What Are Echo Fighters?
Echo Fighters are essentially alternate character skins that are put in place of an existing fighter. The differences between the Echo Fighter and the character they are in place of are subtle and mostly cosmetic. However, there can be minor gameplay differences, such as special moves operating in slightly different manors. (Example: Dark Samus' movement is a little floatier and her missiles will move slightly different than Samus.)
If more fighters are unveiled for this game, Shacknews will make sure to update this list. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is set to release on Nintendo Switch on December 7.
