SBB is a fighter, no doubt about it. The only difference between it and other "normal" fighters is the scale of the maps and the unique gameplay. The increased maneuverability and jumping in SSB allows for a very unique gameplay experience compared to more traditional fighters. The increased flexibility allows for a larger number of simple, yet effective, attacks that can be stringed together in various fashions to produce combos of a different, but just as effective, nature than those in more traditional fighters.

Old school fighters generally have high and low attacks, consisting of punches and kicks, though some have the occasional mid level attack as well. SSB abandons this concept completely, and instead has forward, down, back, and up attacks of varying strength, as well as mid-air attacks in the same four directions.

Traditional fighters generally focus on stringing together various punch and kick attacks to perform intricate combos against one's opponent, whereas SSB focuses more on outmaneuvering one's opponent while getting in single hits here and there, occasionally stringing hits together to perform small combos, thus dealing greater damage to an opponent.

THey are two very different styles of fighters, but both fighters, nonetheless. The only thing SSB can be knocked for is being the first fighter to truly innovate the genre since it's inception.
