“I definitely know that Ridley’s a much-anticipated name for fans, but if we made Ridley as a fighter, it wouldn’t be Ridley any longer,” Sakurai told IGN in an email interview. “It’d have to be shrunk down, or its wings reduced in size, or be unable to fly around freely.”

“Providing accurate portrayals of characters is something I want to pay ample attention to,” he continued. “If I don’t stick to that thought, then we’d have to lower the quality or break the balance of the game. Something that goes way off spec could break the entire game.”

Yeah... basically as long as Sakurai is director of Smash. Ridley probably isn't going to be a playable

He also once said Miis and the Villager wouldn't happen because it would look weird for them to be fighting. He's gone back on his word before.

"Which is why Bowser sounds like a Godzilla ripoff, donkey kong and diddy sound like real apes, and dedede sounds like a goddamn hellspawn. *laughs*"

and captain falcon totally falcon punched in the f-zero games

and fox definitely caught himself on fire in the star fox games

and peach really attacked with her ass in the mario games

and i dont even remember the last time luigi didnt shoot himself like a missile

i mean, i TOTALLY get why he wouldn't make him playable: it would sorta demean that threatening, boss attitude he has. making all of those wrongs and putting this wrong in doesn't make it a right.

but that totally begs the question: why not just fix all of those damn wrongs if that's his reasoning?

And just to clarify, I really appreciate everything Sakurai's done, but he should've just left it at "he's too big" and it would've been the end. There was no need to bring up "balance of the game" or the "accurate portrayals" aspect, it just seems ridiculous.
