So, I wanted to share this: a Ridley support page on Facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ridley-for-Super-Smash-Bros-4/734096326629920

The page is looking for any and all people who can articulate how and why Ridley cand/should be playable in Super Smash Bros., for the people who continuously can't see how that can be. Really, I've seen more then enough convincing evidence to how he can be playable, but so many people can't even get past the "he's too big" argument, and not even in an ironic or joking sense. Some more reasonable folks further clarify that he's simply took awkward, and while I can also disagree with that, it helps to have a go-to place to talk about it and explain the fine details, hence this topic.

So while I don't want to start an argument, I kind of feel that I have to in order to come up with plausible reasonings and explanations for how Ridley can work in Super Smash Bros. So... try to keep things classy here, guys.
 
I have yet to see a legitamtie reason against Ridley. The too big argument has been done to death and has been easily disproven in the past.

And don't give me that "he would look out of place" nonsense. We've had Solid Snake, who's more out of place than anyone lose.

H. Queen being in Mario Kart 7 is an example that can disprove BOTH arguments easily.
 
Ridley should be a familiar/assist you can summon. Although that also would make no sense, because Samus would not be summoning Ridley.

IDEA: Make a space pirate a playable character, and he can summon Ridley.

Mario can summon Hammer Bro., Lakitu, Waluigi.
Fox can summon Andross.

There's no reason why it couldn't work.

And anyone can summon Tingle.
 
Shut up, YoshiMonsta. We didn't actually see him, to be fair.
 
1. It could be Meta Ridley.
2. Remember when the Spirit Tracks stage was confirmed? Remember when Toon Link was thought to be deconfirmed?
