Here's a fun speculation game.
Nintendo announces an
Echoes Pass for Smash Bros. Ultimate! For $14.99 you get 5 echo fighters/semi-clones of existing Fighters. What five characters would you want to see and who would they be echoes of?
For me, I'd like to see:
- Celica - echo of Robin without durability mechanic
- Standard and Smash attacks are with Beloved Zofia, attacks do damage between Levin and Bronze Sword
- Special Attacks conduct self-harm instead of using durability. With this standard attacks using magic are changed to remove the book and deal small self-damage. In return they do more damage.
- Black Shadow - echo of Captain Falcon using dark elemental attacks instead of fire
- Dixie Kong - echo of Diddy Kong with some specials changed
- Recovery becomes Hair Helicopter (Similar to Duck Hunt Dog's)
- Standard Special becomes Hair Whip (Similar to Piranha Plant's Standard Special but less ridiculous)
- Octoling - echo of Inkling, mainly cosmetic like Simon and Richter
- Bass - echo of Megaman, uses different special weapons with different elemental effects, centers more around darkness
- Standard Special: Shadow Blade
- Recovery: Treble Adapter (Similar to R.O.B.'s recovery)
- Side Special: Napalm Bomb
- Down Special: Skull Barrier
Ironically, while doing my top 15 characters for DLC, I purposely included 5 characters that could be echoes:
* means that these are hypothetical echoes for characters I want that are not in the game yet.
-These are ranked
1. T-elos as an echo of KOS-MOS*
2. Anna (Fire Emblem Heroes) as an echo of Edelgard*
3. Impa as an echo of Sheik
4. Dry Bowser as an echo of Bowser
5. Medusa as an echo of Palutena
Ignoring the 2 hypothetical echoes, I'd also be cool w/:
6. Octoling as an echo of Inkling
7. Hilda has an echo of Zelda (I guess)
I would've included Shadow here, but I highly doubt we're getting Assist upgrades through DLC. He'd definitely be on the list if he wasn't an Assist (probably in spot 4 or 5).
