• What's all the current pre-order dlc/bonuses/limited exclusives ect??
  
  The only bonus as of right now is Piranha Plant as a playable character. All you need to do is pre-order or get the game and register it before Jan 31st to get it free. It should be released early next year.
  
  There's the Fighter Pass, which is SMash's season pass for $25. It include 5 unannounced characters and stages (along with music for those stages). They are expected to all have been released by Feb 2020. Each individual pack would cost $6. If you get the pack, you will receive and exclusive Rex (Xenoblade Chronicles 2) outfit for mii fighters.
  
  There are a few bundles, though you will probably have to pay above retail for them now. Thankfully, you can buy all the important things that come with those bundles separately at basically the same price.
  
  Right now, there is a Smash themed Switch Bundle [link]](https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Super-Smash-Bros-Ultimate/dp/B07HCTJC91/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541514204&sr=8-1&keywords=smash+switch+bundle) - A switch, a digital version of Smash Bros Ultimate, smash bros themed joycons and dock.
  
  Smash Bros. Ultimate Special Edition Link - Physical copy of Smash Bros with Steelbook and a Smash themed Switch Pro Controller
  
  Finally, Smash Bros. Ultimate Limited edition - Comes with physical game, a Gamecube Controller and the adapter.
  
  
• Should I play this with a GC controller or a switch pro controller? Probably prefer GC since I've played melee as a kid.
  
  I prefer the GCN controller myself, and generally they play with them at the pro level. The Gamecube adapter and controllers were released a few days ago, so you can get those now. Adapters are 20, controllers are 30 a piece. If you have old GCN controller around, they will work as well.
  
  I would recommend getting a Switch Pro if you plan to get other Switch games, it is really a great controller. There's a smash themed Pro controller that you can still get link it's only $5 more than a regular pro controller. Aside from aesthetics, it works exactly the same as other pro controllers.
  
  
• I don't own a switch nor do I know how it works. Do I have to connect to a tv? If I don't connect to a tv can I still play on the switch screen with a gc controller or does the screen only work with joy cons attached?
  
  Switch works but in portable mode and connected to a TV. It also has a stand on the back so you can play it on what is referred to tabletop mode. Even in portable mode, you can use any controller. In the case of GCN controllers, the adapter connects to the dock so you can't do it natively. The Switch itself only has a USB-C. I assume that you can get an USB-C adapter to be able to connect the GCN Adapter but I haven't tried it myself.
  
  Could I use my laptops screen it has a full size hdmi port? (Dell G7 15)
  
  I don't know much about this, but HDMI ports in laptops are usually just HDMI out, so I would assume it won't work. If you can connect anything else there and display it on screen (another console, blu ray player, etc) I don't see why it wouldn't work.
  
  
• Thanks for reading and helping me. December is the release date? Plan to pre order with my next paycheck.
  
  Dec 7 is release date. You can pre-order the digital game and fighter pass directly from Nintendo right now.
  
  
• I'm a sword player and probably going to pick up a Fire Emblem sword user or Cloud. Which is the easiest to get into? Can someone rank the sword users for me from best to worst? I really like Marth because of M2K and Zain. He's so flashy and fun to watch someone getting pivot tippered or Ken combo'd. God Marth is so awesome. Atleast in Melee.
  
  I'm not into the competitive scene so I don't know anythign about tiers and rankings, but I do enjoy sword fighters. Marth is still fun and probably the easiest to learn, though he is not as good as he used to be in Melee. Lucina is his echo and the main differences are that she is a bit faster and her sword doesnt have more power in the tip.
  
  Other than that, it depends on your fight style. Link and Toon Link are versatile, Ike is slow but powerful (think Bowser/Ganondorf), Roy plays fairly differently from Marth this time around and not as enjoyable imo.
  
  My personal rankings from those in Smash 4 are - Ike, Marth, Toon Link, Lucina, Cloud, Link, Roy, Mii Fighter
  Corrin and Shulk are technically sword fighters, but they stab rather than swing for smash attacks so they feel a bit different. Shulk is probably the hardest one to learn out of all these, because his neutral B basically boost different categories. Corrin has great range and a solid counter, but again, doesn't really feel like a sword fighter to me.

If the themes one is a Nintendo brand controller, just the graphical design.

(Like this or this)

If it's not Nintendo branded, then any number of things, weight, construction, nfc, hd rumble, wired, d-pad anything might be different.

Unfortunately some of these also have the red corner trade dress on the box, but should always have a third party brand logo somewhere on the front and say something like "licensed from Nintendo" somewhere.
