It's been stated plenty of times that Sakurai's team wanted a new gen rep, but X/Y weren't out yet, so they had to rely on concept art and choose whoever they deemed best fit for Smash Bros. Only a retard would think that a Badass Ninja Frog
or Hawlucha wouldn't be the best choices for Smash, though.
