Great work with the episode!
When the SSMB topic came up last week I was nodding passively, while I can appreciate all the skill demonstrated, dedication necessary to acquire that skill and enjoyment (plus cash) the pro players get out of the tourneys I agree with James and will add that I worry their version will leak and influence the design of what the game was initially designed to be.
Smash must have the element of randomness; random stages, random items. This is how the game was designed to be played. Likening it to sports, the pro version of soccer uses the same rules we use in our bar leagues, conversely, a game of poker on our 25-cent stakes table has the same element of randomness that the pro games have.
Just my two pennies.
p.s.
I also get bored from all the Foxes in tournaments.
