Ridley pauses and winds up before performing a sudden tail stab. It has a long startup and hits some distance away. It does a mere 5% of damage and flinches if he hits with the base or very tip of his tail, but if the sweet spot at the center of Ridley's tail barb connects, the target will be impaled while being dealt almost 10 times as much damage | Ridley pauses and winds up before performing a sudden tail stab. It has a long startup and hits some distance away. It does a mere 5% of damage and flinches if he hits with the base or very tip of his tail, but if the sweet spot at the center of Ridley's tail barb connects, the target will be impaled while being dealt almost 10 times as much damage - 45% with initial stab and a further 10% when Ridley retracts his tail, for among the highest total damage of a single attack across the entire roster. Conversely, both the sour spot and the sweet spot deal very little shield damage, however. The sweet spot hit causes the opponent to [[crumple]], similarly to a fully charged [[Focus Attack]]. Despite requiring very specific precision, it is capable of piercing two opponents at once, though the extra damage from Ridley yanking out his tail will only apply to the "main" target. While the sweet spot deals extreme damage, the opponent gets to act 4 frames before Ridley, making followup attacks based on reading the opponent's getup option. During the sweet spotted Skewer animation, Ridley is invulnerable and cannot be made to flinch or take damage. Skewer is one of the few special moves in the game that will cause a [[Special Zoom]]. | ||
When landed in the air, Skewer will simply send the victim at a roughly 30 degree arch after the tail yank, and has low set knockback. During the animation, neither Ridley or the stabbed victim are affected by gravity, though they will descend after Ridley yanks his tail out, meaning the crumple animation can still occur if both are low enough to the ground. Ridley is actually able to act before the opponent in this circumstance, but the launch distance and Ridley's fall speed prevents any true follow ups. | When landed in the air, Skewer will simply send the victim at a roughly 30 degree arch after the tail yank, and has low set knockback.
