c. falcon´s inclusion was because of two factors: 1- He was designed to be the SNES mascot when he was created, so he was relevant for the staff at the time, and 2- it is said that his moveset was already created in the very first SSB beta, the Dragon King - Falcon just inherited the moveset from a random fighter. If Sakurai could think on a slow but punishing style for his very first fighting game, I guess he´d do it in 1993 too.
As for Yoshi, since it is already tied to a bigger being (Mario), i think the devs would discard it due to series over-representation (at the time yoshi was a mere powerup to mario - it´d only get the moves later when Yoshi´s Island is released).
[edit] nice Link! certainly looks much better
