As a side note, Ridley on Hard Mode is BS.  I may be quiting there.

He's really hard to beat, yes. Up until him all bosses are beaten within a few tries at most and then comes Ridley with his one hit kills and annoying temporary invincibility.

You just have to expect the tail swinging on the ground to happen at all times, since he doesn't have a set order for his attacks. When he becomes invincible you have to wait for him to ascend into the air and shoot two giant fireballs (sometimes it's just one followed by tail attacks). After jumping over the flames of the second fireball, immediately go into first person mode and charge a super missile (which removes his invincibility). Ridley will land and be an easy target.

You only have to go through this process two times, if you don't mess up the situations in which Ridley is open for a sense attack (or whatever the name of running up to the enemy while holding down 1 is). Once you know what to do at which times, Ridley is going down surprisingly quick.

I know what to do and have been very close to beating him, the problem is just those damn one hit kills.  Especially, the one where he flies on in the air and tries to repeatedly stab you with his tail.  I swear it has hit me while in the middle of a sense dodge several times now.

I actually didn't realize that you could do an overblast on him while he was on the ground.  I just watched a video of it.
