I seem to remember Sakurai saying that this would be the last one. I guess he either doesn’t have much of a say or that it made too much money to pass up on another….
Sakurai and Hayo Miyazaki drunk betting who will retire first
Maybe this is a hot take, but I really wish we could just let things die. Smash Ultimate works quite well as the finale the series deserves. I could see maybe 20 or 30 years down the line they do a ressurection with some sort of spiritual successor. But I’m against seeing another smash anytime soon. There are a lot of franchises that I think should adopt this mindset, it’s not just smash.
Edit: I also think in the interim developers could work on long dead franchises like how Destiny is bringing back Marathon.
Idk that makes sense for like story driven games where things have a definite ending. For a fighting game I don’t really care if they keep pumping them out since it’s not like detracting from anything major. People just want to play as like slippy or geno or something. People will just keep playing the good ones, like how melee has survived.
I think it’s quite fair to argue melee or brawl being the finale.
New gamers start every day. They want to play these games. Especially something like ssb. 20-30 years is too long to wait for another game.

Just because a sequel has fewer characters doesn’t make it an inferior game. By that logic, Mortal Kombat Armageddon was the best Mortal Kombat.
