Does anyone still think smash ultimate is a port?

thats false. they openly admitted that a great deal of SSB4's code was used to make Ultimate as a way to save development time. they then tweaked the game and reworked assets from there

Yes, and them having begun work with Smash 4 as a foundation rather than from scratch is the reason why we're ending up with such an amazing game. Just because they didn't start from scratch doesn't mean it's a port though, as it features new modes, new characters, new stages, new items, new assist trophies, new assets, new moves, and new mechanics, along with loads of tweaks and major changes to existing assets and mechanics and characters etc.

But this should go without saying.

i never said it was a port. there is no denying it anymore that its a new game. it just reused a lot of code to save production time
