Welcome!
In 2014, a small but notable tragedy took place...
While the new entry in the Super Smash Bros series was much anticipated and met with enormous acclaim, one couldn't help but notice something was missing:
The Ice Climbers.

The Ice Climbers.
"Even if I cram in as many fighters as I can, there are some people who are focused on the few who didn’t make it back. Among them are the Ice Climbers, who were playable during development on the Wii U. However, moving the two as a pair required significant processing power. The 3DS was already being pushed to its limit, and I couldn’t get them to work no matter how hard I tried, so I gave up on them. The other fighters had to be whittled and pared down until I could get them to work, so it was simply unavoidable.
I couldn’t get them to work no matter how hard I tried: I removed as many joints as I possibly could, and even when I removed certain effects, like gravity, they still wouldn’t work. Olimar and his Pikmin were also extremely difficult, but I managed to at least get them to work.
Also, characters and series that have no plans for future releases, or a low possibility of future releases, inevitably will be considered lower priority. Furthermore, transferring them from Melee would be difficult because the original data is old."

But alas, with the new Smash for Switch announced, there is a large chance they’ll make a comeback!
1. The data for them already exists in the Wii U version. It would be very easy to re-implement them into the game with a certain percentage already being completed.
2. It doesn't seem like exclusivity would be a problem. The 3DS "had its opportunity" and part of goal Smash for Switch would be to encourage people to purchase one, therefore it would need to have exclusives to die for.
3. They are a beloved veteran and given their seniority, the creativity linked to Sakurai, and their whole gimmick, I can't imagine Sakurai would let them "disappear" and be prevented from the roster. Relevance is not always related to a characters inclusion. Rather, a characters identity may actually be more correlated with Smash then the very game of origination.

And of course, if you support the idea of the Ice Climbers making a return, go ahead and let

“C'mon, Nintendo. Don't be so cold-hearted. It'd be really ice of you to bring back this very cool duo. With the switch, they can be unfrozen in time from Brawl. Mei the Climbers make their return!”
