So reviewers are docking Smash 10 points or more for no reason?

I'd say the 9/10 is more than deserved considering that it's still on the iffy side considering that the 3DS (XL) is just too small for this. That, and the slide pad.

Overall, if I didn't deduct points due to hardware faults (which were in no way Sakurai's or the dev teams' failures), I'd give this a 10/10.
