#REDIRECT[[Clone]]
'''Clone characters''' are playable [[characters]] whose entire movesets (both normal and special) are identical to another's with only minor variation and/or effects. Creating a larger roster is usually the reason for the creation of clone characters but unique movesets are more desirable. While often thought as one by many due to the similarity of his special moves with those of [[Mario (SSB)|Mario]]'s, [[Luigi (SSB)|Luigi]] is not considered a clone due to his unique normal moveset (and side special move in [[Melee]]). Clone characters' portraits appear next to and slightly lower to those of their counterparts on the Melee character select screen. Only unlockable characters in the Smash Bros. series are considered clones.

===Luigification===
[[Masahiro Sakurai]] previously suggested that any returning clones in Brawl might be "decloned" with new movesets. Upon the Japanese release of the game, this has been confirmed to ''technically'' be the case for the most part, in that no characters share complete movesets as in Melee (with the exception of [[Toon Link]]). However, to the dismay of some fans, several characters remain "'''semi-clones'''"-- based off the design of others and sharing variations of special movesets and fighting styles while still retaining other unique moves. This is also commonly known as "'''[[Luigified|Luigification]]'''". Prior to Brawl, [[Luigi]] was the only character of this kind, hence the name.
 
===List of Semi-Clone Characters in Brawl===
*[[Luigi_(SSBB)|Luigi]]: a semi-clone of [[Mario_(SSBB)|Mario]]
*[[Falco_(SSBB)|Falco]]: a semi-clone of [[Fox_(SSBB)|Fox]]
*[[Wolf_(SSBB)|Wolf]]: an alternate semi-clone of Fox
*[[Ganondorf_(SSBB)|Ganondorf]]: a semi-clone of [[Captain Falcon_(SSBB)|Captain Falcon]]
*[[Zero Suit Samus_(SSBB)|Zero Suit Samus]]: a semi-clone of [[Sheik_(SSBB)|Sheik]]
<!--
BEFORE YOU EDIT: Keep in mind, this portion of the article is referring specifically to "Brawl", not the SSB series as a whole. Even though Marth and Ness were primary characters in previous games, they were replaced by Ike and Lucas as such in Brawl. In Brawl, Ike and Lucas are the primary characters and Marth and Ness are secondary "throw-back" characters (Much the same way Fox's moveset was reworked in  Melee and Falco was used to bring back Fox's classic moveset). Therefore, even though Ike and Lucas maybe considered the semi-clones in the SSB series in general, in "Brawl" it is only accurate to say Marth and Ness are the semi-clones of Ike and Lucas. It was listed this way intentionally, please do not attempt to correct it by reversing the orders.

*[[Marth_(SSBB)|Marth]]: a semi-clone of [[Ike_(SSBB)|Ike]]
*[[Ness_(SSBB)|Ness]]: a semi-clone of [[Lucas_(SSBB)|Lucas]]
