What do you think of Mewtwo's chances in SSB4?

So... do you think Mewtwo will be playable in the new Smash Bros.? I think Greninja has pretty much ruined his chances. What do you think?
 
I once thought he was a shoe-in, but Greninja AND Charizard being a seperate character has kinda made him a bit more questionable. Mewtwo still has a strong chance if there's room for 6-7 Pokemon though. But only if.
 
Well, a team has room for 6 Pokémon. There are 4 confirmed, so Mewtwo and Jigglypuff are the last two.
 
Actually, I think Sceptile would be more likely, as Grass/Fire/Water.
If we have six, Sceptile and Jigglypuff
If five, Jigglypuff
 
if there's only five pokemon it's most likely between him and jigglypuff and i think jiggly is the more likely of the two

if there are six then they're probably both in, i don't know if they really care enough to finish the trio of starter types and the gen iii remakes may be too late to affect anything

Well I once thought it was too late to include a Gen 6 Pokemon considering the game came out during Smash 4's development. So I think we can't really predict what exactly Gamefreak will want in the game.

Who knows, maybe Gamefreak will even push for seven reps. Pikachu, Lucario, Greninja, Jigglypuff, Charizard, Sceptile, and Mewtwo. Even if those who already think Pokemon has too many reps won't be a fan of that.

If they do that, Mario needs to get 6 or 7 reps, too.
 
Seven reps is overkill, IMO, but I won't be complaining a lot since it does add opponent variety.

Mario doesn't have over 700 unique characters, though.

I like how a lot of those are generic NPC Paper Mario characters

And Pokemon creatures are any less generic....how?

Moving the goalposts doesn't make your point any stronger

Pokemon are just creatures you capture and use them to battle. That's hardly "unique characters". That's like saying Spore has unlimited unique characters.

Well the Paper Mario NPCs of the same species all have the exact same abilities

But your point was that Pokemon has over "700 unique characters"

One, I'd hardly call evolutions of another Pokemon "unique" and that normal weak Pokemon you encounter first in games unique either and two, your definition of what exactly constitute as a viable character is rather weak.
 
My gender is some people's largest upset.

But, care to rebut my sister?

Seven reps sounds a little much. I'd be content with 5. The four we have plus Jiggs. If we bumped it to six it would be a toss up between Mewtwo and Sceptile.

Okay, fine.

Honestly I'd rather have a slow bulky quadruped like Swampert than another speedy Pokemon ala Greninja.
 
I'd be disappointed if it were Sceptile OR Mewtwo, because I think having more characters that AREN'T bipeds or with a humanoid build would be interesting, and Pokaymon is a great place for that.

Besides, it would make modding a bit easier.
