This makes no sense.

Why do people complain about Clones in Smash Bros and those same people complain about how Mario Kart Wii gave each Character its own individual stats. Give me a reason why individuality is fine in some games and not in others.

Smash and Kart are very different types of games. Mario Kart is a racing game. Due to weight classes, you may as well just have three characters. Smash is a fighting game full of characters. You can't have all the fighters in a fighting game play the same.

fighting games are completly different and use different mechanics, unlike racing games where as said by gp, may as well have just 3 characters based on sizes.

fighting games rely heavily on movesets, combos, mix ups, and mind games, where racing games dont.

Do you even know that they're the same people complaining about it?

Fandoms tend to be huge blobs of different people with different opinions. The whole may be fractured into smaller sub-groups that want different things. For example, it is entirely possible that one sub-group within the fandom will complain about something. And if that element is taken out later, a different sub-group who actually enjoyed it may in turn be angered by that. You only ever hear the whatever side is complaining at that time, because they are the loudest. This gives you the impression that the whole fandom is complaining, when it's actually just part of it.

Holding differenting opinions is a completely logical thing that happens in any group dynamic. Yet many people treat fandoms as a single unified person, and they use this warped logic to call them out for hypocracy. It's asinine.
