Smash Bros pulls characters representing gaming history as a whole. And sadly, that means that in order to get that representation where they want it (as you said, Terry is the main mascot of King of Fighters), there's goign to be more males. What this does is highlight that games as a whole have a long way to go. They've clearly been making the effort, and that's appreciated, but I understand what they're working with.
Now, had they picked Athena, that would be nice, but you know, then there's her costume... Oh, and the guy from Crystalis. Yes, I've heard people say "it's ambiguous it could be a girl!" but I mean, a big part of that game is changing your character with a spell to sneak into an Amazonian village. It's a guy.
We'll see where it goes. With Doom 64, that's another interesting tick towards Doomguy being the next and final fighter in this pack of fighters. Terry also checks the "please the Japanese fans" check box, so we'll see what comes up in the next Direct.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
