Mewtwo Heading to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS on April 28, Lucas Planned for June

During today’s Nintendo Direct broadcast, president Satoru Iwata announced that Mewtwo will arrive for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS on April 28 alongside a few new balance changes, making the classic Pokémon character the first piece of downloadable content created for the latest installment of the franchise.

First? Yep, you read that right, because the cast will continue to expand in the future, starting with Mother 3 protagonist Lucas. Though he previously appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the young fighter failed to make the transition with fellow Earthbound representative Ness. He is planned to arrive sometime in June.

Furthermore, the developers want to know what other Nintendo characters you’d like to see join the Super Smash Bros. cast. By visiting the official ballot, you can suggest whatever video game figure suits your fancy and provide a brief breakdown of why you think they should be included in the games.

With this news in mind, it’s easy to envision a long and fruitful future for the competitive Smash community, and it should be interesting to see how the cast expands in the coming years. Feel free to let us know which characters you’ve told Nintendo about in the comments below.

Push Your Cammy to the Limit in Ultra Street Fighter IV

When Ultra Street Fighter IV came out, many players feared the worst for their characters of choice. Sweeping changes to game mechanics as well as specific tweaks to the moves upon which we’d been relying for a couple of years at that point seemingly spelled doom. Cammy found herself among those characters who felt the brunt of these alterations, specifically regarding her vortex.

In the video below, CharmingRogue hopes to show everyone that her vortex options aren’t dead. They also aim to help those Cammy players out there who survive on throwing random divekicks (I use the word survive lightly) grow into players with actual setups that reliably deliver on damage and followup options.

Check out the video below to learn combos built around optimizing okizeme situations, how to handle the corner, and various character-specific and standard combos to keep the damage flowing.
