People who are worried the new smash game won't have a long competitive lifespan because "it's too similar to Brawl" need to chill. SSB4 will have a fine competitive lifespan.
How can we know this?
Brawl had tripping.
Brawl's competitive scene is still alive, and it has tripping. A clear anti-competitive feature. But the scene trucks on, it's still played competitively. Not to mention it's horribly imbalanced (MK).
So with all of its faults, Brawl is still played in tournaments. So yeah, SSB4 will be just fine. Even if it manages to mimic Brawl's physics 100%, if it doesn't have tripping it's already 2x the competitive fighter Brawl was.
