Alloy Wrote:A clone in the game, by people's standards, is basically a character with the same moveset as another's, but with slight statistic variations. Like Ganon being a slower and stronger Captain Falcon, or Toon Link being a faster and weaker Link. Aside from those 2 distinctions, the differences between them can be counted with your fingers. They are enough to have a different playstyle? Sure, but either way, it's a shared moveset.
They are clones because the term used by people is defined by them. Of course people don't dash on waves in melee, so stop being literal about the term.
Fox and falco are the two best clones. Almost every single move in their movesets are entirely different in effect and function. Uair dair and fair, usmash fmash and dsmash, dtilt, all of their specials...it's more than different play styles they're different characters entirely.
No one in the community uses clone the way you just said because no one considers clone to be a legitimate term due to the way the metagame as evolved, only casuals do that. (ironically, both sets of players have used the term wavedashing since forever (by the way, the term probably came from the observation of characters dashing over the cloud "waves" that they create when they hit the floor so it's a pretty literal term)) So go f'uck yourself.
