There are 'strict' echo fighters like Daisy or Richter that share pretty much everything with their base character, apart from some animations or properties. But then there are loose echo fighters like Chrom or Ken that can have completely different special moves, including their Final Smash. I wanted to start a thread focused on ideas of 'loose' echo fighters that are based on an existing fighter but have one or two unique specials. Maybe they can be slightly different sizes too (Lucina and Daisy are shorter than Marth and Peach).
- Dixie Kong - starting off with the obvious choice, Dixie would play like Diddy but her Up B is more like Spinning Kong where she twirls her hair. She shoots bubblegum instead of peanuts. Her Final Smash would be replaced as well, maybe playing her guitar or something.
- Tails - another obvious choice, Tails is slightly shorter than Sonic and instead of Spring Jump he flies with his tails, like the Up B of Villager and Isabelle. If one more change is allowed, Neutral B fires a laser gun I guess.
- Birdo - Birdo plays just like Yoshi, except instead of Neutral B being Egg Lay, she sucks in opponents like Dedede or King K. Rool do, and then shoots them back out. She still throws eggs and does the egg roll, but they are pink spotted just like in Mario Kart Double Dash!!
- Tetra - Tetra wields a scimitar instead of a sword, and does not hold a shield. The rest of her moves are the same, except she fires a pistol instead of a bow. If you wanted to get crazy she could use the grapple hook instead of the spin attack, which would work like any other grapple recovery. Same Final Smash.
- Twili Midna - Twili Midna is slightly taller than Zelda. For this echo fighter, imagine a complete visual overhaul with twilight effects, similar to Dark Samus for Samus. When she teleports with Up B, it has that twilight portal effect, and Neutral B looks like the crystal that encased Hyrule Castle in TP. Instead of Din's Fire, Midna sends out a Sol that explodes in a burst of light. The main difference is that instead of sending out a phantom soldier for her Down B, she sends out the mechanical twilight hand from the Mirror of Twilight, and it's always in its full form. Her Final Smash pulls people into the Mirror of Twilight where she banishes them, and functions the same as Zelda's FS.
- Funky Kong - Besides having funkier animations, Funky Kong's Up B sees him jump on his surfboard and catch some waves, much like Squirtle's Up B. Otherwise he's the same.
- Raichu - Raichu's tail and larger size give it much greater reach on some of its moves. Normally this would disqualify it from being an echo fighter, but not on my list! Has an Alolan Raichu alt.
- Celica - Celica's sword is longer, but does not switch between the bronze sword and levin sword. Instead of Nosferatu, Celica uses Recover, which is unique in that it can only affect an allied fighter rather than an enemy, but it restores a great amount of damage. This makes her a great ally in team battles.
- Callie/Marie - I know everyone pegs the Octolings for this one, but after the Mii costumes I really want Callie and Marie to be playable. Callie and Marie are alts of each other, and their ink color is pink or green. Since Marie likes chargers, this replaces the splattershot for the neutral B (Callie already prefers rollers, so that's good to stay). The splat bomb could also be changed to any of the other bombs in Splatoon, like the suction bomb or burst bomb. Their Final Smash calls the other Squid Sister to them and they perform a show (kinda like the assist trophy) except it actually damages fighters...somehow.
That's all I've got for now
