:I think the rewrite was a really good way to distinguish full clones, semi-clones, psuedo clones, etc. However, I’m curious as to why physical attributes were not considered as “distinguishing characteristics”. Considering how they affect how a character plays far more than individual moves, shouldin’t things like the Marth clones’ sweetspots, the Links being progressively faster but weaker, and Pichu hurting itself be considered distinguishing characteristics?

The rewrite
I have re-written most of this page from scratch. The goal was to solve a few problems:
- The article didn't distinguish whether a difference mattered to whether a character is a clone, which left some confusion over the definition.
- The developer term "echo" doesn't match the fan term "clone", and the article didn't really lay that out right.
- Some characters (e.g. Wolf) needed a new category created for them.
