Mewtwo (SSBU)

Line 18:

{{iw|wikipedia|Keiji Fujiwara}}'s portrayal of Mewtwo from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' was repurposed for ''Ultimate''. This is also the last game for which Fujiwara voiced Mewtwo prior to his death in April 2020.

Mewtwo is ranked 66th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing it in the D+ tier. This is a drastic drop from its 10th out of 54 placement in ''SSB4'', the largest drop for a veteran in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate'', and ~~it’s Mewtwo’s~~ worst placement in the series. Mewtwo’s greatest strengths lie in its offensive capabilities, being able to rack up large amounts of damage via its strong normals and special moves. Most notably, [[Shadow Ball]] is a strong and versatile projectile that serves as a centerpiece to Mewtwo’s main game plan, allowing it to apply pressure to opponents by being a strong tool for KOing and allowing for combos at its weaker charges courtesy of Mewtwo's high mobility. Additionally, Mewtwo has a multitude of viable KO tools which allows it to secure stocks reliably, such as the aforementioned Shadow Ball, forward aerial, back aerial, its powerful kill throws and smash attacks. Its other specials have their place in Mewtwo’s game plan as well - [[Confusion]] and [[Disable]] allow Mewtwo to set up into KOs, with the former also acting as a reflector, giving it an answer to camping opponents with projectiles. In addition to being a strong tool for recovery especially when paired with Confusion and its [[double jump]], [[Teleport]] possesses low lag, allowing it to be used as an escape option should Mewtwo find itself in a bad spot.

Despite these strengths, Mewtwo packs some severe, glaring weaknesses, most notably in its weight and size. Mewtwo is tied for the seventh lightest character in the game and it is prone to losing stocks at low percents. Unlike the other characters in its weight class, Mewtwo is easier to hit and combo because of how tall and floaty it is, making ~~match ups~~ such as {{SSBU|Fox}} and {{SSBU|Falco}} notoriously difficult for Mewtwo. Its slow double jump and lack of combo breaker moves, combined with the aforementioned downsides, leads to Mewtwo having a relatively poor disadvantage state (outside of recovery), made worse by its infamous tail hurtbox, making Mewtwo easier to be clipped by a lot of attacks while also adding extra risk to the usage of tail moves.

Overall, while Mewtwo possesses strong tools and high KO power, as well as a powerful projectile and combo game courtesy of Shadow Ball, it is difficult for it to find consistency due to its nature of being a tall lightweight character. As a result, Mewtwo rarely sees representation in competitive play, with tournament results mainly coming from {{Sm|WaDi}} prior to his leave from competitive play.
