Something that’s been bothering me about Clash of Super Heroes is how it handles clones. Roll is the moveset clone who isn’t just a glorified palette swap with moveset difference. Even Lilith, who even appears in some of Morrigan’s attacks, is just a palette swap of Morrigan as a playable character (though I will admit, the cutscenes explaining why are hilarious).
I know dev time and resources are, unlike the Stones, finite (along with copyright being “no-fun allowed” like always, which was the reason War Machine made it over Iron Man), but I still feel like if those weren’t issues, Clash of Super Heroes should’ve done more with the clones. Probably something like:
1. Carnage (clone of Venom with some of Spidey’s moves, namely a Maximum Spider reskin dubbed “Maximum Carnage “)
2. Roll (clone of Mega Man)
3. The Thing (clone of Hulk)
4. Shadow Lady (clone of Chun-Li)
5. War Machine (clone of Iron Man, assuming there was no copyright nonsense involved and Iron Man was a character playable from the start)
6. Lilith (all you’d need to do is lift her moveset and animations right out of Vampire Savior, Showtime super and all; they already have it to re-use, so in my mind why not just go all the way?)
And on a side note, I’d add Magneto to the Marvel side (since Clash of Super Heroes was based on the Onslaught storyline) for an even 16 starting characters and 6 hidden characters.
