    Just a little side note: Richter and Simon are echo fighters of the other, that is because the moveset that they have pulls moves from the game of Simon (castlevania II) and the games of Richter (castlevania Rondo of blod and castlevania simphony of the night), this doesn't change anything but is fun to think about it

    I think Ganon's biggest disappointment isn't his normals. Imo, his normal attacks and even up special being copied from Falcon is perfectly fine. It's the lack of unique special moves that's the problem, because Ganondorf is known for not just being a powerhouse physically, but also a powerful magician.

    Even before Smash Ultimate, clones are actually more of a pro for characters' chances to be in Smash since they're easier to develop compared to more original fighters. So it is baffling clones are so hated when even if you don't do those characters, it won't really increase other characters' chances of joining Smash & the fact that clones have been fighting game staples since the beginning (Ken literally being the OG clone fighter).
    It also especially helps that clone characters can essentially be legacy characters to allow their character counterparts to have more updated movesets (Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is the best example of that as a good bunch of characters in the roster like Miharu, Sebastian, & Michelle use older movesets of Xiaoyu, Lili, & Julia while the said latter have updated movesets), so Dr. Mario can basically be a legacy character to allow Mario to have more freedom for more updated moves (literally a lot prefer using Mario Tornado/Dr. Tornado over F.L.U.D.D. even to this day). Same for the Links & Pichu. Honestly, the Melee clones actually have warranted reasons to be in Smash, with Smash Ultimate even moreso than before.

    • @Baconator2558
      @Baconator2558 8 месяцев назад +4

      I'd say the exceptions are characters who had enough moveset potential that I'd rather wait for a later entry. I think they should've held off on Ganon until Brawl, because now he's forever tied to Falcon's moveset.

    • @saratoga6663
      @saratoga6663 Месяц назад

      Yeah it would be great if they actually had distinctions other than like 2 moves, ganon has slowly differed from falcon but all three links have the same specials with only minor differences and nearly the same move set over all, Mario hasn’t changed much outside of down b, Luigi has tho so that’s good. And there are 4 of marth in the game, we do not need 4 marths.

    @thunderd7904 8 месяцев назад +3

    Ngl, haven’t watched the whole vid yet, but Richter and Daisy are horrible clones. Richter’s only difference is that his holy water doesn’t have the fire property which matters in like 4 matchups and Daisy’s only difference is a minuscule difference in hurtbox size and idle animations. Even worse, Peach and Daisy used to have different turnips giving you a reason to actually prefer one over the other *and then Nintendo patched it out for literally no reason*.
    Some other gripes: Dark Samus only has a select few animation differences that, again, only matter in very specific situations. And the worst part? The assist trophy of it in Smash 4 had original moves that easily could’ve distinguished Samus and Dark Samus.
    Ganondorf doesn’t deserve to be a clone. He has literally 0 attachment to Falcon other than through Smash Bros and deserves an overhaul. Just give his current move set to Black Shadow if you want to spiritually keep the current version of Ganondorf in the game.
    The rest of the clones are fine enough, but the *seriously* missed the mark with Daisy and Richter.

    Ganondorf being a Falcon clone was literally ONLY fine in Melee, and it was because of development circumstances. Defenders of his Falcondorf moveset in following games are not proper Ganondorf fans. They should have reinvented Dorf from the ground up in Brawl. If you like Warlock Punch so goddamn much, then they should have just made Black Falcon a playable character and given him Melee Dorf's moveset.

      Simon and Richter do bother me because they are still just essentially color swaps. Even if they are combo of each other (And like not really. The only thing Richter brought to the table was the Up Special and the sliding Kick. And the Final Smash I guess.) they could had sprinkle in some differences.
      Like Dark Pit is literally a color swap in his own game with the same abilities as Pit and even he got property changes in two of his specials and a different Final Smash.

    I never viewed Pichu as a “joke character” in Melee, and I don’t think Sakurai ever explicitly referred to it as that. Pichu was confirmed to have been developed as the weakest fighter of the roster, but I don’t think “weak” and “joke” are mutually exclusive.
    Speaking casually, I think Pichu is very good in Melee. Competitive viability doesn’t determine everything about a character, but I think, even in the competitive setting, Pichu can still perform decently. Characters don’t need to be capable of winning a major in order to be worth something.
    Pichu is just as fast as Pikachu if not faster in some areas, and it being so small makes Pichu difficult to hit. Pichu’s attacks are actually deceptively powerful, and the self-damage gimmick isn’t that bad if you learn to properly balance usage between the electrical and physical moves. I think the self-damage gimmick is unique, because it gives Pichu more of an “advanced difficulty” feel. Novice players will dislike Pichu because of the self-damage, but skilled players who want a challenge can learn to master Pichu and work around its flaws.
    Hot take this may be, but I think Pichu is one of Smash’s best fighter inclusions. Most people will say “just choose Pikachu,” but I think there’s something special about Pichu’s fighter design that helps it stand out.

    Melee's clone characters are one of the very reasons I was interested to play Melee, back in the Brawl days, as a kid.
    While the main force was an original character being Mewtwo, as I was a big fan of him (still I am to this day! Just look my pfp), I was charmed seeing how Young Link, Dr. Mario and goddamn Pichu were playable, like hello?? I was also a fan of Majora's Mask so seeing Young Link was an instant eye catcher, and both doc and specially Pichu surprised me on how obscure of a pic they were, before watching the roster on a video back then, I wouldn't ever thought in my life Pichu could be a thing. And only because they were so obscure, I was so invested on trying them out.
    A few years later I've got my hands on the game (not anymore sadly), and I can say it was so fun finally trying these weird choices, alongside Mewtwo ofc. It felt so alien, yet so damn cool, coming from Brawl.
    And this is why I love clone characters. Some of them can pull up some crazy pick you wouldn't even think about if the stars align

    While I've never personally played a Zelda game, I've watched my different friends and RUclipsrs do play through and the argument on Ganondorf's moveset is...really dumb because that is how he fights. At best just give him a peach float and that yellow ball that bounces back. The sword oddly seems more outta left field. Like Sonic, people over complain about his moveset when really he just needs a boost side special. I also don't understand how people view Ganondorf as "low tier" he got buffed so much in Ultimate him (and Link) are S-Tier.

    roy also suffers a lot in melee due to the quick nature of changing his frame data from marth's resulting in a lot of his attacks just having wierd hitboxes, as the speed changes to his animations didn't line up with the changes to when his attacks went into their active/recovery periods, ending with a lot of his attacks having the hitboxes at weird places in the attack that tend to make them even stubbier than they'd seem
    the most iconic of these is probably dash attack, just due to the differences. marths is an amazing scoop and great tool, roy's... doesn't have an active hitbox while he's swinging the sword, instead active when its on the ground below him and going inactive as soon as he swings, leading to a lot of clips of him just cutting through nothing.
    most of the other clones in melee dodge this by having either generally simmilar speed or long active periods that make them work anyway (or possibly just it getting noticed and fixed in development) but it really gimps roy. its hard to be a brawler when your sweetspot hitboxes literally can never hit a opponent

      Aside from Ryu and Ken, Lucina and Marth are the most distinct fighter/echo combo in the roster.

    People need to get over themselves in terms of the clones thing in general. Those that hate them. I think they add an extra layer of customization and new playstyles with similar movesets and introduce the player to newer faces that otherwise wouldve taken longer to add or not have been integrated altogether

    26:10 that makes a lot of sense I personally never really minded clones and was more in the anti fire emblem camp. I still think echo fighters should be more different from the original than just one attribute change. I think it largely unnecessary to have daisy be an echo rather than a skin the way she currently is and I share that feeling about dark samus and richter as well. I think dark pit is closer in having unique design he plays a differently from pit but shares a lot of the same attributes. I think it would be cool if echo's were designed to be unique like ken is or isabelle even though she isn't an echo.
    thoughts I had for how to accomplish this is daisy would have a unique neutral and up special, the turnip pull would have different odds similar to mr game and watch custom move in smash 4 extreme judge where the odds are reverse bell curve so daisy would pull both smiles and stich faces more often but less shocked turnips. the neutral special would be based on crystal smash she uses in mario strikers charged. the up special is based on her appearances in mario tennis series flower bed return where she jumps straight up and then floats in any direction for a bit. daisy would have a lot more animation reworks like f air, up air, n air, up tilt, up smash, f tilt. all of daisy's attacks would be worse at combo's with faster knockback scaling and instead daisy would be more scraping focused utilizing her mobility both on the ground and in the air to put opponents in disadvantage. stat changes would be faster ground speed, higher air mobility, heavier, 1-2 frames faster on most moves.
    richter has the moves from his game buffed and simon has the moves from his game buffed. richter's up B travels higher, his d tilt does more damage, his Down B should travels forward along the ground for a bit like in his games, his d air does higher knock back and gives him a bigger bounce. stat changes moves faster on the ground and has slightly better air mobility, lighter weight, most moves do less damage and have worse knockback.
    dark samus gets a float, neutral B charges a laser instead that does huge flinching damage like a weaker samus final smash the charge amount determines duration, side B shoots a bunch of little projectiles that flinch with low damage like lucario side B, down B turns into the morph ball and charges forward instead of placing a bomb. stats lighter, floatier, slower attacks by 2-3 frames, higher air mobility, faster ground speed, attacks do less knockback and hit stun but more damage. strategy is disrupting enemy movement without walling them out.

    The fans determine how the tier list is without complete objectivity. Look at brawl for example Link is placed as the 4th worst character. Link in this game is nearly not as bad as what is shown on the tier list. It is inaccurate so is Ganons spot. Even though brawl Ganon is the weakest of the Ganons. In brawl he still had access to thunderstorming. Meaning he can just repeatedly autocancel his down airs for combos. Also Ganons dash attack in brawl is a ko move by itself. Regardless of where the enemy is on the stage the dash attack will send Ganon's opponent upwards. Which can at times overtake other lower tier fighters in a match. This overexaggerated badness of Link and Ganon in Brawl is because they lost their biggest tool kits between games. Link lost his very strong up b and Ganon lost his very strong wizards foot. As for Ganon in ultimate hes once again exaggerated as being very bad. Ganondorf is not the worst character. But its also true that he is a character that has less rewarding moves as the other heavy characters. Even Ganon's signature weight has been lessened in Ultimate. Zelda is also not nearly as bas as she is placed in brawl. Her upsmash alone does like 20% has a big hit box and can be chained repeatedly. Zelda can also spam the dins fire savagely in Brawl. The dins fire is way more rewarding in brawl than in later games and in meele.

    Young Link is my personal least favorite character in the game, he has incredible moveset potential from Majora's mask. But he is literally a carbon copy of Old Link, except for fire arrows. So he has a more spammy, better moveset than original Link. And his moveset represents nothing new, they even gave him a lame copy and paste final smash instead of a new one like every other melee clone got (Pichu has the same one but it does damage to itself, which is a small change but more than Young Link got) Young Link is the worst designed character in the game in my opinion.
