Firstly, Sony seemed to be focussing on characters in recently released, or upcoming games. DMC Dante from DMC, Heihachi from Tekken Tag 2/Street Fighter X Tekken, and Big Daddy promoting Bioshock Infinite. I would guess that developers had a say in who to include (I believe Superbot said Capcom wanted DMC Dante as opposed to Dante Classic), and perhaps Konami thought Raiden would help build up hype for Rising.
Plus there also might be a legal issue in regards to Smash Bros. Nintendo might have had something in a contract about that, or it might just be a matter of respect. Kojima requested for Snake to be in Smash Bros, largely to please his son who was a big fan of the game. I think Nintendo and Sakurai might be a little peeved if Snake wound up in PSASBR
