This isn’t a thread to ask for DLC or game-mechanics changes!
Patches Semi-Confirmation:
The Replay-Mode in Super Smash Brothers for 3DS tells us, that videos can get useless, if a new version of the game exist. This pretty much confirms the possibility of Gameplay-Patches!
After the release of Super Smash Brothers for 3DS in Japan the game already saw its first patch. This shows us, that Nintendo will support the game after its release. At least on the functional side. Mario Kart 8 also got a bigger patch recently, which even changed small inconveniences based on feedback from the community (like the cursor starting at “Next Race” instead of “View Replay”)
With Nintendo possibly collecting data for other patches, we also should start to gather bugs, glitches, inconveniences, balance issues and other problems, which bother every player and negatively influences the game. Besides informing other players about those issues, it is important to get vocal about those problems and giving analysis, journalists and others a source to go even more public with those information.
I will split issues in different categories. From game-breaking glitches to smaller inconveniences. If you want to add something to the list, use the following template. Please do not use insider-words of the community or abbreviations. Words, which are also used in-game (e.g. Power Shield) or are common videogame or game-design terms (e.g. Knockback), are completely fine:
Type of issue: Look at the different categories and choose the best fitting one.
Descriptions: Please try to be specific and also brief.
Condition: If there are specific condition to get a bug or glitch to work, name then here. This is optional field for other points.
Trigger: If you know the technical background, why a glitch gets triggered, describe it in here.
Consequences: Describe why this issue needs to be fixed.
Solution: If you have a solution in mind, post your idea here. Please don’t go overboard with it. Try to stay realistic and simple. Otherwise this point is optional.
Source: If you have any sources, write down the link to a photo or a video post in here. A source will make the issue easier to understand.

Dominate Strategies / Advantaging Balance Issues: ( 2 Issues / Last Update: 02.10.2014)
Here I need to be special clear: I only will include issues, which have big consequence for the game and a character, and aren’t based on a glitch, but attributes or other standard elements of the game. If a player has no chance of escaping, something takes the fun of playing a character and overall hurts the normal flow of the game, i will be included in this list. In other words, if “Don’t get grab” is the only option for a player, while getting grabbed is a basic part of the game, then we can call it an Dominate Strategy or Balance Issue.
[collapse=Dominate Strategies / Advantaging Balance Issues]
Diddy Kong can instantly cancel animations and hit-stun in the air with his Neutral-Special-Move.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition: While Diddy Kong suffers from hit-stun or goes through an animation in the air, the player inputs the command for his Neutral-Special-Move “Peanut Pop Gun” and cancels the move with the Shield-Button.
Consequences: While Diddy Kong should actually be suffer from hit-stun or go through the original animation, the player now can use Diddy’s Neutral-Special-Move or interrupt it with every another move. This allows him to interrupt any form of combo, multi-attack or lag from an animation. This gives him an unintended advantage in many different situations.

Disadvantaging Balance Issues ( 1 Issues / Last Update: 02.10.2014)
Not every balance issue has positive side-effects for a character. Some are very easy for other character to explode and take the fun away, playing those characters. The issue has to have his origin from the victim-side to be listed here.
[collapse=Disadvantaging Balance Issues]
After Wario releases himself from a opponent grab, he can’t avoid a follow attack from different characters, including Little Mac’s KO-Punch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition: The opponent uses one of following characters: Little Mac, Shulk, Zerosuit Samus, Rosalina & Luma, Shiek or Paulenta. The opponent grabs Wario and let him break free from the grab automatically.
Consequences: After Wario gets released from the grab, the player can’t act for a limited time. But this is enough time for many different characters to act before him, while Wario can’t avoid there attacks in any form. The Characters Little Mac, Shulk, Zerosuit Samus, Rosalina & Luma can even use some of their strongest attack against Wario and get a sure KO against the player.

Minor Balance Issues: ( 1 Issues / Last Update: 02.10.2014)
This category is kind of speculation and don’t have to be real issues. There about game elements, which don’t look like to be intended and aren’t glitches, but break the rules of the game. Since they don’t give a player a real advantage, i don't count them as real Balance Issues. Nonetheless they will be included for completeness.

Mega Man can escape multi-hit moves with his Up-Special-Move.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition: While Mega Man gets hit from a multi-hit move (e.g. Pikachu's Down-Smash) and uses the command for his Up-Special-Move "Rush Coil".
Consequences: Although Mega Man should be suffer from the Hit-Stun of an multi-attack, he still can summon Rush, bounce upwards and thereby escape the opponent's attack. Therefore he only will suffer from the first few connecting hits of an mutli-hit attack. Yet he has no easy way to punish his opponent and take full advantage from his escape.

Dominate Strategies / Advantaging Balance Issues: ( 2 Issues / Last Update: 02.10.2014)
Here I need to be special clear: I only will include issues, which have big consequence for the game and a character, and aren’t based on a glitch, but attributes or other standard elements of the game. If a player has no chance of escaping, something takes the fun of playing a character and overall hurts the normal flow of the game, i will be included in this list. In other words, if “Don’t get grab” is the only option for a player, while getting grabbed is a basic part of the game, then we can call it an Dominate Strategy or Balance Issue.

Diddy Kong can instantly cancel animations and hit-stun in the air with his Neutral-Special-Move.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition: While Diddy Kong suffers from hit-stun or goes through an animation in the air, the player inputs the command for his Neutral-Special-Move “Peanut Pop Gun” and cancels the move with the Shield-Button.
Consequences: While Diddy Kong should actually be suffer from hit-stun or go through the original animation, the player now can use Diddy’s Neutral-Special-Move or interrupt it with every another move. This allows him to interrupt any form of combo, multi-attack or lag from an animation. This gives him an unintended advantage in many different situations.

Peach, Link, and Toon Link can cancel Hit-Stun / Aerial Lag by pressing Down-Special, while holding a Turnip / Bomb.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition: While holding a Turnip / Bomb in hand, do a short hop immediately followed by an airdodge. Upon Landing, press Down-Special and Peach / Link / Toon Link will instantly toss the item, bypassing the Aerial Lag caused by the Airdodge. This also works upon suffering any lag from an aerial, or when in Hitstun given by an attack.
Consequences: Peach, Link, Toon Link bypasses the ending lag or Hitstun given by aerials or attacks.

Disadvantaging Balance Issues ( 1 Issues / Last Update: 02.10.2014)
Not every balance issue has positive side-effects for a character. Some are very easy for other character to explode and take the fun away, playing those characters. The issue has to have his origin from the victim-side to be listed here.
[collapse=Disadvantaging Balance Issues]
After Wario releases himself from a opponent grab, he can’t avoid a follow attack from different characters, including Little Mac’s KO-Punch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition: The opponent uses one of following characters: Little Mac, Shulk, Zerosuit Samus, Rosalina & Luma, Shiek or Paulenta. The opponent grabs Wario and let him break free from the grab automatically.
Consequences: After Wario gets released from the grab, the player can’t act for a limited time. But this is enough time for many different characters to act before him, while Wario can’t avoid there attacks in any form. The Characters Little Mac, Shulk, Zerosuit Samus, Rosalina & Luma can even use some of their strongest attack against Wario and get a sure KO against the player.

Minor Balance Issues: ( 1 Issues / Last Update: 02.10.2014)
This category is kind of speculation and don’t have to be real issues. There about game elements, which don’t look like to be intended and aren’t glitches, but break the rules of the game. Since they don’t give a player a real advantage, i don't count them as real Balance Issues. Nonetheless they will be included for completeness.
[collapse=Minor Balance Issues]
Mega Man can escape multi-hit moves with his Up-Special-Move.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition: While Mega Man gets hit from a multi-hit move (e.g. Pikachu's Down-Smash) and uses the command for his Up-Special-Move "Rush Coil".
Consequences: Although Mega Man should be suffer from the Hit-Stun of an multi-attack, he still can summon Rush, bounce upwards and thereby escape the opponent's attack. Therefore he only will suffer from the first few connecting hits of an mutli-hit attack. Yet he has no easy way to punish his opponent and take full advantage from his escape.

Missing Features: ( 1 Suggestion / Last Update: 02.10.2014)
Don’t go overboard with this category. I only want to include minor features, which don’t need a complete overall of the game. For example more options, better information or changes in the User Interface.
[collapse=Missing Features]
Be able to see the changed character stats through equipment, while playing local or online with friends.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition: Before and after a match, any player can’t view the attribute changes of a character through equipment, if "Costume Equipment" is enabled and a player chooses as costume character.
Consequences: It is not possible to spot the changes of character. What allows another player to easily cheat and does not give us the possibility to attain knowledge of the changes in advance.
