No, its not the same! While it wasn't changed dramatically, it definitely changed. More moves changes things... as well as changing the feel of some of the existing characters, and totally changing the throwing and smash systems... those are dramatic changes! In SSB I almost never did any smashes (I got that 'smashless' award many times), while in Melee I do them all the time... and with throws its the opposite... no, the gameplay changed a lot more than you say.
