Did you ever read Sakurais development interviews? He actually sounded pretty remorseful when ask what characters will be in Brawl. "Unfortunatly, I was not able to include all of the characters from the predecesor and some charactes will not be making a return in Brawl" He also stated that this was due to development limitations.
Yes, I remember hearing that, but words cannot compensate for the characters that were lost.
The thing is, Mewtwo was already MADE during his time. Matter of fact, from what I've heard and the facts I've seen, Mewtwo AND Roy were completed characters... but were cut in favor of
Wolf and
Sonic. Of course, the Wolf-Sonic thing is just speculation... but there's no denying that Mewtwo and Roy were very developed characters... ESPECIALLY Mewtwo, whom they found voice work, programmed moves (Shadow Ball, Teleport), the Classic Mode "CONGRATULATIONS" picture, and even him yelling his Final Smash!
Agreed, ROB is one of those chracters that got in by Sakurai's damand. So like Pichu, he was one of those, WTF chracters of the rouster.
I'd... have to say Mr. Game & Watch was the more WTF character in that game.
Yeah, instead of having ROB and LUCAS Mewtwo and Roy could have been on. Although, I liked Pichu, but he was a toughy, and very easy to kill. Although Rob was more annoying and just not neccesary.
Pichu was all right... Granted, I used him more than Pikachu due to his deceptive strength, I really don't see much chance of him returning. His popularity has just dwindled far too much (though, amazingly, he seems to be receiving quite the bit of support).
As for Lucas... What's up with everyone hating Lucas? Was it because his game never made it outside of Japanese shores? I really don't see why there's so much hate for him. Play his game, THEN decide whether or not he's just some crybaby. Sakurai obviously ruined Mewtwo's image in Melee; good chance Lucas's was soiled by his mere showing in Brawl's Subspace Emissary.
Really... Think about it.
THIS
Mewtwo, definetly deserves to be respected and definetly has to re-appear, as for Melee, I only mained him briefly, though I had stopped due to his lightness, other than that he is perfect the way he is, just with Armor would be nice.
Mm, I really don't see Mewtwo ever wearing his armor, given that that reference is from the Pokemon
anime and not from the actual games.
However, what would be really kick@ss is if GAME FREAK allowed that armor to be incorporated into future Pokemon games as a special Mewtwo-only hold item... perhaps boosting his defenses so to combat the more modern Legendaries (those suckers are getting difficult to contend with).
MAKE THE REFLECTED PROJECTILE HURT THE OPPONENT!!!
I 100% concur with that. That was one thing I never understood about that move. Fox and Falco could reflect AND hurt the opponent; why didn't Mewtwo get the same treatment?
Leave it to Sakurai to screw up awesome characters like that.
a mewtwo flavored version of lucario would be sweet. we could reimagine mewtwo by using parts of lucarios moveset and such with hacks.
NO. PLEASE no. As good as an idea that may sound, the Mewtwo fans would get SO much heat from the Lucario fanboys, sending in their mockery up the yin-yang. "OH LOOK THE ALL-POWERFUL MEWTWOS A LUCARIO CLONE HAHA CUT HIM STUPID CAT CLONE"
No... Just... no. Mewtwo is fine the way he is. Just beef his moves, lessen the lag (forward smash), apply the inescapable-combo physics (A,A and up-smash), get rid of some of the tail moves, and he'll be all set.
Yeah, I've seen that. Awesome texture hack.
However, it will never, ever come close to being a suitable replacement for Mewtwo.
