Mewtwo has been buffed significantly | Mewtwo has been buffed significantly via game updates. Some of its attacks have had their damage outputs increased, their lag decreased, and their hitboxes' sizes and durations increased, all of which improve its offense. Additionally, update 1.1.3 made Mewtwo considerably faster by increasing its walking and dashing speeds, which grant it a much more consistent offensive presence alongside its typically defensive presence. Mewtwo's dashing speed was increased even further in update 1.1.5, now being slightly faster than {{SSB4|Sheik}}'s. Said update also slightly increased Mewtwo's weight, which slightly improved its endurance. | ||
Mewtwo also slightly benefits from the changes to shield mechanics brought about by updates [[1.1.0]] and [[1.1.1]]: the universal increase to [[shieldstun]] allows Shadow Ball, some of its sweetspotted attacks and [[Confusion]]-reflected projectiles (such as [[Timber]]'s tree, a fully charged [[Charge Shot]] or a fully charged Shadow Ball) to heavily damage a shield. Due to these aforementioned changes, Mewtwo is considered much more viable than it was upon its return to the series. | Mewtwo also slightly benefits from the changes to shield mechanics brought about by updates [[1.1.0]] and [[1.1.1]]: the universal increase to [[shieldstun]] allows Shadow Ball, some of its sweetspotted attacks and [[Confusion]]-reflected projectiles (such as [[Timber]]'s tree, a fully charged [[Charge Shot]] or a fully charged Shadow Ball) to heavily damage a shield.
