Taking inspiration from other characters?

So I was wondering, which characters can benefit from looking at other character's playstyle? I feel like Fox playing like Puff is the most common instance of this, where Fox focuses more on spacing aerials and exchanges rest for usmash (?) and less focus on lasers and 20XX shine shenanigans. The most recent occurrence of Jiggilyfox is of course Hfox at CEO, which is probably the most Puff Fox I've ever seen. The question is, is this a half-baked hybrid fit as a counter in a pinch or a legitimate path for Fox in contrast to the eternal search for tech skill frame perfection? And does it apply to other characters in ways we haven't seen yet?

Skill overlaps between characters, but it's not 100%. 100% overlap is preferable. Don't change characters. Maximize what the the character is capable of doing by doing what it can do, not what other characters can do
