Chunky Kong will be an Assist Trophy. Don't you remember him at Smash-Fest?
Lanky isn't happening, as much as I would absolutely love his inclusion.

Especially since the Tingle AT wasn't in Ultimate, so his slamming the ground and showering the stage in bananas could essentially replicate Tingle's old ability to make the stage slippery and force players to trip constantly lol
"I saw Chunky Kong at Smashfest" should be referenced somehow.
You don't seem to understand what I said. Or maybe I worded it poorly.Ignoring the rest because I don't feel like arguing the same bull**** over and over, so I'll just address this specifically.
The whole "DIXIE HAS A FIFTH LIMB" thing is laughable.
Do you know who else has a fifth limb?
Diddy.

His tail is a fifth limb. The only thing "special" about Dixie is that her limb is on the back of her head instead of her ass.
And lookie here, there's an example of someone with a fifth limb on their model but barely using it (and even LESS in Ultimate). Guess we got some bad game design right here!
Honestly, the more the subject of Dixie comes up and how people are quick to overhype how special she is and downplay anyone else, the more I grow to legit despise her.
I think we already went over why that doesn't matter.
Yeah but like, it's still hair. A player isn't going to automatically assume it's prehensile. You'd definitely have to pay attention to it's animation because it needs to compliment them, but it doesn't inherently need to do anything in particular. Honestly if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that Banjo & Kazzoie not being good at boxing despite Banjo being built like a 4x4 feels weirder than something like this would. It also wouldn't be that difficult to show off its functionality as an easter egg if that's all that could be afforded as an Echo Fighter, particularly in her animations for grabbing opponents and holding heavy items, as these animations wouldn't affect functionality all that much. The big question is whether or not the requirement of new hair animations disqualifies her, and I think it's a bit to big of an edge case to answer since it's an addition rather than a change in proportion.
I'd also say that Giant Punch is generic enough to fit on most characters that punch. Beyond that though, you could change the animation slightly to have him overzealously throw out the Hang 10 hand sign.
I kinda agree with this, except I'd prefer Dixie.
It'd probably be worse since Luigi definitely has different body proportions than Mario on top of "but what about the Poltergust?"
If people have any slightly reasonable excuse to pin someone as an echo, they'll do it.
I dunno. I think standing upright would mean the skeleton would have to be super different. Echoes all use the same skeleton. Funky standing upright with DK's skeleton with be enormous. You'd have to redo proportions and at that point you'd have an Isabelle situation.
Without a doubt if somehow Luigi wasn't in the game by now, people would be heavily arguing in favor of him being an Echo due to his similarities to Mario. He's lucky he'd been in the series since the beginning in that regard.
Ken debuted in SF1, he was how the game handled 2-player fights.
Oh okay so I was right, he was basically just "DK but better" in Tropical Freeze. So the idea of Funky being an Echo has some ground, going off his only (I think?) playable role in a platformer.
Oh whoops, forgot about him lol.
) or are they "X fighter, but with a twist" ()?
This is a generalization. I will say that some people tend to overextend the limits of the echo label, but it's not always mal-intentioned. I know it ain't mal-intentioned on my part, because all my favorites are in the game already. They could add anyone and I wouldn't care because I've got my girlies.
I already showcased why that doesn't matter. Funky doesn't stand tall, he stands on two legs but still hunched over. Funky and DK's heights while in their idle stances are almost the same in Tropical Freeze. He can fit. Don't use the idle as an argument.
This is kinda false. Peach has much longer hair than Daisy but the skeleton works just fine. They just removed the bones below the shoulders for Daisy, and that's that.
My thinking is more: I would like them, they would not get added in as a full character, they could potentially work as an Echo Fighter, so therefore they should be an Echo Fighter.
Keeping in mind that I generally only entertain the X fighter with a twist idea of Echo Fighters:
, but not , and it'd need a new down special, so I wouldn't hold my breath on that.
Outside of the Toad Guard, this actually is a more retroactive thing.
Oh don't even get me started on the custom moves. Those would have been perfect for Daisy, or Lakitu, or whoever could have been a Mega Man echo
Lakitu as a Mega Man Echo?
Sakurai saw that Ganondorf was a popular character despite being a clone of a character from a difference franchise.
The only thing I can imagine happened here is a tragic auto-correct accident while typing Lucina. If it's not that, I'm at a loss lol
I suppose I walked into that one lol. No, I should have said Lakitu as a Bowser Jr. echo
Somehow, it made more sense than his initial pitch of adding King K. Rool as a Jigglypuff clone.
Super Fighting Turtle.
That was more me not reading correctly. Still, the image is now there.
