There is no evident proof that it is completely new. It could be an "enhanced port" which could be considered a "half-sequel". So please calm down. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Yagamilite|Yagamilite]] ([[User talk:Yagamilite|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Yagamilite|contribs]]) 23:57, 13 March 2018</small>

:There's so much rumors and speculation right now. And there is evidence on both sides for whether or not this is a port of SSB4. So until we have a concrete answer, which will be during E3, we should leave up "whether this is a new title or port" <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:190.86.161.78|190.86.161.78]] ([[User talk:190.86.161.78|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/190.86.161.78|contribs]]) 02:27, 18 March 2018 (EDT)</small>

Well... the latest earnings report from the investors meeting earlier this morning might have confirmed that this Smash is indeed declared- by the higher-ups, once and for all- to be a all new entry and NOT a goddamn port of Smash 4! Get my drift, boi? [[User: SonicTeamz90210|<span style="color: grey">'''Rexson'''</span>]] 18:44, 26 April 2018 (BST)

It has to be more generic. "An" Inkling requires no identifier. "Inkling" creates a unique name and character for it that requires no further explanation -- and is also consistent with our usage of Villager and Wii Fit Trainer. Or "Inklings" refers to the multiple Inklings that were seen in the trailer. [[User:TheNuttyOne|TheNuttyOne]] 11:22, 26 April 2018 (EDT)

If no one has anything to add, I'm changing it to Inklings. [[User:TheNuttyOne|TheNuttyOne]] 14:49, 27 April 2018 (EDT)
==Still unknown whether it's port or new game (As of 16 May 2018)==
I think it's best to not call it the "fifth installment" for now. Who knows, it could be just a deluxe port (watch the toxic replies come) and be part three of the Super Smash Bros. 4 group.[[User:Yagamilite|Yagamilite]] ([[User talk:Yagamilite|talk]]) 23:52, 16 May 2018 (EDT)Yagamilite
:I think it has a good chance of being either. I wouldn't really care if any mentions to it being the "fifth installment" are removed. We're about to get gameplay next month, so by then we'll know if it's a port or not. It might also be worth noting that Sakurai considers this the "sixth installment" since he counted Smash 3DS and Wii U as separate. [[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]]) 14:14, 18 May 2018 (EDT)
::We really have no reason to believe it's a deluxe port except development time and several "leaks" that may or may not be real. However, Nintendo consistently calls it a "new" Super Smash Bros., it has a completely new logo, its title is tentative (whereas a deluxe port of SSB4 would almost certainly be called "Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch"), and it has a new design for Link. From an encyclopedic standpoint, we should be reporting on these facts, not speculation and rumors. [[User:TheNuttyOne|TheNuttyOne]] 14:43, 18 May 2018 (EDT)
That doesn't mean anything. If you really want to report facts, you shouldn't use assumption standpoints as a basis. Even if they stand out strong. We still don't have enough  proof whether or not this is new or not. Believe me, I personally fall on the "new game" side, but point is, no one knows for sure. Also, Nintendo has never, in any way, referred to this as a totally brand new game, much less the "consistently" part. The new logo is just a teaser, they probably wanted to come up with a wittier title than "Smash Bros for the Switch", and Botw Link could very well be a palette swap.

:So if it was a port, would Nintendo put so much hype behind it, only to piss everyone off when they announce it to only be a port? [[Special:Contributions/75.141.57.33|75.141.57.33]] 10:10, 28 May 2018 (EDT)
::You make a good point, but it doesn't change the fact that there's a strong bubble of uncertainty surrounding the entire thing. Even I am strong in the conviction that it will be a new game, but we just do not know for sure. If we can't write anything without speculating, we can't write anything - it's as simple as that.

==Possible Pikachu==
Look closely and you will see a yellow thing. I can see its Pikachu because-
*Its short
*It has ears sticking thus its not Luca's hair
*Its a yellow shading
*There are no other characters like this expect Pika Pika

:'''''"With no pun intended, the lineup of characters is an inkblot test; people will see what they want to see. Anything beyond Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Samus is speculation."'''''

No, i mean't in the inkblot picture. --[[Special:Contributions/62.219.147.24|62.219.147.24]] 06:49, 1 June 2018 (EDT)
== Sudden announcement? ==
The last three titles (I personally count 3DS/Wii U as the fourth installment rather than fourth and fifth respectively like Sakurai said in an interview) had always been announced in development at least a year or two before their release, rather than months like the Switch version. Why is this? [[Special:Contributions/97.88.58.90|97.88.58.90]] 21:59, 11 June 2018 (EDT)
:We don't know. [[User:TheNuttyOne|TheNuttyOne]] 22:50, 11 June 2018 (EDT)
::Possibly due to the rage that the fans did they wanted it. -[[User:Play Dash|Mega Man is great.]] [[User talk:Play Dash|So is Roll.]] 01:06, 12 June 2018 (EDT)
:::What rage? People wanted the game, yes, but they didn't get upset about it. The entire "WHERE'S SMASH" thing was a meme, and no one was genuinely upset about anything.
:::And also, Melee was first shown off in August of 2001, ''three'' months before it came out in Japan, and was in development for 13 months. Smash 64 even arguably was announced months before, since Nintendo didn't even know if they wanted to bring the damn thing over here.
