OK, I have had it. A lot of people I run into on here say Ridley will not be playable for the stupidest reasons that have been long since proved wrong. I'm here to permanently put the doubts to rest. Reason 1: Ridley is too big: One of the most irrelevant reasons for a character not being able to be in the SSB series. Olimar is only an inch tall, and he's almost as tall as Mario in SSB; Bowser is 3x Mario's size in Sunshine, yet he's only a little taller than Redcap in SSB. Ridley may have been twice as big as Samus in Brawl, but in the Melee opening, he was only slightly taller; same goes for the original Metroid. Reason 2: He's the stage boss for the Pyrosphere: Sakurai HAS NOT CONFIRMED THIS. He has only teased us with a shadow WHICH WE COULD NOT SEE CLEARLY. If Ridley was the stage boss, he could be just as easily substituted for something else. Reason 3: Sakurai already disconfirmed him: We all know Sakurai loves to troll us; plus even in the interview in which he answers to the possibility Sakurai explicitly states: "Well, maybe, but he might be a little slow; would that be all right?" Well, everyone, I think it stands to reason that we don't know what Sakurai plans to do, but don't take a mere tease for hardcore fact. Ridley still has plenty of grounds for an entry, whether you want him in or not.
