:As I explained on Discord, I '''heavily oppose''' this. While obviously mention can be made of the fact that certain clone pairs are nearly interchangeable at a competitive level, I feel it's misleading and inappropriate to lump them together into a single category. I recently added cross-linking between the relevant categories so that anyone who wants to see, say, Peach players can also easily navigate to Daisy players who play a functionally similar character, which in my mind accomplishes the same goal in a way that doesn't mislead about who plays who. Some players exclusively play one of a pair and it's important to make that distinction using separate categories. If somebody plays both Peach and Daisy at a high level, there's no harm in having them in both categories. I think a similar bit of cross-linking could be done between the competitive article sections on the relevant Character (SSBU) pages.

:'''Support''', the arguments against this have been based on poor slippery slope arguments (e.g. "what's to stop us from merging the other echoes?!"), or nonsense sentimental arguments that are just as applicable to the alt-skin characters (it's just as "misleading" to call a Daisy "player" a Peach player as it would be to call an Alex "player" a Steve player). Merge what is practically duplicate categories/content and stop putting up the charade of these echoes being separate metagame entities. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 15:14, March 19, 2021 (EDT) | |||
