To reply your statement, people usually take years out of their lives to make a game so it can sell well and make a profit and also be a game that anyone can enjoy. Whether Sakurai really cares about people modding his game or not, we don't know.People don't take years out of their lives to make a game, so others can find a hack and turn it into an improved version of the same game they created a few years back.
About your statement, it depends on the intention or mindset of the developer.
The Sims 1 and 2 are basically made so that it can be easily editable. There are so many hacks and mods for the game, Maxis(The company that makes the game) fully supports these hacks and mods for the game by making it easier to edit the game and add new stuff.
Same with Valve and Half Life(Counter-strike is a heavily modded version of Half Life developed by fans of the game, now it's one of the most popular online games today. Valve now owns Counter-Strike because they bought it out from the team who created the mod).
Blizzard with Starcraft and Warcraft 3 are also moddable(Warcraft 3 can be modded into a Mario Kart like racing game, thanks to their easy to use powerful map editor, WC3 can be edited easily).
Anyway SSBB isn't meant to be modded and in general game sharks or game modifying devices aren't supported by Nintendo(or Sony, or Microsoft). Though modifying games is itself not illegal.("Having paid Nintendo a fair return, the consumer may experiment with the product and create new variations of play, for personal enjoyment, without creating a derivative work.")
Well I hope this project works out well. I like mods, I still play Final Fantasy Tactics because of the modding/hacking community. With programs that allows me to edit nearly everything about Final Fantasy Tactics, I still find ways to make it fun and refreshing.
Also Super Mario World is still widely played today because of mods and hacks for the game.
Anyway to repeat what others have said in the thread, "If you don't want to play Brawl as Melee 2.0, then you don't have to".
