This is Remake It! Where we take another look at characters in Smash Bros. whose fighter designs have aged poorly, wandered too far out-of-character, or could otherwise benefit from a revisit, then theorycraft what a reworked and improved version of their moveset, playstyle, and other details might look like!
This time...is different from the usual. Instead of overhauling one single character, we're looking at a concept that was underutilized in Ultimate. Echo fighters were set up to be a way of including even more characters who might not have had a chance otherwise--essentially the clone characters from past entries but with a more positive connotation. But in practice, so many of them have been little more than glorified model swaps, with stats and movesets barely different from their source characters...if not identical!
But what if we could do something about that? Let's focus on three specific echo fighters (Daisy, Dark Pit, and Dark Samus), giving them thoughtful changes that help them stand out better and act as true variations of the movesets they borrow from! If that sounds complicated, it'll make sense as you watch.
