Mewtwo (SSB4)/Back aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Mewtwo's back aerial.

Overview

Mewtwo flips its gigantic tail in an upward direction behind itself. Like Mewtwo's other aerial attacks, this is an extremely versatile move, notably able to generate a Wall of pain against certain characters at certain percentages. Additionally, its tail has the ability to semi-Shark opponents standing on the ledge when used off-stage, giving the character a move that can be hard to predict against while attempting to recover.
