Ridley as a character makes even less sense than normal due to the fact that he's a stage hazard in the same game. That's not to say I don't think Metroid needs another rep, I do, because Metroid is heavily ignored by Nintendo as a whole and it's depressing because it's such a great franchise, but Ridley isn't the way to go.
Dark Samus would have a completely separate moveset because almost none of her abilities relate to Samus. It wouldn't be a Dark Pit/Regular Pit situation at all unless they were lazy about it.
Several of the Bounty Hunters in Prime 3 could be used, like Rundas, who appears to be a favorite of them. There's plenty of characters there that could work.
Ridley is an absurd choice. You can claim the whole "he was small in the NES game!" crap, and I could go on and on about the limitations of the console and all the other typical arguments used, but the fact that he's been a boss battle throughout at least two Smash games (I forget if he's in Melee), and then he's also in Smash 4 already, as a boss hazard, makes his theoretical appearance ridiculous.
Hell, I'd take SA-X before Ridley.
