ike's games are some of the worst selling in the entire FE series, and yet he still managed to get into Brawl. Sales aren't a good indicator of whether or not a character will get into Smash.
Well as I said before with the car company example, they aren't going to pick a character like Zant over Ghirahim for obvious reasons. In other words, unless Skull Kid and Majora's Mask are remade, he isn't getting in.
Like Swampasaur said, sales don't matter to any great extent. Having a major appearance in multiple Zelda games is enough to elevate a character above one-timers (or characters with only one major appearance), as recurring major characters outside Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Epona, Impa, and Tingle are few and far between. Again, I don't think Vaati has a good chance either, but Skull Kid is hardly more likely. In reality, neither really has much of a shot.
The second Zelda on a system always sells worse. However, SS did sell better than MM, maybe check your numbers again. But again, sales don't matter. If you don't think SS is going to get the majority of the Zelda content in SSB4, you're a bit naive.
Yeah, because a character with one major appearance is equal to that of the primary antagonist of the whole series. Also, adding a character who hasn't had a recent appearance is hardly the same thing as cutting an existing Smash character without a recent appearance. As for Marth, I guess recent remakes of two games, major referencing and highly-promoted DLC in Awakening, and SMTxFE don't count as relevant.
As for when he wasn't recent, like around Melee and Brawl, being the most popular character, having a major role more than once in a series with a changing cast, and being the most iconic and "face" of the series do count for something. Skull Kid can't claim to have any of these. He's hardly the most popular character in his series, he's only had one major appearance in a relatively static cast, and the only thing he could be described as iconic or the face of would be his one major game. You do realize you're arguing for a character who has also been absent in the last three Zelda titles, and hasn't had an important role for the last ten?

To be fair, Tingle does make a cameo in SS. All the better for our argument.
I guess. I didn't really count it as "Tingle himself" but that could just be me. He's still referenced. It's kinda moot though, because he'll obviously be making an appearance in the WW remake. It's not a new appearance or anything, but he'll be back in peoples' minds.To be fair, Tingle does make a cameo in SS. All the better for our argument.
Man, NEVER use retros in a argument about relevance.
First off, if you don't see popularity for Ghirahim elsewhere, look harder. It's there. Even more than it is here. Here it's actually less than other places. Second, the same can be said about Skull Kid and Majora as with Ghirahim and Demise.
Yeah, and Ghirahim was the reason Demise even got summoned, which set the whole series into play. What has Skull Kid done for the series as a whole? Even if Demise is the pre-cursor to Ganondorf, Ghirahim is more popular, more prominent, and more feasible for Smash. You don't see people suggesting Majora as playable over Skull Kid. In any case, Ghirahim and Demise are both more important to the series than Skull Kid is.
Not sure what you are getting at here....
You dare call Minish Cap a mediocre game?
Ghirahim is 10th on the list, ahead of characters like Palutena and Shulk.Shortie's poll said:
Ghirahim stands 17th on the poll, Skull Kid (listed as Majora) is 52nd.Early 2012 poll said:
This isn't relevant, but don't forget about the CRAZY breaking of the Forth Wall in Majora's Mask. To me, that shows that it is one of the more memorable games, with it's darker tone and overbearing sadness..
And sometimes they are considered the worst. The quality of a game is relative and is complete opinion.

Thank you.
Strange how that works.... I guess people want their character in no matter what.... and when the characters are revealed, all we have is a huge storm of complaining.
I heard Sheik was wildly popular during the Melee days.... On the other hand, Skull Kid's popularity is similar to Ness's; emerging long after the release of the game. I really don't think it's sufficient.
