RIDLEY HITS THE BIG TIME |

—Ridley’s newcomer tagline when he was revealed to be |
Ridley is the face of a thousand flame wars. He is sometimes appropriately called The Cunning God of Flame War.
Not to be confused with Ridleying or Ridley Scott (who Ridley is named after).
He's also .
Character[]
Ridley was one of the most requested newcomers since he was shown in the Melee intro, with discussion of him flooding the pre-releases of both Brawl and Smash 4. He was the center of controversy during those days due to his size, with many arguing he was supposedly "too large and in charge" or “big” as some people put it. However, his supporters had their fair share of good arguments. During the Smash 4 pre-release, his status was debated after first being teased in the April Direct.
The Reveal[]
In the Super Smash Bros for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza, Ridley was finally revealed to be a stage boss, but was overshadowed because of Mewtwo. However, he acted a lot like a playable character without actually being one. Seriously, he had the movements, the icon, is KO'd the same way, had ledge grabs, had a collection of child porn on his computer. Honestly, no one was sure what to make of it.
But what people were sure of, it's that Ridley was not playable. But perhaps, he would get his chance another day.
NO, YOU’LL GET IT TODAY! (and by today we mean like four years later)[]
On June 12, 2018 the unthinkable happened PICHU FINALLY MADE HIS GRAND RETURN Ridley was revealed to be in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, at the end of Nintendo's E3 Direct, at that.
The reaction across the internet was one of surprise and happiness. (Or rage if you were one of his detractors.) Although, there were some who thought that he was “””too small””” but most of those people are just Ridley detractors who are angry that they were finally proven wrong. (Probably a bunch of Fire Emblem fans.). Though to be fair it does look like they scaled him down a little TOO much.
This Board[]
At this point, Ridley IS GameFAQs. Everything has to do with Ridley. People can no longer look at the word without seeing it as their vocabulary or watch any of Ridley Scott's movies without thinking it was directed by an oversized space Pterodactyl. Ridley has evolved beyond his mortal form, and he is now a god of the board, along with Palutena and Sal Romano. Ridley is this board, and this board is Ridley.
energyman2289 bet his account that Ridley would be a playable character in Smash 4, and seemed rather confident (he lost the bet and closed his account. Should have waited till the next game.). See the topic here.
Now, here is Ridley clapping at the chaos he has caused. We now leave you with this message from BurnedPotatoes.

Trivia[]
- "Using a Mii Fighter, anyone can join the battle."
- He has a Twitter. You can follow him here.
- He was leaked by Bill Trinen.
- He is a boss and is THE boss.
- He loves flame wars.
- He wishes to have a game starring himself.
- Of course Ridley wouldn't be both a stage boss and a playable character at the same time. That's moronic. It's not like Duck Hunt is both a stage platform and a playable character at the same time. Wait, that's a non-comparison because a stage boss is far more involved than a platform. Why would I say something so stupid.
- Ridley is the definition of style
- He's a big guy
- FOR YOU
- But sadly, he doesn't have a mask that you ask him if taking it off would kill him. But Meta Knight has one, ask him.
- A 14 year old kid made him playable in Project M.... but he uses his Other M design, so it's trash.
- RIDLEY IS .
- AzureHero refers playable Ridely as "Fake Ridely" because playable Ridely is like a Fake Kraid from Super Metroid in that he is “””too small”””.
- Ridley ing murdered Mario and Mega Man.
- Ridley is OfficialPotato's husband. They're very ing gay for each other.
