If real physics applied in the first place, everyone would fall at almost the same speed anyway, except for the aforementioned levitating characters and probably Jigglypuff and possibly Kirby. Hell, the levitating characters wouldn't fall in the first place.

So what's better about Smash 4's Mewtwo?
When I saw the reveal for Mewtwo in Project M, I thought that that Peach-esque float mechanic would be a smart way to handle his floatiness.
So I've been wondering, who is the oldest character in this game? Not as in when they debuted, but their actual age.

It was working just fine yesterday, anyone else having problems like that?

If Palutena is based on Athena, and the world of Uprising is based on Ancient Greece, Palutena's age might be... interesting.
She would at least be younger than Hades and, amusingly enough, Viridi as well if she's based off of Demeter.
Though she's still the oldest character in Smash, yeah.

Okay then, so who would be the youngest?

I say the latter because, even though he was born after Arceus, the whole time travel thing might offset it by a few millenia or something. Palutena is still the oldest playable, though.

I don't know if Right Back at Ya! is considered canon to the games, but if it is Kirby could already be older than much of the cast.

Smash takes several liberties with height and weight. Lucina is taller than Robin here, and Kirby is supposed to be no bigger than a penny.
AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!
