You realize that this is just a picture made by someone to compare some sizes of characters in the game. It aren't even official renders. And you know that Ridley only was very big in Metroid Other M, and he looks very very scaled down when we saw that shadow of him in the Direct. And also in some earlier games, and Melee Ridley was about the same size as Samus. Bowser has been resized many times too, look at him in Sunshine or 64 compared to Smash. Some goes for Olimar and Kirby in Smash, they are much smaller in their games. And in every Metroid game there basically is a new Ridley, because after Ridley gets killed by Samus, it is reborn and looks different each time. So to be logical he would have been reborn for Smash once again after his defeat in Metroid Other M.
