Few problems with your post.
1. Sounds like you have barely touched the game or played enough to "HATE IT WITH A PASSION"
2. For having barely played said game you seem to know a lot of gliches or other things that I never noticed and I've played hundreds of hours.
3. Your friend flat out sucks horrendously if a new player no matter how many games they have played is able to beat him when he is a veteran smash player.
Looking at all those 3 facts above, you are either contradicting or flat out lying and this post is just flame bait.
As for its appeal? It's a fun game to play. This is true of most Nintendo games. No worry of epic story, or breathtaking graphics or whatever you want to tote. At the end of the day Nintendo tends to put out games that are FUN. That's their Appeal.
