Porky has a much lower chance of being in than Lucas. Porky has only ever fought in the series in a mech. All the Ridley fans will be in uproar saying, "If Ridley is supposedly too big, why is this guy in the game?". Something Sakurai probably thinks (I think he thinks this. If not... then that would be foolish...) is, "If this guy is playable, where is the appeal behind the character?". For example the Punch-Out! series is surprising not that big in Japan so if Little Mac is in the game there has to be a lot of appeal behind his moveset (powerful ground attacks, super fast, that combo meter thingy.) so if Porky makes it in, Sakurai will have to ask himself, "What do I give a giant pig spider robot to make everyone see how cool it is to play as a robot even though R.O.B. is a way cooler character?" ... That's a pretty hard question if you ask me.
