Character name: Ridley.
Real name: possibly Ridley.
Abilities: flight at high speed, can survive in space, regenerates by eating dead corpses, can shoot fireballs.
Bio:
Ridley (Ridori) is a high-ranking Space Pirate, the archenemy of Samus Aran, and one of the most common recurring 
characters in the Metroid series. Ridley's appearance is considered similar to a skeletal dragon 
with glowing eyes. Ridley is known for being very defiant and persistent; though Samus has defeated him many times, 
he always manages to return and do battle with her, either through his healing abilities or robotic enhancements. 
Ridley is the main antagonist of the series, despite not typically acting as such in the individual games he appears in.
Despite his fearsome and bestial appearance, Ridley is known to be highly intelligent and is even be capable of speaking; 
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.
Ridley is extremely adept at survival. Ridley is apparently capable of healing his wounds by eating human flesh. 

Here it is, first non-boss Ridley ever released, made with template i found somewhere (it was something like MMV or CvG, don`t remember, but it had announcer that was a bit annoying).
Character version - 2.0
Combo - 20 hit combo can be performed by mashing basic buttons at high rate, but aerial attacks will break it, 3.5
Moveset - No Shouryukens, every attack fits character...except for Super Armor, Shadow Clones, Counter and Frenzy, but there is a lot of attacks, 4
Animations - Most of them are pretty smooth, 3.7
Sprites - 5, but due to colorloss...its 4.8
Defense - Has nearly no anti-air attacks, but has useful standing guard push, 2
Attacks - Each move has medium range and his tail is long ranged...and is invincible, 4
AI - Well...he defeated Demitri, The Batman, Lucario, Blaziken and Varia31`s Samus...I guess its "Strong"...At least i can consider it "Medium". Ironically, only Endoedgar`s Samus defeated him, but only once and she isn`t standart character.
So, its either 4 or 3.7 out of 5.

VS Samus intro - Slowly lands on the stage, remembering Samus of course, and then roars.

B - Same as light kick, but Ridley rotates 180 degrees around.
C - Piercing strike with tail.
X - Claw swipe.
Y - Uppercut.
Z - Uppercut...but reversed.
Crouching attacks:
A - Same as standing one.
B - Piercing tail strike, can hit only standing targets.
C - Slams his tail against ground, can be used as anti-air attack.
X - Same as standing one.
Y - Bite.
Z - Makes two steps forward while swinging his arms twice. 2nd hit knocks down.

C - Tail scrape attack from SSBB, unguardable.
X - Same as standing A, but lover.
Y - Bite.
Z - Double claw swipe and bite.
Specials:
D, B, Kick - Ground Scrape - rushes forward at high speed. If collides with opponent, will turn around and scrape ground with target`s face before throwing him/her away.
D, F, Punch - Fireball - Shoots one, two or five fireballs, depends on the button pressed. Fireballs are invincible. Can be done in air too.
D, B, Punch - Rush attack - Rushes forward, tripping opponents in air and knocking down standing opponents. If medium punch is used - rushes at higher speed, if strong punch - uses strong aerial kick variation. Can be used in air.
2 Punch buttons - Counter - counters attack if hit during this attack
B,F, Kick - Flame burst - Quickly shoots short stream of fire to knock down opponent. If medium punch is used, he will shoot it at opponent`s feet, if strong kick - he will shoot it in the sky. Deals nearly same damage if guarded because...fire still burns you. Can be used in air.
Throws:
C throw - bites opponent in face multiple times before slaming him/her agains ground twice and throwing away.
Z throw - Slams opponent agains ground twice before throwing away.
Hypers:
D,F,D,F, 2 kick buttons (requires 2 power bars) - Ultimate Ground Scrape - Same as regular one, but deals more damage, moves faster and instead of throwing opponent, he shoots stream of fire at them.
D,B,D,B, 2 kick buttons (requires 3 power bars) - Super Armor - guess what he gets.
D,F,D,F, 2 punch buttons (requires 1 power bar) - Frenzy - 30 fast basic ground attacks. Will bind to opponent if one connects, final hit is guard breaker.
D,B,D,B, 2 punch buttons (requires 1 power bar) - Fireball Frenzy - shoots multiple fireballs at high rate.
D,F,D,F, A and X buttons (requires 2 power bars) - Flamethrower - shoots stream of fire. Deals nearly same damage if guarded because...fire still burns you.
D,B,D,B, A and X buttons (requires 3 power bars) - Shadow Clones - summons 2 clones made out of shadow bugs.
D,B,D,B, B and Y buttons (requires 3 power bars) - Mega Flare - Charges up fire in his mouth while hovering above target before firing giant fireball.
D,F,D,F, B and Y buttons (requires 3 power bars) - Backup - Summons 2 Space Pirate troops. After coming close to Ridley, they will shoot laser beam from their arms/cannons 5 times. Since this is laser, it travels at high speed and can`t be guarded. You can only dodge it.
D,F,D,F, C and Z buttons (requires 3 power bars) - For now, it remains untitled - Grabs opponent, then jumps and flies up until he is...in space or whatever, before reentering atmosphere and smashing opponent`s face into ground. Unless its Ridley, target will take damage while leaving atmosphere/during re-entry.
D,B,D,B, C and Z buttons (requires 5 power bars that you can get only after 1st round if you have less that half of lifebar) - Thoat slices - Grabs opponent, then stabs his neck, killing him (by killing, i mean killing). Can be dodged because hyper has small range.
Other:
(While guarding) 2 punch buttons - Guard Push - Can be used to gain distance. Standing guard push damages opponent and has long range.

Trivia:
-Can "run" in-air.
-Has 5 airjumps, unlike MvC characters.
-Has different victory quotes, possibly not all of them are in-character (if you don`t know him - he tried to kill a child by incinerating with fire breath, an old man by suffocating him and actually tried to use life energy-draining galactic threat against Galactic Federation), including victory quotes for Samus, Deadpool, The Joker, Lobo, Superman, Hulk, Mother Brain, Bowser, Spiderman, Ironman, Thor, Ridley and Batman. 
-Can`t be thrown or hit by projectiles while under the effect of Super Armor.
-12 "Pallete" Ridley has different, better super armor and his life and power is regenerating over time. This pallete will get a lot more unique stuff (including being a bit different character) after 1st release.
-If fighting versus Samus by endoedgar, Ridley gains super armor for the rest of match.
-Ridley will use different win animation if you have full lifebar, if both lifebar and powerbar is full, if you have less than 700 HP or if you have less than 500 HP. In all of them Ridley is actually talking. If Y is held down, he will pierce opponent, while laughing. If Z is held down - he will sit down and begin to devour opponent. If opponent is non-endoedgar Samus/Varia31`s Samus, he will use different win animation on the 2nd round and different devouring animation if Z is held.
-If Ridley X pallete is used, he will have different voice and roars.

Tactics that can be used when playing as him:
Missing for now, tell me which can be used if you found any.

To be done:
-Special sequences for Samus by Varia31, like charging up plasma beam before he will shoot stream of fire during Ultimate Ground Scrape.
-Intro and Ending.

Notes:
-This is "Super Metroid" Ridley, his fireballs is invincible. Ridley X has same fireballs.
-If you know who made template or can make better description of moveset - tell me.
-Tail LACKS blue CLNS boxes in ALL animations, in ALL frames, because it would be out-of-character to add them, like adding Shouryuken to Biollante from Godzilla movies...just imagine that XD
-Its NOT TOO BIG and can be resized for SSB4...And it looks big enough compared to Samus by Varia31.
-Anyone complaining about size of Ridley (anyone saying TOO BIG will be shot at point-blank range with rocket launcher) will be shot in head.
-If possible - post your Ridley testing on youtube or (even better) post/sent as personal message to me your arcade/survival run on MugenGuild.
-Contact me at MugenGuild if you want to post it somewhere.
-No commercial gain can be done from this character unless you got rights from Elecbyte, Capcom, Nintendo and me, if you bought him - you were fooled.
-., -         ,    -  .
-I still has problems with my English, at least its better now.
-That is all...

Other:
-Use Geothermal Power Plant stage included in "stage" folder if you want and add "ridley" mp3 file to stage folder. If you want to use different music, add, for example "ridley1", to the same folder and rename it to "ridley".
