Mewtwo (ミュウツー, Mewtwo) will be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 as a downloadable character available some time in the spring of 2015. It was confirmed to be a playable character during a Nintendo Direct presentation on October 23, 2014. Its appearance in SSB4 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 and registers them with Club Nintendo by March 31st, 2015; however, Mewtwo will also be available to buy separately at some point.

Mewtwo's 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 existing trophy. 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 both versions. 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, a shorter tail, and a lighter shade of purple for its midsection and tail. In turn, both its playable model and the trophy differ slightly from Mewtwo's model in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, which has larger and rounder eyes than either of the two (to match Mewtwo's official art by Ken Sugimori).
• Mewtwo is the only playable Pokémon in SSB4 to not be the evolved form of another Pokémon.
