*{{SSBM|Master Hand}} and {{SSBM|Crazy Hand}} could be considered semi-clones, as they share most of their attacks while having some unique attacks and many unique animations. They would also undergo their own "Luigification" in subsequent games, as both would be given more unique moves and animations as the series went on. | *{{SSBM|Master Hand}} and {{SSBM|Crazy Hand}} could be considered semi-clones, as they share most of their attacks while having some unique attacks and many unique animations.

*While Jigglypuff is considered decloned enough in ''Melee'' to not even be labelled a pseudo-clone any more, remnants of it being based off of Kirby remain and so it cannot be said to be a completely unique character, with Jigglypuff still sharing a {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSBM|forward tilt}}, {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSBM|up tilt}}, {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSBM|down aerial}}, | *While Jigglypuff is considered decloned enough in ''Melee'' to not even be labelled a pseudo-clone any more, remnants of it being based off of Kirby remain and so it cannot be said to be a completely unique character, with Jigglypuff still sharing a {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSBM|forward tilt}}, {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSBM|up tilt}}, {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSBM|down aerial}}, {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSBM|forward smash}}, and {{mvsub|Jigglypuff|SSBM|grab}} with Kirby.

*Technically, Samus can be considered a "grandparent" to Ganondorf, since the latter is a clone of Captain Falcon, who was partially cloned off of Samus in the previous title. The two characters are so vastly different that they cannot be considered clones in any practical sense, but Ganondorf and Captain Falcon still share their floor attack, dash attack, and up tilt animations with Samus. | *Technically, Samus can be considered a "grandparent" to Ganondorf, since the latter is a clone of Captain Falcon, who was partially cloned off of Samus in the previous title.

*Although [[Mr. Game & Watch]] has always been a unique character as opposed to a clone, he shared most of his attributes (except for his weight, air speed and air acceleration) with {{SSBM|Mario}} in ''Melee'', indicating he started development based off of Mario until being developed into his own unique character. | *Although [[Mr. Game & Watch]] has always been a unique character as opposed to a clone, he shared most of his attributes (except for his weight, air speed and air acceleration) with {{SSBM|Mario}} in ''Melee'', indicating he started development based off of Mario until being developed into his own unique character. | ||
