2000+ hours of Smash 4 here.
1: And make shielding even better? No thanks.
2: After playing Pokkén, I kinda wish for the opposite. Zoning can actually require more skill to use than not. I main gardevoir.
3: Couldn't agree more.
4: Absolutely.
5: There is so much to improve here I won't even bother mentioning.
6: I don't think they need to go that far. Just make more incentive to use custom moves, more balancing, have a custom move without equipment effects mode, including in online, make them less grindy to get, I really feel this would improve the game a lot.
7: This would probably trim mostly low tiers and not affect competitions much. Some are widely used in free for alls and by casuals, others are well known from their series and fans might buy it for their presence. And there's amiibos. While this may improve competitivene scenes, it's not a sound business decision. Oh, and the recent Trela vs Jade and ZeRo vs Prince Ramen would never happen again. I agree the characters could use more work though.
