The thoughts of Smash Bros tourney folk should have little to do with judgment of the game itself.

Yeh, people who spend hours every day learning the ins and outs of a fighting game system and characters probably know nothing about balance. 

The tournament culture rejects the spirit of Smash Bros and plays hypocritically. Their input is invalid.

And neither of those, whatever the hell they mean, have any bearing on tournament players being in the best position to judge character balance. Any serious fighting game will now be tested, advised-upon or demoed with respected tournament players pre-release, and if SSB is to have proper character balance - making it a better game - this is the solution.

I don't know why you seem to have a disdain for those people that dedicate hundreds of hours into a game you yourself enjoy.
