Not sure how reliable this site is, but

The fact the article still insistently calls the pokemon "Mewtwo's new form" even though the creators aren't confirming it (Even though we know it probably IS Mewtwo's new form) means the article writer has the bad habit of jumping to conclusions in his articles.

It's old news. Sakurai DID make a comment about Mewtwo though

"We are thinking about it." doesn't necessarily mean anything

Speaking of voice clips, but I do question if Marth will speak English in this next iteration. I mean the only reason the Japanese voice clips were retained was to emphasis his status as a Japan-only character, though that's no longer the case as of 2009.
I'm too lazy to get my 3DS but does he speak at all in Awakening?

Someone brought up how he fails to meet most of Sakurai's criteria.
Yeah, which I can both see and not see. Chrom is certainly popular, so I can easily see Sakurai et al getting creative with him, but there's also the fact that without creativity he might be bland.

Also, those comments are hysterical. :laugh: at the guy that just dismisses all four criteria as "doesn't matter".

Poor Chrom. I'm still rooting for you!

I like Chrom. I just find this change of opinion interesting.

I would say the trailer for the genesect movie is enough proof that it's a new form.

This is why Fire Emblem fans are quite literally the worst (no offense, all my best chums). The ones who are rational enough to say that Chrom is uninteresting turn around and go "Now, AVATAR on the other hand! Talk about Smash-worthy!"

Passion for mediocrity.

That's why I like Ike and Roy's my boy.

Well, Avatar would bring more to the table than Chrom, seeing as he uses both swords and magic.

The least I can wish for is to have Marth, Roy and Ike return. I haven't played Fire Emblem: Awakening yet (other than the demo), but I don't think an Awakening character is guaranteed to be in Smash 4.

It got confirmed as being a new form a while back, referred to as his "Awakened" form

While magic is fine and all, I honestly think with the possibility of Mii being playable, we have enough nameless avatars. I draw the line when the character is actually called just "Avatar."

Besides, there's only one Avatar worthy of being in Smash.

No offense, but what does Roy bring to the table that any other FE rep doesn't in order to justify his inclusion? Most of his popularity comes from Smash itself, not FE, where a lot of people don't like him, and he's still just a sword-wielding Lord at the end of the day. Ike doesn't need to justify his inclusion because he's already here, but pretty much all of the criteria that can be employed to shoot down Chrom also apply to Roy.

I don't want MU either, but he'd most likely be called Robin, the default name.

To be fair, this doesn't tell us much given that the likes of Pichu and Dr. Mario were never coming back anyway.

I could care less about what FE characters are in as long as Marth comes back I'm game. He's the only one I've ever played anyways.

That article pretty much confirms Mewtwo. At least that is my hopeful thinking speaking.

And for FE, I love all the potential characters so I am fine with anyone. It would be great having a female character from the series, seeing that would be the first female sword user in the series. You'll have more variety for the female part of the cast all while adding another female to the cast.

Lucina and Lyn may not have as much chance as Chrom or Ike, but I believe that have enough chances for a consideration at least.

Given all of his talk so far, I am pretty certain that we'll see at least one or two cuts. Most likely the expected ones like Lucario, but I doubt that he'd be going on about how stressful cuts are and how carefully they are made if we weren't losing at least one fighter.

That said, I sincerely doubt that we will see the kind of mass cuts that are being hysterically predicted so frequently around here.

Honestly, I think the new Forme is all Mewtwo needed. Do you know how HARD it is to think of a good Final Smash for him? Either Psystrike or Awakened Forme.

Could be a mixture of both. Transforming into his Awakened Form and unleashing Psystrike, before returning to the usual self.

This assuming that the Awakened Form is a stronger form than his usual form.

NowGamer seems iffy to me, anyone wanna confirm their legitimacy as personally I've never heard of the site.

If those articles are legitimate though, pretty much confirms Mewtwo and helps out Lucario's case for staying in. Tough to say what the other article says as it goes by bringing every Smash character back (not just those in Brawl), it definitely supports the idea of time constraints not "replacement" effect the roster more than anything. Also more evidence that the roster is not yet finalized.

Only thing I'm sad about is that Mewtwo is a good guy in the new Pokemon movie ):
I wish he was a villain.
