As many people know, it has been confirmed in Japan that 35 characters will be playable in Brawl. However, this is also the first time in the Smash Bros. series that some characters will no longer be playable. Some characters include Mewtwo, Pichu, and Roy. Why they decided to take these characters out is unkown, but people speculate that they were mainly clones. But what about Mewtwo? He had a unique moveset back in Melee. Well, it appears that Mewtwo’s moveset has been passed to Lucario. Some people may be disappointed that not many characters were added from Melee to Brawl, but if we analyze the situation, we can observe a pattern. Back in Super Smash Bros. for the N64, there were 12 characters in total. Then, in Melee, 14 characters, including Sheik, were added. Finally, in Brawl, 21 characters from Brawl returned. The ones that didn’t make the cut were Doctor Mario, Pichu, Roy, Young Link, and Mewtwo. This time, another 14 characters were added to Brawl, just like in Melee. This means that 60% of the characters in Brawl are Veterans, while 40% are Newcomers.
