When it comes to semi-echoes, there are three general patterns I can see:
I personally don't get it, since having semi-echoes that share normals but not specials would be one of the best ways of creating the illusion of unique characters without doing too much animation work; they would only need to fully animate four moves as opposed to the jab, tilts, Smashes, airs, grab, and throws. Besides, normals aside from Smashes aren't particularly unique; most would admit that specials help more in appearing (not necessarily being) unique as they are "specials" after all.
I guess Jigglypuff in 64 was one of Kirby, but that ship has sailed, and now we're left with no semi-echoes that mainly share normals but not specials.
