Sure, an Echo makes sense. That’s a pretty safe prediction.
I got a whole list of potential echoes.
Samus - Dark Samus
Ness - Ninten
Bowser - Dry Bowser
Impa - Sheik(Yes, Sheik should be the Echo)
Meta Knight - Galacta Knight
Olimar - Alph
Snake - Big Boss
Sonic - Shadow
Mega Man - Proto Man
Ryu - Ken
Cloud - Zack
Bayonetta - Jeanne
Only shadow and ken are the only reasonable echo choices from that list
If they add Ken as a fighter they should at least make his srk have fire effect
He’s not really wrong, but I appreciate the dig at Melee at the very end.
EDIT
I actually really like Omni’s take on the whole thing:
(TL;DR: It was a stupid stunt, but the community was already stupid)

I don’t think there is anything in that Omni vid that I don’t agree with.
Also dude uses the DKC2 Forest theme which is godly

So, uh… I just got around to listening to this since I was away all weekend. Am I wrong in thinking there’s some “Castlevania” mixed in there at the end? I realize that Galaga is Namco while Castlevania is Konami, but it definitely sounds like it.
@Colonel-Gilgamesh I think I might be more on your side regarding a Belmont tomorrow.
I wont be able to watch but if Shadow gets announced as an echo fighter then I def will main him. I’d expect him to be a slightly slower but stronger version of him with chaos control effects on some of his attacks and instead of spring up b its a chaos control telport that can be directed in any direction.
Simon confirmed. Trevor is an Echo Fighter. Alucard Assist Trophy. Castlevania Stage w/ Dracula Boss Hazard…along with a bunch of different monsters, like Death and Medusa
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD
Sakurai is a mad man and I love him forever
Everything I thought I knew about echo fighters was wrong.
WE GOT K ROOL BOYS! LET’S GOOOOO! I’m loving it
Also, RIP Shovel Knight hopes. He got the Waluigi treatment
TWO BELMONTS
CHROM AND DARK SAMUS AS ECHOS
F***ING KING K.ROOL
For the love of God Sakurai, where will you stop!??!??!?!

Shovel Knight getting ANYTHING is impressive. I am ever so slightly sad about the “just an AT” thing, but given the corporate realities involved… …I think what we got was as good as was going to happen. I’m glad for him, with that in mind.
On the other hand, we got a useful training mode! That’s huge. The attempt to let us do a ‘mini Final Smash’ in competitive play as an optional rule is also very welcome; I plan to try it.
Dark Samus is highly welcome as well. K Rool? Glad his fans are happy.
chrom? Well, guess I’ve got a new training mode dummy so that’s nice too.
Getting Simon Belmont and Richter ‘BEST BELMONT’ Belmont on the other hand is absolutely fantastic, and I’m delighted they’re in!

Serious discussion time.
Final Smash Meter: Yay or Nay? Both casually and competitive.
