I have a problem with Sakurai & Co. because instead of doing anything about Samus' CQC, he and his team decided to screw her over. By this point, perfect shielding may as well just come back, especially with how parrying has been nerfed regarding multi-hit attacks. Next, they'll slow Samus down because of how evasive and defensive she can be. I have fought people who either had no reflector, or who did and didn't have to use it because they knew how to get around my projectiles.
Sakurai & Co. don't know how to balance. Olimar got buffed when he needed to be toned down a bit. Bayonetta got nerfed again. Isabelle, in spite of me loathing that match-up, also got nerfed when fans have complained that she needs buffs. Like I said, instead of balancing and fixing Samus' flaws, they decided to just nerf her. This only confirms my belief that Metroid is a franchise they don't care about. Hell, Ridley got nerfed and he needs buffs!
