Hey so it's been unofficially revealed that Namco is also working on this game and when the game started development(August 2016).

There was a problem fetching the tweet

LinkedIn: https://jp.linkedin.com/in/tiago-sonobe-39281828
Not exactly sure how any of that has to do with Namco, considering he left Namco and is currently working at Nintendo (based on his LinkedIn, Twitter, and how his name does make an appearance in Super Mario Odyssey's credits).
But it seemingly does confirm that work on Smash 5 had begun sometime AFTER August 2016, which lines up pretty well with what a lot of people here expected it to.

Don't really think this changes anything a whole lot, but it is nice to have some confirmation, I guess.

Meh.

Nominations - 5x Mimikyu


Smash 4 had some terrible poses, and these ones take the cake. I can only hope these are much improved this time around.
I think the Captain Falcon one is interesting. Could be better, but it's cool to see them in more action pose types than always static.



Can we Re-Rate Rex & Pyra and ARMs/Spring Man before E3?
Well, there's still always the chance Sakurai reserved a couple flex spots for upcoming games. And then there is also the DLC angle for both.

Link's Breath of the Wild inspired design should disconfirm this. This not only means that the Zelda cast will get brand new spanking renders and artwork, but other games that released around that time span such as Star Fox, Kirby, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem should get brand new art based around them. It is possible that some characters re-use the same pose, but I wouldn't bank on it. There's no reason to create new art for some but leave others in the dust.

No - every Smash game needs its own flair. I like seeing the smallest of details tweaked to fit the new game's tone and vibe.

Isn't this already deconfirmed since Link is getting a new costume and seemingly (and unfortunately for me) a new dominant hand? Why are we bothering?

Making renders takes almost zero dev time, so it's easy enough even if this is just an updated port (and if it is, why are we rating any characters?). There's no reason not to.

And good thing too. I feel everyone's Brawl renders were better than the Sm4sh ones.

Ah, but there are amiibo, so people don't want to buy them all again. Nintendo is a business, so of course they want you to do just that. And many of us will like good little consumers.

That's the other thing - amiibo. In Brawl, the story went that they were all trophies, and their official art reflected a pose that would serve well as a trophy for the SSE. Come Sm4sh they give us actual physical objects, but most of the cast is posed in such a way that they need a clear plastic stick up their *** to stay on the stand (or for the first round, they got a bright yellow stick in case the clear one wasn't obnoxious enough). Even the DLC characters, which were made after amiibo were a thing, were not immune (Bayo's legs spreading farther than the stand allowed...?).

I'd prefer everyone get a new render that would work as a physical object with minimal addition of supports. For example: Mario (especially if he gets a Cappy move or two) could get a pose similar to Luigi's Brawl render; Luigi could get something like his Brawl in-game trophy; Peach could get something similar to one of her taunts; Link could get a fighting pose like in the BotW cutscene where he protects Zelda from the Yiga; Zelda could get a pose like her sealing from the last memory cutscene (bonus points if she gets her royal gown since then she could be anchored by the entire dress); etc.

This was going to be much lower before I saw people bringing up amiibo. They're branding this as a new game, so even if it's mostly a port, I think it's unlikely they'll reuse art, but the possibility is there. I don't think BotW Link changes anything as far as we know right now, we haven't actually seen new artwork for Link yet.

They could recycle some artwork for a few characters but I think they'll go with new artwork. Also to everyone saying Link confirms they won't reuse artwork, you're wrong. It only confirms Link will get new artwork, not every character.

Nintendo could also just make amiibo based on the hypothetical Smash 5 art so collectors would have 50+ more amiibos the collect.

Reusing Smash 4 Veteran Artworks

Chance: 0%

Doing this takes literally no time at all away from the developers as they are not the ones creating new renders, the tone of the Switch game seems to be significantly darker than 4, Nintendo could easily profit off new amiibo for the veterans, and, in the only trailer thus far, Link is shown in his BotW gear, which is already a sign that veterans will likely be visually changed, but not to the extent of Link. Besides, this game will likely have a new rendering engine, according to a former Bandai Namco employee:

I would be significantly underwhelmed if we got the same artwork for the returning Smash 4 veterans that we have seen for nearly four years.

Chance: 15% - I could actually see this happening for some parts of the roster. You think they're gonna wanna do new poses and artwork for all 8 of the Koopalings? I could see them skimping out on a few and just using what they've already made. The amiibo thing has arguments both for and against it, so I don't think it can really factor in here in the end.

Want: 50% - I could care less honestly. It doesn't take a lot of time to do but also won't affect my enjoyment of the game in the slightest. If we do get new artwork and amiibos, I'm planning on only getting characters that weren't in Smash 4 anyways. So no skin off my back no matter what they do.

Predictions

Ganon: 12.22% - This one is interesting. Ganon's the only Zelda rep we don't have a double of yet, and Pig Ganon is a pretty big part of the franchise. But currently he's the Dorf's Final Smash, and unless he gets an overhaul I don't think the stars or people's hopes will align in his favor.

Nominations

Gonna take a quick break from Scorpion to help a classic hopefully make it for next week. So for today, Simon Belmont x 5.

Reusing Artwork

Chance: 0%
I usually give at least 1% because "just maybe", but this is different than character predictions. Never has a Smash game majorly reused stuff like icons, poses, art, etc. They all have their own identity. Also, updated art is needed to reflect updated characters. Just look at Marth's/Ike's transitions from Brawl to 4. Ike got updated to reflect his sequel and Marth got updated to reflect his remake. Plus, BOTW. We've had the TP design for Zelda characters for two games now, and I believe that Zelda will at least get a BOTW update along with Link.

Finally, the port argument needs to die. I can see reusing assets like what Smash 4 did with Brawl, but there is no way this game is just some port/deluxe edition of Smash 4. The logo, BOTW Link, Inklings, the reveal, the tournament, the video presentation that's going to be at E3, how can people still believe this is a port? It's PR suicide to hype a game up this much and to be so secretive and to have it be the big thing of E3 just for Smash on one of Nintendo's best-selling consoles to "be a port". No way.

i was really confused about this when you guys started. I was like "reused art assets? OF COURSE they'll reuse some of the art assets. They'd have to be insane to try building a 100% new Smash game from the ground up in just 2 years."

Now I see that we're talking about character renders. That makes more sense with the responses we've been getting because unless it's a port/enchanced port, that'd be a strange decision on their part.

Reused character renders from Smash Wii U

Chance - 2%

I think even if it's a Splatoon 2 style "sequel" most characters will have new renders. I think the only chance of this happening is if some DLC is added of previously cut characters that they wanted to toss out quick and easy so they just gave them the same art. Even that doesn't make a lot of sense, tbh.

Want - 30%

I won't be screaming and throwing a hissy fit, if they do. I just would prefer to see new artwork.

You know, I get the feeling that this is just a way of asking if Smash 5 will be a port.

The Smash reveal was terribly light on details, but one of the few things it deigned to tell us was that Link was having his appearance updated to his Breath of the Wild look. If only the Zelda cast gets new looks while anyone who hadn't had a new game since Smash 4 doesn't, it'll be awkward.

Compound with this the fact that they've never reused renders before (unless Jigglypuff counts!), and you've basically covered all the historical factors. Sure, they'll have to make new amiibos for literally everyone, but I doubt Nintendo will really see that as a negative. Smash 4 wasn't held back by amiibo production, and they know a lot better about the demand to produce an appropriate supply. It's not as if the Smash 4 amiibos will suddenly become defunct either, since amiibos are defined by the identity of their character, and not the model itself.

Want: 0%
I'd prefer it to not be a port, and if the engine's truly brand-new, then there's little point copy-pasting Smash 4 while they're at it.

Maybe they could feel a bit lazy and think the artworks don't need an update, idk.

Also I don't see the need of producing another Smash line of amiibos of 50+ characters because they strike some new poses.

Finally a new day for which I'm feeling inspired enough to write a well developped argumentation not copy-pasted from a previous post of mine. I'm also happy it gets rated before we got more Smash news, as it's virtually the most likely thing to be either confirmed or deconfirmed once we get them.

Reused veteran artworks chances: 40%
I'm pretty sure there are people who wonder why I even nominated this in the first place. And no it's not by sheer lack of imagination about what the new artworks could look like. I admit even myself I would not have remotely considered it if it wasn't for a few specific factors. The most important one is the amiibo. Nintendo already has a line of Smash amiibo and I'm not sure about them launching a second Smash amiibo line depicting mostly characters who already have a Smash amiibo: it might be better to reprint the old ones and put them in a new packaging that advertises Smash Switch rather than Smash Wii U. Also the artstyle of the initial Smash Switch teaser is very similar to that of Smash 4 CGI trailers, meaning no major artstyle shift from Smash Wii U to Smash Switch, making Smash 4 artworks reusable without clashing. It would be akin to something like the returning Pokémon in seventh generation games appearing exactly the same as in generation 6.

Now for the arguments against it:

It never happened before! aka Melee got new artworks, Brawl did, and so did 3DS/Wii U. Why would anyone expect this?
It is obviously unprecedented, which means my idea is a bit of a gambit. It's however okay to be prepared for unprecedented things if you think there are legitimate reasons why it could plausibly happen like I do.

Nintendo will just do another Smash amiibo line!
This is a possibility and would go against my "Nintendo will simply reprint old amiibo" hypothesis. It's debatable whether they might benefit more from the savings of not having to redesign a new line or from the collector interest that could come from veterans getting a brand new pose. Will reprinted amiibo in a different packaging sell as much as newcomer amiibo? (or veterans in a new appearance — see the "Link appears as BotW Link!" argument) Maybe yes if Nintendo finds a new audience that missed on Smash 4 and its amiibo line, maybe not if they're under-hyped compared to new ones and do not find a market audience to collectors who might be interested in having Smash characters in a brand new pose. Or maybe Nintendo will not do anything about amiibo for Smash 5 but it sounds unlikely.

Smash Switch is not going to be a port of Smash Wii U!
I'm pretty sure people might rate this concept with the idea of Smash Switch being possibly a port in mind. We have evidence against it being a port, and I myself do not expect Smash Switch to be close enough to the Wii U version to be rightfully be called a port. The fact it got its own teaser and Nintendo is still building up sunpense upon this new Smash entry alongside its development that probably started about two years ago mean it's very likely to be of enough caliber to rightfully be called an entry of a new generation of Smash. However, I believe artworks being reused is possible even Smash Switch not being considered a port.

Link appears as BotW Link!
Smash characters getting different amiibo depicting them in different costumes is not unprecedented.
:4corrin::4corrinf::4cloud::4cloud2::4bayonetta::4bayonetta2:
So if we get BotW Link as an alt for Link then we will both have the reprinted old Link amiibo and the new Smash BotW Link amiibo. There is another more legitimate reason however to believe that BotW Link might be evidence against the concept. It's BotW Link's right-handedness, while Smash Link has always been left-handed. It's possible to have an alt left-handed and another alt right-handed, but there's the fact that Smash doesn't ignore the Z-axis: there might be concerns about both Links in this case having slightly different hitboxes, which would make them incompatible as being the same characters, as alts must not have gameplay differences, forcing good old green Link to go right-handed too. If it can't be worked out, then they might do an exception for Link by ditching his old artwork and not that of other characters, but I don't like this kind of reasoning of moving the goalposts. Or BotW Link has is own character slot, but I do not except nor like this idea.

Reusd artworks want: 59%
Smash Switch reusing Smash 4 character artworks might make it feel like less of a true revolution which is fine by me. Smash 4 is great and I'm fine with the next entry feeling like an enhanced Smash experience that doesn't change as drastically as the Melee-Brawl or Brawl-Smash 4 transition, and I would like my Smash amiibo to depict the fighters the same as they appear in the new Smash. However it's ultimately not something I deeply care about; if it doesn't happen, my gambit will have failed, but that's fine.

We're most likely going to get all new character renders since this is a new game, they could sell more amiibos, and I think they'er going to want to try and distinguish this as much from Sm4sh so people don't confuse it with a port. They could always use the Sm4sh renders though, as in the new Mario Tennis they are reusing old Mario renders. These are games in two different leagues but it can happen.

I love a lot of the renders from Sm4sh, but I would really like some new ones.

They're giving us BotW Link. The Veteran art won't be a straight up 1:1 port. I feel like they'd change the renders of everybody anyway even if the game was a port.

Reused Veteran Character Art Chance: 10%

Can only see this happening if it's a port, which in itself is already unlikely at this point. That being said, I am aware the artstyle is similar (which does make sense, since while I expect it to be a new game, I also expect it to take a lot of resources from the pre-existing Smash 4) and the Amiibo situation. Even then I don't think it's going to be considered that big of a deal by the company, and taking Link's BotW redesign into account, we can already safely say at least some characters won't be getting reused artwork from the last game.

There's no reason for me to want this, unless by some small chance the art of the new game turns out to be awful, which I don't anticipate either. I'd much prefer something new.

Reused artwork?

Chance: 50%
Want: 0%

Mario games recycle artwork all the time. Smash has a lot of characters now so idk I think it’s a 50/50 chance.

If Bomberman and Belmont are both on the schedule next week, can we have a double day for them?

I think this is being underrated. Yes every game has had new renders, but every game also had significantly different graphics from the previous game. I don't think Sma5h's graphics will change much, if at all, from Sm4sh's, unless they go back to what they were in Brawl.

Some characters (obviously :4link:) could have new renders but others might not.

Want: 70%

It depends on how different visually Sma5h is from Sm4sh.

Looks like this is one returning possibility people are not a fan of.

@Llort A. Ton gets five noms for the concept prediction.

Today we have the Dark Lord, Ganon. As his own character. Please rate Pig Ganon in Chance and Want. Also please predict the scores for Bomberman.
