===Tier placement and history=== | |||
Mewtwo has traditionally placed very low in tier lists, with a minuscule playerbase dedicated to using it. It was initially seen as the worst character in the game, according to the first tier list (dated October 2002), and hovered around the bottom 4 spots for many years, once even falling back into last place position (eighth tier list; July 2006). This is because many players attributed its placements to unfavorable combinations of being a floaty lightweight without many KO moves, awkward neutral game and hitbox placements, and poor disadvantage state. Mewtwo eventually moved out of the bottom tier due to increasing tournament placings by {{Sm|Taj}}, who was widely considered to be one of the best Mewtwo players in the world, though it never surfaced into the higher tiers, and {{Sm|Taj}} has been far less active while necessitating to select {{SSBM|Fox}} in difficult matchups. However, players such as {{Sm|Zoma}} and {{Sm|Leffen}} have represented Mewtwo in larger competitive tournaments, despite not reaching the same success as Taj. With innovations in good combos and recovery abilities being recognized, Mewtwo currently sits at 20th place. | |||
