Super Smash Bros Ultimate Beginner Tips
Attack of the Not-Quite Clones
Now, you might have heard the term “Echo Fighter” thrown around to describe certain characters. As the term suggests, they’re clones of certain characters (Richter is a clone of Simon; Daisy is a clone of Peach, etc.), but like an actual echo, they aren’t 100% the same.
For the most part, Echo Fighters are almost identical to the original characters, but they always break the mold in some way. Sometimes the differences are only cosmetic; other times characters feel tangibly different. Their moves might look the same, but an Echo Fighter’s attack could knock back characters horizontally rather than diagonally. Or perhaps an Echo Fighter is a bit floatier than the original.
Don’t go into Super Smash Bros Ultimate thinking Echo Fighters play exactly like their counterparts. That’s like ordering ice cream and saying you don’t care if it’s vanilla or chocolate because they’re both nothing more than frozen, flavored milk fat.
