Bayonetta kinda did the same.
She had outfits from both of her games.

Snake was basically had Solid outfit but with Big Boss face.
The issue is he managed to get in despite having little history with Nintendo.
Aside from those 2 ports for the NES of Metal Gear and the remake for the Gamecube of MGS 1 there was nothing else at the time he debuted.
And all the references were from MGS 1,maybe it was because Kojima and Sakurai are pals.

Doomguy on the other hand is from a series that sure has Hell and all but it never took itself nearly as seriously as Metal Gear.
The problem are=
-His weaponry:Snake uses explosives and Sakurai doesn't want any realistic gun in Smash.
And one of Doomguy's signature weapons is the SSG.

-Doom is not that popular in Japan but that didn't stop Little Mac from Punch Out to get in,and the latter is almost unknown in Japan.
