I don't get why they made gohan the "smart fighter"

He's never fought smart. He's fought with his heart. When he's backed into a corner he unleashes all of his power until his foe can't move. Piccolo was the strategist. He has strategic abilities like regeneration, stretchy arms, and the hellzone grenade.

Not that I like Gohan being shafted in the power department (having the highest strength ceiling was plot relevant multiple times), it makes sense.

He's a nerd. He's only ever fought in major conflicts because he had to, and wasn't interested in training except when he knew there was a major fight coming. So it makes some sense he'd be more interested in strategy.

He is also good friends with Piccolo and received his original training from him, so he could have easily picked up that interest.

I'm not following Super, but I imagine that it'll probably eventually rehash the "Give Gohan a magic deus ex machina to level him up to max potential" plot point if they want him to really shine. And then swiftly become irrelevant because he gets cocky and gets knocked out of commission.
