The term originated in the competitive ''[[Melee]]'' community, where players noticed that {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}} not only have an extremely similar moveset, being [[clones]], but also very similar physical attributes, such as high [[falling speed]] and [[gravity]], and light [[weight]]. These similarities not only grant the two characters a similar playstyle, but also make them uniquely susceptible to similar counterplay, such as {{SSBM|Marth}} up throw [[chain throw]] in ''Melee'' and {{SSBB|Pikachu}} down throw chain throw in ''Brawl'', as well as specialized combos like {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}'s [[up throw Rest]]. Subsequent titles differentiated Fox and Falco more, by giving them different moves and slightly altering their attributes; however, their moveset and physical attributes remain very similar across the series, and as such the term "spacie" continues to see wide usage. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' introduced {{SSBB|Wolf}}, another ''Star Fox'' character with a moveset based on Fox. Although their movesets are only superficially similar and he is a heavyweight in ''Brawl'' and a middleweight in ''Ultimate'', as opposed to a lightweight, the overall similarities to Fox and Falco still cause Wolf to be included among the spacies. | The term originated in the competitive ''[[Melee]]'' community, where players noticed that {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}} not only have an extremely similar moveset, being [[clones]], but also very similar physical attributes, such as high [[falling speed]] and [[gravity]], and light [[weight]].
