I'm not saying that this will happen, but if it did, what Samus clones could there be? Not counting the other bounty hunters from Prime Hunters, considering they perform EXACTLY like Samus in multiplayer mode, I can only think of two possible Samus clones. Samus in her Fusion Suit from Fusion, and Samus in the PED Suit from Prime 3. The first reason I think this way is because IF(and that's a big if) Dark Samus gets into Smash 4, she has plenty of unique moves and properties to her character like being able to fly, make clones of her self and using a Phazon shield as a dash attack AND to deflect projectiles, that Dark Samus could easily be her own character with a unique moveset. The second reason I think this, is because Samus' Fusion suit and PED suit work differently than Samus' classic suit does. With the Fusion Suit it isn't as noticeable when compared to the PED Suit. With the Fusion Suit, Samus taking more damage(before the end of Fusion anyway, since Samus gets her armor back from the SA-X in a sense and the Ice Beam), Samus having the "Metroid Teeth on her left arm that are retractable when she's jumping around and for melee combat, having Super/Ice/Diffusion Missiles and a charge beam that does more damage at close range, just to name a few. The Fusion Suit seems the closest to being a "true" clone character in my eyes. The Fusion Suit is pretty close to the Classic Suit, but has enough differences to be its own separate thing, you know what I mean? The PED Suit on the other hand, has plenty of differences. PED has the Grapple Lasso, Drain and Swing that could change how her grapple works completely, not to mention her Grapple extends, connects to an enemy, and then retracts almost instantly, so Samus doesn't stand there wide open like an idiot(which is how I want Samus' grapple to work, or at least be more similar to in Smash 4 anyway, but that's beside the point). PED can also use Hyper Mode as a Final Smash, and just the fact of how Samus controls in Prime 3. Samus seems less mobile than she does in 2D and therefore feels much heavier, although not necessarily slower attack and movement speed, but take that for what you will. PED also has different weapons and older powers, like the Screw Attack, function differently in the Prime games compared to 2D. For the Fusion Suit it could be just changing how some of Samus' current moves work and altering a few of her current ones(for Christ's sake, change her Up Smash! That thing doesn't do jack ****!). The PED Suit might not classify as a clone because of how Samus controls in the Prime games and how some of her abilities and power ups work. Of the Samus clones that could be made, however, those are the ones I see as the most likely to work. If the Fusion and or PED Suit are not clone characters, I'd at least like for one of them to be an alternate character skin like Wario had in Brawl. What do the rest of you think about this idea?
