You do realise that DLC is still a possibility for Mewtwo and Ridley? And Ivysaur and Squirtle were barely used, hence one of the reasons they chose Charizard to represent. And I'm not surprised at all that Ice Climbers were out; they said the 3DS had limitations for how many things could be on screen at once, and they weren't that popular anyway. I do wish that Wolf wasn't cut though. What "tradiction" as you say, did Sakurai even break? The new Star Fox character every game? If that's the case, then no, it wasn't a tradition. Having 4 characters from a rather minor series isn't a good idea.
