The superhump profile shows no signs of a double-waved pattern, and I could not detect early superhumps in my data. Yet, the large outburst amplitude of ~7.4 mag, and the long time for superhumps to develop (approx. 9 days) make this a very likely WZ Sge-type dwarf nova.
It would be worth noting that the period 0.065 d is long for a WZ Sge star. If this is indeed a WZ Sge star, it must be a period bouncer. Period bouncers tend to have smaller amplitudes of ordinary superhumps and 0.14 mag seems to be a bit large. I would propose to assign the WZ Sge classification after confirmation of a small Pdot and/or rebrightenings.
