Is the initial release just a late beta/gamma test?

Easy for you to say. Get put in a room with 2 mac's after you was all sorts of fun.

Because Mewtwo can't have any bad matchups... There's tons of characters that struggle when there's multiple Macs.

Just saying in some stages and especially if you go into FG FFA's you will be in the thick of things regardless. Sometimes keeping your distance isn't an option. And let's be honest getting Mewtwo into Kill percent in FFA is rather easy.

I'd say Robin is worse off then Mewtwo... Requires space at all times and isn't even decent in 1v1s,

Point is that there's worse balanced characters then Mewtwo. This ain't a beta test, we're stuck with him.

Robin has high priority aerial attacks, great projectile game albeit limited to uses within a set time period AND has a Dsmash that deceptively hits on both sides with a fair bit of range on both ends too.

I'd say play your cards right and Robin can create the space he needs. He's also heavier and lives longer.

He's not great at getting KOs though. Yaknow, the important part of FFAs. Mewtwo is, and again he's more mobile so he can avoid chaos and snag items. Robin really isn't that good because he needs to charge Thoron in levels, where Mewtwo will eventually get that fully charged Shadow Ball.

Um Robin can store his current charge by shielding or rolling just like Mewtwo or Samus can. Guess I just don't like being campy in FFA. I want to get in and tear stuff apart.

Not exactly. Robin has to charge whole levels for it to count, a trait only shared with DK. A fact exploited well in the Pit vs. Robin matchup.

To put it more clearly: if Robin interrupts, say, a charge from Elthunder to Arcthunder, he'll have to start charging
from the beginning of Elthunder all over again. You can't just start and stop charging to build gradually with this guy.

Also, unless you're playing on a giant stage like Temple and/or you have Sonic/Yoshi level mobility,
almost every character has a hard time when every other player is determined to kill them.
