I think in a game like this where characters are balanced for 4v4 with items on and dynamic, potentially hazardous, stages rather than 1v1 with no items and safe stages, concessions have to be made to accommodate the custom rules the smash community have made for their scene.
Fact of the matter is, in a game where the only reason why a character like Bayonetta exists is because she's made to be fun rather than fair under very specific and self-imposed conditions, she's just broken when it comes to competitive smash atm. And any attempts to defend that fall flat, because she's not supposed to be fair under those conditions.
If you want to play smash "seriously," seriously ban a character who was very evidently not made your scene, the same way you already ban items and stages not made for your scene. You make the rules here, not Sakurai.
