User blog comment:TheFoolisherFoolishFool/More Ridley things that no one cares about./@comment-4151849-20140816192543/@comment-10733804-20140823213536

Game developers don't make lies like that. He may have lied by saying he wasn't playable but for him to say he is a boss and he is actually playable is just not something developers do. Sakurai doesn't have to keep confirming that Ridley is playable either. If he had to keep confirming that then he would still be saying what characters were revealed at E3 2013. If you want more arguments on why Ridley can't appear in SSB, watch Shokio's video.
