Wow. Nice. Hopefully Bayonetta and Wonder Red will be joining those screenshots. Heck, let's throw in some Xenoblade guys.
Yoshi will be making his debut soon...

Drawing out of thin air isn't really an issue at all. They typically have somewhere to start with, but it's not impossible. And besides, there are many better reasons to not add him, like his Japan-only status or his poor sales, maybe?
Japan only status? Mother 3 says hello. Poor sales and Japan only status? Definitely the reason.
I'd have to agree with you. I did some research on Mother 3 and Captain Rainbow. Captain Rainbow did about 20000 in sales whereas Mother 3 did almost 400k. Its nowhere near Mario or pokemon levels, but it did well. Games that Mother 3 sold better than? Zelda Minish Cap, Castlevania circle of the moon, nearly every Fire Emblem game until awakening, Metroid Fusion, Mario Party Advance, all of the GBA phoenix wright games, Mega Man Battle Network, FFV Advance, and quite a few others. It was the top selling GBA game of that year, so year, it would make sense for Lucas to have a chance at being on the roster, even if the game was japanese only. It also had good reviews. It would make no sense for a japanese only character, from a game that didnt sell well, and got only decent reviews to be on the roster.
Sakurai knows what he's doing. I'm confident he'll give us a great roster of characters. He's not going to give us any random weird characters unless he's absolutely sure they'd work. I for one am looking forward to all the obscure games being referenced though.
Formally called brewsky before becoming the lovable, adorable Yoshi.
Now playing:
Final Fantasy XIV (PC) | The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Switch) | Celeste (Switch)
Well, shoot. I can't believe I forgot all those...
I guess Mother was just what I wanted to see next (even though it's not likely to be shown next), and that was on the top of my head at the time.
Im thinking if both Lucas and Ness make it in, one will be announced before, and one will be an unlockable. Most of the big veterans have already been revealed. Now we just wait.

Japan only status? Mother 3 says hello.
And Fire Emblem was also Japan only before Melee. This is the ultimate proof than they can use this series (Smash) to share Japan only series on an international way, then make game for it worldwide if fans love it!
Captain Rainbow is the alter-ego of some guy named Nick. Perhaps it can work like Zelda and Sheik, or maybe Captain Rainbow can be the final smash, like Wario-Man being the alter ego of Wario?
Captain Rainbow is still apart of Nintendo's history, so he's got a chance to make it in somewhere.
I made Sheldon & Mr. Randoms back on Flipnote Hatena, now i'm a kangaroo mod that has a funko pop collection!
I'm not keen politics since that stuff is spooky, I'd rather watch SpongeBob over Fox News anyways!
Since Kid Icarus: Uprising was released, I've always thought that Palutena's Temple should be one of the selectable music choices for a Kid Icarus stage.
"Zelda's Din's Fire is now stronger in its core. The farther it's projected, the bigger and more powerful it will be, but you need to hit foes with the core if you want to make them fall."
As a person who mains Zelda, this makes me happy. It looks so cool.
