Pretty sure Mewtwo had Teleport in the earlier games anyway. Same deal with Skull Bash.
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyIt seems to be just because of the animation itself. He splits into two characters just like the move. Just take a look.
◊ Seems like a silly reason, but eh.
Well, one week later, I finally watched the Direct. And I didn't make it through the first half because I had to stop the moment Ridley's shadow appeared at the 7-minute mark.
Congratulations all, we can't use that joke about Ridley's size anymore... at least, not unless For turns out to have a slew of technical problems.

It's hard to say it's a spoiler when it's not even confirmed what his role is. Various hints at that, but that's it.
And we already know being part of a stage doesn't bar you from being playable. Plus, there's more than one literal Ridley to exist. Just like there's more than one version of Toon Link(WW/PH and ST are even two different people). So it's not hard to believe that even if he did become a stage hazard, he could become a separate playable character too. Doesn't mean it'll happen. He might not even be a stage hazard. But yeah, we'll just have to wait and see.
Shadow?I'll give you that we could be dealing with another Alfonso situation here, otherwise, unless he's pulling Lying Creator about the whole Ridley thing, there's not really any reason he'd show the clip of him while talking about hazards only to reveal that he's not a hazard.

The New Age of Awesome is here! Not even the sky is the limit!He's a Trolling Creator. He wouldn't actually be lying either. Ridley is a boss in the Metroid series, and can show up on the Pyrosphere as well... while being playable.
It's easy for guys like him to twist the semantics just to get away with something you wouldn't expect. Also, he did outright say "Anything in this direct may change before release"(paraphrased). So unless he confirms him outright as a stage hazard(and keeps it that way without him being playable by the time of release), there's just no way to tell. He's made it clear before that not everything shown on Miiverse is permanent either. We'll find out any changes upon release, respectively.
Shadow?
