Smash Ultimate's introduction of Echo Fighters was great. They're an efficient way of extending the roster without adding too much to the dev's workloads, and can shine a much-needed spotlight on characters who may otherwise have little chance of making it into the game.

So obviously, the point of this thread is to come up with some new Echo Fighters of our own. All you have to do is find a newcomer who could feasibly share most of their moves with a preexisting fighter and come up with some ways to differentiate them from each other.

I'll start off simply with Hector from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. Otherwise known as... just Fire Emblem overseas.

"What's this? Another Fire Emblem swordfighter? What blasphemy!"

Oh, that's total nonsense, Hector's clearly carrying an axe instead of a sword. As such, his attacks and overall movement may be a little slower than Ike, but he'd make up for it with his sheer power alone. The head of his axe would act as a sweetspot for most of his attacks, his Neutral B would create pillars of electricity instead of fire, and for his Up B, he'd twirl his axe above his head like a helicopter instead of using Ike's Aether, giving him a more versatile recovery than his counterpart.
