Just to provide a counterpoint, if they could do it with Captain Falcon...A lot of Captain Falcon's moveset is carried over from Dragon King, the game Smash Bros. was going to be before it became...well, Smash Bros; after all, I doubt Sakurai would have wanted the time spent on developing Dragon King to go completely down the plughole, so he probably took what existing assets they had and applied them to one of Nintendo's human(oid) characters, which could mean that both Fox and Samus also take assets from it.
One thing I've noticed with Ultimate is that Sakurai hasn't been as inventive with movesets compared to previous Smash games, because there's a lot of re-used Normals flying around (particularly amongst the DLC characters) and even a few of the unique moves seem to be inspired by another character or don't exactly diverge too greatly from their source inspiration (a lot of the Belmonts' moves seem to boil down to "throw whip in X direction", which barely differs from source and not exactly diverse), so I wouldn't go expecting any character that has a super unique made-up moveset with this info in mind.
