Yeah I don't buy Mewtwo getting the jump on Aigis. Her reaction times are inhuman. In that scene JC talks about she picks up on all these things and then in a split second knocks the two dudes out with thrown buttons from her clothes. I think Mewtwo's faster, but Aigis keeps up fine and he can't shake her off. It's going to be a very long and protracted slugfest for him and he can't afford that because Mario and Crono get a 2v1 (using DK's body! DK's got way good combat specs in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat) against Bowser and then have a very large matchup advantage against the two wounded beast boys.

I seriously can't stress enough how much stronger than whatever default most people think Mario has he is in this writeup, BTW. He's an actual, no-bullshit gunner who happens to have some nasty extra tricks on top. Not to say DK and Bowser don't have a significant glowup compared to what you'd see out of them last Mercs iteration, but Mario's is much, much larger. He could take on either one of Bowser or DK head-on and win without terrain gimmicks helping him. It's not a great situation for Mewtwo because he's gonna end up 1v3ing sooner than later and all three of his opponents can put out pressure on him. I think he beats Aigis solo (if you think he doesn't die to the dual tech), but she's not alone. Can Mewtwo prevent her from casting Samarecarm to full-rez Crono while getting shot at, for example, so Aigis can in turn be brought back up if she falls? It feels unlikely that he can get both Crono and Aigis down at the same time.
