Sakurai acting like it is or that he does do a good job capturing these characters accurately is bullshit. Unfortunately he says these lies all the time in interviews.
Now that I think about it, he's actually true to his word for some of these characters. Mr. Game & Watch, the third-party trio (especially Mega Man; look at all those custom specials), Olimar, Little Mac, Bowser Jr., and Duck Hunt come to mind. I'm sure there's more.
It seems like most of the newer additions have movesets that strongly reference their games, but a lot of the veterans have been grandfathered into using moves that don't reflect them as well, because people expect their favourite characters to play the way they've always played. People got mad when they gave Mario FLUDD, for example.
as others have been saying, can't please everyone
