This may be a stretch but, barring any size reductions, couldn't Ridley's SSB4 form just be a new body? Like "Mini-Ridley" or "Kid Ridley", but the character would still be called Ridley.
I mean adding smash-exclusive elements to a character isn't something new. Sheik, for example, uses a "Twilight Princess" style despite not being in the game, so they used concept art. Essentially, Sheik's design in Brawl is smash-exclusive, in a sense.
King Dedede also had his hammer "mechanized" for Brawl, which can be seen in his moveset.
And, as Tellis pointed out, there are inaccuracies with certain characters anyway. Ness' final smash doesn't make sense, Falco's final smash should have been an arwing. Olimar & Kirby are bigger than normal.
And I don't think I even have to go into "Giga Bowser"...
If a character is wanted, and if the developers have the resources, the character WILL be in, whether there are inaccuracies or not.
