That's probably because they were the ones with most potential to add newcomers.I noticed, Fire Emblem and Kid Icarus are the only franchises not introduced in the original Smash Bros to have multiple characters.
Unless I missed something...
Melee and Brawl both only added three franchises, unless you count third-parties in which case you could say Brawl added five. Its hard to pick characters from Pikmin who play differently from any other, Ice Climber... not much to go with, Mr. Game and Watch and ROB both represent hardware rather than software, etc. Wario has potential for a newcomer, but the franchise is kinda miniscule at best. And third-parties are unlikely to ever get more than one playable rep, period.
This game added some potential franchises which could have more characters. Mainly just Xenoblade and Animal Crossing, though, and Animal Crossing is questionable because most of the characters, again, don't do anything notable and would be more likely as Villager clones than to have original movesets. If Golden Sun were to be added that franchise would have massive potential for future character additions, as well.
Krystal fans, I'll admit, I thought some of you were grasping at straws at first by talking about the Krystal trophy. Then I realized that Krystal's Brawl trophy is based on Command. Its definitely plausible she could be considered, but I think she's more likely as DLC. I think Wolf is back for sure, as well. I'll keep my eyes open for her. I wouldn't mind Krystal, there's just several characters I want far more (and believe would get in over her).
Granted, another possibility for the Assault trophy is, naturally, Namco. I'd think she'd be called "Krystal (Assault)" if she was playable, but it doesn't outright deconfirm her, she's still in the running. We'll have to wait and see.
