It's not just a matter of how much each franchise is represented, but it's also about what makes sense for each franchise.

Take Metroid for instance.  Sure it's a pretty big franchise, but it is not a franchise with a lot of characters.  The franchise (at least the good entries) is about isolation and slow solitary exploration.  Next to no dialogue and very indirect storytelling.  So, the franchise may be a big one, but representation doesn't make sense.

Fire Emblem on the other hand has tons of memorable characters with well defined traits and personalities.  There are far more possible representatives from this franchise, so I'm fine with more reps from that game.  My only complaint would be the focus on Fire Emblem Awakening.  I'd have rather had them take Robin from awakening and have added Erika from sacred stones or something. 

And lol at Ice Climbers being iconic.

Of course! The Fire Emblem Characters seem to a have similar moveset though, so i dont really see the point in 4 characters.

I personally thing zelda should have much more characters like midna or ghirahim, because they could give them unique movesets.

Ice Climbers arent really well known, but they became part of smash bros. for me! I'd be surprised if they arent back!
