Alter Fighter

An **alter fighter** is a character whose movesets, animations, and/or properties are directly based off of another character on the roster, though tend to have a few unique moves or mechanics to make them feel different, usually making them appeal to a different niche or playstyle. Alter Fighters are directly based on 'Echo Fighters' from *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*, with them both being slightly altered fighters, though whereas Echo Fighters usually only have different animations or one to two different moves, Alter Fighters are made to be more comparable to semi-clones. Alter Fighters are grouped up with their parent character on the character select screen, though can be made to only be next to them on the roster instead.

## List of Alter Fighters

The following is a list of all Alter Fighters currently present in *IndieVisible*, alongside their parent character and any similarities and differences. As of now, there are currently 5 Alter Fighters in the roster.

  Ellie Rose |  Henry Stickmin | Ellie Rose has far fewer items to choose from in her specials, being only 5 items compared to Henry's 25. However, these items, unlike Henry's, are all likely to have at least some sort of worth, overall making Ellie slightly less luck dependent and more reliable in most situations at the expense of the vast versatility of Henry.
  Curly Brace |  Quote | -
  The Lost |  Isaac | Compared to Isaac, The Lost's attacks all deal around twice as much damage and knockback as Isaac, making him much better as KOing opponents with strong attacks. Being a ghost, The Lost is also slightly floaty in the air, as well as possessing better air speed and two additional mid-air jumps, greatly assisting his recovery. However, The Lost is far lighter than Isaac, and happens to be the lightest character on the roster, making him far easier to KO. The Lost also has a unique gimmick in the form of the Holy Mantle, which slightly reduces the damage and knockback he takes by 10%, and can save him from strong attacks, reducing the damage and knockback dealt at the cost of removing the mantle for the rest of the match until The Lost loses a stock.
  Jebus |  Hank | Compared to Hank, Jebus is slightly heavier and slower than Hank, and is slightly more floaty in the air, as well as having an additional midair jump. Jebus is also slightly stronger than Hank, with his attacks, although a bit laggier, being able to deal more damage and knockback. His TAC-Bar mechanic is also quite different, with him only having two bars, but with both being slightly stronger than Hank's. Jebus' TAC-Bars also make him slightly faster and stronger when he has them, with him losing these buffs when he loses a TAC-Bar. Jebus' side special is completely different, though is similar in that it makes Jeb travel forward. Jebus' up special travels higher than Hank's, but deals no contact damage, and his down special is also different, though is still a counter.

## Trivia

* Coincidentally, all Alter Fighters as of now have a monochromatic skin tone, being white/grey.
* Curly Brace was originally supposed to be one of Quote's costumes, but was changed to an Alter Fighter once the idea of them came into fruition.
* If one considers UNDERTALE and DELTARUNE seperate franchises, *The Binding of Isaac* is the only franchise with an Alter Fighter to have more than one character, excluding the Alter Fighter (Isaac and Greed)
