First he killed Mega Man and Mario, then Sonic with that one glitch and now this. Ridley is slowly murdering the whole cast.Thanks for featuring my video BTW :)

[galacticpotato]

I like how Ridley just casually kick flips Mario while going at 680mph

[smugtini]

Wow it never crossed my mind that the character who Impales you with his tail, blows up spaceships and is literally called the cunning god of death is the most dangerous fighter.

The scary part is that we cant account for how much Ridley himself is pushing down into the asphalt, because it's one thing to let your body "fall" onto someone but it's another thing to also use your muscles to really mince them into nothingness, and also Ridley's slouched so he would also be taller therefore adding even more weight

[shivertooth]

The scary part is that Ridley was SLOUCHING. Ridley's down taunt makes him stand up even _taller._ Including how the weight was the _lightest possible weight_ of the American Alligator, this just makes this *a lot scarier.*

My friend: where's my character gone?

Me, playing as Ridley: gone, reduced to atoms.

[theworldwrecker]

Luigi: Hey Ridley, where's Mario?
Ridley: *Gone, reduced to atoms*

[dono]

Petition for Nintendo to make Ridley do 999% damage when he does this attack at April fools

[kevinr.]

To anyone complaining about Ridley being taller than MatPat stated:
In this case it really doesn't matter. It just makes him even heavier, and thus, more destructive.

[JosepiTheth]

He actually got Ridley's height wrong. His down taunt shows that he's EVEN TALLER than what was calculated in the video. Which, really only makes this move even more deadly.

[deathwick]

Nintendo: *releases a game with a rating of E for everyone*
Matpat: THIS IS THE DEADLIEST GAME OF ALL NINTENDO'S HISTORY

[Maskalto]

Side B of Ridley is very scary. Not just when it grabs you, but the fact that it can drag you right into the blastzone in a few seconds

[bamama]

i like how every villan has a motivation to be a villan, but Ridley? no... he just wants to see everything around him *p e r i s h*

[nieveangeletti]

you missed an important detail. Ridley is hunched over in smash. his down taunt has him stand up straight. he's WAY taller than 25%

[-plaguedoctor]

Mario: Hey where's the roster?
Ridley: Ummm see the road lines?
Mario: Yea?
Ridley: That's them. That's the roster.

[Beast_Marrow]

Ridley was the character i wanted most in the game. Hearing he could impale using his tail was enough and then i saw his side B and my brain went "Damn, Theyre dead." Makes me love the guy more to be honest. Id love to hear how fast Ridley can fly, We know he can fly in space which would have way less forces acting on him, we know he can fly faster than F-Zero and Samus`s ship. How fast can he truly go? Near speed of sound in an atmosphere then he be tearing through space or foreign atmospheres.

I feel like matthew played a match against someone with ridley and lost, and now wants to prove that he actually won

[avianflu]

Do you realize that Ridley’s down taunt shows him fully standing up so the numbers are even higher

[grandma_joe_]

Matpat: " They may be thicc but not that thicc"

King K Rool: you underestimate my power

[pinkiebelle]

I absolutely love when an entertainer makes themselves laugh. The calculator bit was fantastic.
