*looks you up on Miiverse*I can say with honesty that it may be because they didn't even care and just wanted it for Miiverse. That's why mine doesn't even have glasses like myself(it looks amazingly like me, though, otherwise).
Or cause Sakurai doesn't find him worthwhile or care period. I know many forget about this, but only Anime/Manga characters were ever barred, at least during Brawl, where the character might have been possible, given he's from a different non-barred media and had a Nintendo appearance, never mind having popularity and uniqueness as a possibility. As for 4, Sakurai probably tightened his 3rd party criteria to "must've originated in some kind of game" by now. Instead of more vague Brawl criteria.
The choice sucks, but it's not like he doesn't actually fit actual given criteria. Also the same reason why it's not worth attacking people on Miiverse for these silly choices. What they're asking for is unlikely as hell, but was never impossible. Unless it's from a Manga/Anime, it matters little at this point. In fact, the only tightening Sakurai seriously did was say that it needs to be a special occasion. He never really actually told us Brawl's criteria wasn't still being used. So contracts, etc. could be special enough. Overall, that type of request isn't that unreasonable when it comes to being legitimately possible. It's just not nearly that good compared to some actual favorable video game choices (or even from games first) that would be lost for these types of characters. And I don't just mean, say, a Digimon, but we've got characters from Square-Enix, video game adaptions of shows that have original characters(ironically, there's only one Video Game Only [Notable] Power Rangers character, and he's on the PS2. Power Rangers Super Legends was supposed to have a Wii version. Whoops. Too bad for Bandai on that one, no?). But you get what I mean, though.
Cool, you resemble the default one. :T
