This is probably how the conversation between Nintendo and Capcom went for MegaMan in SSB:
Nintendo: "Hey Capcom! How about we use MegaMan in our next SSB game?"
Capcom: "I've never heard of a MegaMan, but if you're asking us... I guess it's okay....?"
Nintendo: "...Thanks..."
Capcom: "Lol, and take Monster Hunter while you're at it!"
So yes, you're over-thinking this.
