There's no competition obviously because Mario, Zelda and especially Pokemon because it was cultivated and has other media alongside it.
But why does it need to compete with Smash though? I can argue that a lot Nintendo fans won't even bother looking into it because that is not Sony's market. It's the Playstation fans that will recognize Drake, Kratos, Knack, Hunter from Bloodborne, Cole, Toro, Kat, Aloy, Knignt From Demon Soul and the other Playstation owned characters. Then you have Spiderman that Marvel can lend because PS4 has an exclusive Spiderman game. Ryu or Hunter from MH or Dante again. Cloud, Geralt, Crash and Spyro. 

But this is still could be fake but I would want another PASBR but with more creative gameplay than the first one.

By the virtue of Sony making it like Smash in many aspects? I feel like Sony made the game just to have a Smash like game. That's not wrong, but it does set it up to be compared with Smash.

And as I said, I do not believe these two platforms have isolated fanbases. Many of them could own both, and buy both. Ergo, the games both compete for that space. 

Yes, Comparison will be there but my point is the characters. Why the need to compare it with Smash? Like I mentioned this game will be geared towards PS fan in general that will easily recognize the characters like N. Drake, Kratos, Knack, Hunter From BB, Aloy and ETC. 

As for your 2nd sentence yes it can be isolated. There is a lot of people that owns only one platform. If you are mostly likely a PS fan you will go for PS platforms than Ninty and that is what Sony is targeting if ever the game exist they will not try to steal someone who loves Smash for Mario and Link or even Pokemon. They will target that gamer that loves a brawler within their fans that also love the PS characters. 

Bottom line is so what if PASBR will not outsell Smash if the numbers are respectable and a success then they can cultivate the game to someday be successful as Smash.
