Its going to be a starter, and it will be which ever one seems to shill the most.
From a smash perspective, fire bunny starter would play v similar to Captain Falcon, and water lizard will play like gren/joker. I think the grass typing would allow grass gorilla-mon to play different than any other archetype. He wil be more than a DK clone, his grass powers allow for some interesting play, maybe a heal mechanic or a projectile.
