While Melee requires more skill and it's more competitive, it relies on exploits which were not balanced in the first place. From a gameplay stand point, Smash 4 is a better fighting game because the mechanics used to play it both competitively and casually are balanced.

Smash 4 is definitely the better casual game, as well, given the fact that it dispenses with a lot of useless punishing tactics like a single air dodge or ledge hogging. Furthermore, it has way more characters (including third party characters) and the ability to stuff in 8 players in a single match. And it's way easier to be good at Smash 4 than it is to be good at Melee.

It's funny to say this, when the 'exploits' you talk about are actually hard as fuck to execute well enough to be a high level player.

Besides that, it's still a better balanced game than Sm4sh. Check top 8 character representation vs the total cast count.
