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...

You'd be wrong then. The term was made because they're defined entirely differently and functions in different ways. The fact Sakurai outright said they have their own unique rules means they couldn't be like the regular clones(and to be fair? He doesn't actually use the word Clone. He uses...

If they have to be sized up, they can't be Echoes, heh. But yeah, they could be interesting ones. Ganondorf's mostly an odd one cause for the most part in Melee, he isn't that different from how Falcon is, it's just more of a power and a speed thing with a few changed moves. It depends how much...

You're missing the point of Ness. The point is Clones are not Echoes. Model Swap Fighters does not only include Clones either. Echoes are extremely specific kind of Model Swap Fighters that work as different rules, including hard ones that doesn't apply otherwise. A Model Swap Fighter is the...

Except we did. They have to have the same bodyshape, period. If the animations can't work out because of that, they literally are ineligible. They can still have some different ones to a degree, but it can't be so massive that it doesn't work out(and if the entire bodyshape in compromised by...

Let's save time since people misunderstand why Echo Fighters are not something easy to slap a character into; Their bodyshape must be the same with barely a millimeter of difference once chosen. You cannot just simply "reproportion them". Lucina only worked because she was already...

She doesn't. She's a similar character, but was always a bit different. Basically, she can use the same bodyframe, but her differences are far more than minor heights. Also, as you noted, Bass is a bit awkward too. So he might not be possible actually. Proto Man definitely is. You are aware...

Roll actually isn't the same bodyshape as the others. She cannot be an echo. It's clone or higher within this factor. Uh, no. It's not simply the UI. It literally is saying "they share the same number", period. They have to entirely change the Echo system to make that work. And it's already...

Fire Emblem has never gotten two Echoes to a character. So that doesn't work. Echoes are the exact same number as their original. It's designed to be "one per character only". You can't get more than one because it doesn't work within the naming scheme/designs. That's why we still get regular...

Do remember that DLC is not a thing from the start. Characters are going to be already prepared for base. One isn't going to already be planned for DLC. The only way one will make it as DLC is if the negotiations take so long while trying to come up with base that it doesn't finish until DLC is...

Chrono Trigger definitely had a pretty big impact, to be fair. The issue, not unlike what I say below, is that despite being quite a big game for its time, it didn't really continue as a franchise. It got a sequel that wasn't nearly as popular, and then a remake way later. Ironically, KI...
