Have you played Melee? Lol that's more what I had in mind with that comment but uh
They have different properties, yes, but Falco's still a Fox clone. It's just less obvious.
Circa Brawl, the animations sure are different enough, but give them a closer look and Fox and Falco are still pretty much similar enough to be "clones". They're not painfully obvious clones like Marth-Lucina, but more or less some general changes are made between the two characters enough to not be clones (with Lucina, it's lazy - the sword has consistent damage throughout, compared to the variations between Fox and Falco)
The space animals in Brawl were no exception to this: Fox became a general rushdown character whose purpose was to get characters to high percentages before finishing them with a very limited number of Smash attacks. Falco ran slower, jumped higher, and had a better air game than Fox. Wolf was slower than both characters, had a lousy aerial game but an insane ground game.
Their movesets were just modified enough to make them seem more varied than a straight up clone. Wolf's changes made it seem far less obvious, but Falco's basically unchanged from Brawl in this game moveset-wise.
Okay whatever argh the point is that you made a one-off suggestion that Peppy be a clone of Falco and I found it humorous that you're suggesting a character be a clone of a character who originally existed as a clone of another.
