Simple. Pick out a "clone" character and say how you'd reduce their cloneiness. Here's my candidate...

Lucina



Okay, Lucina. Daughter of Chrom and Sumia, princess of Ylisse, kind of mad over butterflies... at least, that's how one game depicts her. Another game depicts her as a genderbent Marth with voice acting and balanced attacks. I say it's time to change that.

Below are my ways to declone Lucina...


 * Standard Special: Shield Breaker. Charges faster than Marth's version, but doesn't deal as much damage. It still keeps the same "predictable attack which ignores shields" functionality.
 * Custom Standard: Rapid Breaker. Launches a series of small slashes, followed by the original attack. However, this attack takes longer to charge and is very weak unless sufficiently charged.
 * Up Special: Dolphin Slash. Lucina performs a spinning slash motion rather than a simple rising slash. Otherwise, same functionality.
 * Custom Up: Luna Slash. Rises more slowly and leaves Lucina open at the end, but deals more damage. This was inspired by "Luna", a skill available to the Great Knight class in Awakening (which is actually one of Lucina's reclassing options).
 * Side Special: Dancing Blade. Completely different attacks with each possible input. I think that's all that needs to be said.
 * Custom Side: Twin Blade. Launches two weaker slashes with each button input, adding up to more damage than total, but has to take a short break between each part of the combo.
 * Down Special: Counter. Same functionality as Marth's, but requires less precise timing in exchange for less damage. When an attack is successfully countered, Lucina says "Hope we'll never die!", my favourite of her critical hit quotes from Awakening.
 * Custom Down: Awakening. Requires more precise timing, but heals Lucina for an amount based on the damage dealt if the counter succeeds. This is named both after Fire Emblem Awakening, the game in which she appears in, and a skill available for the Great Lord class in Fire Emblem Fates.
 * Final Smash: Critical Hit. Same as before, just with a different slash animation, more range and less power (causes 40% damage, which is equal to half the maximum health amount in Awakening).

Okay, what are your ideas for decloning? Let. Me. Know!
