If the worst happens, sucking it up and doing nothing but praising won't bring Mewtwo back either. I don't care for begrudging Sakurai personally over a character or something either as I've said elsewhere, but that doesn't automatically make him or the new Smash exempt to criticism... The game will have its pros and cons like anything else, and Mewtwo not being in will be a legit criticism just as it was with Brawl, even if it turns out to be a good/great game (which I'm sure it will be) or better than Brawl.
Hm... It might be more likely for Mew to have an Ancient Devolution than Mewtwo then, when you think about it. Or at least it'd make more sense, awesome as Mewtwo having one would be.
Pokémon was planned to have 7 reps in Brawl, which includes Mewtwo and Prai+Mai who are thought to have been Plusle and Minun.
I believe Pichu's file was also in there too. Also, I'm hoping that Pra-Mai become playable... Or at least on the disc / cartridge again. It would be nice.
Pichu's file wasn't there.
NOOOOOOOO MY DREAM HAS FALLEN!Pichu's file wasn't there.
The state of Mewtwo really suggests that he was well along early in development and either just wasn't coming together as expected or wasn't gelling with the rest of the cast or Sakurai/TPC/The Powers That Be just decided that he wasn't worth whatever trouble his inclusion was causing. That's a lot of data for someone who was 'rushed'. It's very, very common for developers to simply dummy out unused data, because finding it all and removing it takes precious dev time, whereas just disabling the ability to activate said data is far simpler, and likely was done in Brawl's case. Maybe the assets were there with the anticipation of being made a Boss? Maybe the assets were there because he WAS rushed? It's unclear, but simple logic seems to suggest that he wasn't cute for time, he was cut because he just wasn't working.
I'm not sure. I don't think Mewtwo as a boss would be very good. Like, yes it would work, but I feel it'd be a slap in the face to all Mewtwo fans. I think it'll be character or bust. Though is overwhelming popularity and importance to Pokemon as of late gives him enough eligibility on the roster.
If Mewtwo took on his Gen 1 form, I can see it becoming a boss. Thats his Gen 1 form though, and I doubt they will revisit that after how OP he was.
True, but, and I do not assert this as necessarily fact, Mewtwo may be considered Boss material for one or more of several reasons.
I'm not doubting if it can work or not, I just cannot see Sakurai taking a character as highly demanded and popular as Mewtwo and simply putting him in as a boss.
A. I don't think there was truly any complications with Mewtwo's moveset or whatever. I'm pretty sure the only reason he was cut in Brawl was because of time constraints. Since he's been planned for all the other ones, I can see him being planned again, and if he's not in, it will most likely again be due to time constraints.
....you're new so I'll let it slide.....
It also could be an abbreviation of "Every character" as Pra_Mai is an abbreviation for it. We won't know until Sakurai says who the mystery person is.
I agree with this sentiment; there is no way Mewtwo is going to be a boss character, even if he is deconfirmed.
The only pokemon I think should be a boss is someone like Groudon or Palkia or Yveltal. Bosses in video games will be transferred as bosses into Smash. Thats why Ridley is a boss in the first place, as well as Yellow Devil.
/terriblelogic
Technically Mewtwo would be considered a boss character if that was the case. Secondly, Ridley was not confirmed to be a boss character, so your precedent is literally just one example from a 3rd party franchise.
Mewtwo COULD be a boss character. While I say he would make better sense as a character, he could be a boss. MARIO could be a boss if Sakurai decides. 2nd, Ridley was not 100% confirmed, but it is convincing and I have been convinced. 3rd... you're right.
I...didn't say anything about Ridley, but okay.
Sorry about the confusion, but I was speaking to Morbrid, but eh.
Lysandre was a horrible villain. Then again I did like his boss fight, and it would be cool in story mode that Red would cross paths and they would do battle!
Yeah, him as a character wasn't that great, but fighting his team right after Xerneas/Yveltal was fun.
Even dumber than adding a dot as a playable character? Or adding a bug as a playable character!?
No, it isn't.
Apologies sir. Forgive me.
This doesn't change anything, really. We knew that the other Hoenn starters were very likely to get Mega Evolutions as soon as the games were announced. I still believe that the games are simply too late in Smash's development to have any impact on the roster, and that Sceptile himself is still not at the same level as Blaziken in terms of being an iconic Pokemon. The only reason he's considered over Blaziken is because of his type, and we don't even know if that means anything to Sakurai.Uh oh

A mega sceptile confirmed.
But mewtwo still has a decent chance.
Diancie confirmed.Uh oh
http://pokejungle.net/2014/06/07/july-corocoro-leaking-mega-sceptile-swampert/
A mega sceptile confirmed.
But mewtwo still has a decent chance.
I for one am supporting the Acro Bike.Diancie confirmed.
So you just see Mewtwo and Jiggs rounding off the Pokemon roster?
Exactly, Blaziken is far more likely than sceptile and swampert but Blaziken isn't getting over jigglypuff and mewtwo, although if pkmn gets a 7th rep then it would easily be blaziken
