>create near 1:1 clones for Smash 4, people hate them
>create a specific term for them and add a few more in Ultimate, people change their minds and like it
>abandon the idea after just a few of them
Echo Fighters were one of the best ideas for Smash and Sakurai barely did anything with them. Imagine how many more characters we could have cheap and easy and quickly by making them into Echo Fighters.

>Yeah, it’s gonna take us two years and $25-$30 from each of you to finish five characters
who in the fuck would garchomp be an echo of
The only echo fighters worth a damn are Chrom and Dark Pit anyways, since they have more notable differences. Lucina is a glorified Marth and the others are literally alts.
On the other hand wanting echoes of characters that fight completely different than the original in their own series is really dumb, like Medusa and Garchomp echoes are dumb ideas and so is stuff like Black Knight Ike echo.
Charizard.
>wing-based attacks use his arms with the same animations
>Fire-based attacks changed to blue-green color and are Dragon-type attacks now, Dragonbreath, Dragon Pulse, etc
Garchomp can't fucking fly moron
Neither can Charizard in Smash Ultimate. Instead of "Fly" he uses Dragon Rush.
>Garchomp an echo
Of who? Charizard?
>Dry Bowser an echo instead of a costume
>Birdo an echo of Yoshi even though the eggs come out of his mouth and has completely different animations
Dry Bowser has blue fire and can be a little lighter but have a more robust Tough Guy attribute since he's an unfeeling pile of bones.
Birdo can use the same throw animations as Yoshi, the same eating animation (sucks people in from the same distance with an inhale instead of using a tongue), and use the forward throw animation to spit eggs.
