Smash Ace
But those games are still regarded as "first generation" and then Gold/Silver was "second" etc. So no, that comparison doesn't work. These are both just different sides of Smash 4.They're not technically different entries entirely. They'll have the same characters with the same moves. He's saying that they're technically both 4 and 5, that's all. He doesn't consider them the exact same game.
Notably, this is probably why he chose the names. So nobody could say which is 4 and which is 5. It lets players choose their own headcanon for that bit. I still think of it similar to Pokemon Red and Blue. I think he might too.
