Nope.

If anything, it's underrated.

 

It really isn't.

Most overrated though? Probably DoA, in the sense that people actually treat it as if it's a serious competitive game.

Who hypes up DoA?  I think the perceived hype for DoA is like the Halo Killer comment.  It is perceived to be out there in large numbers, but isn't.  DoA exists, but no one really talks about it at all.  Tekken is arguably overrated if you want to discuss a game hyped.

In regards to this discussion on quality of fighters, I would have to bring up Virtua Fighter and ask about it.  It seems to be arguably underrated, and hardly discussed.  It is praised in passing, but isn't played as much as Smash Bros.  Smash Bros. seriously gets played a lot and has a cult following behind it.  

I do believe Smash Bros. IS a fighting game the way Powerstone is.  Brawl games using weapons.  A different niche of fighting games than Street Fighter and so on.  Also, wrestling would fit in here, and that is another niche of fighting games to, as is boxing.
