* TheBusCameBack: The game's tagline is '''"EVERYONE IS HERE!"''' All fighters who appeared in the series, even those that have been cut, are playable. Note that Charizard returns back as part of Pokémon Trainer's set, not as an individual fighter.

''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is an upcoming game developed by Bandai Namco and Sora Ltd. and published by Creator/{{Nintendo}} for UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch for release in 2018. It's the fifth installment in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series and will be the biggest ''SSB'' game to date, featuring all characters from the previous installments as well as a few new ones (currently 65 are confirmed, over 83 stages, and more.

** Stages are now selected first before the characters. This allows for a more strategic selection of characters, as certain fighters tend to perform better or worse on certain types of stages.

* DreamMatchGame: While ''Smash'' as a series is already based upon this concept, this game takes it further by bringing back every fighter up to the point of this games release, including the [[GuestFighter third party]] characters, which allows for matchups that wouldn't have been possible at the time of their releases (such as Snake being able to fight Mega Man).

** All Final Smashes have been streamlined to keep matches fast-paced. To name a few examples: Sonic, Pac-Man, and Pikachu's Final Smashes have the characters attacking automatically; Fox and Falco's Landmasters are retired in lieu of a cinematic attack by the Star Fox team; and Donkey Kong's Final Smash replaces his bongos with RapidFireFisticuffs.

* ArtEvolution: Specifically for the stages. Unlike the previous games that simply port the stages or retouch them to retain the look (the ''64'' stages in particular), ''Ultimate'' goes out of its way to update the graphics of returning stages from Melee onwards, like [[https://i.imgur.com/VJzJbEn.jpg this example]] comparing Kongo Jungle from ''Melee'' (now named Kongo Falls). Abd even recent stages like Gaur Plains from ''[=3DS/WiiU=]'' get updated shaders and lighting.

* InsistentTerminology: Clone characters are not "{{Moveset Clone}}s," they are "Echo Characters." There is a distinction, as some clones (such as Dr. Mario and the three Links) are considered distinct enough to be individual characters.

* TheBusCameBack: The game's tagline is '''"EVERYONE IS HERE!"''' All fighters who appeared in the series, even those that have been cut, are playable. Note that Charizard returned back as part of Pokémon Trainer's set.

* AscendedMeme: For years, it was accepted as fact that Ridley would never be a playable character in ''Smash'' because he was "too big", e.g. he was so large compared to Samus that to make him playable would require scaling him down to the point that he doesn't feel as fearsome as he rightfully should. When he was finally announced to make his ''Smash'' debut here, what was his
newcomer blurb? "Ridley Hits the Big Time!"

** Daisy was formerly a palette swap for Peach before coming a playable (albeit Echo) character in her own right.
