The Smash fanbase is insatiable. If it's another JRPG protag, swordsguy or fighting game character people will be furious. If it's first party people will consider it a waste. A portion of the fanbase is at the point where if it's not one of their personally beloved niche picks like Geno/Isaac/Shantae they will be unsatisfied, and of course many people will be unhappy if it is one of those.

The big third party mascots would be divisive too. This is the last character and people have their own stake in this now, it's as if people don't even want to be surprised anymore! Of course it's not entirely the fanbase's fault, Smash Bros absolutely encourages all this ridiculous hype. Satisfying the most people would mean being a large third party character who is already on the radar of fans but different enough from the others that have been added and with a wide enough base that they're recognisable, so... yeah I dunno. They've set themselves up for disappointment, here.

Bird Studios/Shueisha
One of the most recognizable designs in the world
Not remotely like anyone.
