Ridley is a major antagonist from Metroid, who is the leader of the Space Pirates. Ridley also made an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as one of the boss characters, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as a stage hazard, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character.
Ridley is seen as the high-ranking Space Pirate and arch enemy of the series protagonist Samus Aran, appearing in practically every Metroid game. Ridley killed Samus' parents when she was still a child, hence Samus' long-held hatred towards him. Despite the amount of times Ridley has been defeated by Samus, he always seems to return—even after Ridley was supposedly annihilated when Planet Zebes was destroyed. Despite his fearsome and bestial appearance, Ridley is known to be highly intelligent and is shown to even be capable of speaking in the manga; with his intelligence, he was also evidently capable of building a synthetic construct made in his own image. He is known to have a bloodthirsty personality and takes great personal enjoyment in destruction.
In M.U.G.E.N, Ridley has been made several times, with versions by Endoedgar, Sapphire Flame, and BaganSmashBros.
Taking direct inspiration from Ridley's appearance in Super Metroid, Endoedgar's take on the leader of the Space Pirates doesn't seem very overwhelming at first as it has only one actual attack, but when dragging along a tail that has its own physics and hitboxes, what else could this space pterosaur possibly need? With flight and armor, coupled with supportive projectile cover, you'll be sure to be in for one hell of a boss fight.
This Ridley was made by BaganSmashBros and based on his clone. Most of his attacks are activated by pressing Ⓐ or Ⓑ and , with the exception of his 3-hit combo, Dark Samus' phazon beam, kamikaze Metroid and fire breath. His +Ⓑ makes him immune to projectile damage. He disappears when grabbed/thrown (except for his own throw).

BaganSmashBros' second version
This Ridley is a 6-buttoned character with gameplay similar to Marvel vs. Capcom characters. His A.I. is brutal. His moveset includes 6 specials, 10 hypers, guard push and basic attacks. If his enemy/one of his enemies is Samus/SA-X/Fusion Suit Samus, he will gain super armor and will slowly gain red tint and die in explosions, like in the 2D Metroid games.

BaganSmashBros' third version
This newer version of BSB Ridley is a 6-button character with gameplay similar to Infinite's characters, but with a few differences like "Rage Meter" and guard push. His moveset includes 4 Specials, 6 Hypers, guard push and a OHKO attack known as an "EX-Hyper", which requires a full Rage Meter to use. His A.I. is very hard to beat, making it much tougher than the original BSB Ridley.
BSB Ridley's 12th palette (known as Chaos mode) makes use of different attacks to that of his other palettes, becoming more of a boss character.
