Ridley (SSBU)

Line 837:

**Who cannot [[wall jump]] and lacks a [[tether]].

*[[Masahiro Sakurai]] has stated in an interview that Ridley's down taunt is among his favorite taunts in the game.<ref>https://nintendoeverything.com/sakurai-on-smash-bros-ultimate-tempo-items-changes-and-additions-choosing-taunts-much-more/2/</ref>

*Although Ridley is fought as a giant in nearly half the amount of Classic Mode routes he appears in (appearing in 13 routes total), Diddy Kong and Bayonetta are the only characters who fight a default-sized Ridley in an alternate costume.

*Ridley’s Classic Mode route is vaguely similar to {{SSBU|Olimar}}’s, as both characters fight space pilots for opponents.

*Ridley is the only character to face someone other than {{SSBU|Dark Samus}} on [[Frigate Orpheon]] in his route, he faces {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}} instead.

*Ridley is one of two newcomers (the other being {{SSBU|Inkling}}) to be in a veteran's gallery on the official website, specifically {{SSBU|Marth}}'s.

*Ridley has the fastest running speed out of all the newcomers, running at the same speed as Charizard.

**If his side special is used on an opponent, Ridley moves faster than Sonic's running speed.

*Ridley is unlocked through {{SSBU|Yoshi}}'s unlock column, referencing the fact that both characters are reptiles and have the ability to breath fire.

**Ridley also appears as an opponent in Yoshi's Classic Mode, ''Jurassic Journey''.

**Yoshi's unlock column also features {{SSBU|Marth}}, {{SSBU|Lucina}} and {{SSBU|Chrom}}, all of which have faced a giant malevolent dragon (much like Ridley) as their arch-enemy.

***Ridley is also fought in Marth's Classic Mode route, ''A Kingdom of Dragons''.

**Ridley's pose in his official art is also almost similar to Yoshi's, but only mirrored.

**Along with Yoshi, [[Rathalos]] appears in Ridley's Classic Mode congratulations screen image, referencing the fact that both of them are winged dragons.

**Ridley, Yoshi, and Charizard (whom Ridley has the same running speed as) have also been fought as opponents in ''Wii U''{{'}}s Co-Op event [[Robots vs. Dragons]] for Mega Man & R.O.B.

*Ridley is the only character in ''Ultimate'' to not receive a significant eye color change after obtaining a Smash Ball or during a perfect shield animation due to his eyes already being yellow.

**{{SSBU|Meta Knight}}'s default eye color is also yellow, though his eyes do change into a crimson color in these circumstances.

*When zooming in behind Meta Ridley's wings, his right wing does not fully connect to his back.<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/HmR6YGf]</ref>

*Ridley's [[damage meter]] portrait protrudes downward the most out of every fighter.

*Of non-DLC characters introduced in ''Ultimate'', Ridley has the earliest non-''Smash'' debut.

*If Skewer's sweetspot hitbox is countered, it will actually one-hit KO Ridley.

*Strangely, Ridley has code for [[gliding]], despite the mechanic not returning from ''Brawl'', and Ridley himself not being playable or cloned from a playable character in ''Brawl''.
