Such a long discussion about which roster is more recognizable even though the answer is simple: Smash Bros has a more recognizable roster simply because the characters were featured in more popular games. There have been, what - 50 million Pokemon games sold this generation? And roughly 50 million mainline Mario games. Go out there and ask a person if they know Super Mario or Pokemon they'll all say yes (unless they lived under a really, really huge rock for the last 20 years. A rock the size of the moon).
I think having some universally appealing characters in a game like PSABR or Smash is enough to make people say the roster is great. It's a matter of perception.
