None of the Smash Brothers games have been aimed at experts. They've just found their way to the game because it's fun as hell. (Apparently even with boring ass 1-2 stage no item games).
Competitive gaming doesn't stem from games having the most balance or being aimed at professionals,, it stems from the games being fun themselves.
The "Pros" will do a better job at regulating their expert scene then the companies anyway.
League of Legeneds is an EXTREMELY casual game as far as MOBA's go... yet competitivly it's a crown jewel.
TF2 has a pro league... and it's own balancing rules. (No more then 2 of any character... 1 medic... I think. or Demoman, i dunno, I kind of think Pro TF2 is dumb. I'd think Higherlander mode pro games would be more indicitive of skill.)
