A lot of characters have issues like that, sadly.

Samus is one obvious example. Her neutral B move doesn't really represent any beams from the games and is just a generic energy projectile.
Beside that, I find it insulting that they didn't make use of the ice, wave or plasma beams for her alternate moves. Surely someone on the team must have played at least one of her games? The fact that Samus can bomb-jump in smash means at least someone understood her abilities to some degree. Her final smash being a generic huge beam blast is also problematic. She has at least two endgame death beams that would have been perfect for a final smash but again this potential is ignored.

Some more variety for certain characters would be nice too. Imagine how badass it would be if Toon Link had the skull hammer as his down-smash.

And of course there's Falco's landmaster as Koopaul mentioned. Why is this still a thing? It's as though Sakurai doesn't even care about the character.
