I'd be more disappointed that he got in over Hades and Medusa.
I'd be disappointed in all of the above. Dark Pit doesn't deserve to be a separate playable character. At best, make him like the Male Wii Fit Trainer; his own voice, black wings, and separate recolors, but still just an alt of Pit.
Mewtwo was promoted as a villain character in Melee, so he still counts. If they bring back the same Mewtwo, he'll still be a villain now. That version of Mewtwo was based on a movie where Mewtwo was the antagonist, and he was pitted in the final event match alongside Ganondorf and Bowser, so if Mewtwo comes back I'd bet he'd be based on the original evil Mewtwo.
Exactly. I think that being a villain should be taken into consideration, but they shouldn't be added just for being villains but what they can bring to the game. Unlike how lazily Ganondorf was added; he has LOADS of untapped potential to be explored.

The Mewtwo in Melee was based on the villainous Mewtwo from one of the early movies featuring Mewtwo, and he was treated as a villain character in Melee. There's many different Pokemon, and in the case of Mewtwo, that specific Mewtwo was a villain. If they bring back the same Mewtwo, he'd still be a villain.Mewtwo is neither a newcomer nor a villain.
ITT: Two villains, an antihero, and three protagonist-antagonist flip-floppers are "generous."
The opportunity to throw in one or two unmistakably evil villains with this game is too good to pass up. . .which is likely why Sakurai probably did pass it up in favor of turning them into "Stage Hazards You Can Hit" (credit to @
The part about people not getting attached to villains and not caring about playing as them is wrong in so many ways. Personally, I can play as a generic protagonist any day of the week, but Smash is the single once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I have to play as someone like Ganondorf, or Ridley, or K. Rool outside of crap spin-offs.
Dedede was treated as a villain character in Brawl (in an event match just like Mewtwo), and yet he's back in more of an anti-hero form this time around, which is what will probably happen with Mewtwo as well (based off of the latest Pokemon movie).
Oh yeah, I fully agree, we need some real villains for a change and Mewtwo won't cut it. Granted, as I've stated before, they need to be iconic villains from important franchises; heroes always come first. Regardless, there are two perfectly good villains who are both extremely iconic and popular that would fit perfectly as playable additions in this game.
You better believe it. They're constantly at the top of the polls and they're the most requested Nintendo characters (even though Palutena was at the top of everyone's speculation list
). I wouldn't mind Medusa, but only if we get K. Rool and Ridley first. At least K. Rool and I could care less who else gets added to this game, everything else is icing on the cake (although a Ganondorf revamp would be HEAVILY appreciated, Sakurai! At least switch around most of his moves even if he keeps some of his old ones).
I honestly think they're all likely. I mean I imagine if it were some tight competition then Ridley and K. Rool would make it first, but it doesn't even feel like that to me at this point.You better believe it.

Mario series already has a lot of content as is and Rosalina was still added.
Sounds like a Final Smash to me.
So what would that do? I haven't played Kid Icarus in very long.Wrong Final Smash, bro...
Welcome to Smash Bros., friend.
Gorgon. GORGON. Naga are like centuars, but have the bottom halves of Snakes.
Tell that to the people who make Castlevania games.Gorgon. GORGON. Naga are like centuars, but have the bottom halves of Snakes.
Mario is the biggest video game franchise of all-time though, that's completely justified. Kid Icarus is one of the smaller franchises in Smash, one newcomer is plenty already.
Oh. That would work pretty well.
I just want Medusa for that literal-god-tier sideboob.I'm surprised that people aren't saying that Medusa is TOOSEXYBIG to be playable.
Maybe Medusa could get her own T & A trailer like Palutena's in SSB5.

With the leak right now, we've got the same amount of new franchises as in Brawl. I'd be surprised if we didn't have a few additional existing franchises getting padded out.
The fact that Medusa only has one game up on Hades is the only real detractor, but hey, Sakurai gave Medusa a badass new design as well, and Hades is supposed to be way more powerful than both Medusa and Palutena. It'd make more sense for Medusa to be playable than Palutena (plus Medusa would be the rare FEMALE villain rep).
People were convinced Medusa was a shoo-in for Smash from second one of the first Uprising trailer, all the way up until release when Palutena took things over hardcore.
