Though, to be fair, Dark Pit and Lucina just feel like a huge step back from how clones were handled in Brawl, where they really only shared their special moves with their base, and only to a degree.
Heck, even in Melee the clones had a particular attribute that would just pop up right away immediately: Ganondorf being a tank compared to the speedy bruiser Captain Falcon, Young Link being smaller, faster, weaker and lighter than Link, Roy dealing more damage on the hilt of the sword instead of the tip like Marth, Pichu damaging itself with every electric attack, Falco being generally stronger and focusing on killing blows; I mean, for god's sake, Dr. Mario might have been the least unique of the Melee clones, but even he is more different from Mario than Pitoo is to Pit and Lucy is to Marth (then again, that may be exclusively due to him having the Tornado).
I mean, make Lucina near Sonic-fast, or Dark Pit slow but brutal, or with a marginably better recovery. Just actually make the most out of the fact that they have their own slot.
