>>51274537>how in the fuck is ganondorf being a clone of captain falcon any weirder than zeraora being a clone of lucario. The point is that it happened by chance.
If Zeraoua was going to be a cheap frankenclone of Lucario and Wolf, he'd had to be a popular character made as a last minute addition by chance just like whst happened to Ganondorf.
That wasn't ever going to happen in the first place. Zeraoua wasn't even a thing when they finalized the base game of Ultimate, which makes this weird.
What makes it even weirder is if they suddenly decided to add another Gen 8 Pokemon in the next Smash game. if it's not done at the last minute, all the time and effort would have been put on a more fresher moveset,
Another example of this would be Wario, who almost ended up in a same fate as Ganondorf if "overrepresentation" wasn't put to mind. He got a more original moveset by next game.
But that want makes this weird. Even with other clones, there hasn't been something like Ganondorf happening since Melee was released
