Animations come into it but don't echoes also share all the main stats with their original fighter? Dr Mario for example has different speeds and jumps. The echoes don't. --[[User:Delia|Delia]] ([[User talk:Delia|talk]]) 15:55, 27 January 2019 (EST) | Animations come into it but don't echoes also share all the main stats with their original fighter?

:Ken is faster than Ryu, so sharing stats is not a requirement for being an echo fighter. Animations is the key criteria, I don't know how I can make it clear to everyone but echo fighters are basically low cost characters : animating a character is unarguably the most time consuming task (and therefore the most costly part) of developping a figher in Smash. By reusing most of an other character animations, the developpers allow themself to add an extra fighter in the game for a really cheap development price by saving on the main part of its budget. That's the actual motive behind what echo fighters are : low cost characters. Everything else is nothing but ulterior developments that doesn't affect the characters echo status. They can keep any part of the character a pure copy, but that's never a requirement for the fighter to be an echo. They may keep all the stats, but they may also decide to change some, and it won't disqualify the fighter as being an echo (that's what they did for Ken). So yeah, in the end, objectively looking at the motive behind echo fighters and the 7 ones we have, I can tell for sure that animations recycling is what's make an echo an echo. ''And just for the record, it's not like I decided so right of the bat, when the first direct aired, as anyone, I was surprised by Dr Mario not being considered an echo. But when the second direct aired, by seeing Dark Samus and Chrom, especially seeing how Dark Samus switch between a few floating animations and many non floating animation, I figured out the recuring pattern. And it actually made me predict that if Isabelle would be added, she would be an echo fighter, because the Villager animations wouldn't fit her, I guessed right. And when Sakurai said Isabelle couldn't be an echo, the very next sentence he said right after is that she has her own animations, so of not direct proof of me being right, it's still good evidence I am.''
