Ridley is a recurring antagonist in the Metroid series.

Bio[edit | edit source]

The creature known as Ridley is a military commander of the nefarious Space Pirates. He left a lasting impression on Samus Aran by killing (and potentially eating) her parents and the rest of her home colony back on planet KL-2, and has been her eternal nemesis ever since. It doesn't help that he, a mechanical version of him, or a cloned version of him still keep showing up, no matter of how many times Samus seemingly kills him. Her PTSD probably doesn't come from her not having a dad, but from Ridley still not being dead.

Aside from being impossibly hard to kill, Ridley is chiefly known for his enormous size. So, enormous, in fact, that Masahiro Sakurai reportedly refused to add him to Super Smash Bros because he was "too big". That Ridley was added to the rooster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate anyway caused a great deal of merriment across assorted Anons.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Ridley debuted as early as 8chanmania V, but all records beyond him fighting there have been lost.

He reappeared in 8chanmania XLV, where he promptly was deemed an alien and therefore shot by the EDF Ranger.

His last contribution was during 8chanmania C, in which Ridley took part in the Battle of the Big Guys. Despite of his best efforts, he was the third fighter to leave the ring, following Bane and André the Giant.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Ridley was likely named after Ridley Scott - the director of the first Alien movie that partially inspired Metroid.
