Oh boy, rating time.
Initial: first off, screw numbering, I'ma just give my opinion without a scale. I liked the fact that Mewtwo was coming back, I enjoyed him in Melee, he's iconic to Pokemon and he meant more dlc.
Execution: At first, I didn't care for him. He played like Melee minus the Melee engine stuff. He was fun but obviously bad and I moved on. However, as the months went on and I kept trying more and more characters, psychic cat ended up becoming my fourth best. Yeah he's light and tall and his power is a bit underwhelming for someone with those flaws but he's a lot of fun. Once you learn how to be slippery with him he's a lot of fun and can actually be hard to hit. Easily my favourite dlc so far.
Initial: I really didn't care. I never used him in Brawl and I don't really care for Mother 3.
Execution: He's what I expected him to be minus the Brawl tech. I can easily say he's a pain in the *** to fight on FG since his PK Fire isn't as easy to deal with as Ness' but on the other hand, the Lucas' on there don't spam as much and he has weaker throws and a weaker up b.
Initial: Found it kinda odd that he was coming back especially since we already had Lucina but I enjoyed him in Melee so I was okay with it.
Execution: He's fun and he's my go-to character when I don't wanna give a ****. Just go smash happy and ya win, same as Mac...least against bad people.
Now before I go on to Ryu, I'll mention right now: I'm fine with Lucas and Roy being in Sm4sh but **** the decision to put them in before Wolf. My opinion might be different if we had legal access to their games so the love for them could be more justified but the fact that their entire fanbase is made up of people from one country legally and the rest are all people that had to translate and release the game through a rom is dumb. And I don't wanna hear anything about how difficult it would be for Nintendo to do it themselves when we have Earthbound Zero on the Wii U eshop which is Mother 1 translated. The inclusion of these two over Wolf tells me that Japan is the most important audience to please when Smash is big everywhere. And yes, I know people outside of Japan love these two from watching or playing their games and from Smash but Wolf has been around legally for the rest of the world to love and he's not in yet and has that same Smash love regardless of Roy's exclusion from Brawl. I only bring up the legality bit because if Nintendo had their way, no one outside of Japan would have any idea what Roy or Lucas' games are like.
Rant over, now onto Ryu
Initial: I honestly didn't care. Never played Street Fighter, found his inclusion odd since we already had Megaman but I didn't despise the idea.
Execution: His SF inputs are too much for me to handle, namely the red Hadoken and I think Focus Attack shouldn't have armor in the air cuz with him getting armor, being too high to grab and being able to cancel it, there are a good number of characters that are incapable of punishing his landings at all. Otherwise, he's alright. Pretty sure the recent patch made him a lot safer on shields though which could be a huge pain in the ***.
Overall thoughts/ TL;DR
Love him
Love the latter but **** them getting in over Wolf. Nothing against them or their fans but Wolf deserved in either at the same time or before them.
Don't give a damn for him.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a bunker to go hide in because any and every negative opinion gets lashed at especially when feelings are put towards it. COME AT ME
