Space Pirate Rush

Space Pirate Rush (グラビングスクラッチ) is the side special move of Ridley in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

The attack is a form of Grab. Ridley will grab his opponent and drag them forcibly across the ground before throwing them. He can perform this move in the air to bring an opponent to the ground and drag them across it as normal, or directly past the blast zone (the edge of the screen beyond which a KO occurs). The attack can be cancelled by Ridley if he jumps out of the throwing animation, and the opponent can mash their buttons out of the drag to end it. This is easier for the opponent depending on their percentage compared to Ridley's. Otherwise, the move ends when Ridley and his opponent reach the ledge, or the blast line in a walk-off stage (such as Wii Fit Studio).

Ever since Super Metroid, Ridley has been depicting grabbing Samus as an attack. It wasn't until "The Destiny of Ridley and Samus", a cutscene during Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, that Ridley was seen dragging Samus across a wall. Proteus Ridley and Ridley's clone in Metroid: Other M also drags Samus across a wall, both during the battle and in the cutscene prior, and Proteus Ridley in Metroid: Samus Returns throws Samus against a wall in between the second and third phases of his battle.
