Did you join this wiki just so you could say that? (honest question) Ridley still has chances for being playable, despite his leak as a possible stage hazard, because: 1. He IS the main antagonist of the Metroid series. 2. He could easily be swapped out for Meta-Ridley, or some other counterpart. 3. Other M's Ridley (the one we saw in the Direct) wasn't the original Ridley, but a clone (and a bad one at that; too birdlike, if you ask me). 4. He has appeared in almost every Metroid game since the beginning, making him the second most recurring character, next to Samus. 5. In the original Metroid, he was only a little bit taller than Samus, as well as in Melee's opening. Your arguments, if you have any, are invalid.
