for those who wanted alph as a clone, it actually happened at one point. idk why they scrapped it for lucina/dark pit though.

I assume the reason it was scrapped was that they wanted him to be more than what Lucina and Dark Pit are, and thought that there would be more Lucina and Dark Pit fans than Alph fans who would be excited by them being separate characters. What it probably came down to was lack of time.
