The second most significant/popular character from the series is Samurai Goroh whose only important because he's the Cap's sucky rival. That is literally his character: sucky, overweight samurai racer guy. Among other characters uh... there's Black Shadow, who is boring and sucky, Deathborn who was made up by a 3rd party developer for GX, and Rick Wheeler from GP Legend, who is... really boring and forgettable? No one cares about Pico or Dr. Stewart, either. It's a racing game, the characters don't matter and Captain Falcon is there because he's at mascot status for what used to be an important series for Nintendo.
So your argument is that F-Zero characters are sucky and Mother characters are cool? Okay gotcha.

How can you even measure what it means to be significant? Every character in F-Zero has their own background and personality. Jody Summer is the spokeswomen for the Galactic Space Federation and leads the fight against criminals like Black Shadow and Zoda. Every character is connected in some way to each other... well I guess characters like Bio Rex don't really matter.
The thing about Mother it has a new set of characters EACH GAME whereas F-Zero uses the same cast each time. Besides Ness/ Paula are pretty much the same characters as Ninten/ Ana.
Why do you think Mario or Pokemon has so many characters? It's not because these are rich "cool" characters. It's because the series itself is so beloved.
Mother series is no more important than F-Zero and it won't get more characters because it's characters are so cool and you like them so much. That's not how Smash works.
You are just simply biased. You are familiar with the Mother characters and have fallen in love with them and that's why you think they deserve to be in this game.
Guess what, millions of people have a franchise of characters they have fallen in love with and are dieing to see in Smash. So what makes yours so much more important than theirs or anyone else?

If anything, when it comes to character cuts, the priority is most likely weeding out the clones than equalizing the franchise representation.
I doubt Wolf and Toon Link are coming back for this same reason
Well I'm not saying it's BECAUSE of F-Zero Lucas will be cut. I'm saying that the two always were intended to have one character, and now that Sakurai needs to cut some guys for space it's very likely he'll choose Lucas.
I'll admit F-Zero doesn't really need another character... But neither does Mother.
