Why? For what purpose? Lucina/DPit/Doc didn't take development time anyway from any other characters. They were originally going to be alternate skins, and then Sakurai decided at the last moment it'd be cool if they had some minor differences. People asking to get rid of clones are quite literally asking for less content in the game with nothing in return.

Well at least make the clones feel more unique, like how Luigi was given the Super Jump Punch or Green Rocket starting with Melee, or how Roy's moves were made more unique from Marth's.

I wouldn't be opposed to additional work being done for them, but I don't understand the widespread push to give them different movesets compared with other alternate skins. They're just alternate costumes, like Alph, Koopalings, etc. that were given one or two minor differences. If you're not going to sit here and demand that Alph or the Koopalings be given a unique moveset for Smash 5, you shouldn't be doing so for Lucina or Dark Pit.

Eh, I think Lucina should just be a Marth skin. I don't see many ways in which they can make her unique compared to Marth and Roy, and having three semi-clones is a bit much, too.
Dr. Mario I'm fine with, especially if they keep changing Mario to add some Cappy stuff or whatever, and Dark Pit I could be okay with if they make either him or Pit closer to how Pit was in Brawl, since they reworked him quite considerably for Smash 4.

Conversely, I don't see the reason behind taking the small differences between Marth and Lucina away. While Marth's tipper is often preferable for many matchups, there are some where it's just not feasible to consistently tipper, making Lucina the ideal choice. You certainly don't lose anything from having a character with a slight alteration; I don't understand the logic behind taking a character with a slight, often useful distinction, and just removing that.
I'd pose this question to you as something of a logic exercise: If Lucina still kept her differences, but was chosen from the character select screen as an alternate skin for Marth rather than having her own specific character slot, would you still be for removing her non-tipper distinction?
