Always? Nope, there are plenty of fighting games where button-mashing will win almost as well as lots of practice will... Virtua Fighter 4 is of course the opposite of such games. :)
I like both. In general, that is... over genres. In fighting games... I don't know. SSB does have depth, it's just a different kind from CvS2. I think both games are fun. I don't dislike CvS2 for having special moves you have to memorize... sure you have to memorize, but at least it lists them in the game, and anyway... practice SHOULD make you better at games. They shouldn't have impossible difficulty curves, but you should get better with practice...
In racing games... yeah, I like simple. But in strategy games, I like complex... simple isn't awful, but it's not as good. Though, there is a limit... The Settlers is just tedious, for instance. A balance, like the perfect balance Blizzard hits, is best. Oh, and if it must be slow, make it really fun... see, Civilization... (I think Age of Empires is a somewhat dissapointing series, BTW, despite how good it is, because it's a super slow paced RTS that is trying to be more like Civ but just doesn't quite make it... it ends up being just very slow paced. Fun, yes, but not as good as either Warcraft or Civilization...)
