I think Simon made it in because he's ultimately the most iconic character. Alucard may be a bit more popular, but Simon has more prestige and historic significance to him. Pac-man isn't in there because he's everyone's favorite character, he's there because EVERYONE knows him, and it really doesn't get much more historically significant that him, at least not for playable characters. Or how about Duck Hunt? Again, definitely not everyone's favorite character, but people know the game, and that dog is iconic. Alucard is in my opinion a bit cooler, and looks, again my opinion, like he'd be more fun to play in Smash, but he just isn't in the same tier of iconic historicness as Simon.
