Ridley (Galactic Battle)

Ridley (リドリー, Ridley) is a veteran in Super Smash Bros. Galactic Battle. He retains his moveset from Ultimate and is a starting fighter for the first time in the series.
Ridley has no voice actor, and uses roars and screeches for most of his "voice clips". Much like his appearance in Ultimate, Ridley can switch between both his regular and Meta-Ridley designs.
==Moveset==
*Ridley can perform two mid-air jumps.
 	Name 	Description
Neutral attack 	N/A 	A double claw swipe followed by a bite. Alternatively, if the attack button is pressed quickly for each hit, the second hit transitions into a rapid-fire tail stab that ends with a swing.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	Grabs his tail and thrusts it forward. Can be angled, and the tip of Ridley's tail acts as a sweetspot.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	Swipes one wing in an arc above himself, starting from behind.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	A low tail swipe.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	A leaning bite.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	Rears back then generate a fiery explosion from his mouth in front of himself.
Up Smash 	N/A 	A frontflip kick, covering Ridley's entire overhead.
Down Smash 	N/A 	Leaps and slams his open wings onto the ground.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	Backflips and swings his tail around himself, similar to Charizard's neutral aerial except backward instead of forwards.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	Stabs with his tail forward three times in quick succession.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	A roundhouse kick behind himself, similar to his archnemesis Samus's back aerial.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	Thrusts both wings upward while closed.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	Plummets down stomping with both feet.
Grab 	N/A 	Reaches out with his right hand.
Pummel 	N/A 	Thrusts his tail into the opponent.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	Tosses the opponent forward with one arm.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Turns around and performs an underhanded toss with one arm.
Up Throw 	N/A 	Sets the opponent overhead and stabs them with his tail.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Slams the opponent onto the ground.
Neutral Special	Plasma Breath 	Spits a fireball from his mouth forward, which bounces along the ground. It can be charged to have Ridley spit up to a maximum of five fireballs, which also increase in size and damage.
Side Special 	Space Pirate Rush	Rushes forward to grab an opponent, functioning as a command grab. If successful, Ridley slams them onto the ground and drags them forward along it, dealing continuous damage, then throws them either upon reaching an edge or if the special move button is held. The move deals more damage the more distance the opponent is dragged along the ground.
Up Special 	Wing Blitz 	Charges up then perform a flying tackle in any of four possible directions: straight up by default; forward and slightly down; backward and slightly up; and down and slightly forward. The move travels a long distance, does not lose power while traveling and is noticeably powerful.
Down Special 	Skewer 	Brings his tail back as it glows briefly, then stabs forward with it. If hit near the tip of the tail, it deals extremely high damage and causes opponents to crumple, akin to a fully charged Focus Attack.
Final Smash 	Plasma Scream 	Lets out a roar and dashes forward. Upon hitting an opponent, a cinematic sequence begins with Ridley headbutting them onto Samus's gunship; as the gunship flies off, he shoots it down with a laser that engulfs both the ship and the target in an explosion. After the cutscene ends, the opponent is meteor smashed and the gunship can be seen crashing in the background of the stage. This Final Smash is an instant KO on opponents at 100% damage or higher before the cutscene ends.

Taunt 1 	Roars and strikes a menacing pose, flapping his wings rapidly.
Taunt 2 	Spins in a circle, finishing in a celebrating pose.
Taunt 3 	Straightens up his body as if noticing something, before easing up while slightly smiling. His body lets out a noticeable crackle as he stands upright.

==Fighter Spirits==
Ridley's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Ridley in The Galactic Battle allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Galactic Battle.
