It happened once. That's hardly proof of anything. Roy was a no-one from a game that never got an international release, whereas Marth was the first lord AND his game had a rerelease in the pipeline for later the same year, even internationally, which obviously Nintendo knew was going to happen. And Roy was a clone, several of which were wiped from brawl (Pichu, Roy, Young ->Toon is arguably a big change, Dr. Mario ). I'd say there's still a very good chance Ike is going to be in Smash Bros 4.
For that matter, Ike shows up multiple times in awakenings dlc, often being called the strongest fire emblem lord, and he's the only fire emblem lord outside of marth to be mentioned in awakenings story mode (other than that games lords, obviously), in the very last bonus chapter where his descendent turns up wielding his sword, so intelligent systems at least has a hardon for him.
Hector didn't even get a proper dlc character version.
