To be fair, Lucina might not be a clone. There's definitely the possibilty for different specials/Tilts/smash attacks.

[up]No, it's confirmed that the lack of a tipper is the only difference between her and Marth.

Robin is also a Fire Emblem Female.

And also a clone. Or rather, an alternate.

Like there was nothing preventing Robin from being female as default really.

considering he's literally the same guy in a different outfit.

How do you know? I mean, for all we know, Dr. Mario is but another of the Mario clan, distant from his relatives and doing a less adventurous job. Maybe he's, like, Mario and Luigi's uncle or something.

There is no way they're having DLC fighters. It'd wreck balance something fierce if you can't assume that every player has all the characters (unlike if they were merely unlockable)

You'd be surprised.

We're never past anything in this thread. It always finds a way to loop back around unfortunately.

She's probably nothing more than a glorified costume swap. Like it makes sense for an avatar character and actually what many fans were hoping for with Pokemon trainer in brawl but it does look kind of bad when after years of not having a FE female playable the ones we finally get are just femcopies of already male ones, gameplay wise.

So far, of Lucina, we haven't seen any differences from Marth. Until we get the game, she may have an identical moveset(barring taunts, of course) with different stats.

It's not exactly fair to label a character a clone when you have no idea how the character actually plays aside from previews.

Female Robin is not a "copy" of the male. They're the exact same character, they're both equally important.

With the Wii Fit Trainers, the male and female Robins, the Villagers, and Little Mac, varying their appearances and voices works just like selecting alternate color variations. However, whenever there is even a small difference in abilities, that character gets an actual roster slot.

I'm not entirely sure how else you would define a clone.

Guys, really, there being clone characters is nothing to worry about. They aren't replacing anyone, they're just thrown in because they had extra time. There's not a hard roster limit. The only thing that would limit the roster is time and disc-space. If you think that the choice is Dr. Mario or Mewtwo then you're kidding yourself. The choice, presuming the leak is real, would be Dr. Mario or nothing. And even if that leak is real, there might be some characters that the leaker had not unlocked.

Come on now, this is TV Tropes. Clones are things for people on the Game FA Qs forums to bitch about.

You obviously know nothing about TV Tropes. There may be rules against complaining, but there are also rules against murder, yet people still do it.

There's not a hard roster limit.

Can this become, like, the signature, title, location, and avatar of everyone in this thread? In fact, I'd like this tattooed on my body. Like, every inch of my body. Go ahead and put this on my gravestone, while you're at it.

Why are we ACTUALLY taking this leak seriously?

It's probably best to just drop the subject, we're never going to come to an agreement while the game is still in development.

So how about classic stages? Which ones do you want back? Personally, I wouldn't mind Fountain of Dreams returning.

@Anomalocaris Because in the absence of real updates, we need something to obsess over to lessen our anticipation for the actual game. tongue

@Darth Taco: Melee's clones were chosen over King Dedede.

So it could very well be a choice between Dr. Mario/Dark Pit/Lucina or Mewtwo.
