"Echo fighter" isn't completely synonymous with "clone", given how the classification actually got applied to characters in Ult. Also clone examples aren't accurate; Roy's classification depends on the game, and Isabelle is decidedly a semi-clone, replaced with better examples
m (I doubt "salty" comes from Skullgirls. I heard it often in a school that didn't have anyone dealing in fighting games and before SG's popularity (Urban Dictionary even has similar definitions from years before release). I'm not sure if "Kappa" is a good entry; if it belongs, it definitely did not originate "with the fighting game community", it's a Twitch thing) |
