Been gone all day which is why I'm only now posting again.

Happy belated birthday Kiwi...

So much yes! I can't wait to see this new Super Saiyan God mode Goku has in action.
There's leaked images on how it looks appearance-wise, and I have to say I was kinda disappointed. The fan-made SS5 images **** all over it in the looks department, or even that infamous golden SS4 pic. Am sure it'll still be an awesome form in action though.

It's funny that in the same year Goku and Mewtwo get new form(e)s.
Looks like they'll need to re-do the Goku vs Superman fight. :awesome: What's perhaps more funny though is how the new villain is a humanoid psychocat like Mewtwo.

@Ridley Prime

I'm not looking forward to the new DBZ movie. It'll be just like all the other DBZ movies, boring and predictable.

Honestly, the only good DBZ movies are Lord Slug, Fusion Reborn, and Cooler's Revenge.

Now Dragonball Movies, those are awesome.
Unlike most of the other movies though, this one's actually canon, thus retconning GT (for anyone still arguing that GT was canon at least), and no. It doesn't follow the same usual predictable formula of Goku ultimately beating the bad guy with spirit bomb, fusion, dragon fist, or some ****, surprisingly. (spoiled it for myself by reading most of the script)

Both the Cooler movies and the Bardock one were the best previous ones IMO. Lord Slug I thought was one of the worst, but to each their own.

I forgot it existed.
Me too. One of those fun things I probably should've played more in Smash.

For those wanting to put Newtwo on their roster, UberPyro64 from GameFAQs made a picture: http://imageshack.us/a/img818/505/iconnewtwo.png

Not going to change my roster since I do expect Mewtwo to return in his original form but with Newtwo as his Final Smash, but just wanted to share this.
I like the one by _Super_Shadow_ better .
We need one with both on there as well.

Kind of like the Zelda/Sheik one.
Just made one.

With the announcement of a new forme of Mewtwo or just a new Mewtwo-like Pokemon, I have updated my SSB4 roster to reflect that.

You all do realize that Newtwo or whatever its gonna be called doesn't completely detract MEWtwo's chances of being in.

Also, in my opinion, Zoroark's chances are slim to none now. But that's just my opinion. I'm not a developer for Smash 4. By the way ,remember when Serebi had those vague Pre release Brawl hints?

Sure, it won't keep Mewtwo out of SSB4. Keep repeating it and you'll start to believe it. Whatever helps you sleep better at night. :troll:

People need to get this in their heads....


No Matter how popular MewTwo and Roy are, they will only be included if there was no cuts in their respective franchise (Sonic and Snake are guest characters for them leaving the roster =/= being cut) ....For example: If Ike was cut ? Roy will never come back, or If Lucario was cut ? Well MewTwo is a special case....but you get the point.

Fair enough. Bardock Special is great. But like the Trunks one, it's not a movie. It's an OVA special.

Bardock is actually my favorite DBZ character.... Well, till he was ruined recently.

I think I'm the only person alive that really liked that one DBZ movie called Dead Zone, and only marginally enjoyed some of the others (Fusion Reborn, Bardock, and the Cooler movies).

Ike > Roy in terms of priority
Mewtwo = Lucario perhaps? Maybe Mewtwo has slight priority now though.

Why do you think that Pokémon and FE will receive cuts? Both Ike and Lucario are popular even today. No reason to cut them.

Cuts aren't OUT OF THE QUESTION, just, we don't know how necessarily they are this time around. With Brawl we found out about cuts pretty early on.

I strongly believe that Sakurai will attempt to bring everyone back for this game (with the possible exception of Sonic & Snake). So I don't think he will announce cuts on Nintendo characters and that if there are any, we won't find out until the game gets released (and they would be due to time constraints).

Sonic & Snake, on the other hand, we will likely find out early if they will return or not.

It, quite frankly, depends on the desired new direction for the series and to make room for new characters.

Sonic is not going anywhere, if anything he may get more development this time around. Not sure about Snake but I doubt they cut him as well because of his popularity.

Mewtwo is more advertised than Lucario, as such more people know who he is. It seems like there's always an event for a Pokemon game including Mewtwo, as such:
Mewtwo>Lucario
I don't think that Lucario should be cut, though. The roster would look cool like this for Pokemon:
Pikachu
Charizard
Jigglypuff
Mewtwo
6th Gen Rep
Charizard because he is the 2nd most popular Pokemon(?)

Couple problems.
Pokemon Trainer should stay.
Mewtwo can now qualify as a Gen VI rep.

So Brawl Pokemon + Mewtwo/Newtwo should work out perfectly.

Going off by the assumption that a reboot doesn't happen (which I think will be the case, Smash 5 seems more likely for a reboot). But if a reboot does come to past, lots of cuts would occur.

Sonic is third-party. I'm not saying he will get cut but given the nature of third-parties, he could get cut.

Saying a character will never come back is a bit of a stretch. "Never" is a very strong word. Where are you getting the idea that they can't get in without another character being cut anyway? There is no evidence of that, and therefore all you are saying is your opinion.

This is like me saying that Sakurai could decide to can Ike because he decides he hates him, and replace him with Roy. Or hating Lucario and replacing him with Mewtwo. I really in fact do NOT get your point.

Lucario and Mewtwo are both so HUGE to Pokemon that Smash could easily afford to have them both. In fact Pokemon's best route would be to go no cuts and add Mewtwo back.

The Pokemon roster will look like this:
Pikachu
Jigglypuff
Lucario
Mewthree
Pokemon Trainer Red

I would also love to see any or all of these:
Pichu
Plusle and Minun
Pokemon Trainer Gold

But I think those guys are unlikely.
