    The scary part is that we cant account for how much Ridley himself is pushing down into the asphalt, because it's one thing to let your body "fall" onto someone but it's another thing to also use your muscles to really mince them into nothingness, and also Ridley's slouched so he would also be taller therefore adding even more weight

      Except that there’s no way of knowing how large Ridley is. Olimar is canonical about an inch tall, which clearly isn’t true in smash. When playing with smash, you play with smash psychics, meaning this move performed twice only hurts as much and jigglypuff falling asleep on you.

    Ridley was the character i wanted most in the game. Hearing he could impale using his tail was enough and then i saw his side B and my brain went "Damn, Theyre dead." Makes me love the guy more to be honest. Id love to hear how fast Ridley can fly, We know he can fly in space which would have way less forces acting on him, we know he can fly faster than F-Zero and Samus`s ship. How fast can he truly go? Near speed of sound in an atmosphere then he be tearing through space or foreign atmospheres.

      @@angelmendez-rivera351 2 weeks too late to the party, but I still have a few balloons to give out anyway.
      So, technically no... it wouldn't break the law of conservation of energy: because that law ONLY states that energy cannot be create or destroyed, only altered from one form to another... says NOTHING about a person.
      The Human body (and other living organisms, in general) constantly exchange energy and matter with surroundings. For such open systems, law of conservation of energy is not applicable, meaning congratulations... Ridley can apply all the force he needs to grind his target into oblivion.

    • @angelmendez-rivera351
      @angelmendez-rivera351 5 років тому +3

      Condemned Crimson I find it REALLY cute that you, a random Internet stranger, are trying to educate me, a trained physicist with several degrees, on how the law of conservation of energy works.
      This video posits that Ridley grinds their opponents to death such that their bodies desintegrate into particulate matter disjointed at the atomic level. This is consistent with both conservation of matter and energy. However, the comment of grinding them out of existence implies grinding the matter itself out of existence. This is what I claimed is impossible. It is impossible precisely because it is equivalent to violating energy conservation. This is because while you can convert atoms into non-atoms, those non-atoms are still matter. Even if you break the nucleus of the atom apart into flying protons and neutrons, you still have matter. Protons and neutrons are, by definition, matter. More specifically, baryonic matter, of the hadronic type. Neutrons may decay into protons, but these protons and neutrons can never be grinded "out of existence," because that is violation of conservation of matter. You cannot turn fermions into bosons, and even more, you cannot simply destroy fermions and turn them into literal nonexistence. It does not work like this. This is simply impossible by the laws of quantum physics.
      Anyhow, what this does mean is that grinding *anything* out of existence is simply impossible, because such a command is even stronger than simply grinding it into particulate matter. And a person being dead is not quite the same as not existing, and if it were, then saying that grinding a person into particulate matter is not already synonymous to grinding them out of existence is stupid. Either way, that makes me correct in both scenarios.

    Ridley's immense speed actually makes sense due to his ability to fly into space which would mean he could be capable of reaching ESCAPE VELOCITY, roughly 25200 Miles per hour or Mach 33. And this isn't taking into account Ridley's OTHER ridiculous abilities. He is capable of surviving in the vacuum of space for extended periods, his skin is durable enough to withstand numerous hits from high-explosive missiles and directed energy weapons, he has the ability to project streams of high-intensity plasma from his mouth, his regenerative capabilities are incredible, and he's an extremely intelligent tactician and naval commander. His title, Cunning god of Death, is well earned.

    There's a slight mistake here in this calculation, MatPat. I can't guarantee you'll see it, but Ridley actually is crouching during his "standing" animation. To get an accurate estimation of his full height, one of his taunts actually shows him standing up straight. I'd recalculate this myself for you but frankly I'm tired and lazy. As far as calculations go with what you've used, it's solid, however it's likely much more damaging.

    To be fair, in Metroid we're seen Ridley physically traverse from planet to planet with nothing but his own two wings on several occasions, hell he even does it in smash during his final smash. He's even seen outspeeding Samus' gunship on several occasions (albeit he usually has a headstart which means he's at least keeping pace with the ship). So the breakneck speeds that we see him moving at here are to be expected. In fact it's probably on the lower end of the speed feats he's got under his belt.

      Well most characters in the game have survived far worse so it wouldn’t have that much of an effect

    1) As a Ridley main, this brings me much joy.
    2) You definitely under-shot his height since he's hunched over most of the time. His down taunt makes him stand up straight and he's noticeably taller.
    3) Ff

      As a rule for hypothetical math undershooting is usually better and has less hyperbole than overshooting it, and worst case scenario, add to the numbers. So all in all, most characters aren't upwards of 7ft in smash, and with full height and weight it only gets worse presumably.

      The fact that may pat used a alligator which is a land animal and would not need hallowed bones. The height probably canceled out

      @DeadlockDrago 5 років тому +3

      Yeah, measurements used seemed to be absolute minumum possible. Even then it's still exceptionally brutal. Adding more height or mass to that, it would be even worse. Good thing Samus has that suit to minimize the damage.
