Possibly leaked DLC
They've found victory themes for both Roy(Fire Emblem) and Ryu in the data of the new update.

Has anyone already checked Palutena's Guidance for Mewtwo by the way? I assume he gets the stock/neutral one that was discovered in the game a while back but it'd be nice to know for sure.

EDIT: nevermind, just checked, it's indeed the stock one

Also re: Roy- There is already a playable character named Roy in the game (announcer audio file included). I dunno how much they'll let it affect them, but its something to consider.

I seriously hope this doesn't apply for all DLC characters, because that'd be very lame.
I also hope it's just a reference to that episode of the Pokemon animu
You know, that time where Gary battles Mewtwo and tries to analyze him with the Pokedex but fails because there's no data available. That'd be neat

There's also the fact that no special moves were made for him to add to that feeling.

No, it's results from the Smash community on Reddit. The results are extremely biased

How many people voted on the official poll, but never heard about the Reddit one? Or don't have the interest in making a post about their vote on Reddit? Or didn't want to make who they voted for public? Or don't use the Internet much, and only came on to make their vote and left? Or don't have their character represented on the poll (note that Other is in 2nd f#%$& place)?

The audience is different so the results are effectively meaningless. This is statistics 101

it's no indication of the results for the official ballot

How are people liking Mewtwo so far?

From game play footage he looks interested, but people are still trying figure him out.

I dislike how he is using Japanese voice for the international release instead of his English voices. It would be better if said something in Japanese, but from what I read up that what he says is cut outside of Japan. I was looking so forward to hearing his english voice and new voice clips. Well from what I read, he does have new voice clips, but the voice actor is doing the sounds from Melee which is bull crap.

If Roy does get in the game over anyone else (and yes, DLC characters are the only time "waste of a slot" becomes valid) I'll shoot myself

Well hey should we make Lucina actually different? Nah let's just sell another Marth clone later on

And let's make sure it's a terrible character who's only liked by people who haven't played his game

And let's have him over a Fire Emblem character who would be interesting in Smash

Like say

ANYONE WHO ISN'T ANOTHER f*** SWORD USER

My point was that the votes shouldn't be ignored completely.

if you keep doing this 'extremely politically correct video game discussion thing' im going to make fun of you

Edit: It's actually NOT the same melee voice actor.

As for how mewtwo plays, I think he's amazing.
He's the 2nd lightest character in the game, which sucks when trying to grab the ledge from a double-jump, but the floaty-ness really flows with his moves. He can actually combo this time, his side and down specials are the most useful moves to start combos instead of being the worst of his moves, he's overall great from my experience. I still have a long way to go with him when it comes to learning trajectory and combos but I really like him.
