reddit.comThe fellow is correct, Smash 3ds and Wii U were viewed as 4 and 5 internally.
While for development purposes it makes complete sense, but for the fans playing the games? It's irrelevant, and would only add confusion. When it comes to the topics of discussion around Smash WiiU/3ds (the characters, stages, game balance) there are either no differences/or people are only referring to the Wii U version.
Basically "yeah he's correct but nobody cares and you know what we mean".

Hes not even technically correct because theyre clearly the samw game at retail, just because they're labled something internally for conveneince doesnt make them different games

Where does he say they are the fourth and fifth entries? He says 4th and 5th version.
I mean this level of pedantry isn't a good look on anybody right?

He's not wrong at all though. They are different versions of the same game, it's really not pedantic.

The WiiU version is clearly the Championship Edition.

Do we have the answer in the original Japanese?

Man, those hyper-accelerated knockbacks still look like dogshit.

and makes it hard to combo

I think it's terrible for judging how fucked you are from an attack. Makes it feel more like a guessing game when you get a 100%-strength speed knockback at 10%.

yeah it's impossible to tell if you're going to die or not at around100

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesnt the "kill lightning" tell you when your fucked?

A little background:
This video is from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the next in the lauded Super Smash Bros series.
The series began with Super Smash Bros. on the N64, followed by Super Smash Bros. Melee on the Gamecube and Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii..
The fourth entry in the series came out on two systems: Super Smash Bros. for 3DS (a terrible title, but note the wordplay with for/four) in October of 2014 and Super Smash Bros. for WiiU in late November 2014.
The argument here apparently stems from a translated interview OP finds where "versions" are brought up. This allegedly means Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is Smash Bros. 4 while Super Smash Bros. for WiiU is revealed to actually be Smash Bros. 5! Which makes Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Smash Bros. 6!
Some fans of the series disagree with that interpretation and OP starts tYpInG LiKe tHiS to mock them. It's over quicker than a two-stock, but it was fun while it lasted.
I like people like you who make these little posts giving context. Sometimes the drama is good but I have no idea what's going on.
I think the creator of Smash Bros, Masahiro Sakurai, states that the 3DS and Wii U games are the fourth and fifth games respectively, while Ultimate is the sixth game. That makes sense seeing as how the 3DS and Wii U games can be considered two different games. However, I consider them two versions of one game since the roster's the same on both and they have the exact same mechanics.
So, the dude's not wrong on Ultimate being the sixth game, but most of us refer to the 3DS and Wii U games as Smash 4 'cause of what I mentioned.
