Mewtwo Too OP for Smash?

[BlackSheepOfSmash]

Do you think that Mewtwo should've been too OP to become a playable character for Smash? Why?

No, not really - you can just put in a canonically OP character and not make them OP, it's not difficult. I do think Pokemon rep in Smash is quite poor as almost all the picks are cool, fully-evolved Mewtwo-types instead of cute or unconventional Pokemon, but Mewtwo isn't really part of that, since it predates that problem really starting to form with Lucario's addition, and is just kind of a sensical addition regardless of context.

I'd like some more unconventional picks for Pokemon too, but since when is half "almost all." Ultimate has a perfectly even split between the two.
