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.

I found the while-in-air-tail-stabs to be easier to predict, because he flies immediately over you after shooting one fireball. Then it's minimum four, maximum six stabs, all with the same timing between them. And of course you can get hit during a sense dodge if you jump right into the attack of an enemy, that's not exclusive to the Ridley fight.

Overblast takes off about a quarter of Ridley's life bar. That's how good it is.

Just beat him.
