It's going to be annoying since they will essentially be selling a download key: They have to make everyone download mewtwo otherwise online /local multiplayer becomes segmented. As sakurai claims to not be working on DLC, which I still doubt is true, then I do think it should be free for everyone. A single character just isn't worth much. and pointlessly segements the userbase.
Now, if it's a pack equal to something like mario kart (an expansion the size of half the game for about £11!) or hyrule warriors (somewhere between double and triples the content in the game for £13.50), then yeah, I could live with that.
But even being generous and only counting newcomers, that would mean they need 7.5 newcomers for £11 to match mario karts value (and that's not even counting the 2 new clones as "newcomers"). Hyrule warriors level of DLC just isn't going to happen. I have serious trouble imagining we get a dlc pack anywhere near that size/value.
They've done DLC right three times. They also did it horribly with fire emblem, NSMB2 and pikmin 3, so it's easy for it to go either way. Assuming it will be automatically good value is as dumb as assuming it will be bad.
