Funky Kong is an obvious one.
>Replace some smash attacks with Surfboard whacks
>Could have some pretty good taunts and animations
>An easily recognizable character
>Same body build as DK, only difference being Funky is more often standing upright and DK is almost always on all fours, but they could make it work

That's already an alt you dumb nigger
Oliver Peterson
Do it have the horns, white wings and shield or is just the mask of metaknight slightly changed?
Mason Rivera
I don't know about Echoes, but we need alts of Lucas with the Masked Man uniform, Ness in pajama, Ness as a robot, and Gooigi.
Ryan Mitchell
literally who?
Carter Phillips
Ninten.
Jack Bell
Unironically
Aaron Taylor
I don't even need to explain why
Hunter Wright
Alexander Sanchez
Aiden King
Thomas Richardson
That would just be an alt skin. I hate the same character having multiple slots
Grayson Morgan

Jack Diaz
You must hate Marth huh?
Daniel Anderson
Remember when people hated clone characters? What happened to that?
Luis Stewart
Luke Carter
Yes but I would give him different property.

Eli Jones
The rebranding to "Echo fighters," after 17 years of refusing to listen, finally got it into their thick skulls that these characters with minor adjustments did not take time away from whatever new character they wanted.
Speaking of echoes, she would be a perfect one of Palutena.
>replace the wings from the smashes with ghostly snake heads
>light effects changed to darkness effects
>copy Ganondorf's final smash, but with her true form of a giant one-eyed head
Ryder Morgan
Yes. Quite a bit
Matthew Collins
Her FS would be Bowsers where she turns giant and punches the screen
Blake White
Based Medusa
Grayson Murphy
>This character can totally be an echo
>Just make them completely different!
Ian Jackson
>Change some lighting effects and FS
>completely different
Gabriel Miller
If we're not limiting echos to their own series I'd like to see Giygas as a Mewtwo echo except with red energy attacks and a final smash where he turns into his form from Earthbound.
Hunter Kelly
The power of branding my friend.
Oliver Moore
Waluigi as a Luigi Echo
>It would make sense because he was based off Luigi
>Waluigi's name literally translated to "Evil Luigi" in Japanese.
>Sakurai just put him in the fucking game you bastard.
Brody Scott
He's an assist trophy my guy
Luis White
That's not really how an echo works. Peach/Daisy, Simon/Richter are pretty much 1:1. I don't really think of Ken as an echo either. Maybe Medusa would work. Maybe not. I like her. Never played KI in my fucking miserable life, dude. Fuck your native soul.
Matthew White
Their body shapes are pretty different though; I don't think it would work well
Nolan Cox
He deserves better.
Charles Lewis
I agree, 3 links isn't enough
Michael Brown
It's probably because the general smash fan base assumed that clone characters were stealing spots originally.
It wasn't until Sakurai actually explained why clones/echo's are a thing they finally calmed down about it
Bentley Davis
>these characters take no time so you have no right to complain about them

>I have no way to defend this character other than pointing out that they took less time than a real character
Can't complain about any of the modes since they didn't take the effort that subspace by that logic.
Isaiah Wilson
I don't give a flying rats ass.
Camden Hernandez
Calling them echo fighters makes people think of them differently
Daniel Miller
Except people have been shouting "MUH CLONES YOU CANT CRITICZE THEM" since 2015.
Dark pit and Lucinda are still shit picks that are in due to bias.
Charles Robinson
>Give him chaff/stun instead grenades.
>Stinger forward smash
>Cartwheel dash attack
>Forward tilt HF blade
Evan Sanchez
Zanza
Owen Cook
With the sheer amount of weapons in Splatoon, I would prefer if Octo was a unique fighter.
Michael Gomez
I didn't even think of this but it'd be cool
