While you do make a good argument I would have to disagree with you. Lucina is not going to be an exact clone of Marth. Marth in Brawl and in the upcoming games dealt the most damage at the tip of his sword, while Lucina is going to be even damage regardless of where the Falchion hits. Also one of the people who was relaying information stated at the Super Smash Brothers Roundtable back during E3 week relayed that the roster was pretty much finalized during early development. This would lead to plenty of time to fix any bugs or glitches. Heck even from the point of putting out the trailer confirming Robin, Lucina, and Captain Falcon there was still 2 months before the games would launch in Japan. Also judging by one of Sakurais' comments on his miiverse they the newcomer videos well in advance which further debunks the idea that Chrom got pulled due to issues at "last minute".
