Why do you think that Nintendo usually does not add stat-tracking in their games? Super Smash Bros. Melee may be a huge landmark in the stat-tracking video game world, but keep in mind that much of that stat tracking is based around nonsense terms and made up nintendo mumbo-jumbo. Also, everyone knows that SSB is a non-competitive game, specifically designed for fun in gameplay, and never intended for it to matter who won the game. If you're going to make stat-tracking, you must make sure it revolves around fun and not around numbers.

Think about it first!
The stats gathered are meant for the staff who should then be able to evaluate and make decisions based upon it. Not for players which is what I assume you're talking about.
