Byleth vs Ridley

When playing Byleth against Ridley, focus on maintaining control of the stage and using your range to your advantage. Utilize your neutral special, Faerun, to zone Ridley and keep him at bay, especially when he attempts to approach with his aerials. Be cautious of Ridley's down special, which can lead to punishing juggles if you're caught offstage; however, if you recover low, you can avoid his neutral special gimp attempts. Capitalize on your up special to escape from disadvantage and look for opportunities to juggle Ridley with your up air, as he can struggle to land against your vertical pressure.
