Generally speaking tournament play is specifically designed to be competitive, so like modern combat sports, it has weight classes. You don't see true equality even in that 'unpowered' level of play, but you like to see characters that at least seem to stand in a similar class of power, so as to determine at least in part who is outright the better fighter, rather than the better character.

They don't have weight classes in Street Fighter, Quake, or even break dancing competitions. The most they will have is divisions for different tiered players because of skill gaps. The characters are being examined one at a time. Take this time to sign up to a Yu Gi Oh local tournament and ask for a weight class. They'd probably direct you to formats instead.
