Smash 5 is not a port, it's a brand new game. It will be slower than Melee, but faster than Smash 4. Airdashing works just like in Smash 4. Moves stale harder and kill percents are the same as in Smash 4. Rage also returns. Hitstun is the same as in Smash 4.
All the characters within Smash 4 sans Pac-Man, and Cloud return. Geralt is the only new guest character this time around. Other newcomers are Decidueye, Inklings (the genders are swappable like Robin/Corrin), Rex/Pyra, Waluigi, Chrom, Geno, Saki Amamiya, and finally, King K Rool. Ridley still isn't a playable character, as Sakurai was firmly against the idea. Wolf and Ice Climbers also finally return. Zelda and Link are based off of their BOTW looks, but their movesets are the same. Cappy is not present in Mario's moveset at all, though his eyes appear in an alt costume. Fox, Falco, and Wolf have their ZERO costumes. Krystal was considered at one point in development, but dropped. Waluigi was added due to a request from Miyamoto. His moveset is based off of the spin off Mario games. He has a bombomb in one of his special moves. Geno was added due to fan demand. Saki is the retro rep this time around. Geralt is in due to a request from CDProjekt Red themselves. Rex was added because Nintendo wanted a character from a switch exclusive game and Sakurai was on board with the idea. K.Rool was added due to fan demand over Ridley, and has a purple color similar to Ridley. K Rool's moveset has references to his DKC boss fights. Ice Climbers can no longer be desynced, and Wolf has his moveset from Brawl. Master Fortress doesn't return, but in its place is an adventure mode based on Melee's adventure mode. Smash Run returns.
This is all the info my insider could provide me. He couldn't provide any details on DLC as the team isn't even working on DLC. He's risking his job for this. Do with this info what you will.

Shut the fuck up.

William Kelly
Why do fake leakers pretend to have insight into sakurai's personal feelings and decisions regarding character choice? Why would anyone high up enough to know these things leak info on Sup Forums?

Christopher Gutierrez
The cycle begins anew.
Sebastian Baker

Nicholas Perez
Is this your first Smash release?
Ayden Sullivan
In 10 months it’ll be 2019 and the game is releasing in 2018. Dumb nigger
Mason Johnson
>Waluigi was added due to a request from Miyamoto kys
Nicholas Martinez
>No Bomberman
Sorry guys this leak is fake, my leak told me Bomberman would be one of the special characters.
Owen Thompson
Still true since Smash games get DLC now. Leak fakes won't stop even once the game gets released.
Cooper Ramirez
a VERY reliable source has leaked to me that 2B and 9S will be added as a pair similarly to the ice climbers
Wyatt Clark
Why don't they never even bother making fake graphics at least? You've got mods that can add characters like the Ice Climbers in Smash 4, just take those and polish them up/create your own, change GUI/HUD elements, alter physics subtly so people will notice evidence that it is "real", and "leak" your videos of the game if you actually want to convince anyone. Or is that too much effort to expect out of people?
Ethan Cook
I'll never understand the point of these threads, you spend 10 minutes writing all that shit only to get called a faggot by everyone? Is it so fun?
Hudson Bennett
An anonymous source with a very reliable reputation has informed me that Pikachu will make an appearance in Smash.
