Pardon. I don't know why I never wanted to let go of the idea of Kazooie being male.

Those are nice suggestions dear, but put yourself in the makers of SSB's place. Surely there is unlimited room to make an entirely fresh and individual character, but they know there is a character duo which's moves could as well be the BK duo's moves (mostly). It would save them effort and time, just like it did with Ganondorf. Of course if they think through it and decide that making the BKD partly a moveset clone would negatively affect the sales too strongly, they would end up giving them an entirely individual moveset. If they figure that copying the moveset won't make much of a difference in sales, however, surely they wouldn't just waste their time giving him an individual moveset out of love for their customers if copy and pasting does the job just as well. I strongly believe that the DHD's moves with the duck would perfectly fit to Banjo and Kazooie. If they see it the same way and don't expect many customers to refuse to buy the DLC if it's mostly a moveset clone, then I'm certain they won't hesitate to copy the moveset.
