Smash Bros is a Platformer Fighter.

If you think about it, the main inspiration for Super Smash Brothers is Kirby and Mario, which are platformers. The well-developed aerial game in Smash is something that is not seen in any other fighting game, and most of the fun and strategy comes from using your two jumps. Plus, there's the fact that the most common way to defeat your opponent is to smack them into a bottomless pit. When you combine that with the lives system, you get the classic elements of a platformer.
