Since Super Smash Bros. Brawl was released, there's been a lot of arguments about who's a clone, who's a Luigi, and who's completely unique. Here... WE shall decide! The choices are as follows:
Luigi (Mario Clone)
Ganondorf (Captain Falcon Clone)
Toon Link (Link Clone)
Falco (Fox Clone)
Wolf (Fox Clone)
Lucas (Ness Clone)
These characters are widely considered to be Brawl's clones. Which do you think are REALLY clones?

I really don't think Luigi is a Mario clone at all. He was in the N64 version and Melee, but now he is very different.
Also, I don't think Wolf is a clone of fox. He plays so differently.
The only characters, in my opinion, that are clones are Toon Link and Link. One is a slow, powerful version and the other one is a faster version. They still play very differently though. Ganondorf and Captain Falcon seem more different this time around. Gandondorf's up-B has an uppercut at the end. His side-B doesn't knock away the enemy, so it can be used to set up a small combo (or for a Ganoncide). I don't know if any of his smashes, tilts, or aerials are different off the top of my head.
There are some characters that could be considered Luigified. Overall, I am very happy at the lack of clone characters.

i want to also say that Luigi isn't a clone of Mario,remember they are brothers so they would have some of the same moves.
I really wish Falco didn't have some of the same moves as Fox. I hate that they have the same Final Smash.
Toon link is suppose to be like regular link, and I feel that Gandondorf is pretty much a copy of Captian Falco. I like Gandondorfs final smash better.
Wolf is by far not a clone of Fox.
I'm not sure yet if Lucas is a clone of ness. I really like Lucas better for what ever reason,I just find he is easier to play with.

All except Wolf and Luigi are clones.

Luigi is far from a clone. He plays completely differently now that he only spawns one coin if he doesn't hit point blank with his most powerful move, his far different A-moves, and even his Final Smash is different. Heck, he always played differently.
Lucas also isn't a clone. There are a zillion differences between him and Ness. I'm talking Luigi different. The only thing that's really the same is the Final Smash.
Falco isn't a clone anymore now that Fox's blaster lacks the ability to Flinch people. His Blaster is now slower, he has the d-spikes and Fox doesn't, some of his moves have minor differences, but most importantly, the A-moves are far different from Fox's. You could argue that his and Fox's Final Smashes are the same, but I disagree. Wheras with Lucas and Ness it doesn't matter because both of those are easily dodged, the Landmaster isn't unless you're R.O.B. (Robo Burner beats Landmaster!) or a similar character. In Falco's case, his relies on Arieal combat and actually does less damage then Fox's in a lot of cases if he isn't.
Wolf is also Luigi level different from both of his so called "clones". His blaster is far different and actually does more damage up close, his side-B is at an angle, his Up-B gets multiple hits, leaving his Down-B as the only one not the same. Not to mention the vast differences between his A-moves. His Final Smash is actually the least deadly out of the group since his doesn't last as long.
Ganondorf is pretty close, but he doesn't get there. The main thing to point out here are the A-Moves, again. His Up-B and Side-B are different, leaving that excuse a folly, and his A-Moves are moderately different. They are different enough, though, to differienate him from the captain.
That leaves Toon Link as the only person in that list who's a clone. One's lighter, faster, and has shorter reach, and the other is heavier, slower, and longer reach. Uh, yay?

I don't think any of them are clones at all. Wolf is waaay different than Fox, Falco has been changed and not a clone anymore, he throws his reflecter, spins around, slower, jumping is different....
Ganondork is much different in Brawl now, like his side B, which has a grab then pow thing, and when in the air, SLAMS the enemy down! He's bigger and slower too, and stronger. His final smash is much different (and a big cooler, and easier to hit enemy with) and some other stuff too I think, just can't remember everything from the top of my head.
Lucas is easier to control with Up B, a powerful and slow Up A move, doesn't have a yo yo, is a bit faster too I think, but normal attacks aren't as strong.
Luigi, as many people have said, is not a Mario clone... he is way different. As always, his fireball is straight and doesn't fall and bounce. His Up B, when used right, can kill the enemy. Final Smash, of course, is also different... he doesn't have a cape, he launches himself like a missle, his Side A move is a bit different..
Toon Link is the closest to being a clone, but he is faster and weaker than link, and he has a normal boomerang, not a gale(sp?) boomerang, his bombs are different and bigger range, but not as powerful. His bow is different, and doesn't seem to go as far or do as much damage, not sure though. His Down A is much different, such as being faster.
