Mewtwo in Super Smash Bros. 4
Universe	Pokémon
Other playable appearance	in Melee
Availability	Downloadable
Final Smash	Psystrike

Mewtwo will be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 as a downloadable character in spring 2015. Mewtwo's appearance in Smash 4 also makes it the first character in all of the series to be downloadable after the game's release; it also makes it the second cut veteran to return for Super Smash Bros. 4, after Dr. Mario. Mewtwo will be free to download if a player owns both the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game; whether Mewtwo can be bought separately is currently unknown. Mewtwo was confirmed to be a playable character during a Nintendo Direct on October 23, 2014. Its developmental graphic design was shown for both the Wii U and 3DS versions and, like Charizard and Lucario, its proportions more closely resemble its appearance in the main Pokémon games, with a smaller head, lighter skin and more bulbous fingers. Its design was also revealed to have been completely different than its trophy in the 3DS version. Its release announcement can be seen here. Before Mewtwo was confirmed to be a playable character, Masahiro Sakurai had said that he was considering making Mewtwo playable.

Trophy

Mewtwo's trophy as it currently appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

While not playable at the release of the game, there is a trophy of Mewtwo in the 3DS version. Upon its playable release, it is expected to receive trophies that match the format of other fighters (a pair of trophies that describe some of its attacks); it is currently unknown what will happen to the existing Mewtwo trophy.

Created from modified Mew DNA, Mewtwo was designed to be the ultimate Pokémon. It didn't take on any of Mew's kinder traits and only uses its intelligence to destroy its enemies. Or...so it seems. Perhaps it just feels frightened or even tormented, and that's why it lashes out. Whatever the reason, Mewtwo is not to be messed with.

Trivia

• Mewtwo's trophy has different features than the eventual design of it as a playable character, such as having smaller eyes, and a lighter shad of purple for his midsection and tail.
