Guys, I know Sakurai may be a troll sometimes, but just because he is doesn't mean he'll lie every time. And at the same time he can't protect every promises according to every fan's request. There is no possibility for Ridley as Sakurai officially decided to make him a boss character, and that means he's an NPC stage hazard character for the rest of the freakin' life, and calling him a "character" doesn't mean he's 100% playable in any case. Because seriously, if he's a "character", then Yellow Devil should've became playable in the first place since he's a "character", including all Assist Trophies and Pokemons if you dare to claim. Really, its not gonna happen no matter what, or if anyone's gonna send a black mail to Sakurai and force him to make it in other words...
