Uniquely, seven characters (veterans [[Lucina]] and [[Dark Pit]] and newcomers Daisy, Richter, Chrom, Dark Samus, and Ken) are given a special category known as Echo Fighters, which are characters whose movesets are heavily derived from those of other characters. While some Echo Fighters have distinct differences, such as Chrom and Ken, others, like Daisy and Richter, may be completely identical to the fighter they are based on. However, while their movesets may be similar to their base character, they have unique visual differences such as Final Smashes, taunts, victory animations, and, in some cases, victory themes.
