It's mostly just 2D fighting game combat translated into 3D with a lock on targeting system.

fighting games are fast tho. if a fighting game had souls combat it would be boring af

smash bros is intentionally designed to be the least like fighting games it can be, i think sakurai has some youtube videos about the design concepts.
