I think this really comes down to Mewtwo v. Aigis, and I think Mewtwo wins that. Burst Smite is gonna suck, but I don't think it's gonna OHKO- Mewtwo's got pretty high SpDef and HP and both Luminaire and Palladion's attacks struggle to OHKO their respective bosses. Aigis is in a similar situation with being able to Diarahan off the DK Punch and Psychic, but the difference is the fifteen second brainfry. My team has a few extra seconds to set up, and I think they'll be able to make good use of that between DK's knowledge and ability to use the teleporters. Both aces have a good buff game, but Mewtwo's gonna have more time to get them up, as well.

The next big hurdle is Cappy on DK. If I'm lucky, DK has set up his own little gorilla warfare moment (he DOES have teleporters only he can use), and that'll minimize the damage done. If I'm not lucky, I think there's only so much he can do to Bowser in 15 seconds and Mewtwo won't let him get in range. That also takes Mario out of the equation for 15 seconds, so I'm picturing Crono and DK getting a quick doubleteam on Bowser while the aces do their thing. It'll suck but it's survivable, and the long game favors me I think.

I think Mewtwo and Aigis will be a war of attrition. Both have powerful heals, but I think Mewtwo can keep Recovering a lot longer than Aigis can keep Diarahaning- Diarahan is pretty expensive and SP isn't a strong suit of Aigis. I think Mewtwo's got her beat on damage output as well, which will help cover the difference between 50% Recover and 100% Diarahan. Its best attacks don't cost HP, either! Mewtwo's got maneuverability for sure, with high base Speed, Teleport, and maybe some flight.

The lowbies are roughly a push, IMO. Mario's beaten both of my guys, but usually by avoiding direct combat- he doesn't really wanna get in a straight fight without any axe bridges or rafters to help him. See also: the movie trailer with DK in it. I don't think the Kart is gonna help him on this jungle terrain, I don't think the Slingers will do great with all the cover (and if you disagree, I don't respect it more than the Coconut Gun anyway), and Mega Mushroom is temporary. Crono's also tough but my guys are real tanky. I'm not sure who wins that fight but I'm not sure they have much left to swing Mewtwo/Aigis anyway.

I think this is a tough fight, but I think the home field advantage, the extra 15 seconds from Psychic, and Mewtwo's sustain options will swing it despite Cappy.

I wrote all that up forgetting that Aigis was tracking DK. That probably doesn't end well for DK but that also probably means a free round or two of Psychic
