I've put up this thread so we can all explain why we like or dislike clones, along with discussing clone characters in general and individually (Specific characters).
What is a clone character?
"A clone is a character with a moveset and physics that are considerably similar to another character's. Often, the clone's moveset will have a few tweaks made, and may have their physics altered to a degree, but on the whole the characters are similar and typically have the same special move mechanics, to such a degree that both characters can be played successfully using a very similar or even identical play style."
"Semi-clone is a term used as for characters who share some of their moveset with another character, with some similarity in physics, but have enough differentiating moves and characteristics that calling them a "clone" wouldn't be entirely accurate. "Semi-clone" status can differ among player's minds depending on their basis of the term; for example, one basis for dubbing a character a semi-clone would be their differences in Special moves from whichever character they are clones from. This process of a clone breaking away from its roots and establishing its own identity as it divergently evolves is known in the Smash community as Luigification, named after how Luigi originally was a clone of Mario but eventually came into his own in both the Super Mario and Smash Bros. series." - Smash Wiki.
What do you think of clone characters?
I personally like them because they add to the roster, generally play and feel different, and are quick and easy to develop (Which is why I want Pichu and Young Link to come back as Smash 4 DLC).
Note
Also, please don't flame others for dissagreeing with you. I'd like discussion to be civil here.
