In the game, there's a "Movies" menu, and one of the videos listed there is a tutorial on how to play the game. It's very easy to learn, but of course there's a lot of depth to master. No complicated button inputs, though. The controls are extremely easy, and all of the moves have super-satisfying feedback.
Perfect, that sounds exactly like something she'd enjoy

As in "Heathcliff"
BTW, not sure if everyone saw it, but the other day Nintendo released a clean screen of Mewtwo (I.E. not a screencap from the Direct):
Knowing Nintendo, he'll probably come out the same day Isabelle is available for Mario Kart 8. Always feast or famine with Nintendo.
Yeah, I saw the screenshot. I had to say that he look pretty GOOD.
Did they said that Mewtwo would coming out in early Spring? I know Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8 DLC is coming out during May 2015.
Yeah, they said early spring. I guess May isn't "early" spring -- more like "right before summer" spring -- but it's still spring.
They've enhanced Mewtwo nicely. In retrospect, his head was a bit bulbous in Melee. They've really fine-tuned all of his proportions, while still making him look more lithe and capable than he does in the actual Pokémon games.

His new design is anime.
I'd say his new design is also reminiscent of how he looks in X/Y. Just more menacing.
Mewtwo as a free DLC incentive for owning both versions is kind of brilliant. There aren't too many Nintendo characters left who are "household names" in the way Mewtwo is. As arguably the third most popular Pokémon after Pikachu and Charizard, he has real star power, and thus selling power.
I eagerly await his return!

mewtwo looks so beautiful
although I think his head here actually is kinda bulbous LOL

It needs to be somewhat bulbous, otherwise it diminishes the fetus symbolism.

I really, really hope they update Mewtwo's moveset. Come ooooon Psystrike!
Not as bulbous as it used to be:
I remember melee looking a lot better in my head lol.

Mewtwo really looks great. I'm happy for all you Mewtwo fans - it's been a long time coming.
God, this stage is so cool. I can already tell I'm going to be playing it a lot.
I agree. I feel for fans of all cut characters, including Snake. It's a crappy thing to have your main or one of your favorites cut. I may not miss Snake personally, but people tend to get downright nasty about him and treat his fans really badly. I'm not looking forward to the same thing potentially happening with Mega Man in Smash 5...
This stage is beautiful. Can't wait to see more of it! My favorite part is definitely Wailord just chillin' there in the Water-type arena. He's massive.

I'd be down for something new, but I'd also be perfectly happy with his Melee moves. So many touches I love -- the zigzagging Shadow Ball, the tail thwacks, the way he levitates items and hovers when dodging. But whatever they do, I'm just happy he's back in the game. Mewtwo is like... a time capsule from my childhood. He embodies so many fond memories of playing Pokémon with friends, and the awe I used to feel toward legendary Pokémon.
I think some of the Snake venom (pun intended) is because his series has always been a Playstation icon. You'd expect him to headline PSABR not Smash.

But if they didn't update Mewtwo's moveset at all, it'd be uncomfortably similar to Lucario, right? They'll have to do something to differentiate it a bit more, especially if it's not coming until Spring 2015.
But that's exactly what made his appearance in Brawl so unexpected and fun. Don't get me wrong, Mega Man and Pac-Man are far better, more appropriate/fitting inclusions in my opinion, but the venom toward Snake fans isn't justified simply because the character is more of a PlayStation icon.
The only move he shares with Lucario is forward smash, and maybe neutral special if you squint.

Makes sense.
Not as bulbous as it used to be:
I'm preeeeeeetty sure that's a mod (haven't played Melee in forever but Mewtwo's lighting looks way off), but regardless I'm referring to the forehead. SSB4 Mewtwo's is quite round.
In any case, it's fascinating to look at from the perspective of the character's evolution. I'm just hoping they use the Melee actor and not the one from that Genesect movie, lol.
Edit: And like I asked before: just replace Disable/Confusion with cooler moves and I'm okay with whatever they do the rest (though I'd prefer a balance of new/old moves).

Oh, okay. I was never a huge Mewtwo player and am not a Lucario player, so I'll take your word for it. But still, I was under the impression that Lucario "replaced" Mewtwo in Brawl in terms of his moveset in general feel (while still adding elements unique to Lucario).
I mean, they do technically share the same neutral special, right? Shadow Ball?
Yeah, Snake was fun to play as, but didn't fit at ALL IMO.
Sonic is the best fit because of the Nintendo/Sega history. If anything, I'd like Tails so we can do a Mario & Luigi vs Sonic & Tails match. My second grade dreams come true.
Megaman fits. He's had tons of representation across nintendo systems.
Pacman was a cool idea. Mario really dethroned him as a gaming icon back in the day. It's like he's coming back for revenge.
But Snake? Well...I guess it makes Kojima's kid happy he was in Brawl? But he just doesn't fit.
Your kind heart and smart maturity are a wonderful anomaly on the Internet, Ash.
As a fan of Snake in Brawl, I appreciate the understanding. I'm 110% content with the roster in Smash 4, but I'd be over the moon if, say, Konami and Nintendo teamed up for Snake DLC -- Nintendo benefiting from more hype for Smash, and Konami using it to promote MGSV. Whatever happens, I'm perfectly happy with Smash 4, but I'll always have fond memories of Snake and what he brought to the series. Shadow Ball behaves differently from Aura Sphere, it undulates up and down while Aura Sphere travels in a straight line. Samus' Charge Shot has more in common with Aura Sphere than Shadow Ball.
Lucario did not replace Mewtwo, Mewtwo was planned but got cut because of Sonic.
My memories are a bit fuzzy, but I recall Mewtwo having some crazy move you had to use right next to your opponent, and it effectively put them in a stun state, as though their shield had broken. He sent a small bolt of lightning from his forehead into their forehead, or something. He had to be like right next to them.

It's also worth pointing out, that Lucario barely got in Brawl.
Which implies that both Lucario and Mewtwo were the last ones to be added before Sonic came into the picture.
I dunno, I remember some fun shenanigans with it back in the day. I can see how it'd be difficult to use in a competitive setting, though.

I really hope they bring back the Special Movies from Melee. Always loved them and I used to watch them a whole lot.
And I also hope that Mewtwo keeps his best attack animations in Smash 4.

That's Melee. And he looks almost exactly like his art in smash!
A worthy sacrifice, if I say so myself.
Prince Sable allowed me to make lewd pictures like this:
Something something Anaconda don't, something else something else, HawethorneKitty Avatar Quote. Maybe the Patrick guy, too.
Man, that'd be cool if we were getting another Pikmin anytime soon. At least we're getting those shorts? But I do want to see where they go with the Plasm Wraith from here. And I'm still cool with him being a playable character some day in Smash.
I wonder if that crash at the end of the game was a new Captain? Or Louie falling out of the ship?
I'm sure they will add Cloudtop Cruise; it was really popular. And I'm disappointed, too. That's why I really want there to be a W101 DLC pack with a fighter and a stage. I'm totally with you for the Guyzoch Space Pirates theme on Lylat Cruise/Orbital Gate (Or Sector Z, if that happens). I also liked the idea of Tables Turn playing on Wrecking Crew. How about Won-Stoppable 101 on Wily Castle? Gah... I really wish Nintendo put in the effort to make it their next big IP.
I would be cool with his entrance being a Master Ball, but...
...but now I won't take anything less.

I just hope Mewtwo keeps his forward throw with the mini shadow balls. Best move ever.
The rest of his moveset they can do whatever.

Goddamn whales smoking all our weed!
I know we've established what move it is, but the fact it was disable is sweetly ironic.
It makes sense, though. For Wailord to weigh 877 lb. and be 47'07'', the thing'd have to be lighter than air! Add the fact that it's a whale out of water, and I'd float like that, too!
So there's no way you'd think they'd do an "all star" version of every stage, would they? I mean all star in the way a stage is in all star mode, the basic structure and movement are in each, but a lot of the randomized hazards (Warioware minigames, flying man, etc) absent.

We can't forget the most OP move ever!
Oh man, his throw was so badass
I love his Melee forward throw, but I like how PM replaced it (Mewtwo does Minimize on you and then throws you). Not as bad ass, but still pretty neat.
This is seriously why I want that Boss/Hazard Toggle; there's clearly one programmed in the 3DS version for All-Star mode! Why not just make it something you can turn on at any time?
Although for a second, I read this like you mean an "All-Star Stage" where elements from every stage would be present at some point. I know I've been singing praises about that Boss/Hazard Toggle since, well... Brawl? But that'd be too chaotic for me to be mad at.
Wailord gives me warm fuzzies. When I see him, I think back to when Ruby and Sapphire hit Japan, and the sprites were first ripped to the Internet. Back then, we all knew about the first form, Wailmer, from the pre-release hype. But it blew my mind when I saw that the ball-like Wailmer evolved into an even more humongous, freighter-like Wailord! And who wouldn't want to hug that thing? Friggin' adorable. :-3

Who said Lucario barely got in Brawl? He seems pretty clearly planned from the beginning, considering he had a big role in the Subspace.
Beelzebufo

Maybe because of the thing about the Brawl team working hard to get him in?
Sakurai said in an interview that Lucario was a character where they only managed to squeeze him in because the team was really committed and willing to work extra hard.

Lucario joined the battle for the first time in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which was released six years ago. The production staff of Brawl worked really hard to expand the character roster--without their efforts, Lucario probably never would have joined the battle.

He's said that about a lot of stuff that would have been planned early on.
I do have to wonder if maybe they quickly swapped Mewtwo with Lucario in the subspace though, although a couple scenes wouldn't make too much sense, his main thing was being able to sense Snake on the Halberd, and Mewtwo could have also done that.
Lucario plays way too much of a part in the subspace to be a rushed late addition.
I think what really happened is Lucario was planned from the start, but he was something Sakurai apprehensively agreed to when his staff convinced him they'd be able to pull it off. So in that sense, we don't necessarily know if he was "worked on" last.

so, new thread before today's POTD goes up?
All of these mewtwo images and gifs are getting me so hyyppeeee! Hopefully he gets the vastly superior Mewtwo Y as a final smash!
It also just occurred to me that 2 of the 7 fighters that were found in Brawls code have now been confirmed in the game. Is it possible that we might be getting the other 5 as dlc in the future? Maybe not plusle and minun (3ds issues if they work like the IC), but i could definitely see Dixie and Toon Zelda/Tetra making the cut.
