Hell yea Ridley will be playable

Sure most people's arguments against him are that he's too big and that Sakurai already Confirmed him as a stage hazard but in my opinion these are dead arguments as I have reasons that disprove these arguments and I'll just sum them up

Other characters have been resized (Olimar, whose resizing is HUGE, Bowser, Ganondorf, Lucario, etc) and there is no reason as to why this can't be done for Ridley

Sakurai never explicitly states that Ridley is a stage boss, only stating that other boss characters appear on other stages, not just this one while Pikachu is shown and then Ridley's shadow moves into view. Sakurai NEVER STATES that Ridley is a boss, yet he always states if a character is or is not a playable character (Takamaru, Skull Kid, Yellow Devil) thus disproving his Confirmed Boss Status

Hell, why would people be agaisnt playing as a huge space dragon?
