I write too much.
The latest one is actually fairly balanced as a result of many, many patches. The original version was very reminiscent of vanilla Injustice XDI meant *fighting games*.
But seriously: I admittedly never played smash competitively so I'm fairly ignorant on tiers and a ton of stuff for the game...but I know enough to know that if it is "balanced" its pretty much a massive fluke rather than intentional design choices.
It can happen...but you can't count on lighting striking every time.
Turns out with Smash 4 they finally stopped fighting the competitive community, which is nice.
