Maybe they just don't want to go through creating content for all those characters that no one gives a sh*t about. Maybe they don't feel that having to go through putting Pichu into the story mode is worth all the trouble. Target mini-game, character trophy's, graphical upgrades, and whatever other character specific content they end up dropping into this one.
I mean, who hasn't been officially confirmed yet?
Cpt. Falcon
Jigglypuff
Ness
Pichu
Young Link
Ganondorf
Mewtwo
Mr. Game & Watch
Falco
Dr. Mario
Luigi
Roy
Marth
Did I miss anyone?
7 of those are clones. Young Link, Pichu, Falco, either Roy or Marth and Dr. Mario don't need to be in the game! Cpt. Falcon and Luigi are pretty much 100% sure to be in. Ness gets replaced by Lucas...big deal, as far as we know, they're pretty much the same damn character. Why do we NEED so many exact clones? We don't. The only sad losses would be Mr. Game & Watch, Jigglypuff and Mewtwo. Even though Mewtwo isn't a completely original character, a lot of his moves work differently from those characters he steals them from, and he isn't an exact clone of anyone. And all signs point to Mr. Game & Watch being in again anyways.
Other more worthy clones like Gannondorf need to be given their own move variations, and characters like Luigi who work as a half-clone need to be given their own completely original move-sets.
