ALSO, Mewtwo's transformation would have to be in 1 second for this to work properly, and we know that's not the time it takes for him to transform. Actually Mewtwo changes form pretty quick. Go check the anime special.
It's just not worth it. It makes more sense to implement all of it into one single character. How so? A fun and unique playstyle isn't worth it?
Sheilding is not the same as switching between 2 forms.
How would that be a chore? It's pressing on button IF you want to change. But, why would you want to, it's really not gonna highten or lower your chances of victory or defeat by a noticeable amount. And before I go further, you're coming up with ideas for this. In order for this to work Sakurai has to be mutually thinking that Mewtwo can do all the same things you're suggesting. You're being so specific in how it works. Where does the predicting come in? Why do you predict Sakurai wants to do exactly this?Just because he hasn't done it before?
This is still an IDEA that everybody on Smashboards seems to like, we need to remember this is an idea and not a prediction. We don't even know much about Newtwo so how can we consider this a prediction? (he INTENDED for it to be an idea. It seems you skipped to the conclusion that he was predicting it would happen, he's not saying it's likely to happen)
Now THAT would be kinda boring. So is every character boring, now because they don't do that?
Again this IDEA should be for customization, not this one character. (no, Mewtwo would actually make sense as a transforming character, it would be cool for this being with two forms to make good use of both it's forms. He's saying it would be disappointing if Mewtwo only used one of it's forms for the epic combos and powers)
if Mewtwo is heavily damaged he could stay in his normal form so that he had a higher chance of surviving due to increased weight. If a good item appears on the other side of the stage, Mewtwo could switch to the Awakened form and get the item due to increased speed. Right, but in the end you'd be slown down, by the time your done transforming, someone else is running towards that item. If you're Mewtwo I highly doubt you couldn't get to the item in time. Being Newtwo is not essential to acheive that unless you suggest Mewtwo is extremely faster, but weaker than any character and Newtwo is extremely slower, but stronger than any character. Again this is going on assumptions that Sakurai has the same idea you guys invented.
Actually Mewtwo changes form pretty quick. Not quick enough, shall I time it? Assuming they didn't do clip cuts to make it seem like he transforms really fast so the trailer isn't long? (the speed of the transformation in the anime isn't that important, Zelda transforming into Sheik and vice versa takes a shorter time than when she transformed from Sheik into Zelda in Ocarina of Time, why should it be more important for Mewtwo?)
How so? A fun and unique playstyle isn't worth it? What you described doesn't sound very fun or unique to me.(that's your opinion, Noah)
What you are describing is more complicated than it needs to be and in the end is still just an IDEA.
