As much as I just want to say only "Team Crono" and leave, just for the awkward nostalgia, I am really struggling on this.
I begin to lean Mario's team because Mario's offense is just great and that dual-tech is an insane amount of FMV damage and spectacle to Mewtwo. The DK Takeover really helps make it a 3-2 for a bit before DK gets taken out as soon as Mario's done with him.
Then I look at Aigis really struggling to do anything for the first fifteen seconds with the double-whammy of damage and concussion symptoms. I don't see her healing herself in that time, yet I also don't see Team Mewtwo getting into that entranceway to fully take advantage with the way they were hit. For the most part, both teams did a good job at mitigating the other's surprise attack round. Both can heal up and both are the powerhouses of the fight. But Mewtwo will heal back and bounce back faster than Aigis. Aigis will be prioritizing DK when they meet so that's another time-frame where Aigis isn't necessarily going at her full strategic potential, being Taunted away.
As someone who owned Dan Hibiki back in the day, distracting an opponent's focus to one character is a huge point in my vote's favor, =P. And DK is a tanky gorilla. Hell, there's a lot of high health and heals on both sides. This match is not over in the first few minutes so even focusing down those times where Aigis/Mewtwo/Mario/DK are otherwise occupied isn't even close to the end of things.
Terrain doesn't really favor either side either. Yes, Kong can teleport, but I don't see it coming into play in a fight that's pretty much middle lane. Neither side has the numbers or specialists to try and jungle or flank around. Mewtwo's teleporting around and strafing, but they're in the fight not the outskirts.
And as strong as the Mega Mushroom and Thunderbolt are, they're also one-use. They're not 'need to save for the perfect moment' kind of things, but still, they can be survived in most scenarios and healed back up. It's definitely a war of attrition, of melting down PP/MP/SP/FP, and who lasts out.
I've still got an hour to vote and until Elimination Chamber. I'll keep waffling and looking at before-end arguments if they come. It's like 51%-49% in my head rn.
Mewtwo's buffs don't wear off but aegis's teams need to be reapplied tbh
