So the Pokemon: Origins special just finished airing. Was anyone else able to catch a stream :) ?

Seeing Mewtwo 1-hit KO Red's Articuno was amazing. Good to know Game Freak still remembers how to make Mewtwo incredible.
I heard it was on Tokyo TV but it's over now and I can't find an archive anywhere. :(

Damn that stuff was insanely intense, but of course Charizard would prevail in the end because lolmegaform. Not disappointed on how they executed Mewtwo though, as he still had that "ultimate Pokemon" kind of feel to him like back in the day. That and being more savage like its game self.

Kinda said this before in the social thread, but after getting knocked against the wall by Mega Zard X, who thinks Mewtwo should've made a comeback with his own X form, for a repeat performance of what he did to Charizard before its megalution occurred?

I know Zard overwhelming Mewtwo was just fanservice though for the most popular pokeymanz of all, in addition to it possibly getting more treatment from the megalutions than the other starters, but still.

True that. Charizard was not one of the... better of the original three, as we all know, and I hope they showcase the other alt. forms of Blastoise and Venusaur latter..

Catching Mewtwo with an ultra ball? Oh come on. Yeah, it's possible, but you're not supposed to be able to do so.

I guess they had to explain why he was bothering to weaken him through battle in the first place.

Also, when is the SSB4 Character Analysis thread going to get to Pokemon? I want to hear his opinion on Mewtwo before the next Pokemon reveal.

To all those who are wondering who will get a slot as a Pokemon representative in SSB4's tight roster, I present to you the Smash-Pokemon Representative Analysis System.

Popularity:
0 - This Pokemon is largely overlooked both officially and by Pokemon fans
1 - This Pokemon possesses a cult following
2 - This Pokemon is relatively prominent within the general fandom, or is popular by virtue of being related to a popular Pokemon
3 - This Pokemon has a humongous and lasting following that the Pokemon Company has been known to directly cater to

Iconography:
0 - The layman would not at all be familiar with this Pokemon
1 - This Pokemon is only recognizable to those more studied in the Pokedex, or was only temporarily symbolic
2 - People who pay at least a small amount of attention to Pokemon would likely be familiar with this Pokemon, or it is iconic by virtue of being related to an iconic Pokemon
3 - This Pokemon is eternally branded as a symbol of the series, and is instantly recognizable, possibly even by non-fans

Relevancy:
0 - This Pokemon is simply not a very large player in the franchise as a whole
1 - This Pokemon's time in the spotlight has passed, or has been given cursory attention recently
2 - This Pokemon is still acknowledged by, active in, or directly related to recent Pokemon happenings
3 - This Pokemon is getting top billing in marketing at this very moment

Pikachu - 9
Mewtwo - 9
Charizard - 9
Squirtle - 8
Lucario - 8
Ivysaur - 7
Jigglypuff - 5
Pichu - 5

You need a minimum of 5/9 to be feasibly added to the Smash Brothers series.

First of all jigglypuff would be a 6 and pichu would be a 4

Second of all you just described why mewtwo is most likely to be the second pokemon character to be confirmed

You did great mario & sonic guy

And why are people still assuming the alternate forms are going to be his normal state (aka not in final smash form)

Im positive mewtwo classic form will be the non final smash state

People take relevance too far. Since Mewtwo is promoting Mega Evolutions... people think he will always be Mega Evolved. I have to agree with you. Mewtwo will be Mewtwo and he MIGHT Mega Evolve for a Final Smash. Sora Ltd. might just ignore Mega Evolutions in general. I know I would if I was Sakurai.

I think he's trying to point out that Mewtwo is one of the reasons why you should have a Master Ball in your arsenal. But I guess if you want to advertise something, you need to take the hard road.

I can understand that, however, in The Origin, they say they never finished the Master Ball. Seeing how Red reacted to how it was getting made, I don't think he would have accepted it.
Also I think hes forgetting one of Mewtwo's biggest weaknesses in the classic R/B/Y, Sleep.

I highly suspect fraud. The model for Mega Mewtwo Y looks much like the fan-made one.

Also,

I think its fraud i mean true the screen darken which is correct for a final smash. But the mewtwo Y form being revealed first is iffy. True the character box is classic mewtwo but that mewtwo Y WOULD NOT BE MADE THAT POOR. Its the hd version for crying out loud

Fake or real, those kind of images make me feel all the more justified in thinking screw having mega forms as final smashes altogether, at least for Mewtwo.

Fraud, I highly doubt that we would get such a thing, given that it isn't from a reliable source.
/v/ has plenty of game leaks. The fact that the board is made up mostly of trolls doesn't mean **** (especially when the "troll" reputation comes from the assumption that /b/ = rest of 4chan) if anything that encourages people to post there, since they won't be taken seriously, and the anonymity certainly helps. Of course there are plenty of "fake" leaks, but the "uncredible source" is actually a lot more likely to be the source of a leak than most other boards.

Of course, the issue with this is that despite the large number of actual leaks there's still an even larger number of fake rumours, so at the end of the day the ratio of actual leaks to troll leaks is about the same

Crossing fingers indeed. But not really betting on it. I mean, he'd need one of those fancy "Newcomer" trailers, which no doubt take quite a long time. Or maybe he won't? Who knows... I doubt he'd have as quiet a reveal like Toon Link or Peach before him, though.

Just in case not everyone that comes to this thread visits the signature icons thread, courtesy of my request. ~

Not sure if I'll use 'em just yet (have them saved to my photobucket in case), but I guess I sure as hell will if no one else does.

I sense Mewtwo getting confirmed... either tomorrow or Friday. I am unsure if it will get a special video like Sonic did, a special cinematic of sorts like Mega Man and Wii Fit Trainer did, or if it will get one at all.

I wish they could make the Pic of the Day a video revealing Mewtwo. That would be sweet.
