User blog comment:Strife237/Sonic may not be appearing in SSB4!/@comment-6576725-20131010184821/@comment-26113388-20131010220446

Unfortunately, this is more than a rumour. This has hard facts behind it. There is fan support to keep Sonic in SSB4 however, so let's keep hope.

Once again, this is not just about getting Sonic back in SSB4. This is also about mending a broken relationship here.
