Look, there's always going to be a small pool of characters for tourney-players simply based on small differences in speed and size, whether their moves involve crossing the screen and glitches too.
If people are looking for a SSB game where almost every character is so balanced that you almost every character is viable for big nerd-off tournaments, then you'd be looking at 20 near-clones. With no items. Final Destination.
"Tournament Play" will be the same as ever because tournament players will fit this square peg of a game into the round hole they so greatly desire so, yeah, only a few characters will happen to be the best at the blandest stage with an entire gameplay element ripped out of it.
For everyone else, it's 24 characters with a bunch of weird items on a load of crazy stages going crazy and so even the likes of Pichu from SSBM can win.
