Now, I didn't enter the tourney scene for Brawl until 2010, and I had only been to one that year. Since then, I've only been to two this year, and possibly a third coming up. That said, I have no idea how credible my 'source' is, so I apologize in advance if I look like an idiot.
According to the flash animation, Brawl Taunts, Sonic is the reason Smash Balls are banned from tourneys. This is absolutely understandable. His Final Smash itself made things too easy for Sonic players, and it was also easier for him to reach it given his high mobility.
However, I suspect that Sakurai and crew have learned from this mistake, and have balanced out any Final Smashes that could be branded in a category similar to Sonic's. Not only that, but I also suspect that Sonic may be missing from the roster (however, it's anyone's guess since he's only to appear on Nintendo consoles now).
Assuming that at least my first idea is true, would this affect the future SSB4 tourney scene? Would Smash Balls be legal? This is assuming, of course, that Smash Balls are still the only method to use a Final Smash.
While on the subject, let's also assume that the GamePad allows for asymmetric gameplay. Would that be insta-banned for not being balanced or would it depend on what purpose it does?
Let's speculate!
