Talk:Meta Ridley

Scratch that, a Pirate Data discounts that theory completely. 68.111.149.77 21:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Text Size
I noticed that the size text used for 'Biography for Meta-Ridley' is quite large. I am fairly new to wikis, so is the the correct size? Phazon Phantom 17:36, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Name Meaning
"Meta" does not mean "changed". It means "across, between, after". In modern parlance, the Greek word "Meta" is often employed to mean "different, displaced", as in "Metaphysics" (which originally was coined to mean "after physics").

Basically, "Meta Ridley" has no etymological Greek meaning. It just sounds cool. As such, I'm removing that part. Gaiacarra 17:25, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Ice Beam?
The Brawl trophy mentions that Ice attacks are good against him. Now, the trophies have certainly not always been accurate ("uses his three red eyes to paralyze foes"?), but is there any truth to this one? I've tried the Ice Beam against him, but due to its speed I have a lot of trouble actually hitting him. I normally just use Plasma. Is there any weakness to ice anyone else has discovered--Spreader, perhaps? Or does he take increased damage from Freezies and the Ice Climbers? Or is that a totally random innacurate statement?
