup will almost never hit in competitive play unless you get an extremely hard read or shield break
On the topic of Ridley's Down B Every time this move is brought up, people are either saying: "OMG, this move does so much damage, it takes you to kill percent in one hit and sets you up for a tech chase, it's so broken, NERF!" Or "Ugh, this move so slow and can't combo and you'll never land it, needs a buff." I just think Ridley's Down-B will just be an okay move. It'll be situational and hard to use but will have really good reward, the move's two extremes will balance it out. Not everything is Black and White.
a lot of comparisons to Falcon Punch going around, it has even less utility than that move but the payoff for hitting it is higher. I don't anticipate that low utility doing much for Ridley in the meta but it might for some hype match highlights
@Joshua Giesey No, the diagonals are the directions. There's up, Forward/Down, a Forward-leaning downward dive, and Back/Up. I've actively tried it on the game and that's just the way this works based on if you hit up, down, forward, or back. Thankfully, though, you can turn with each jump because he can fly, so if you have a jump to spare you can just burn it to turn the other direction if you need to hit something up and to the left while facing left, for example... not that you'd be using his Up B for that coverage much, anyways. You're mostly going to use it just to beat out grounded attacks with its priority or to hit things in front of/below you that his Dair wouldn't normally hit going straight down.
The big thing is that Ridley's Up B isn't broken, it only moves in one of four directions and each of those directions has a set angle to it. So like you can potentially MAYBE mix someone up between the down-forward Up B down special and the foot dive if you're a bit off-center. And it's still SUPER slow, but it does still kill so if you forward Up B, you're going to just slide across the stage without gaining air to make the thing a bit safer to use.
One thing I have to say is if you are hanging on the edge and being edge guarded with Ridley you can tilt left stick to the right or left the jump up side b and then next thing you know you are edge guarding them
Cannot wait to play the game myself. I really want to try out my current main Zelda. I also play a bit of Roy and toon link. I'm interested in Richer and want to try him out but personally, I'm more of a close-up melee kind of player so I'm definitely not going to main him but he looks fun to play as.
Thank you M2K. I like how much more honest and sincere you are about things in the games compared to Zero or others that are just making sure to shill and hype everything with almost no criticism or deeper analysis, making buck off their quickly made opinions. Pisses me off how Zero was just saying bullshit like "RIDLEY SEEMED LIKE THE BEST CHARACTER IN THE DEMO." He's such a bad shill. Mad respect for people like you that don't play the hype game and care about saying the truth instead of hyping everything like some annoying Let's Players playing to the younger and dumber crowd.
Hard to understand but is he talking about E3 build Ridley? Or has he actually got to try the final demo build Ridley? Not sure if he was changed at all between the two just curious
Garrett Stewart Just because something COULD HAVE changed doesn’t mean it DID change. This video should NOT be disregarded as it goes over basic, general, and fundamental aspects of the character that were likely not changed a lot from E3 as that would require a major overhaul of Ridley conceptually which could negatively affect the game’s balance. Besides, M2K mentions the things that will probably/were probably change/d.
Marth X I personally love the animation changes. It give the character a lot more flair and personality. Before, he was quite bland. The only one I don’t like is d-smash, but that’s purely because I just don’t like how it looks.
Man I wish they bring back gliding and tweak if so that players can't abuse it by like going under the stage, that way so Ridley can have a good recovery
@Space Taco ty! dkc3 is very underrated and I think its better than dkc but dkc2 only beats it by a landslide! also kiddy kong should make a return along with the rest of the Kong's as well :E
I'm not sure how you guys would feel about this, but I think if they make Ridley's down b do high shield damage sorta like Marth's neutral b and make it push back characters when shielded, it could potentially be fixed
After reading some comments, i do hope Ridley's recovery wasn't finished for the game version you played and gets improved. Like yeah, Ridley has multiple jumps (3 they say? 2 extra after the double jump?), can air-dodge if necessary and maybe his command grab can be used for mix-up recovery? Kinda like Incineroar, bad up-b but side-b for mixed recovery (if it can be used multiple times without getting them into freefall, that is) With those tools, it doesn't seem too bad. In worst case scenario, having to b-reverse the recovery will be annoying. Who knows, Ridley might be the anti-cape shenanigans with that type of recovery.
HeyHoRangerJooo it’s a mechanic in smash where you can slightly change the angle you get launched at that can allow you to survive a bit longer or to get out of a combo
@@HeyHoRangerJooo DI or Directional Influence is a mechanic unique to Smash. As you get you get put in a special state called hitstun this is when you can input di. Woth do you can slightly change the angle you fly at when you get hit making what would otherwise be kill moves survivable
having that many projectiles stocked might actually be OP the other examples are all powerful one-shot kills that require very precise, careful placement to work. Ridley would go from low tier to SFV Guile levels of annoyingly overpowered.
I also played Ridley yea he is pretty fun to use his moves need some buffs ,once you hit him it's tough for him to get out of combos love Ridley alot tho cool he is here
Is he able to side b then up b? Also, sucks to hear that his recovery angles are that horrid. I would hope that he could angle it any direction like fox's up b. but on the flip side, in theory, with multiple jumps, a fast nair, and a decent bair, he should be strong at edge guarding
@Joshua Giesey No need to be an asshole, I'm just correcting some misinformation I found in the comments about Ridley's recovery and how his aerial game works.
One more jump, faster aerial maneuverability, improved Dair, completely reworked UpB. Maybe more weight. Just give up on DownB. He could work, just feels too slow/predicatble at the things he's supposed to be good at. Giving him more landing options would already be a huge improvement.
I feel like his up b should have been swoop of sorts that grabbed opponents and slammed them into the ground. Ridley's whole thing should be grappling and throwing his opponents around as a large space dragon
@@PBLKGaming really ? I could have sworn it did in his tralier when he did a one or maybe it was the flurry of tail stabs that it shown link drop to the floor then explodes
@@bigjars1150 not saying his up b will keep him in low tier, just saying his stuggles to land combined with this move have the chance to bring him down to low tier. Since problems with landing safely isn't exactly something easily buffed, his up b would be the move that gets a buff and if it is buffed there is zero chance he'll be low tier. He could even be mid tier if it isn't buffed but there is a chance
Incineroar only did that much damage because he countered a Lucario f-smash when Lucario was at 116%. That f-smash would have dealt 32% with the new 1v1 multiplier, and Incineroar took almost 8% of it when he countered. With any other counter, it would have done loads of damage, not to mention that he had to hit an extra move, his own slow f-smash, to actually get the 66% damage in. Although I do admit, Ridley's down-special looks pretty trash.
He needs at least another jump (he has wings for God's sake), and his Up-B definitely needs to be fixed with the angles and whatnot. And he needs to be heavier. Literally Samus is heavier, which makes zero sense with Ridley always being bigger than Samus in the Metroid series.
HUMΛN to challenge a move is to meet force with force like dash attacking a falcon punch windup to respect it is to make way and wait for the attack and strike when it is over
@@mrmoo5181 how is it bad compared to it? I want to know if I should get a GameCube controller for this game or if I should just stick with my pro controller
@@Escoluis1 There are a few videos actually showing that GameCube controller has less input lag then a pro controller for smash 4 by MySmashCorner.

@inhealth you can mitigate the input lag and charge issue by using it wired. There are advantages to the pro controllers as well such as the digital triggers. I think it’s a preference thing.

Please please please patch characters correctly this time sakurai. Give buffs to all the low tiers to balance them with everyone else and nerf ONLY broken characters. I just want a balanced smash game for once.
that's asking for a lot with a 70+ character roster. Not impossible though. I hope they were serious when they said they'd be looking at Elite Battle results for direction on game balance.

I use the Switch pro controller for Rivals of Aether and it is a solid controller and better for shooters and other games but for a game like Smash the Gamecube is better but it's not by a huge margin or anything

Up-B can only go straight up or at a downward angle above off stage. If you are on or above stage is the only time you can use the upward angles

I feel like his up b should have been swoop of sorts that grabbed opponents and slammed them into the ground. Ridley's whole thing should be grappling and throwing his opponents around as a large space dragon
I like him so far☺️ I’d appreciate a buff on his up special but since it’s a semi reliable kill move I forgave it really quickly
If you see this what did you think of using the pro controller? How did you like it?
Major buffs big time
I get it
Jason! Do the HOO HAH!
So how does the one stock kill confirm with his tail work ? I dont know if he covered it or not
His tail doesn't kill confirm.
@@PBLKGaming really ? I could have sworn it did in his tralier when he did a one or maybe it was the flurry of tail stabs that it shown link drop to the floor then explodes
That's just sweetspot down B killing link in stamina mode. Down B does no knockback
@@PBLKGaming i see ite thanks for the info
Up Special only goes four directions.
I didn't understand Ridley's dair. Does he stop falling after a few frames and autocancels like Sonic or he keeps falling to his death like Toon Link?
Toon link
m2k this is cool but you should do captain falcon next
If they fix his up b I'm guessing at minimum he'll be mid tier
OP he already is mid-tier. His up-b is his only super bad problem. He has really good frame data on a lot of his moves
His Up-B being like this is 100% intentional
@@RosettaGXA just cause it's intentional doesn't mean it doesn't need to be fixed
@@bigjars1150 not saying his up b will keep him in low tier, just saying his stuggles to land combined with this move have the chance to bring him down to low tier. Since problems with landing safely isn't exactly something easily buffed, his up b would be the move that gets a buff and if it is buffed there is zero chance he'll be low tier. He could even be mid tier if it isn't buffed but there is a chance
@@OP_Quag It's not gonna be that hard to land with Ridley. you could just go to the ledge and catch them with a side b
So incineroar gets to do 70% in one hit, but Ridley can’t combo sweetspot-down special to f-smash?
incineroar can do 70?? what move is that?
Kay!!! F-smash after revenge boost
If it combos into down tilt that would at least make it worth landing since down tilt combos into other moves
Incineroar only did that much damage because he countered a Lucario f-smash when Lucario was at 116%. That f-smash would have dealt 32% with the new 1v1 multiplier, and Incineroar took almost 8% of it when he countered. With any other counter, it would have done loads of damage, not to mention that he had to hit an extra move, his own slow f-smash, to actually get the 66% damage in.
Although I do admit, Ridley's down-special looks pretty trash.
Inceniroar is also garbage with even more trash recovery.
Ah, what do you know?
He needs at least another jump (he has wings for God's sake), and his Up-B definitely needs to be fixed with the angles and whatnot. And he needs to be heavier. Literally Samus is heavier, which makes zero sense with Ridley always being bigger than Samus in the Metroid series.
Please do a Cloud analysis!
....... He’s Cloud.
So he's gonna be the new zelda, good advantage, terrible neutral that means he never gets to his advantage state?
B-D Tier is where I see Ridley
... So 80% of the tier list. Okay, dumbass.
RIPley
That's funny
Don't worry, he'll be buffed. The game isn't even out yet.
What does he mean by “respecting”?
HUMΛN to challenge a move is to meet force with force like dash attacking a falcon punch windup to respect it is to make way and wait for the attack and strike when it is over
fix your video description, biggest addition* to the smash bros roster
I actually hope to one day work for TSM or MVG for Smash Bros! Gaming is really just everything to me
Have you looked Up the Websites of them? Maybe they are currently searching.
And do you mean AS a high level player or something different?
Tech chase down b would be stupid good
M2K rocks back or forth like a crackhead... this mans seen things
the power of the 'tism comes at heavy cost
5:13 What is meant by this?
Pro controller is bad compared to a game cube controller. harder to do the input
@@mrmoo5181 how is it bad compared to it? I want to know if I should get a GameCube controller for this game or if I should just stick with my pro controller
Pro controller is just as capable, it’s just that most smash pros are used to playing with a gc controller
@@Escoluis1 There are a few videos actually showing that GameCube controller has less input lag then a pro controller for smash 4 by MySmashCorner. And the holes on the C-Stick make it easier to do tilts on the gamecube and GameCube doesn't need to be charged up but its not wireless also like a pro controller and way more many reasons lol. Watch the video I recommended. "MySmashCorner GameCube Controller vs Pro Controller" I think that's the name
@inhealth you can mitigate the input lag and charge issue by using it wired. There are advantages to the pro controllers as well such as the digital triggers. I think it’s a preference thing.
I love you
ridley only can up b in four directions
Ridley needs to be strong.
Why all the hype just for him to be bottom of the cast?
Can we Ridleycide?
Colm O'Hagan kinda on maps like flat zone with blast zones connected to ground he will drag you to the blast zone but die first however if you launch them prior well use your imagination same goes for off stage
Please please please patch characters correctly this time sakurai. Give buffs to all the low tiers to balance them with everyone else and nerf ONLY broken characters. I just want a balanced smash game for once.
that's asking for a lot with a 70+ character roster. Not impossible though. I hope they were serious when they said they'd be looking at Elite Battle results for direction on game balance. Hopefully this means the best players will be doing online consistently so that we get actually have the right character balance changes done
Snake?
He'll be good
Pause at 6:51
Please do marth
*rocks back and forth*
*eye twitches*
Down B doesn't seem awful to me, I mean...Falcon Punch is slow.
We Remotely Low and used purely for flare and a cheeky kill that down special doesn’t even confirm
@@cptcolgenltmajor9246 It still gets the job done. Situational? Yes. But hey, you're not gonna use every tool on a swiss army knife every day.
はげとるやないか！
King k. Rool
His up b is pretty bad. I feel like he needs a different move entirely
"Pro Controller meta"? How is pro controller any less viable than GCN? It's a solid controller
There are a few videos actually showing that GameCube controller has less input lag then a pro controller for smash 4 by MySmashCorner. And the holes on the C-Stick make it easier to do tilts on the gamecube and GameCube doesn't need to be charged up but its not wireless also like a pro controller and way more many reasons lol. Watch the video I recommended. "MySmashCorner GameCube Controller vs Pro Controller" I think that's the name
I think He is reffering to the Demo days and/ or new players that use the standard Controller while most veterans use the gc-controller.
The pro-Controller is solid but there is a tendency that many Players using it are, and No inult, not very experienced.
I use the Switch pro controller for Rivals of Aether and it is a solid controller and better for shooters and other games but for a game like Smash the Gamecube is better but it's not by a huge margin or anything
Why must every Metroid rep be bad except for ZSS... even then she got nerfed... EVERY METROID REP IS BAD OR NERFED. WHY
he said "off the level" you zero is rubbing off on m2k

mew2king bouncing around like a tweak in the beginning
Ridley's UpB can't go diagonally. Only up, down, left, and right. And yes it's awful.
Yo m2k you alright? Are they giving you enough bathroom breaks?
its sad for me because i like playing ridley but he just has the worst up b and it really ruins it for me
His wings are literally bigger than small and mid sized characters yet his recovery is garbage.
