About the whole Jigglypuff/Ness/Lucario/sticker/playable character thing:
I have found a conclusion(s) that can lead to something about the SSE.
I used colors just to try to make things easier to find/read. Conclusions are colored green, this does not mean that I think that the conclusion is a thing that is good or something I like, i just used the color
Same with the Colors used for the "list of reasons" title/headline things. I just used dif colors for the reasons to make them easier to find.
Sorry for long post. To make it shorter and simplier i will just make it more like a list. Please no negative comments, if you don't agree or don't think something is likely, just say so. This is not a list of: 'This will happen and I want it to' Conclusions. I just want some discussion :D
Part One is right below, Part Two is past the halfway mark about, it's about Mewtwo still being in Brawl.
Part One
+++++++++++++++++
Some possibilities from info/evidence about Stickers, Jiggly/Ness/Lucario leak, and may be other stuff.
List of Reasons 1:
1. DOJO says that Chars with sticker power ups are only powered up in SSE. Although this could just be because they think that the power ups could result in unfairness in versus matches, it can have another reason.
2. If they did allow chars in Versus to be powered up by stickers, then people could have complaints about things like this: Ex: 'Weee im going to use stickers to power up Lucario! Wait, nvm i dont want to do that because i cant use Lucario in Versus, and if i waste my stickers on him and my friends use their stickers on playable chars in Versus mode, they're gonna be a lot stronger than me! I will use it on Mario isntead. Later: darn i wanna use my stickers for Lucario but i shouldnt! SSE is so much harder tho without stickers. this is frustrating.
List of Reasons 2:
1. some chars in SSE will be purposefully be made more powerful than others, and they will not be playable in Versus cus they too strong. (hopefully tho, if this happens, they'll make 2 dif Versus modes, 1 is for all chars including powerful chars, and the other is for 'Official and fair' chars. and hopefully they will decide to make 2 dif Versus modes too, 1 for sticker pwoer ups and the 'official and fair' without)
Conclusion 1: Some characters in SSE are playable only in SSE and cannot be playable in versus mode.
-----------------
Conclusion 2: They won't have 2 dif Versus Modes, 1 with the overpowered chars.
-----------------
Conclusion 3: Ness and/or Jigglypuff and/or Lucario will not be playable in Versus Mode. (or they will if they make 2 dif Versus modes. if they do, they could be put into 1 of them.
List of Reasons 3:
1. Nintendo could have showed those icons on purpose (in the How to Play video).
Three reasons:
- They wanted to 'entertain' (may be thats not the best word) cus they know some of us are getting really impatient, so they wanted to show us that to make us more patient.
- It was a test to see how fast leaked info would get out, so if they did leak more info they'd know how fast it would be discovered, if most ppl would believe it, and/or how much more it makes us patient (may be it makes some ppl more impatient tho)
- They just wanted to trick us and have fun - probably not likely
2. DOJO says something like : 'Ness, who has been in the Smash bros. series until now'.
Conflusion 4: One or a combination or all of the following: Ness, Jigglypuff, Lucario (MAY BE its not Lucario, but probably is) may not be in Brawl
Part Two
+++++++++++++++++
Reasons for Mewtwo still being in Brawl
1. The trailer, or at least that part of the How to Play Video, could have been made a few months ago. A few months would be enough time for bug testing, AND MAKING Mewtwo. So, may be they did not put him in the game yet.
2. Mewtwo cannot be powered up by groudon. May be it's because he's an evil character, and you cant play as him, cus he is like Wario/Bowser with the Trophy Guns, so he does not appear.
3. If Mewtwo is playable in SSE, it could be the type of Pokemon he is that Groudon does not power him. May be Groudon's effect was something like: Less knockback, which makes sense cus Groudon is a Ground(or mud?) pokemon, and he is big and heavy (translators, could you translate the description of Groudon's sticker please?), and the knockback may not apply to Mewtwo because Mewtwo hovers insted of walks or something like that. May be the sticker powers up you Head or something, and Mewtwo does not fight with Headbutts, etc.
4. They could have been blanking out the icons, but they only blanked out Mewtwo (and may be more?), but forgot to blank out the rest. Or may be the people who were responsible for making that part of the video were trusted, but they did not finish in time or they forgot to finish it, and there was a lack of communication so the people who presented the video trusted that they'd take out anything that would leak info, but they didnt know cus they were not contacted in time. So that is another reason.
5. This is not true and those who posted the video/pics were just tricking us (probably not likely)
6. They might not have unlocked Mewtwo yet when that part of the video was taken place.
7. Mewtwo's just not in SSE, he's a secret secret character. 1st 'secret' because there are secret branches off of the SSE where you unlock some secret chars. 2nd 'secret' because he's not even in a secret branch in the storyline.
8. The Reasons from 'List of Reasons 3'
If Mewtwo's in Brawl, i think the biggest reason he was not with Jiggly, Pika, PT, and Lucario(may be hes not Lucario tho!), is because he's an evil char in the SSE and therefore you can't play as him.
If there is a special mode you can unlock where you play on the evil side of the SSE instead of the good side (Mario, Kirby, Yoshi, etc.) then a reason why he is not able to be powered up by Groudon is just cus you can't power up evil chars in the evil mode.
What makes me think that its something related with Nintendo tricking us/testing how fast leaks get around, is that the DOJO said something like: 'Ness, who has been in the Smash bros. series until now'.
But then again, that statement could also mean 'Ness, who has (known to have) been in the Smash bros. series until now, (BECAUSE HE"S A SECRET CHAR OMG!!!!, and you guys don't know about it yet so that is why i said 'until now' "
Sorry if my organisation is bad and/or if this is so long
I wanna hear some ideas and discussions! 
I have found a conclusion(s) that can lead to something about the SSE.
