And I'm damn f***ing proud of it too.
You may be. But mom ain't. She wants a real man.

I heard her talking to someone else on the phone.

Something about "pushing his pencil."

Okay, you're DEFINITELY off your meds.

Now skedaddle. We wouldn't want to wake up Miss N3ON or Mister FalKoopa now would we.
Bark Bark Bark! Ruff ruff! BARK!


(translation: that's right old man jones! Back off! And we'd wake up Miss Venus too, but she's too busy guarding her cake)

Mewtwo + lucario =/= Mewtwo

X + Y =/= X

The two combined together as one entity (that entity being that which fulfills the niche) is a different thing altogether. You can replace one thing with a different thing, even if one of the additives to that "different thing" is the same thing. If I hand you a pile of sugar, then take away that pile of sugar and sand, are you going to say your sugar wasn't replaced? If not, then why not go ahead and still sprinkle it on your wheaties? You presumably will not, because sugar alone and sugar mixed with sand are simply different things.

If Mewtwo alone is X, Lucario alone is Z, and both is Y, then X was replaced by Y, and Y was replaced by Z. Mewtwo's niche was eventually passed along to Lucario. The only difference is, the middle-man of "Y, both of them," doesn't exist in game releases, because Smash went form one game with Mewtwo, to one game with Lucario.

Mewtwo alone and Mewtwo with Lucario are separate entities.
Are you kidding me? Mewtwo is Mewtwo whether by being with Lucario or not, adding Lucario doesn't make Mewtwo any different so Mewtwo can't replace himself. They are not separate entities because they involve the same person.

Really, this is making a mountain out of a molehill. If I gave you an Orange, took it away and gave you the same Orange with an Apple, is the Orange any different?

Not sure what you're trying to say. "We can mislead people to make them think they're completely different" isn't exactly a rebuttal. That doesn't solve the problem of them not being different enough.
No, your point was that what the masses initially sees is what is true, that has never been the case on its own. Being supported by the masses doesn't make it right.

I don't think both should have been in Brawl. Multiple characters fulfilling the same niche is a waste of space. I just have a feeling like Smash is going to rotate Fire Emblem characters and Pokemon. I'd have argued for "whatever generation 6's "special/movie pokemon turns out to be" a year and a half ago. It just happens to be that Mewtwo is getting special treatment, so I guess we rotate him back in.
Personal opinion has no jurisdiction on what happens in game, even if there were specific "niches," Smash has proven time and time again that they don't care and will use the same "niche." Lucas and Ness proved that, so even playing into your logic, that is not a good reason for Lucario to miss being in the game alongside Mewtwo.

No, characters were only cut once, you can't make a pattern out of one instance. There is no reason to believe that Lucario would be intentionally kicked out of the game instead of being alongside Mewtwo.

"Aura" and "psychic" are both "energy/magic." It's both using something that's immaterial-but-not. This would be on par with saying that if Luigi shot ice balls, he'd be a "different concept" from Mario because it's ice, not fire, when really, it's still just shooting an "element ball."
Not at all, Aura was used in a completely different manner then psychic abilities. Aura was used as basically a boost, making Lucario's damage output stronger or weaker depending on the situation, the Psychic abilities were used mostly as actual moves.

Second jump is undoubtedly a similarity, and there up-B is drastically similar. It's also very similar with Pikachu and Wolf, yes, but it's not unique like comparing Mario and Peach's recoveries, also same franchise characters.
No it is not, Lucario doesn't wrap like Mewtwo does nor does it carry any other notable similarity to it. It doesn't even have Lucario disappear in space. Again, you're trying to force this connection that was never there to begin with.

Whatever. Honeybun sleeps with that nut Johnknight from down the street. Compared to him you're nothing to worry about.

Sigh...I'd keep going on as Old Man Jones, but I need to get up early. And plus i'm pretty sure that all of Smashboards is going to think i'm a pedo now.

I'M NOT.

See you all later. Hopefully we get some sort of reveal tomorrow (I just think it's going to be tomorrow, as Toon Link and Peach were on Thursdays I think...) Regardless, I'm going to bed.

I'm an Entei.

This is an Entei.


It supports Mewtwo.

I support Mewtwo.

Support Mewtwo or we Entei's will burn you alive. (While the random Articuno and Zapdos peck your brains out.)

He gives better head then you could ever, you're very boring in bed. Like Chrom amounts of boring.
It's true. And that's exactly why we have this understanding. I'm too busy working my a** off to keep a roof over our heads and keep the kids in line to worry about s*** like that.

Bark! Woof! Woof ruff ruff bark! Woof woof!

(translation) OK that's enough acid for one day. Let's get back on topic. Time to step out of character. "sigh" I'll miss you, Poochyena counterpart of me...)

So uh, let's say K. Rool AND Dixie get in as playable characters. How would you react?

I'd honestly be fine with that. They're both cool characters. Plus, DKC is actually one of Nintendo's most popular franchises, so four reps isn't really that outlandish.
