Mew2King, however, struggles in the neutral game more than other top players do. His neutral game consists of unorthodox, usually unsafe approaches, which he mixes up in an attempt to confuse the opponent. He relies greatly on his grab game, so he will usually only perform maneuvers in neutral that can allow him to get a grab. Mew2King is also known for heavily counterpicking in specific matchups, sometimes with disappointing results. For example, he will only play Fox against {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, as Fox is technically superior in that matchup, though he has seen mixed results against {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, ranging from a victory on Hungrybox's side to barely edging him out. He will usually play {{SSBM|Peach}} against {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} at high-level play just because she has a greater advantage against the Climbers than any of his mains, instead of learning the matchup with Sheik or Marth. This has led to very close sets with {{Sm|Fly Amanita}}, several recent losses to {{Sm|Wobbles}}, a loss to {{Sm|dizzkidboogie}}, and a loss to both {{Sm|Nintendude}}'s Ice Climbers and Peach (who is occasionally used as an answer to Peach players), as his Peach is nowhere near the same level as his mains. In the past, Mew2King has counterpicked Jigglypuff in certain games against other Jigglypuff players, such as {{Sm|Mango}} and Hungrybox, which usually lead to his defeat. He is also easily unnerved while in a losing position, particularly when the crowd is cheering for the other player or when he starts making tech skill errors, as seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDnKE5J7ki8 against aMSa at Kings of Cali 4] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_THJ9dn53kk against Armada at EVO 2013].
