It's still an outside possibility. Hell, the last game had Mario/Dr. Mario, Fox/Falco, Captain Falcon/Ganon, all of whom are basically move-clones of each other, barring some minor tweaks.
That having been said, I don't particularly care if Ness is in it.
I think Sakurai has stated that they're trying to get rid of "clone" style duplicates this time around. Plus, see also "I don't believe Mother is popular enough for two protagonists."
But yeah, I don't get the outcry over the loss of Ness. Lucas brings both representation of Ness's play and of the series. And it's not like Ness had an in-game personality for people to be attached to.
I'd like Ness for the whole "Mother protagonists team up/do battle" fanservice, but it looks like Lucas will play at least somewhat like Ness. I'm glad his moveset isn't identical; that'd be kind of boring.
I have an excuse for Lucas to learn PK Fire/Freeze/Thunder/Magnet Shield/Meteor...Kick? now.
Part of me still wants to hold onto the hope that he'll still be in there in some form because that'd mean Earthbound content for adventure mode. Unfortunately, it seems that they'll be content enough to punch Americans in the face repeatedly with Mother 3 spoilers in that instead. Bleh.
On the other hand, with that moveset, it'd be really easy for Paula to be unlockable clone (if there are clones) YAY PIPEDREAM.
I'm not sure about "Mother not being popular enough for two protagonists" either since it's pretty clear that this content's catering to the Japanese market and Mother was still pretty popular in Japan. That and on that "what character do you want in Brawl" list had at least the other three Chosen Four members getting voted for in some way.
