Basic Trope: A character has an identical moveset to another.

  • Straight: Trope Fighter has Alice, one of the main fighters, and Betty, an unlockable character with Alice's moveset.
  • Exaggerated:
  • Downplayed:
    • Betty has a few moves unique to her.
    • Betty has no moves unique to her, but uses an assortment of moves from other fighters, which means her moveset is still unique even if the moves themselves aren't.
  • Justified:
    • Alice and Betty were taught by the same fighting instructor.
    • Betty was a literal clone, created by a Mad Scientist, who also replicated Alice's fighting style.
    • Betty was Alice's student.
  • Inverted: Betty looks exactly like Alice, but her moveset is unique.
  • Subverted: Trope Fighter advertises Betty as a clone of Alice, but Betty has a different fighting style.
  • Double Subverted: Well, different visually, but it works the same way as Alice's version.
  • Parodied: Betty is introduced as a Joke Character. She has Alice's moves, but her versions of Alice's moves have a lot of goofy quirks.
  • Zig Zagged: Alice is a character introduced in Trope Fighter 1. Betty is introduced in Trope Fighter 2 using Alice's moveset, but in this second installment, Alice has changed her moveset.
  • Averted: Everyone has their own movesets.
  • Enforced: The game director notices some empty slots on the roster, and the developers were pressed for time. The director suggests filling the slots with moveset clones.
  • Lampshaded: "Hey, that's my drop kick!"
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: The game director rejects characters that share a moveset with another.
  • Discussed: "Where did you learn to fight like that?"
  • Conversed: "Why is it that some fighters fight the same way?"
