No need to play on CRTs anymore with this new iteration. There isn't any, if not hardly any screen tearing issues with this game.

Im almost certain that when I tried via CRT that it cut off a lot of stuff around the edges, maybe due to it going from a 16:9 signal down to a 4:3.

This strength serves more than me alone.
It's basically what was said before.
The game looks far better in HDMI than it does in composite cables, CRTs have smaller screens with lower resolution and take up more space, and this is a 16:9 game you're cramming to a 4:3 screen.
I played the 360 version Call of Duty: Ghosts and Advanced Warfare in a 29' Toshiba CRT TV with 480p resolution. The numbers and small letters are confirmed unreadable, there's 1/10 of the screen missing on both sides of the screen, and there are black vertical bars under the game at all times. It wasn't nice. Especially since it was Ghosts, brrrr, what a terrible game that was
Not only do most if not all CRTs have no HDMI input while the 3 current gen consoles need them and they're your only option in 2 of them, even if you try to get a newer game running on them, you'll deal with crap like that.
All in all, leave your CRT for your older games and video games, like Melee, the SNES, rail shooters that use classic Light-guns...

Smash 4 does not need to be upscaled to run on HD LCD TVs, so there's no lag. Melee is played on CRTs because there's noticeable lag on LCD screens, and Smash 4 doesn't have that.

I can't think of a single reason in the world someone would use a CRT over an HDTV for smash 4. The only reason they're used for Melee (and maybe PM? I'm not sure) is because of input lag issues that not longer affect the Wii U over an HDMI connection. There's really no benefit.
