Ridley: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Ridley is a playable character for the first time, announced during the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct. His appearance in this game seems to primarily be based off of that in ''[[metroidwiki:Super Metroid|Super Metroid]]'', while he has a similar size to his appearance in the original ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid (game)|Metroid]]''. His [[Final Smash]] involves him slamming an opponent or opponents against Samus's [[Gunship]] and shooting plasma at the ship; the falling gunship can be seen in the background after the attack. Two of his alternate costumes swap him out for Meta Ridley (although he is still referred to in-game as simply "Ridley").

 

 

In his reveal trailer, "A Piercing Screech" Mario, Mega Man, and Samus Aran are traversing through a mechanical room on a walkway. Ridley stealthily takes Mega Man and Mario out by impaling the former with his tail and crushing the latter's head. Samus eventually senses something amiss and points her arm cannon behind her, only to find Mario's discarded hat. Suddenly, the walkway quakes with Ridley bursting out from underneath and knocking a shocked Samus off her feet. Ridley then proceeds to roar before giving an inhuman smirk as he twirls Mario's hat around his finger. In the ending of the trailer, Ridley, after presumably causing a blaze to kill Samus, is flapping his wings only to glare in slight irritation when Zero Suit Samus uses her jet boots to leap from the blaze and descend down to attack him.
