While it is possible to cheese it with multipliers, it just makes more sense to make Metal Mario a regular clone anyway. Assuming Weight is even something important to an Echo, anyway. But I can imagine Metal Mario having enough differences that beyond that that his style could be kind of a...

They aren't the same Heaviness. That's two different things. I didn't mean weight. I'm talking about how Dr. Mario moves overall slower and has less mobility. A heavy style. Apologies for the confusion. (Also, they have at one point had different weights, heh). More akin to this factor; "Dr...

Anyway, I don't have an "Elite 4" personally. There's all kinds of characters I want. Brian from Quest 64 is always the highest one, but beyond that, nobody is a pure standout. And yeah, what made Ridley awesome to me is while it's kind of hard to do exact animations at times, making their...

But that's not what I was getting at. It's that, due to it having an advertising effect, choices are being made that meshes much better with the actual product and helps the business side of things, while obviously not being only that. We still get many characters who aren't active at all, and...

...To be fair, both can. It's more that Echoes have shown to usually gravitate towards "barely different" at the moment. However, that's just one way they're done(a poor way, imo). It's all over the place, and it's really only three out of seven that does. And one is basically a semi-clone in...

When it comes to recency picks, they actually make sense beyond "yeah, they're recent." The thing is? Smash is an absolute advertisement. What does that also mean? A lot of newcomers will make people interested in their series. How does that matter? It means that if you want to play as the...

Let me say as someone who is a Ganondorf main; yes, I did have some trouble adjusting to him in Ultimate. The Swords were fine, though less satisfying. They're cool, but his Up Smash in Brawl/4 felt like you were hitting someone and shattering that area of the body, which made it felt highly...

To be fair, TP Link also had a similar issue. The Boomerang working the way it did actually did start to cause issues. Same with Ganondorf suddenly being really damn slow and all. Zelda and Sheik were the only two to be relatively the same at the time. On the other hand, TP Link was much easier...

For clones and echoes; Metal Mario(of regular Mario. But only if Weight isn't an actual rule we don't know about. Otherwise, it'd be of the heavier Dr. Mario instead. Albeit, that works better anyway. Even if just a clone over an Echo to help justify the bigger attribute differences. Plus, he...

That makes sense. Smash is the only modern game to heavily have clones. Though don't forget it was actually about heavy Model Reusage. Every single cut I noted was due to taking assets from other fighters to show how much of a terrible idea trying to avoid the concept is. Clones are born from...

To save time; Chrom doesn't use any of Marth's actual assets. The rare times he share a move or animation, it's solely because Roy has it. It's a Roy animation he was solely retooled from with the exception of Aether, respectively. That's the only one taken from Ike. Chrom specifically cannot...

To close, Model Swap Fighter, with our details, is yes, the way he did things in Smash 64. It's just only hard confirmed that he treated Luigi as one by the time of Melee, but it doesn't mean he used the specific term in 64(thank you for correcting me on that), but it's just a retroactive thing...

I'll take Sector Z over Corneria this time. Seriously, give the classic larger stage a chance to shine. And no, they don't operate the same. Corneria is meant to be an evolution of the stage, but its size is way too small and it kind of ruins the atmosphere(okay, it has a very different...

I'm just glad we're getting them reasonably en masse. Killer Instinct was grand, though I'm still hoping we get the Game Boy game and eventually KI Gold. I won't ever get the ones I want the most(and I am still disappointed in them releasing the versions of the Oracle Zelda games without the...

Huh, cut the clones. Oh, look, we get barely any newcomers within the franchise since it's cut almost in half. Strange. Oh, wait, every fighting game and even other games add them because it's ten times smarter to reuse assets anyway. Also, notably, removing those clones doesn't get us...
