Sorry for the double post!
it's possible sure, but the time coding that in could be used to make a more useful move (like the teleport), and if that can't be done out of some arbitrary rule, it kinda feels like doing shadow would be a waste of time, not even mentioning time spent on other things like licencing, checking if every animation is approved by sega etc
If Shadow has Chaos Control as an Up-B move, then he's no longer Sonic's echo in my book, even if Chaos Control were to have the same effect as Sonic's Spring Jump.
I think most people think a gardevoir echo would be a zelda echo. I think a mewtwo echo works better, you'd just have to give some of her attacks different animations, but similar hitboxes i guess?
Down b is hypnosis, not disable and puts the opponent to sleep. Side b is Psychic/Dream eater. If used on a non-sleeping opponent is just shoves them away. If used on sleeping opponent, it drains health! Up b would be teleport, but travels farther but is slightly slower. and Neutral B would be moonblast. It moves slower than shadowball, but is more powerful.
The thing is, Gardevoir's body structure fits Zelda more, so it's easier to make, with Mewtwo you basically need to redo every animation, which would be harder and therefore go against what echoes are made for, unless they start doing half echoes or something, being half Zelda echo and half Mewtwo echoI think most people think a gardevoir echo would be a zelda echo. I think a mewtwo echo works better, you'd just have to give some of her attacks different animations, but similar hitboxes i guess?
personally I like a mewtwo echo idea because of alternate special moves based on mewtwo's moveset
i have no idea how this would work out in practice, and it might make her awful. But eh.
that being said, I would prefer Gardevoir to be a unique fighter on the 00.01% chance she gets in ;')
. That's all that's really important to me i guess. 
This hasn't been established by Sakurai or anything, but so far each of the echoes are only echoing someone in their own series, clones didn't follow this but it's worth considering. If echoes do take the same slot as who they're based on, or if they're situated next to them, then you have to wonder where an echo from another series would go on the CSS.
Considering Ganondorf in melee, if a character is popular enough (remember Ganondorf was actually the most popular character in Japanese character polls) and they have a build like a character on the roster, it could happen
True, but I still think it's unlikely. Possible for sure, but I just think it would be kind of weird to see an unrelated character to being placed next to a base character on the website with the same number and everything.
Actually, melee did, the roster placed Ganondorf right next to Captian falcon, they did this for all the clones actually, also the roster in ultimate is sorted by those numbers so your gonna have stuff like what you said anyway
Ah, you got me there. I will say though that they don't call attention to it the same way they do with Echo Fighters, and the clones still aren't treated any differently from any other fighter. But to reiterate, I'm still skeptical, but I can agree that it's possible.
to be fair, there's a obvious big difference between something like Falcon and Ganon and then something like Giygas (Beginnings) and Mewtwo
If it makes sense for the character and they're similar enough, why not? Ganondorf was a different matter since he's such an iconic character with his own skillset to pull from the source material and they just slapped him on a slower Captain Falcon. Something like, I dunno, Dr. Eggman over Bowser Jr makes more sense since they both use flying mech pods and gadgets.
Normally, I'd talk down on this decision and say it's a stupid idea considering Ganondorf's moveset is fun on the character it's already on and very fitting as is...
My Ideal hope for a black shadow echo would just be: Melee Ganon But with the knee (maybe some buffs but you get the idea), Melee Ganon is the most viable and popular Ganon incarnation in smash so having it back would be pretty fun, and it mean for future games we can improve Ganon even more without worry of people missing the old playstyle
...I would miss Ganondorf being a puncher. Black Shadow would just be a painful reminder of what once was if Ganondorf is "improved." As I said, I'm missing the old Smashes already.
This would be kinda cool, but an Echo for the PKMN Trainer would need three Pokemon that can match Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard's movesets almost one to one, not the Trainer himself. And since Squirtle and Ivysaur's moves are pretty tailored to their specific bodies (Squirtle having moves that have him withdraw in his shell, Ivysaur using moves that involve spinning his leaves around, etc), I don't think there are any Pokemon that could be an easy Echo for them. And while Charizard's moves are slightly more basic as a fire breathing dragon, I don't think there are any other draconic Pokemon that matches its body perfectly... other than technically Mega Charizard X I guess.
That would require a change of down special though which echoes can't have, plus echoes are supposed to generally play the same, removing 2 whole characters from their moveset would be a massive change
well, Again the number counts all Pokemon as separate, so a echo of Zard (35 ε) would only need to play similar to Zard? Does switching even count to Zard's moveset?, guess?, it's kinda confusing
For the sake of Argument, In Zard's case, Just putting Rock Smash as the Down B should still Qualify it as an Echo of Fighter 35. Just my 2 cents.
...Gardevoir is no Ganondorf.
I still say Snorlax would fit better, but he wouldn't have the multiple jumps, and be a super heavy weight instead.
While not super perfectly, Flygon matches Charizard's body reasonably well. While I don't think Flygon has a chance even as an echo, it might be a valid candidate as an echo fighter for Charizard.
I don't think Gardevoir would make a good echo, but I would hardly call it someone nobody cares about. It's hugely popular.
Blaziken isn't a nobody, he's the fire starter from Gen 3 and pretty popular, especially when the ballot was going on. He was among the first Pokken characters revealed, and got a Mega in X/Y (Before Sceptile and Swampert).
