Ridley vs. Charizard is a What-If? Death Battle featuring Ridley from the Metroid series and Charizard from the Pokémon franchise. This page was created by GalacticAttorney but has been adopted by MadMaxPyro.


Description[]

Metroid vs. Pokémon! Nintendo's two massive, flying, fire-breathing dragon-like beasts take to the skies in battle! Can the Flame Pokémon overpower Geoform 187?

Intro[]

Death Battle Theme

Max: Dragons are always badass, fire-breathing, flying beasts

MadMaxPyro: And today we have Nintendo's two flying, transforming, fire-breathing beasts who are basically dragons but... technically aren't officially classified as dragons.

Max: Which I always say is bullshit! They look like dragons, have wings to fly like dragons, and breathe fire like dragons. They are fucking dragons.

MadMaxPyro: Fair enough.

Max: Ridley, the space pirate antagonist of the Metroid series.

MadMaxPyro: And Charizard, the Flame Pokemon.

Charizard Death Battle Intro Card

Max: I'm Max and he's MadMaxPyro who is also me because I'm really just one person. And because I feel like it I'm going to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a death battle!

Ridley[]

Vs. Ridley - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Music Extended

Ridley dragon

Max: Ridley is the purple dragon leader of the space pirates and arch-enemy of the bounty hunter Samus Aran.

Background- .Age: Unknown .Height:12 feet .Weight: 600 pounds .Occupation: Leader space pirate .Fast in air, but slow on ground. .Very Large .Breathes plasma and fire. . Alternate forms .Known as " The Cunning God Of Death". Dragon creature.

MadMaxPyro: Ridley and his crew invaded Samus's Earth colony K-2L when she was just a little girl. Ridley murdered Samus's parents right in front of her... and everyone else on the planet EXCEPT for Samus. Ridley would regret this mistake about 10 times over give or take.

Max: Indeed, when Samus grew up she became a suited bounty hunter who with her skills and various arsenal of weaponry would defeat Ridley every single time.

MadMaxPyro: But, he always survived somehow even when his body had exploded.

Max: Yes, Ridley is infamous for his ability to cheat death on multiple occasions. So much, that he is referred to as the " Cunning God Of Death" in the official artwork of Zero Mission.

DEATH CHEATS:

.His survival of the destruction of K2-L by consuming the bodies of the dead humans healing himself, according to the manga.

.His "resurrection" as Meta Ridley following his first defeat by Samus on Zebes.

.Having survived his fall on the Impact Crater by seemingly fusing with Phazon and later transformed into Omega Ridley after his defeat on Norion.

.In Super Metroid, he returns with a purely organic body with no traces of Phazon.

.He is unintentionally cloned by the Galactic Federation.

. An X Parasite mimics his DNA, transforming him into Neo-Ridley.


Ridley plasma breath








MadMaxPyro: And he never goes down without a good fight either! Ridley's trademark power is his plasma breath which he can breathe as a large stream or a barrage of large plasma fireballs. Plasma is usually 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the least. Hell, Ridley's plasma breath even uncharged can shatter mountains. While fighting hand-to-hand, Ridley primarily makes use of his lethal claws, talons, and tail dragging foes along surfaces or impaling them with his tail. And of course being a dragon-like creature he can of course fly at fast speeds with his wings.

Max: But his most fascinating aspect is his skin. Ridley is able to change the pigments of it and harden it for extra defense. This also allows him to camouflage with his surroundings. Also, his absurd regeneration is responsible for allowing him to cheat death time and time again. And despite being a bloodthirsty monster who enjoys the death of others and destruction, making him seemingly mindless, Ridley is actually an intelligent battle tactician winning many battles against other powerful monsters through clever strategy.

MadMaxPyro: Yeah, yeah this is all cool but let's move on to his alternate forms!

Max: Sure thing, after Samus defeats Ridley in the depths of Norfair, the Space Pirate camp on Zebes recovered his remains. Ridley was "resuscitated" and had to go through a painful metamorphosis to become the cyborg behemoth. After completion, some of the early Pirate tests showed a huge increase in mobility, strength, and offensive potential and capabilities. They also added cybernetic modules and armor plating. With this transformation he had become Meta Ridley!

Image-1457472657


Max: As Meta Ridley, with his new wings, he has the ability to fly through space unaided. He's also built with extremely resistant armor.

MadMaxPyro: But the best part is that he has a shitload of powerful weapons built into his body. Like his Kinetic breath weapon, a giant, red plasma laser beam shot from his mouth. The Meson bomb launcher drops bombs powerful enough to damage the landscape. With the UltraThermal Flamestrike Projector he creates a fiery shockwave by slamming the ground, and he has the Multi-missile system to well... shoot multiple missiles of course!

Max: Meta Ridley also has a final incarnation in which when reached he transforms into Proteus Ridley! 

Proteus Ridley










MadMaxPyro: Proteus Ridley comes with new powers/abilities as well. Proteus Ridley can spit a spread arc of five purple 4,000 degree fireballs at once at the opponent, a hyper claw slash attack in which his claws glow as he releases a powerful scratch, and a fireball shockwave causing a large shockwave of fire upon a spat fireball hitting the ground. Also basic tail whacks, slamming, and a claw swipe.

Max: But, when Ridley further infuses himself with Phazon he transforms into his most powerful form Omega Ridley!


Omega Ridley










Max: As Omega Ridley his strength and defense skyrocket to insane levels however he is relatively slower than Meta Ridley.

MadMaxPyro: And he's armed with a shitload more weapons. Omega Ridley can shoot an enhanced form of the Kinetic Breath Weapon which shoots a massive red plasma laser beam and fire at the same time along with an enhanced version of the Meson bomb launcher which can carpet-bomb an entire area. And an enhanced version of the UltraThermal flamestrike projector. He can also shoot countless small homing fireballs at once, large indestructible fireballs, blast phazon from his tail, a claw slash combined with a phazon blade, and even create an electric cage structure to trap foes via shockwave. Apologies that I can't find images of the new attacks and just have the same ones as Meta Ridley.

Max: But even when just in base form, Ridley is one tough son of a bitch.  Ridley is strong enough to easily toss around and carry Samus in one hand as well as easily restrain her. While this doesn't seem very impressive at first glance due to Ridley being a large monster compared to a human in a suit like Samus, keep in mind that Samus is capable of tossing around giant creatures easily. Ridley has damaged phazon-suited Samus and gravity-fusion suit Samus as well.  Ridley can also break through stone ceilings, rip his claws through metal that is durable enough to withstand molten lava, and he's strong enough to destroy starships. Hell, Ridley's plasma breath can destroy Samus's ship.

Ridley destroys starship







MadMaxPyro: Ridley has managed to outpace Samus's ship putting his flight speed at massively faster than light, can dodge missiles and lasers, and easily flies circles around regular spacecraft.

Ridley flying








Max: And as Ridley's death cheats list displayed, Ridley has got some extreme durability. Ridley has managed to , take hits from Samus her most powerful suits and takes many missiles, super missiles, charged shots, and power bombs. Ridley isn't even affected by the intense heat of lava as he can hide in it, survived having a Metroid feed on him many times, and Ridley even regenerated from a blast that took out the entire Space Pirate and human forces on the entire planet of K-2 L. All of these powers and death cheating may make Ridley seem like he's invincible but really he's not.


Ridley durability











MadMaxPyro: Yeah, even the " Cunning God Of Death" couldn't avoid death forever. In Super Metroid, Samus kills Ridley and Ridley finally legitimately dies, his body combusts and breaks apart, with every single individual piece disintegrating into ashes. Any other Ridley that showed up after that game's timeline were merely just clones.

Max: And while Ridley is extremely intelligent able to command an army and even build a robotic version of himself called "Robot Ridley" Ridley is also cocky and arrogant which can leave him vulnerable in battle. He can tend to underestimate his opponents and overestimate himself while his bloodlust can hinder his judgment. Plus, Ridley always loses to Samus and his actions are the reason she began fighting him in the first place. But overall Ridley is the space dragon who will usually always cheat death in what ever way possible and ensure everyone else's death.

MadMaxPyro: Except Samus's of course!

Charizard[]

Charizard Theme Extended

Charizard SSBU








'






Background- .Age: Varies. Height: 5 feet 7 inches Weight: 200 pounds .Occupation: Battle Pokemon .Fast in air, but slow on ground.  .Breathes fire.  Alternate forms .Known as "Fire lizard"



Max: Evolving from Charmander to Charmeleon to Charizard the flame pokemon. Being a pokemon, Charizards can be either male or female depending on the individual one. Though the large 87.5% majority of Charizards are male and only 12.5% of them are female. So let's just go with the Charizard in this particular battle as being male because I have already dealt with enough of the ambiguous gender stuff with the Pyro in the previous episode. Anyway, technically classified as a "fire lizard", Charizards are fierce warriors who live for battle.

MadMaxPyro: Well, more so than Pokémon already live for battle since that's usually all they do.

Max: Yeah, anyway so Charizards can of course fly with their wings and have a variety of attacks usually fire related. Charizard's signature attack is flamethrower in which he breathes fire as a large powerful stream. Charizard's fire breath is so powerful that it can melt boulders clocking it at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus, it's said to be able to melt 10,000 ton glaciers.



Charizard flamethrower









MadMaxPyro: Charizard's fire blast releases a large blast of fire in the shape of the Kanji Japanese symbol, this attack has a 30% chance of setting the opponent on fire but one thing is 100% sure, it does large damage. The sheer power of the attack is so strong that a blast of this fire from Red's Charizard was enough to knock out Blue's Blastoise despite the fact that Blastoise is a water type meaning he has strong resistance to fire.

Charizard fire blast









Max: Charizard's fire spin traps foes in a vortex of flames repeatedly burning them with no escape until it's over.

Charizard fire spin











MadMaxPyro: Charizard's Dragon Rage breathes essentially a large orb of fire energy that always does the same amount of damage of 40 HP as calculated in game terms regardless of what defense an opponent may have. How much does damage that translates to outside of game mechanics, I don't know. A moderate amount of damage I guess.



Charizard Dragon rage









Max: But Charizard's most powerful fire breath attack is definitely Overheat. With this move, Charizard breathes a fire laser beam that does huge damage.


Charizard overheat








MadMaxPyro: With Fire Fang, Charizard's teeth turn flaming biting foes with a fiery chomp attack which has a 10% chance of burning a foe and 10% of causing flinching.

Charizard fire fang







Max: But not all of his fire powers come from his mouth such as with the move Flare Blitz. With this attack, Charizard engulfs his whole body in flames flying through the air at a fast speed ramming into an opponent doing large damage to the foe and has a 10% chance of causing after burning. Though the downside is that Charizard himself takes 33% recoil damage as a result of the move. Well, yeah that makes sense. If I set my body on fire and smashed into someone, I don't think I would be unscathed afterwards.


Charizard flare blitz






MadMaxPyro: But Charizard has got way more than just fire attacks. He's also got quite a lot of more direct physical attacks. Like the move Slash, in which Charizard's claws extend and glow white scratching the opponent with his sharp claws. The move has a good chance of a critical hit as well. It's just like the move Scratch basically that a Charizard can use even as a puny Charmeleon.



Charizard slash
Charmeleon Scratch









Max: And Charizard's wings are good for more than just flight since via Wing Attack his wings also glow white striking the opponent much like his claws do when using Slash.

Charizard wing attack







MadMaxPyro: With the move Air slash, Charizard flaps its wings sending a wind blade at foes.

Charizard Air slash








Max: Charizard can spin an opponent around in the air and then throw them downwards at a fast speed via the move Seismic Toss.

Charizard seismic toss









MadMaxPyro: Charizard's Mega Kick ignites his foot with red energy kicking the opponent hard.

Charizard Mega Kick











Max: Charizard's Mega Punch is the same idea as instead Charizard's fist glows orange releasing a powerful punch onto the opponent. ... Yeah I know it doesn't look strong with the way this Blastoise just takes it like a champ without flinching or getting damaged at all but believe me generally it will hurt.

Charizard Mega Punch

 










MadMaxPyro: Charizard's Rock Smash attack involves him smashing his opponent with a rock he summons out of nowhere while he headbutts it so hard it shatters doing large damage on foes from the impact.

Charizard rock smash













MadMaxPyro: With Dragon Tail, Charizard's tail glows with blue energy whacking opponents with it. 



Charizard Dragon tail











MadMaxPyro: Lastly for base Charizard's moves he's got Dragon Breath, in which he breathes an energy beam that has a 30% chance of paralyzing an opponent.

Charizard Dragon Breath











Max: Charizard i'snt done there though as he can transform into alternate more powerful forms. Let's begin with the ones he gains via mega stones starting with his most promiment form Mega Charizard X! In this form Charizard turns blue with upgraded blue fire, gains the Tough Claws ability increasing the power of all physical attacks by 33%, and in this form Charizard is now officially classified as an actual DRAGON! Finally the writers came to their senses. Plus, Mega Charizard X also has a variety of new moves.



Mega Charizard X











MadMaxPyro: Mega Charizard X can breathe large streams of blue fire, which is twice as hot as orange fire. So considering the fact that base form Charizard's standard orange fire is 2,000 degrees farhenheit then this means that Mega Charizard X's blue fire is 4,000 degrees farhenheit!

Mega Charizard X blue fire breath










Max: Mega Charizard X has the attack Dragon Claw in which his claws grow with green energy slashing the opponent.

Mega Charizard X Dragon Claw










MadMaxPyro: Mega Charizard X's attack called Swift summons many homing stars that are practically impossible to dodge so a foe's best option is to try to block them.

Mega Charizard X Swift










Max: Mega Charizard X's Blast Burn causes the ground underneath an opponent to erupt inflicting huge damage but this powerful move will leave him exhausted for a bit afterwards at least indicated by in game in which it states he must recharge for a turn after using it, which I guess should translate to a brief period of time outside of turn based game mechanics. So basically he better hope that this attack finishes his opponent off or else he'll be left vulnerable.


Mega Charizard X Blast Burn







MadMaxPyro: Mega Charizard X even gains access to a new element other than fire via the move Thunder Punch! With this move Charizard's fist is infused with electricity as he punches a foe zapping them with electricity and has a 10% chance of paralyzing the victim.

Mega Charizard X Thunder Punch










Max: Then there's also his Mega Charizard Y form! In this form with the Drought ability his fire attacks get a power increase by a whopping 50% so just like with Mega Charizard X, since base Charizard's standard flames are 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit than the 50% increase of fire attacks in this form puts his fire now at 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit once again. 

Mega Charizard Y











MadMaxPyro: Which makes for pretty enhanced powerful flamethrower fire breath.

Mega Charizard Y breathes fire







Max: Orange flames that are now just as powerful as his blue flames, that's some serious firepower.


MadMaxPyro: Mega Charizard Y has Dragon Tail but more powerful glowing with green energy.


Mega Charizard Y green energy tail








Max: Mega Charizard Y has got Hyper Beam, a powerful dark purple laser that he breathes from his mouth.


Mega Charizard Y purple laser beam








MadMaxPyro: But Mega Charizard Y's most powerful attack is solar beam! This attack has the temperature of 6,739 degrees Fahrenheit! And this is major because unlike other Pokémon who have solar beam who have to charge it for awhile before use, Mega Charizard Y can release this move instantly!

Mega Charizard Y solar beam









(Credit to official death battle "Pokémon Battle Royale" for solar beam calculation picture.)


Max: Lastly, he's got his ultimate form GigantaMax Charizard! In this form powered up by Gigantamax energy, Charizard turns giant to a height of 91 feet tall! His body burns at 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit as directly said by the Pokémon Shield Pokedex, which also states that temperature rises even higher the more Charizard roars. So the fire he breathes is this hot as well. He's also got a variety of new attacks in this form.


Gigantamax Charizard













MadMaxPyro: "Max Airstream" fires a powerful stream of wind in the form of a spiral cyclone beam at the opponent. This move also raises his speed somehow.


GigantaMax-Charizard-Max-Airstream









Max: "Max Lightning" strikes the opponent with a massive lightning bolt summoned from the sky zapping them rapidly with electricity doing large damage. It even leaves the ground in its wake as electric terrain powering up Charizard's electric moves.


GigantaMax Charizard Max Lightning








MadMaxPyro: "Max Knuckle" summons a giant energy fist from the sky punching the opponent with a meteor-like explosion, this also raises the user's attack power.

Max Knuckle









Max: "Max Overgrowth" summons four large seeds near the opponent on the ground which grow into four large mushrooms surrounding the foe as the mushrooms then explode on the victim. This also creates grassy terrain boosting grass move power and Charizard gains some small health recovery.


Max Overgrowth







MadMaxPyro: "Max Phantasm" summons multiple giant ghostly objects which are then thrown as a pillar of energy at the foe. This also lowers the opponents defense stat.

Max Phantasm









Max: "Max Steelspike" summons large metal spikes from the ground to jab opponents. The user's defense stat is also raised.

Max Steelspike








MadMaxPyro: "Max Rockfall" summons a massive rockwall in front of Charizard which then falls down onto the opponent. This also causes a sandstorm to appear.

Max Rockfall









Max: "Max Quake" has Charizard burrow underground towards the foe as a large sand pillar then erupts from under the opponent. Using the move also raises Charizard's special defense, special defense being his defense against any non-physical attacks like elemental ones such as fire, electricity, ice, etc.

Max Quake







MadMaxPyro: "Max Strike" summons a large pillar of light underneath the opponent. This also lowers the victim's speed stat.

Max strike








Max: "Max Darkness" summons two long dark energy tentacles that lunge at the opponent which then explode in a ball of dark energy. This also lowers the opponent's special defense stat.

Max Darkness








MadMaxPyro: "Max Wyrmwind" summons a large cyclone of draconic energy around the opponent. This also lowers the opponent's attack stat.

Max Wyrmwind







Max: "Max Guard" summons a giant energy shield in front of Charizard blocking all damage. The shield must be broken for Charizard to take damage.

Max Guard







MadMaxPyro: Gigantamax Charizard's most powerful attack is G-Max Wildfire. With this move, Gigantamax Charizard's fiery wings glow red and yellow unleashing a giant bird shaped burst of flames. Even if the opponent blocks the attack the bird shaped flame will swoop around and strike them engulfing them in fire doing massive damage.


Gigantamax Charizard G Max Wildfire







Max: Even in just base form though, Charizard is a badass flaming beast. Charizard possesses quite the impressive strength able to shatter rocks by headbutting them, could lift a 188.5 pounds Blastoise, could lift a 661.4 pound Golem ableit with some trouble, destroyed several team rocket mechs, and can easily fly up with and throw down pokemon roughly his size like this Rhino.

Charizard strength











MadMaxPyro: Charizard is quite fast as well. Charizard has dodged attacks from Falkner's Pidgeot which can move at Mach 2 speeds, dodged attacks from Ash's Greninja which could move faster than eyesight, and can keep up with a Magnemite and Gyrados making Charizard hypersonic to relavistic. He's also fast enough to create after-images.


Charizard speed









Max: Charizard's got high durability as well since he can take some heavy hits. Charizard has tanked thunderbolts from Ash's Pikachu which are powerful enough to rip through stadiums, Dragon Rush from Iris's Dragonite, and even a Hydro Pump double water blast from Blue's Blastoise despite being you know, weak to water. Also hits from Articuno and Mewtwo. As for his special defenses, he's 2x resistant to Fire, Fairy, Fighting, and Steel Type attacks
4x resistant to Bug and Grass Type attacks and completely immune to Ground type attacks. Charizard can even remain in lava without any damage! 

Charizard durability








MadMaxPyro: Charizard has also shown some impressive feats in his Mega Charizard X form. Since his Mega Charizard Y and Gigantamax Charizard forms are either equal or more powerful, than these feats should suffice for all given he's lacking direct feats in those other forms.



Max: Yeah, so as Mega Charizard X he has the strength to heavily injure the legendary Pokémon Mewtwo with a Mega punch, overpower Ash's Greninja, and could even damage Primal Groudon.

Mega Charizard X strength











MadMaxPyro: As for speed; Mega Charizard X in flight can dodge Primal Groudon's solar beam, keep up with Ash's Greninja, and fast enough to rush attack Mewtwo before he can react making him massively hypersonic to relativistic.

Mega Charizard X speed










Max: In durability Mega Charizard X has walked off an attack that destroyed part of a mountain, took Mewtwo's Swift attack with no damage, and survived Mega Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent though he was knocked unconscious. As for special defenses he's 2x resistant to electric, steel, and bug Type attacks and 4x resistant to fire and grass type attacks.


Mega Charizard X durability









MadMaxPyro: Charizard is a tough flame dragon all around with a lot of versatility but he's got some weaknesses. Of course being a fire Pokémon, he's very weak to water attacks. 2x weak to water and electricity, and 4x weak to rock attacks. As Mega Charizard X he's 2x weak to rock, dragon, and ground attacks and as Mega Charizard Y he's just as weak to water, electricity, and rock attacks as base Charizard. Also Charizards in general don't have much direction in what to do without a trainer commanding them, a Charizard likes to seek out stronger opponents even when he stands no chance which can be the death of a Charizard, and if the flame on its tail is extinguished he also dies. Though, this is very hard to do considering this flame burns so hot that even when underwater it doesn't go out.





Max: Regardless of any weaknesses, Charizards are fierce ferocious warriors who will battle to the end!

Intermission[]

Max: Alright, the combatants are set! Let's end this debate once and for all.

MadMaxPyro: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ridley VS Charizard Death Battle intermission














Battle []

Brinstar Depths Super Smash Bros. Melee Music

A Pokémon town near a forest inhabited by human trainers and Pokémon is on fire in ruins as the people and Pokémon screamed in fear. The perpetrator is none other than the notorious ferocious purple space dragon Ridley. Some trainers commanded their Pokémon to retaliate against Ridley as three Dragonites summoned fiery meteors, seven Incineroars breathed fire, and four Turtonators shot fireballs. But before all of this fire could even reach Ridley, he countered with his plasma fireballs as it pushed against all the fire. Ridley felt some burning and flames on him but soon the intense heat of his plasma negated all of the Pokémon projectiles as all of the Pokémon were then disintegrated to ashes by Ridley's plasma. The human trainers in fear as a last resort threw their pokeballs to try to catch Ridley thinking he's a Pokémon but the pokeballs just bounced off his head doing nothing as Ridley smirked and then rushed at the human trainers brutally slaughtering them by slicing them all in half with his claws as their blood and guts dripped out on the ground. Ridley then started eating their corpses healing off them. Ridley roars in satisfaction but suddenly he notices a bunch of Pichus, Squirtles, and Charmanders 10 of each shaking in fear within a severely damaged opened up house cornered against a wall. Ridley made an evil smile.

Ridley: Hehe don't worry, you pitiful infants will soon be with the rest of your residents now... splattered as guts on the ground that is! GWHA!

Ridley walked forward slowly and menacingly towards the puny Pokémon to savor the moment. The poor Pokémon babies tried to defend themselves shooting their blasts of electricity, water, and fire but this was ineffective. Ridley wasn't slowed or damaged at all as the electricity felt like nothing but puny sparks, the water blasts felt like mere garden hose water, and the fire was nothing but little candle light to him. Ridley reached in front of them as they started crying in extreme fear while Ridley raised his claws up about to slash but then suddenly out of seemingly nowhere a random heroic Charizard flew into the scene blocking Ridley's claw attack just in time with his own claws saving his Pokémon brethren. Charizard melts the back house wall with his fire breath nodding to the puny Pokémon having given them an escape route as they understood and took the opportunity running away as they had escaped far away from the area surviving. Ridley in rage overpowered Charizard in the claw clash knocking him back as they were now outside on the grassy terrain with all the surrounding trees on fire.

Ridley: So you think can stop me puny dragon?! Very well, you look like you will be a much tastier snack anyway!

Ridley roars ready for battle as Charizard roars back.

Ridley VS Charizard battle render 2









Ridley breathed a plasma breath blast from his mouth while Charizard breathed a large stream of fire from his mouth via flamethrower. The plasma and fire clashed briefly but Ridley's plasma is way hotter as it quickly overpowered the fire easily engulfing Charizard in the plasma burning him a lot as he skidded across the grass a far distance. Ridley flew over as Charizard manages to shift his momentum and fly forwards as his claws glow white using Slash. Charizard scratches Ridley's body multiple times causing some some slight scratch marks with some bleeding but Ridley retaliated scratching back hard with just one of his large claws causing a large bleeding scratch mark on Charizard's chest as Ridley then grabbed Charizard by the neck and dragged him across the grassy ground. Ridley kept dragging him onto many flaming trees knocking them all down while doing damage to Charizard burning him and smashing him with tree debris until Charizard used flare blitz engulfing his body in flames smashing into Ridley releasing him from his grip and knocking Ridley far back into the sky suffering some burning and damage. Charizard fell to the ground on his back feeling the recoil damage while the mid-air Ridley above him used the opportunity flying towards Charizard and breathing some plasma fireballs down towards him. Charizard countered using fire blast breathing a blast of fire in the shape of a Kanji Japanese symbol. This caused an explosion as the attacks clashed creating smoke. Charizard flew out from the smoke breathing more fire blasts but Ridley easily dodged them with his faster flight swerving around the projectiles.

Charizard attempted an air slash as Ridley effortlessly avoided that too and then rushed at Charizard. Charizard activated Wing Attack with his wings glowing white spinning at Ridley while Ridley used Wing Blitz. The moves clashed as their bodies crashed into each other but Ridley's attack power and speed quickly overpowered Charizard ramming him headfirst, knocking him back. Ridley kept pushing Charizard through the sky with his bigger body until Charizard retaliated by using fire spin trapping Ridley in a circular vortex of flames repeatedly burning him. Charizard used this opportunity to use Overheat, breathing a powerful fire laser beam directly on Ridley hitting him giving large damage setting him ablaze. Charizard followed up by grabbing Ridley and throwing him downwards using Seismic Toss causing Ridley to crash onto the ground below creating a large crater upon impact. Charizard dived down towards Ridley while activating Dragon Tail, his tail glowing with blue energy as he was about to slam it down on Ridley's head. But Ridley stopped him in his tracks mid-air with his own tail skewer jabbing Charizard with the sharp end of his tail piercing through his skin impaling him through the stomach. Charizard roared in pain bleeding hard while attempting retaliation by using Dragon Rage charging up a fire orb in his mouth that he spit out but Ridley easily countered by breathing plasma fireballs destroying the fire orb and burning the impaled Charizard repeatedly with the hot plasma.

Charizard used fire fang biting Ridley on the neck with a fiery chomp but Ridley wouldn't make escape so easy for him as he started biting back on Charizard's neck. Ridley was pulling on it as the latter yelped as he was about to bite Charizard's head off but Charizard quickly used Mega Kick, his spiky foot glowing with red energy kicking and jabbing Ridley hard in the ribs repeatedly as he growled until he was kicked hard so hard that he was knocked back several feet and Charizard was released from Ridley's tail impalement. Albeit Charizard was bleeding with a hole in him as Ridley smirked with his tail covered in blood as he then used his camoflauge ability to blend in with his surroundings. Charizard became confused and roared furiously as he started breathing Dragon Breath around in circles hoping to hit Ridley but to no avail. Ridley sneaks up from behind Charizard and jumped on him with his large talons pinning him to the ground piercing his arms with his claws. Charizard retaliates with a Dragon Breath blast hitting Ridley point blank and successfully getting the paralysis effect on him stunning him. Charizard combos into a Mega Punch, punching Ridley in the face sending him hurtling and crashing into a boulder which cracked. Before Ridley could get up, Charizard followed up with a Rock Smash, headbutting a rock and smashing it directly on Ridley cracking it to pieces and blasting Ridley through the boulder as he was buried by debris. However, Ridley quickly breaks out roaring in anger. 

Ridley: Alright orange reptile, you have proven to be formidable but this is your end! 

Ridley starts injecting himself with phazon causing him to start transforming. His body starts becoming metallic with armored plating and yellow wings. He had transformed into Meta Ridley! Charizard though uses a mega stone evolving as he turns blue with blue flames in his mouth and tip of his tail. He had transformed into Mega Charizard X! 

VS Meta Ridley Super Smash Bros Brawl Music Extended HD

Meta Ridley VS Mega Charizard X









Meta Ridley: Orange or blue, your forms can't compare to mine!


Meta Ridley breathed a large red plasma laser beam while Mega Charizard X breathed a large stream of blue fire. Just as before with their base forms, Meta Ridley's projectile was superior as it quickly overwhelmed the latter's fire as Mega Charizard X got engulfed by the plasma laser beam getting burned severely and sent flying away. Meta Ridley followed up flying instantly at Mega Charizard X with blazing new speed dropping some meson bombs from above but Mega Charizard X reacted with some blue fire breath dispersing the bombs and then flew upwards to engage Meta Ridley. Meta Ridley readied his large metallic claws while Mega Charizard X answered this with Dragon claw, unleashing his green glowing claws. They engaged in a scratching battle for several seconds as Mega Charizard X got the upper hand scratching Meta Ridley across the chest and face multiple times chipping off some of his metal armor but Meta Ridley countered with hard metal horizontal claw scratches creating large bloody gashes across Mega Charizard X's body. Just as Meta Ridley was sealing the deal with a brutal vertical scratch down his chest, Mega Charizard retaliated with Thunder punch as he punched Meta Ridley with an electricity infused fist zapping him a lot and knocking him back a few feet away.

Meta Ridley growled in irritation as he activated his multi missile system shooting multiple missiles but Mega Charizard X used Swift shooting multiple stars that destroyed all of the missiles easily. The stars then flew towards Meta Ridley who dodged them with his fast flight as he zoomed at Mega Charizard X. Meta Ridley opened his mouth and gnawed down on Mega Charizard X's neck with a hard metal bite and was shaking him around sadistically but unbeknownst to Meta Ridley, the stars don't miss. The stars came back homing in on him as the rapid star projectiles directly struck Meta Ridley in the back sending him hurtling to the ground with Mega Charizard X. The two crashed violently onto the ground but quickly got back up and looked at each other. Mega Charizard X's body started being set ablaze rapidly with blue fire energy while Meta Ridley was activating some heat as well. Both were about to unleash one final attack for their forms.


Meta Ridley slammed the ground sending out a fiery shockwave while Mega Charizard X used Blast Burn. Mega Charizard X's attack was more powerful as it engufled the shockwave projectile while the ground underneath Meta Ridley erupted creating a huge explosion that covered the area in smoke and debris. When the smoke cleared, Meta Ridley was revealed to have suffered some major damage with much of his metal armor blasted off, his metallic body bursting with sparks, and dented wings. However, Mega Charizard X was left exhausted as he panted in place after having released that strong attack. Meta Ridley took advantage of this opportunity flying above Mega Charizard X and carpet bombing him with a large meson bomb that blasted him through the ground leaving a large hole in his wake. Meta Ridley screeched in what he thought was victory but then he noticed bright glowing come from the hole as he knew his smaller dragon opponent was transforming again. Meta Ridley growled in frustration as he further amplified his own form bringing him to the completed incarnation of Meta Ridley. Charizard had flew out of the hole in the ground as Mega Charizard Y while Meta Ridley had transformed into Proteus Ridley! The two set on the ground examining each other preparing for the 3rd phase of the battle.

Proteus Ridley VS Mega Charizard Y battle render










Proteus Ridley: You're a tougher creature than I thought you would be but while you keep switching colors my mechanization is complete and your demise comes soon!

Proteus Ridley flew up into the air as Mega Charizard Y just stood there looking up. Proteus Ridley spit five purple fireballs from his mouth at once downwards at his opponent. Mega Charizard Y breathed a large strong fire breath blast that actually destroyed the purple fireballs while the stream of fire hit and burned Proteus Ridley a lot setting him on fire. Proteus Ridley angrily brushed off the flames suffering burns as Mega Charizard Y flew upwards towards him. Mega Charizard Y's tail glowed green with energy activating dragon tail as he flipped towards Proteus Ridley whose claws glowed as he clashed the attack with a hyper claw slash. The force of their attacks clashing knocked each other back as they then clashed Dragon tail and hyper claw slash again a few more times both taking some damage. Proteus Ridley took some laser burns from the Dragon tail energy while Mega Charizard Y took some bleeding scratch marks from the hyper claw scracthes. This continued until Proteus Ridley overpowered him with a more charged up hyper claw slash scratching Mega Charizard Y downwards towards the ground below and then breathed a fireball down at him. The fireball burned Mega Charizard Y as he was engulfed by the resulting fireball shockwave on the ground leaving him vulnerable.

Proteus Ridley took the chance setting down on the ground comboing Mega Charizard Y with claw swipes and tail whacks while Mega Charizard Y started biting and scratching back to retaliate. However, Proteus Ridley won the sturggle finishing with a hard slamming attack that sent him upwards. Proteus Ridley flew up in pursuit breathing many volleys of purple and blue fireballs to try to overwhelm him but Mega Charizard Y breathed a hyper beam destroying the projectiles while Proteus Ridley dodged the beam. Mega Charizard Y kept turning while breathing the hyper beam trying to hit him but Proteus Ridley was too fast as he flew circles around him and then rammed his large body directly into Mega Charizard Y so hard that he sent him crashing into a boulder crumbling it to bits. Proteus Ridley laughed in supposed victory but suddenly a bunch of yellow light energy came from the debris as a hot solar beam was instantly unleashed from Mega Charizard Y's mouth as Proteus Ridley breathed some purple fire but it was destroyed once more as the solar beam directly him in the chest melting a lot of his metal parts giving large damage as he screamed and was bleeding as the sun energy burned. Proteus Ridley in a panicked rage further infused himself with phazon to become Omega Ridley! Omega Ridley flew towards the debris but before he could reach an enormous amount of fire energy surrounded the debris making him stop as Mega Charizard Y grew to giant size becoming Gigantamax Charizard! 

VS Omega Ridley Extended

Omega Ridley VS GigantaMax Charizard













Omega Ridley: ... Oh shit.

Omega Ridley looked up shocked by the newfound massive size of his opponent who used to be smaller than him but now towered over him by dozens of feet. Gigantamax Charizard lifted his right foot over him attempting to stomp on him but Omega Ridley flew out of the way and up into the air. Gigantamax Charizard started breathing a giant blast of fire breath as Omega Ridley kept swerving around it dodging it with his fast flight while breathing multiple large indestructible fireballs that passed right through Gigantamax Charizard's fire as the large fireballs directly hit his face as he growled taking damage and stumbled back a bit. Omega Ridley used the opportunity to get in close slashing Gigantamax Charizard with a phazon blade infused claw slash attack around the body causing laser like bleeding cuts while the latter was trying to swat him away like a fly but he was too fast. Gigantamax Charizard roared in anger raising his flames temperature and burning Omega Ridley with the surrounding hot flames. Gigantamax Charizard then used his giant tail to whack Omega Ridley upwards and then comboed with Max Knuckle summoning a giant energy fist from the sky punching Omega Ridley directly causing an explosion upon impact knocking him back spinning around in the air. 

Omega Ridley activated an enhanced version of the Ultraflamestrike projector sending a fiery shockwave while Gigantamax Charizard then took flight and used Max Lightning overpowering the former in a projectile clash striking Omega Ridley with a massive lightning bolt summoned from the sky zapping him repeatedly with electricity doing large damage sending him plummetting downwards breaking off some metal. Gigantamax Charizard then set up traps on the ground with Max Steelspike and Max Overgrowth creating large spikes and four giant soon to explode mushrooms. However, Omega Ridley regained his traction flying back up to not land on the spikes and flew around each mushroom explosion in succession narrowly dodging. Gigantamax Charizard flew towards him using Max Airstream breathing a powerful stream of wind to try to push him back into the traps. Omega Ridley flew right into the cyclone beam pushing against it taking some moderate damage but he then managed to completely fly through the cyclone beam ramming directly into Gigantamax Charizard.

Omega Ridley latched on as he starts clawing into him and jabbing his neck with his long spear tail as Gigantamax Charizard roared in pain quickly retaliating by snatching Omega Ridley in his mouth knawing on him while burning him with his now even hotter flames. Omega Ridley felt blackened burns as he screams and shot some phazon from his tail scorching Gigantamax Charizard making him flinch letting go. Omega Ridley got on the defensive flying around shooting some homing fireballs while Gigantamax Charizard used Max Phantasm sending out ghostly energy objects. The projectiles destroyed each other as Gigantamax Charizard used Max Rockfall for defense as a large rockwall grew from the ground in front of him as it started falling down onto Omega Ridley but Omega Ridley detonated it with a meson bomb before it could touch him. The resulting explosion's splash damage hit Gigantamax Charizard as the rock debris fell on him sending him stumbling backwards. But the side effect sandstorm prevented Omega Ridley from following up as the storm pushed him around giving Gigantamax Charizard the chance to combo with Max Quake burrowing underground underneath him as a large sand pillar appeared but Omega Ridley bombed it once more. 

Omega Ridley then created an electric cage structure trapping Gigantamax Charizard within it and followed up by carpet bombing him with meson bombs repeatedly causing many explosions. Gigantamax Charizard took the constant damage getting blackened as he then had enough roaring loudly raising his temperature even higher with his surrounding flames destroying the electric cage. Gigantamax Charizard then used Max Wyrmwind sending a dark tornado that sucked Omega Ridley into it as he was sent swirling around within it as Max Darkness was used with two dark energy tentacles coming towards him but Omega Ridley managed to slice them in half with his phazon blade. However,  for good measure Gigantamax Charizard finished the assault with Max Strike summoning a large beam of light under Omega Ridley. Consumed by the dark and light energy Omega Ridley screamed as he took some damage bleeding and several metal parts missing but when it all subsided he still wasn't finished. With a look of pure rage, Omega Ridley flew towards Gigantamax Charizard as the latter flew towards his opponent as well.

Omega Ridley breathed a massive red plasma laser beam while Gigantamax Charizard unleashed G Max Wildfire unleashing a giant bird shaped flame attack from his mouth. Their two ultimate attacks clashed pushing against each other in a final struggle. Trees melted, birds that tried to fly away were disintegrated, mountains collapsed, and the earth trembled. Gigantamax Charizard was winning as the giant bird flame was somewhat engulfing Omega Ridley as he yelped in pain getting burned severely. However, Omega Ridley ramped up his beam's power with phazon energy as he started pushing back against the bird flame winning the struggle as Gigantamax Charizard started losing being forced to seize his attack and block with his Max Guard energy. This put him right where Omega Ridley wanted him as he used all his power to amplify his red plasma laser beam combining it with fire screaming loud as it soon overwhelmed Gigantamax Charizard's shield as it broke and the beam directly hit him as he roared while consumed by the massive plasma energy until he was disintegrated out of existence. Omega Ridley set down on the ground badly burned, many metal parts missing, and bleeding screeching that he finally had won.

Omega Ridley: Nobody messes with the leader of the space pirates!

Results []

Vs. Ridley - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Music

Max: Charizard may have had a much larger more versatile arsenal of attacks and gained the quite substantial size advantage as Gigantamax Charizard but Ridley was ultimately far more powerful, faster, and more durable. Plus, usually had the size advantage too in most of their forms and is more intelligent. Even Ridley's standard attacks were much stronger than that of Charizard. Charizard's base form fire breath is 2,000 degrees farhenheit but Ridley's base form plasma breath is 11,000 degrees farhenheit! For a destructive potential comparison to show the gap in those temperatures, Charizard's fire can melt boulders but Ridley's plasma can destroy Samus's ship instantly detonating it.

MadMaxPyro: Even in his Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y forms when his fire amped up to 4,000 degrees farhenheit or his Y form's 6,739 degrees farhenheit solar beam still doesn't measure up to Ridley's plasma whether in base, Meta, Or Omega. Sure, in Gigantamax Charizard form with his 3,600 degrees farhenheit fire able to increase further with his roaring flames temperature increase ability he could potentially surpass Ridley's plasma temperature but this would take some time that he just wouldn't have given Ridley's advantages. Really, Charizard only had the projectiles edge when against Proteus Ridley who only had about 4,000 degree fire rather than his usual hot plasma so Mega Charizard Y in particular had an advantage with solar beam there.

Max: When it comes to physical strength and overall power it's pretty clear cut too. At their lower ends it may seem even with Charizard able to lift and throw a 200 pound Rhino pokemon while Ridley can lift and throw an about 200 pounds power suit Samus. At their best though while Charizard can lift a 661.4 pounds Golem, Ridley can tear apart and destroy starships which can weigh over 200,000 pounds as demonstrated by Space X. Plus, Ridley is strong enough to rip his claws through metal that is durable enough to withstand molten lava, a level of strength Charizard hasn't displayed. Plus, in general power Ridley has contended against Phazon suited Samus and gravity suit Samus putting him at high planetary power while Charizard at best has contended with Mewtwo and primal Groudon which are somewhat close to that power but not quite.


MadMaxPyro: As for speed, Charizard dodging Primal Groudon's solar beam in X form and keeping with Mewtwo makes him massively hypersonic to even relativistic but Ridley out-flying Samus' ship makes him massively faster than light which is far faster. And in Meta Ridley form he's even faster than usual.

Max: In durability, both Charizard and Ridley can literally take baths in lava unscathed but they don't call Ridley the cunning god of death for nothing. Sure, Charizard can take some mountain busting level attacks from the likes of Mega Rayquaza or Primal Groudon but Ridley regenerated from a blast that took out the entire Space Pirate and human forces on the entire planet of K-2L along with his many other death cheats. Plus, as aforementioned taking many hits from Samus even in her most powerful suits, taking many missiles, super missiles, charged shots, and power bombs before going down.

MadMaxPyro: Also just to really cover everything when comparing intelligence Ridley is clearly far superior as well. Ridley is a brilliant space pirate commander who has led the space pirates efficiently and is even intelligent enough to build a robotic version of himself. Charizard on the other hand, while he may be skilled in combat isn't all that intelligent having a one track mind being more effective when relying on a trainer for commands and a Charizard's proud warrior mentality leads to picking opponents stronger than them which can often lead to their demise... like it did in this battle. Sure, Ridley can be cocky but that doesn't matter when his confidence was correct in this matchup.

Max: Ridley's forms also proved to overall have more power. In their final forms, Charizard's ultimate form Gigantamax Charizard may have had the size advantage as said before with a much wider arsenal of many strong gigantamax attacks overwhelming the options Omega Ridley had but Omega Ridley was no slouch in power either having many weapons himself to keep up and his plasma beams and phazon hax ultimately were far too powerful for Gigantamax Charizard's fire or anything else he had.

MadMaxPyro: Charizard just couldn't handle the HEAT. He was dra-GONE.

Max: The winner is Ridley.
