If Smash 4 is to slow, why don't they just make tournament play require that your character has their speed stat maxed out and just play with customs on. That's basically Turbo Mode for Smash, right?

I don't see why that'd be an issue. They have no issue with playing with modded Brawl disks. How would this be worse?

Sakurai literally gave players a way to roughly "Project M" Smash 4. If they are patient enough to recode an entire game, I don't see why they can't do those same character tweaks in custom Smash.

It was less the speed but more of the lack of some of the more advanced techniques like wavedashing and L-cancelling that most people disliked about the newer Smash games.  While there is an item that allows you to land quicker after attacks mid-air, it would be difficult trying to get almost 50 of the same equipment with the same stat boosts which is why they are banned in most tournaments.  Plus there are still some aspects of the engine like lack of shieldstun and the fact that dodge rolls are easy to abuse that Smash 4 can't be like Melee even with speed increasing items.
