While Midna may have been too recent to be put in the game, both Midna and Krystal are very popular characters. I don't think any injustice has been done in that they weren't included but to be honest we were all expecting a huge roster, but most of us have accepted without problem the current one.
The only people who were anticipating Wolf being in the game are the same people who were expecting GENO from Super Mario RPG and Ridley from Metroid being in as well. Wolf only ever surfaced as an anticipated choice in all the outlandish fantasy rosters litering the web.
In all fairness, had Olimar never made the cut and had people as a result complained he wasn't included, Nazna would probably try and tell us we didn't know what Smash really was to expect someone like him in the first place and he could never work for the game. Only now after he's confirmed can you say with any confidence that a character like him made sense.
The Bottom line is, we don't know whether or not a character could be in Smash until it happens, there is no sound measure of prediction, part of Smash's appeal is the seeming random (to us) methodology used to pick characters appropriate for the games. While some predictions are just crazy, most predictions for characters make just as much sense as any character that is included.
