If you had to represent Namco Bandai with a Tales of character (and really, that's a bad decision to make anyway, compared to choosing a real mascot like Pacman), why not go for an older, more recognizable face? Like Lloyd or Luke, or maybe even Kratos.
...Because they're newer?
Xillia characters haven't appeared on a Nintendo system, so no, they never had a chance.

I don't remember people being turned off by Melee when it came out
There were definitely people turned off by Melee. After all, the transition from 64 to Melee was sort of like that one DBZ episode where Goku, while traveling through space to Namek, had to contend with 100 times Earth's normal gravity. So many SDs back in those days...
Hopefully when Smash 4 comes out, the competitive community won't blow itself up again now that we all know the scene won't fall apart just because the latest game wasn't the greatest thing ever.
