Did people really say that Ike was Marth’s clone and that Shulk was Ike’s clone?
Because if someone did then they really need a dictionary.

I know the struggle, I was in a smash chatroom when cloud happened and they said and I quote "All sword fighters play the same! We have too many!" First off, if you think Shulk, Ike, Link, and Meta knight play the same, you need mental help. Also I counted the character types by main weapon and I got 26 brawlers, 11 sword fighter, 2 bow fighters, 6 mages ( Robin counts both sword and mage and I also would count Mewtwo as more so a magic user), 9 gunners/tech users, 1 pikmin user, 1 hammer user, 1 what ever the fuck G&W is, and 1 what ever the fuck Villager is. I don't see too much of a problem.
