Doesn't need to, the scarab's control room is enclosed, meaning he doesn't need to simply shoot around corners, he can simply fill up the whole room with plasma fire, and if anyone is hiding under the stairs, he does have quite a long neck.
The most Ridley would do if he attempted a move like that is make the stairway to the control room of the Scarab very heated.

Ridley could also fly to the opening and just roll some bombs down the entrance. I think the explosion from that would be enough to take out the entire inside of the scarab.
Samus would first fire a charged wave shot at the John, he would side step, only to find that it has homing properties. His shields would flare, then he would roll to the side. Samus switches the power beam, giving the masterchief a chance to pin down her with shreder rounds from his assult rifle. She takes a small amount of damage before dashing sideways and releasing a storm of power beam blasts into Johns armored chest. With his sheilding down his health is reduced to practily nothing in a matter of secondes.

Even if Ridley had managed to give off such a sustained assault like that, the plasma heat wouldn't last very long.The most Ridley would do if he attempted a move like that is make the stairway to the control room of the Scarab very heated.
He's been able to roll bombs? Which game was that?
Well doesn't that just counter every one of Hit and Miss's arguments about Plasma burning as hot as the surface temprature of the Sun?
Oh and think Flame Thrower, those flames roll, and then spread out once ot hits something solid, plus it's sustained, like a Dragons Breath.
On an off shoot, lets look at the advantages and disadvantages of both. Samus has more health, and can last longer, as John is quite vulnerable with his shields down. Most likly a charge shot from the wave beam could take out the shield. The master chief has to reload, but it takes Samus a split second to change her guns. I think that John would win in a battle of physical strength considering his enhanced body and suit. Each of them are battlefield vetrens and would find eachothers weaknesses quickly. I think that the supermissle combos would alow Samus to take the battle if she had enough missils.

Otherwise plasma burns would be about five times more serious.
I am going along the lines of Plasma is plasma, if they are now considered to be in the same universe, the affects of the plasma would be the same. The only difference is how it's delivered, and in what quantities. and other than a Scarabs main gun, or a large vessels cannons, i'd say Ridley can expell far more plasma from his mouth than any Covenant weapon.
