Mewtwo

Line 85:

Mewtwo was later announced in the [[Nintendo Direct#Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza|''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' 50-Fact Extravaganza]] to be a playable character, while its return to the series was notable for being the first time in ''Super Smash Bros.'' history that a character has been made available as [[downloadable content]]. Consumers who registered both {{for3ds}} and {{forwiiu}} on Club Nintendo before March 31, 2015 could download it for free as of April 15th, while others were able to purchase it beginning on April 28th. Its moveset is mostly unchanged from ''Melee'', aside from the addition of [[Psystrike|a Final Smash]].

Mewtwo is ranked ~~9th~~ out of 58 on the ''SSB4'' [[tier list]], placing it in the A tier. Upon its return to the series, Mewtwo had been poorly regarded by the competitive scene, as its already light [[weight]] was lowered further and its already tall hurtbox was slightly increased in height. However, Mewtwo did see improvements to [[Confusion]] and [[Disable]], two of its most arguably least used moves: the former now functions as a traditional [[Reflection|reflector]], while the latter's [[stun]] effect has a longer duration. Despite the aforementioned poor competitive view, Mewtwo saw a turning point thanks to game updates. Update [[1.1.3]] increased Mewtwo's grounded and aerial speeds, as well as improved its already potent forward smash and aerial attacks. Although update [[1.1.5]] provided very few changes, they were effective regardless: Mewtwo's weight was marginally increased, its already fast dashing speed was increased to the point of becoming the seventh fastest in the game, and both its up smash and neutral aerial were made safer thanks to adjustments to their ending lag and hitbox sizes, respectively.

Mewtwo is ranked 10th out of 55 on the ''SSB4'' [[tier list]], placing it in the A tier.

As a result of these very substantial buffs, opinions on Mewtwo have been much more positive: it has been reassessed as a top-tier character, has managed to earn some noteworthy representation, and it consistently achieves high placings at all levels of play.
