No, no, no!  Didn't you get the memo?  Super Smash Bros. is a GENRE, not a game!  Genres have multiple games in it!  Just like God of War is a genre, and Dante's Inferno is merely a game in that genre. 

I think Fighting or Hack'n'Slash are genre...

Idea here is to make games in a genre their own genre, so that way you can say a title by a competitor isn't a knockoff/clone, but merely another game in the genre.   By doing it your way, you ended up making All-Stars look like a Smash Bros. knockoff/clone.  And one can then argue that Dante's Inferno is not a knockoff of God of War.
