Smash Ultimate Basic Ridley Guide

I didn't talk about his jab because it's extremely mediocre, however he can jab lock with it so that's cool. I forgot to mention dthrow/ upthrow can kill at extremely high %s, backthrow/ forward throw are just for positioning.

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

[@DabuzSSB]

You right

[@harb1ng3r82]

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.

[@Smasher-bq1uk]

i love how ridley does that little auto taunt after using side b on an enemy :)

[@ethanl5527]

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.

[@bastionunitb7388]

On no a samus charge shot whatever will I do *opens mouth*

[@UltimateTS64]

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

[@homeyduh]

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

[@biddergick2890]

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.

[@TheZepdragon]

Quick tip for showing hitboxes/Disjoints: Use the Super star item it'll show your hurtbox with out you needing to SD continuosly.

[@JOOOP98]

Great guide! I main Ridley so this was really helpful. Looking forward to your next guide.

[@TheJosiahTurner]

I love making shish kabobs with my 60% damage tail it’s so satisfying

[@DKbill]

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👍

[@icepopz1152]

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!

[@gilbert3579]

Dang this is the best ridely guide

[@mudkip96]

My Rildey has a terrible matchup against Peach/Daisy and Wolf due to their projectiles. How do I deal with that?

[@tiqosc1809]

find a oppertunity to land a dtilt and combo them and dont give them time to breath

[@vengeflyking2722]

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.

[@dragonjames4500]

Ridley is so fun. I hope piranha plant will also be fun.

[@andreayton1993]

Thanks bro!

[@xenomaster7263]

So, Ridley’s better than what everyone (admittedly including me) thought. I have found my new main

[@egas8701]

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.

[@k-dawgHI]

Just use the red one 😅 it’s op

[@lethalpenguin61]

Dog don’t main olimar he’s lame af like you are

[@biddergick2890]

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.

[@sonichaven]

Prototype Meta Ridley is the best costume

[@ridori7376]

Meta Ridley and Classic Ridley (purple and green) are better imo

[@giancarlocaballero7684]

That's not a prototype though, that alt is based on Mecha Ridley.

[@starbolt293]

sonichaven my man blue Ridley is best. Meta and normal are second best tho

[@egas8701]

Early notification squad where you at?

[@gapuri100]

I've been waiting...

[@gapuri100]

I mean like a Ridley guide in general, not like insulting DaBuz or anything like that.

[@junkofunko6443]

yo can i get a new botw link guide?

[@theonegod5527]

Bowser guide please

[@danechristian2379]

Is there any good way to use down b?

[@torvus929]

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?

[@Blitz1Blacktail1]

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

[@Zephor]

Please do a palutena guide

[@anthonystone9897]

Don’t get juggled. There ya go

[@williamdavis3376]

Hey I also play the Mecha Ridley skin!

[@shubhdashukla7692]

And now the basic on the thumbnail has to go to the hospital

[@jacobgardner4025]

Will you be playing Rosa still???

[@isiali4501]

shes so much worse in ultimate its so sad : (, still maining her but DAMN i feel it

[@jacobgardner4025]

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

[@ascentric1539]

Joao?

[@TheEvilmonkey25]

Can you talk about Isabelle?

[@RayTheGmr]

Anybody recommend changing from the default GC controls?

[@misterpayne8368]

RayTheGmr yes

[@whitevii1533]

[@colemacgrath9]

[@BiTT_2000]

Basic Ridley guide: SD's 4 times in a row haha. i know it was to show off the disjoints, im just teasin.

[@OST1350]

*Fly, Smacc and don't be a Acc*

[@jeremystinson2124]

I thought Dabuz hates Heavies and bad characters in general?

[@defftony]

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.

[@lethalpenguin61]

defftony just shut the fuck up
