I understand wholeheartedly, for those of you who worry I use too many assets made by either Nintendo or the Ultimate dev team. So I want to make a few clarifications right now.
1) The results stage, as well as Battlefield and the announcer voice clips, those assets are placeholders. The game WILL BE GETTING new assets for both the mentioned locales, AND I will be recording brand-new announcer calls in my own style. Right now, it's low-priority as I am merely setting things up to make sure it works perfectly. So you can rest easy in that regard.
2) The victory themes, I am 95% certain of, I will be re-arranging new ones. Right now, I am on the fence, as I'm just testing. But I will need to do new ones for some of the new fighters anyway, so I might as well.
3) The camera animations for the victory poses will be brand new. I am not using Ultimate's.
4) That is one of the reasons Mario has new animations for some actions. For him especially, I didn't want to do a 1:1 port.
5) Some veterans will receive new models/animations/movesets/etc. ONE returning fighter in particular, who I can't name at the moment, will be COMPLETELY overhauled and redesigned from their official Smash counterparts.
6) While some aspects will be like Ultimate's, I am making changes galore in general. While I think Ultimate is the best Smash game, especially gameplay-wise, the game is nowhere near perfect or ideal.
7) Even the MENUS will be totally new.
So in general, I'm sure eventually those fears and worries will dissipate. I'm not worried. :)
