Street Fighter is a traditional 2D fighter. Super Smash Bros is a brawler. 

well brawler and fighter are interchangeable for me but yeah that's obviously what I meant

Both grew out of the beat em up genre in the 80's and 90's, but the difference betwene the two is 2d traditional fighters require technicality and in depth controls. This gives it more facets and things to master like a game of chess. Brawlers like Powerstone and Super Smash and primarily played less for skill and mostly for enjoyment even though they can be played on a competitive level. Super Smash was designed admittedly by the developer not to be like fighters so more people would have fun and be drawn to it.

A pattern like Tatusnoku vs Capcom for the game would work to keep it as simple for people new to traditional fighters.
