Plasma Breath

Plasma Breath is Ridley's Neutral Special. Ridley charges up plasma in his mouth and then releases multiple orbs of plasma that bounce across the ground. Using the move without charging it will release only a single plasma orb.

While charging the move, if an enemy attack hits Ridley's mouth, the move will be interrupted and Ridley will take critical damage.

Origin
The Plasma Breath is an attack used by Ridley throughout the Metroid series in his many boss fight encounters.
