I think you’re being a little closed minded on this. Look at the more recent newcomers instead of the Melee’s and Brawls of the world. Ryu, Simon, Bayonetta, Incineroar, King K. Rool, and Inklings present pretty unique movesets that aren’t your typical Smash character. I think Sakurai can whip up something unique when he puts his mind to it.

A little close minded on this? A lot of Ultimate's newcomers are half clones .... 

That’s why I didn’t include just Ultimate’s newcomers ;)

Take Ryu for example. He completely changed how Smash characters CAN be developed. Using command inputs in a Smash game is pretty insane when Smash Bros. uses two buttons instead of six in Street Fighter.

Heck I forgot to mention Robin. Utiilizing your weaponry carefully as your sword and magic can run out temporarily.

Then you got Bayonetta. Her combo ability reflects her gameplay from her games. Sure it was kinda ridiculous in Smash 4, but it felt like you were playing Bayonetta from her games.

These are just examples. All I’m saying is that we should not assume Sakurai is going to make one character based off another, especially when said character, Rex, doesn’t fight like the other, Shulk, in their respective games.
