Once again, these characters aren't included before anyone. They were once alt. costumes but because there was time and reason to give them a slot, they got one. It's like saying, "Well unfortunately we've added every unique character that's humanly possible in this time frame, we can't add anymore but we could squeeze in some clones". I seriously doubt that Sakurai just went **** Mewtwo, Dr. Mario and Dark Pit are better. Two more clones isn't making the roster significantly bigger, so it's not like Mewtwo was excluded just to make the roster bigger.Because they're costumes that got their own slots. It's ridiculous. "Let's add Dark Pit and Dr.Mario because they have different models!"
I cannot even imagine. These characters (clones) are just in to enlarge the roster. Clearly, Sakurai wants more characters in. But he also just ignored a huge, huge amount of fans. Adding Dr.Mario and Dark pit before Mewtwo is a slap to the face. It's like saying "Well, we didn't really want to add Ridley and Mewtwo. So here you go! Some clones with different colors/models!"
I can't see one logical reason to add those 2 characters but to piss off the people or because Sakurai wants the roster to have more characters but is too lazy to make new ones from scratch. Which he won't have to do, for Mewtwo at least.
What do you mean one of the big three?I can't believe of one of the big 3 is dead (King k rool)
please sakurai to make mewtwo a future patch release or dlc i beg of you
CMON SAKURAI mewtwo has to be importent like im sorry how many pages are there here.....thats right 300!
This has actually made me realize.Once again, these characters aren't included before anyone. They were once alt. costumes but because there was time and reason to give them a slot, they got one.

If Dr. Mario and Dark Pit were completely unique characters then there's reason to believe they were chosen over Mewtwo. But not when they're Melee level clones
There would be people asking Dr. Mario to return. Actually there are.This has actually made me realize.
I'm pissed off at Mewtwo being cut but...
The clones are just really irritating. For all we know the clones could have been planned long ago. But they were/are still clones. It's irritating that they get to take a place on the roster.
BJR has 6-8 different characters as alternatives and ( If what I heard was correct) Little Mac has 16 different alternatives. it's just wrong that Dr mario. Who has no one what so ever calling out for him to take a spot on the roster. What's even more irritating is Dark pit's existence. He was an alternative for Pit in Brawl. But no. let's give him his useless character spot.
It's not about it taking away chances from other characters. It's about how lazy and dumb that is. Very arrogant indeed. I feel like the only reason they had was to make people think that the roster was huge. Which it is. But some characters a lot of people think are useless.
We built up our hype only to realize the remaining characters were clones? That's such a di ck move from Sakurai.
I don't think anyone is happy that they can play Pit with a different color palette...There would be people asking Dr. Mario to return. Actually there are.
I think he got a spot instead of just being an alt. because he was a character in a previous game. I don't know why Dark Pit was chosen as a clone but if he wasn't in it then some other alt. costume would have been upgraded or it would have just been Lucina and Doc as clones.
But I don't think last minute additions are lazy, it's the opposite. It's putting in extra work just to get that extra character in. Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to do that with a unique character unless you delayed the game.
I also doubt Sakurai ruining your hype is a **** move. It's entirely subjective as to whether you think a character deserves a spot. Sakurai can't please everyone, so just because he didn't please you makes him a ****? There are people who are happy, even if they dislike some characters they still like others.
I literally saw someone yesterday saying they were ecstatic to be able to play as Dark Pit.I don't think anyone is happy that they can play Pit with a different color palette...
Did that somebody understand that they had the same moves? It's like being excited to play as White and red mario. Or Retro Toon Link.... just doesn't make sense.I literally saw someone yesterday saying they were ecstatic to be able to play as Dark Pit.
I am also extremely ecstatic to be able to play as Dark Pit. He was my most wanted character, by far. In fact, he was ahead of Mewtwo. Honestly, if Dark Pit was not in the game, I would probably be complaining about Mewtwo not being in the game. However, I lost my right to complain as I did get my most wanted.I literally saw someone yesterday saying they were ecstatic to be able to play as Dark Pit.
He was shown as a collectible trophy.How was King K Rool deconfimred?
I understand, but i really don't get that I've never played KI:U, so in my eyes Dark pit is still Pit with black colors from Brawl....I am also extremely ecstatic to be able to play as Dark Pit.

Why did you quote my post XDThis has actually made me realize.

They're pretty much what the clones were like in Melee.Ya know, I wouldn't be so pissed at the clones if they weren't literal palette swaps. Clones like Lucas, Falco and Wolf (Semi-clone) are what is totally fine. The clones in this game are garbage compared to the past clones. They feel so tacked on with no love.
F**king Dr. Mario...
...no. Lucario deserved to be back whether you liked him or not. Mewtwo should've been in the game in the first place alongside himI wonder if Lucario never got a mega evolution if they would have prioritized Mewtwo over him this time... Forgive me for saying this but I really think Mewtwo should have been prioritized over him anyways. Not like he's the most requested smash character or anything or has 2 mega evos and is more recently relevant with his movie. And I don't have any problems with Dr. Mario, but the only thing that bothers me about him is that Sakurai was thinking about cut Melee characters and thought "Hey, let's bring back Dr. Mario!" while Mewtwo is crying in the corner. I'll never understand that man's thought process.
I'm going to go ahead and get my hopes up over this whole DLC deal and the rumors about the Wii U connectivity and such, hoping it doesn't end with me crushed again.
I said Mewtwo should have had a higher priority being much more requested and relevant lately. There were even a lot of people who thought Lucario was going to get cut this time around until he was revealed. Mewtwo had a lot more going for him, yet got screwed again while Lucario who has been less relevant got in again. It makes no sense. I agree they should have both been in though, I don't hate Lucario or anything....no. Lucario deserved to be back whether you liked him or not. Mewtwo should've been in the game in the first place alongside him
Lucario was way more relevant and just as popular in the Pokemon community, especially at the time the game was being developed. He promoted BW2 (which is saying something since Gen 5 as a whole was marketed by pretty much solely Gen 5 Pokemon), was alongside the first mega evolved Pokemon, and was the first mega you got to use in X and Y, and was required to get. I fail to see why people thought he had any chance of being cut. I also cannot fathom why Sakurai did not include Mewtwo. Another reason why Mewtwo was more requested was because he wasn't in Brawl. Do you see people requesting Falco to stay in on a regular basis? No, because he is a veteran from Brawl. I do not mean to insult you or start an argument, but Lucario had no chance of being cut, so I wanted to clear that up.

I know that. If you read it correctly than you would know that he promoted a Gen 5 despite not being in Gen 5, which is an accomplishment because Gen 5 was marketed by mostly (not all) Gen 5 pokemon And he replaced Zoroark on some Pokemon show in Japan because nobody liked him as much.Lucario is from Gen 4 (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum) not Gen 5.
NopeDid anything happen at the treehouse?
Nah if I'm wrong I'm wrong, I won't start an argument over that. I don't think anyone can really fathom how Mewtwo still isn't in, if he's not back as dlc or anything I just want Sakurai to give Mewtwo fans an explanation because I really just don't get it. And if he's really just not back I'll be here in 2020 to support him for Smash 5 all over again. No Mewtwo trophy yet has me hopeful.Lucario was way more relevant and just as popular in the Pokemon community, especially at the time the game was being developed.

Polar Bear trophy is categorized under the "Other" category. I doubt it means anything besides just an easy enemy to implement since he was also in Melee and made a cameo in Brawl.I feel still has a good bad pun the ice climber poler bear pic pretty much confirms updates wii u transfer or dlc

A lot of things. for example: They played smash.Did anything happen at the treehouse?
Sakurai to fans: @ Oops!*Still reeling in disbelief that we lost Ice Climbers and gained Dark Pit and Dr. Mario but not Mewtwo*
If we're going to count the Pokemon Black 2/White 2 trailer as "promotion" for Lucario (which in my opinion barely counts because things like Arcanine show up, too, and Nate was bound to have 1 or 2 non-Generation 5 Pokemon on his team anyway..not to mention that the chase sequence is rather short), then things like the 2012 "return of Mewtwo" should count in Mewtwo's favor (where Mewtwo got his own mini-site, in addition to an event distribution and trading card game (TCG) coverage) in addition to Mewtwo receiving his own signature move Psystrike/Psycho Break during Generation 5 (as opposed to Lucario losing exclusivity to/association with Aura Sphere due to more Pokemon being capable of learning it as the generations go on - even Mewtwo can usurp that). I wasn't going to count Mega Evolutions due to their initial conception possibly predating the Super Smash Bros. 4 apparent roster finalization in 2012 (with the earliest Mega Evolution being made public in September 2013, although not by that term), but since they are mentioned, "Mega Mewtwo Y/Awakened Forme was the first Mega Evolution revealed to the public and the first to appear in the anime, even before Mega Evolution was announced" should count for something as well (derived from Mewtwo's Bulbapedia article), let alone Mewtwo being one of two Pokemon receiving two Mega Evolutions (both of which (Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions, I mean) now have un-surpassed Base Stat Totals). I'll give you the point about Lucario being "required" in Pokemon X and Y's gameplay, though.Lucario was way more relevant and just as popular in the Pokemon community, especially at the time the game was being developed. He promoted BW2 (which is saying something since Gen 5 as a whole was marketed by pretty much solely Gen 5 Pokemon), was alongside the first mega evolved Pokemon, and was the first mega you got to use in X and Y, and was required to get.

Saves me from buying an extra controller, I guess.Edit, just saw this: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/super-smash-bros-wii-u-will-let-you-use-your-3ds-a/1100-6422301/
Although this in no way confirms a lack of other crosslink features
Why would anyone want to use a 3DS to control the Wii U version. Sure It can't be worse than Wiimote, but still
Seriously? A character shouldn't come back because they suck? Why the hell did Kirby return for Brawl? Why the hell is Ganondorf back from Brawl in SSB4?I don't have time to read through 300+ pages right now but I really need to get this off my chest:
I like Mewtwo, but I rather not see him in smash brothers anymore. Here's why,
Mewtwo SUCKED in melee, bottom tier, and I'm convinced it was no accident though the normal dynamics of fighting games! Mewtwo was weak, slow, and light, a polar opposite of what he is. He is a strong, fast, and heavy pokemon and I don't understand how all 3 attributes can be turned around and not be intentional. Project M did Mewtwo some justice but I have no reason to expect the same from the officials.
Bottom line: I rather not see Mewtwo in smash at all than watch him fight like he has cancer.
This. Smash Bros is not a damn tier list competition, if a certain character sucked in the previous game you rework and IMPROVE that character.It's **** like this that is cancer. Seriously? A character shouldn't come back because they suck? Why the hell did Kirby return for Brawl. Why the hell is Ganondorf back from Brawl in SSB4.
Character performance/balance should not contribute to a character's inclusion/exclusion
So, what if they fixed him?I don't have time to read through 300+ pages right now but I really need to get this off my chest:
