OK, this is going to be my last post on this topic since debating results in me getting really heated when I write big posts, so I hope what I say here shows better my opinion on thisYour argument falls apart with your examples. Shadow and Dixie have actual histories and games they're in. They're not like Kasumi who's not even out yet in Japan.
I was more talking about Richter's placement in Smash in that example, and how much he really did "deserve" it over characters like Shadow & Dixie, who also have histoy like you mentioned, much more history than Richter in fact, yet didn't get in as characters despite "deserving" much more than Richter due to being more relevant to the gaming world those days than Castlevania was when the roster was decided on back then. Though, to give credit where it's due, Richter helping Simon moveset & being quite popular in Japan helped his chance by quite a lot. So the "deserve" argument isn't the only one I would use alone to speak about an echo inclusion, especially with a character like Kasumi who, like you said, isn't even in a game yet, much like how Roy (Corrin isn't a good exemple actually, Roy is a better case) wasn't in a game by the time that he got into Smash and was just a clone of Marth with fire added on it, I think it's important to see her inclusion less under one light and more how easy she is to make as a echo of Joker and how much Atlus will push her in the future.
