I'm beginning to think that Sakurai gets a kick out of seeing us bash each other's heads out over this stuff.

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."Look, she got her own title card and her own character box, so similar moves or not, she's a separate character as far as the game is concerned.

Because their alts are both 1)The same character, but with a different gender, and 2)Introduced in the same game, unlike a potential Marth/Lucina alternate.

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."If she was an alt, she wouldn't have her own icon in the character select screen. You'd chose Marth, and then switch into his Lucina costume.
If she was a clone, she would have her own icon on the select screen, separate from any other fighter.
Either one of those options, she'd have the same moves.
But we don't actually know for certain whether she does share all the same moves. We haven't seen much yet.
I don't really care whether she has an identical moveset to Marth or not, I'd just prefer that you be able to select her with her own icon on the screen. It's more convenient. Also, since she is a separate character, it would be more respectful, clone or no.
Fairly late, but regarding the Rayman stunt; I'm surprised nobody mentioned how this all but confirms the return of non-ported trophies, considering how Sakurai mentioned looking for "reference material" rather than the model itself.
Also piping in to say that the reveal today was easily the best possible resolution for this Awakening controversy, at least IMO. And I like to imagine Falcon just being anal over the Retired Nintendo Franchise Club losing out on another potential member.

It's also the same on the desktop version.
@Rinsa-what's-their-name: Again, it'd make sense in case Lucina really is an alt because she's both 1)Her own character instead of just "Female Marth" and 2)Introduced much later down the line, unlike Villager and Trainer.

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."Smashboards are speculating that Robin will draw the Levin Sword when he exhausts his tome and that the Bronze Sword is drawn out when he has a tome. If correct, this means Robin is probably the closest we're getting to a stance-type character in this Smash since Zelda and ZSS are their own separate characters now.
Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!So... Thread Hop. Has anything official happened with this character reveal?
I think the fact that Lucina has her own space on the website is just glorification. If indeed she is an alt, this is definitely a first for them - having a different model and voice. So it's like her actual character is there, and they're advertising it on the website as such to appeal to fans who wanted her, but she's still an exact Moveset Clone of Marth.

Yeah, kinda. I mean, Robin and Lucina from Fire Emblem and Captain Falcon returning are official right?
