Counter Tips

don't even try this match up. ridley can swoop you up and defeat you in midair.

Unplug your opponets controller might give you a better chance

Why would you do this to yourself?!

dodging is key. Ridley will always try and grab you so bait it out and punish with speed and power.

Hey, listen! Your counter isn't going to be much here, Ridley in most cases will want to grab you, your speed is key here! Stay close but be ready to back up, jabs from behind help! Stay golden Champ!

Best option is to jump around for a bit then punish the skewer

Your first issue is playing little mac, I know you want to be a contrarian and go against the grain but you're just making yourself look like a clown, play a mid tier if you're really committed!

not even *** can save you from this

grab when the ridley uses side b to grab break and then use your speed to punish it.

Ridley will just die what are you thinking it wont be fun for them and you will loose your second best friend (second cuz they play ridley)

As a Ridley main, do not let him grab you anywhere near the ledge and avoid his side b. If he gets you off stage, it's pretty much doom even by Mac's standards. Keep fighting the good fight lads.

oh *** i'm so sorry. This is easily the worst matchup in the game. All you can do is just play defensive like your life depends on it. It only delays your inevitable demise

Not even praying to Sakurai himself will help you.

For the love of *** avoid his fireballs

Just give up, it's not like it's impossible to get back into elite smash.

Fight grabs with grabs it will work down throw then up smash or up throw than up air will be the best option

This is a match-up you must be attentive to. If you go off-stage you'll die 90% of the time. Anti-air up-fsmash and upsmash will help. Ridleys weight is low, so if you get a hit you will kill early.
