Sakurai Confirms Mewtwo Release On The Horizon

[Xiivi]

With only ten days remaining to register your copies of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U at Club Nintendo, the question still remains of when exactly players will be able to see him in action. Thankfully, it's looking as if the gap between the registration deadline and Mewtwo's release won't be that large. In a recent interview airing on a live Nico broadcast, Sakurai explained that the endevour was "pretty much done" and that "we plan to release Mewtwo pretty soon". Sakurai also confirmed that more details would be released in an upcoming announcement.

What awaits us in the announcement? Will we get a new character trailer? How will Mewtwo's release impact the metagame? Share your thoughts and hype with me on Twitter. -Xiivi

Will the DLC be buyable at some point after the code's have been sent? I am really hyped. ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!

SECOND POST
well for announcement

talking about mewtwos moves

(and im not talking about the miiverse and tourney mode offline/online)

 

[SchAlternate]

[ThatLunaticFeline]

I AM READY

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

APRIL 1ST HYPE!!!!!!

 

[Globe]

It surely doesn't take this long to make one character.

Well I can't say I know cause I've never made a game.

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

Get hype!

 

[JDavisR (NIX)]

My body is most definitely prepared for this moment

 

[EarthBoundRules]

Anyone who wants to fight a character other than Mewtwo on For Glory, now's your last chance.

Imagine if we got a trailer for him. I can just imagine... the screen fades in from black. We see machines and containers, before the camera zooms onto a door, it opens, and it's dark behind. We hear a voice saying "We dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokemon"... two blue eyes lights up... the voice continues: "And we succeeded."

The Mewtwo theme song from the first movie starts playing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJy7xY9HR0Q This is a good remix of it, used in PM, the part I'm referring to starts at 0:30) before text appears, saying "Mewtwo Strikes Back!".

One can only dream

 

[Absol]

Mewtwo will suck. I can confirm my dad works for Nintendo and mew2king

 

[Gidy]

WHY DID YOU CLOSE MY THREAD MODS

ANYWAY

 

[Moon Monkey]

2015 is too good Mewtwo and Frieza both make their return

He wants to make him the perfect Diddy counter, remember?

I'd like to see Mewtwo come out of a Master Ball rather than a Poke Ball like the other Pokemon in this game. It would just be a cool little detail.

they are probably going to make a trailer for him.

 

[RobinOnDrugs]

Cannot wait for the upcoming announcement. The due date is drawing near.

that or similar to lucarios is probably what his/her entrance is going to be in for glory mode.

(by her its possible of genesect voice mewtwo but i am very very confident its going to be male because sakurai probably knows the fans prefer male voice mewtwo.)

 

[Jose montesinos]

Brace yourself the Hype is coming!

 

[Tino]

I'm more interested in this announcement than Mewtwo coming out. Wonder what it'll be.

 

[Sabaca]

We actually KNOW that it doesn't take this long. Because of how many charakters we have and how long it took to develope this game.

 

[pkdrawing]

Lucas and Ice Climbers will be bundled with Mewtwo Kappa
Or something else I mean it's been a while.

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

Totally going to attempt to main.

 

[CamJamSlamMan]

Kind of hoping that it's taking a while because Mewtwo is getting a massive overhaul as far as its moves go; wasn't a big fan of Melee Mewtwo.

 

[Soul.]

Good to know Mewtwo's coming. Now all we can do is wait until the Pokémon is released.

 

[mario123007]

I really hope Sakurai can release more DLCs over the next few years... maybe not just characters, but stages.

For Glory mode doesn't have different entrance animations than other modes, lol.

All of those and not Lucas, I hate you now
P.s. You also forgot Pichu

[proxibomb]

If a trailer comes with the DLC, my legs will explode.

 

[Xermo]

Smashboards hours late with the news, as usual

 

[BlueX]

MEWTWO!!! I WILL TRY TO MAIN YOU!!!! HYPE!

 

[Deleted member]

Mewtwo better get a trailer showcasing buffs to a majority of his moves and completely new side and down specials.

 

[AuraShaman]

MEWTWO!!! I WILL TRY TO MAIN YOU!!!! HYPE!

Yo, he's gonna be everyone's main! He'll be showing up more than Little Mac in For Glory matches!

Mewtwo better get a trailer showcasing buffs to a majority of his moves and completely new side and down specials.

B...but I like PM Mewtwo. Ç^Ç They did so much to caramelize his moves. I don't care if his Disable is cheap

I see what you did there

What is Lucario's entrance? I haven't paid any attention to that character.

 

[◥θ┴θ◤ | JJ]

ATTENTION SMASHERS! JUST HOLD ON!

MEWTWO IS ON THE WAY!!

 

[Banjodorf]

YUSSSSS!

Also this should mean a Direct is very soon. HYPE!
