Palutena vs Ridley

When playing Palutena against Ridley, capitalize on her Nair to create an infinite combo, especially if Ridley is at low to mid percentages. Use her superior aerial mobility to outmaneuver Ridley, avoiding his powerful attacks like the Forward Smash and his tail, which can space you out effectively. Keep the fight in the air where Palutena excels, and utilize her Reflector to counter Ridley's projectiles, giving you openings for punishes. Maintain a safe distance and pressure Ridley with aerials to exploit his slower response time while carefully avoiding his aggressive options.
