Kratos was just an example. I'm not saying we need Kratos in Smash. Maybe I should have mentioned Microsoft's Master Chief? Anyway, Sony and Microsoft characters have very low chances of being in Smash, because they are competing with Nintendo, and business rivals don't license each other's characters. The Sega mascot Sonic was put in Smash because of Sega becoming Third-Party after the Dreamcast lost to the Playstation 2. And no, I don't think Kratos or Master Chief would be needed anyway.
