We’ve talked about the Mewtwo custom moves glitch in Super Smash Bros. a tiny bit, but now we have another video that showcases all sorts of craziness that ensures when you try it out in the Wii U version. There are really no words that can adequately describe what can happen, so I’ll just let the video below speak for itself.

Accomplishing the Mewtwo glitch can be done by importing a Mii onto your system, viewing them in the character select screen, backing out, selecting Mewtwo, and choosing “random”. Mewtwo will then take on the special moves of the Mii you viewed last. It can lead to a variety of scenarios!

Source Gaming has put together a complete translation of Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai’s latest column in Famitsu. As we mentioned last night, this new piece is entirely about downloadable content. Read on below for the translation.

In the Users’ Eye section of this magazine, “Sm4sh for 3DS” was the top scoring game of 2014 with an average of 9.58! Personally, I’ve never seen such high marks before, and I would like to thank you for your incredible support.

As I have mentioned in this column, Smash is made up of the incredible hard work and sacrifice of myself and others. I, too, acknowledge, that developing the Smash games is the best way to satisfy the most players worldwide.
