So here's my thinking at the moment:

-Mewtwo and Aigis both stay at their starting areas and get to heal off their ouchies.
-Aigis will likely try to press the advantage, because she is ALL ABOUT eliminating threats. Mario is capable of keeping up a little bit behind in his go-kart. Crono is... not. Mewtwo will likely get some buffs off before they meet.
-Mewtwo v Aigis is interesting as I do think Mewtwo solidly wins it, but I think Aigis is good enough at jumping around and dodging and I think her persona being activated via her inner systems/plume of dusk allows her to resist any sort of TK and get a good hit in. This is not to mention Aegis Shielding, which outright nulls psychic attacks if she's focusing on blocking with Pallas Athena. I think Mewtwo can develop counterplay pretty easy - Swift helps him chip things out especially, and he's capable of getting physical - but the thing is, I believe Aigis is a very annoying target for him to beat.
-Crono and Aigis have a solid lifeloop. I think that works once before Mewtwo Disables it.

My main focus right now is on Bowser. I don't think it's possible for him to win - he's fighting a Donkey Kong-fueled Mario and immediately after he's probably getting shrunken and has to avoid Giant Mario stomping on him. I also think Crono probably picks off a disoriented and likely shrunken DK (though not without a bit of effort). My question is mostly: just how much time does Bowser buy Mewtwo here? Mario Vs Bowser affairs have an obvious conclusion, but they're only fast if Bowser falls in a hole he makes for himself. Here, Bowser is on the backfoot constantly, but he KNOWS Mario's tricks. If he can hold out long enough for Mewtwo to figure out how to open Aigis like a tin can, I think he can clinch it for his team. He has nice tools for it - he's got passive healing on hit with his equipment, Terrorize and Poison Gas are great stall options, the Clown Car can let him run out the clock for a while and summon some minions for attacks - but there's no doubt that once Crono's done with DK, Bowser's time to live drastic go down.
