[[Image:PMMewtwoAlt.png|thumb| Mewtwo's alternate costume]]

Mewtwo was significantly [[buff]]ed from ''Melee'' to ''Project M''.

*{{buff|Mewtwo is [[Weight|heavier]], now being a middleweight character instead of a lightweight.}}

*{{buff|Mewtwo's tail is now significantly longer, greatly increasing the reach of any attacks that utilize its tail, such as its tilts. Additionally, only the inner half of the tail has a hurtbox (whereas in ''Melee'' the entire tail had a hurtbox), thus giving Mewtwo significant [[disjointed hitbox]]es for its tail attacks.}}

*{{buff|The minimum amount of hits delivered by the second hit of Mewtwo's [[neutral attack]] is now just one (as opposed to ''Melee''{{'}}s eight hits), making the move optionally much shorter, and therefore allowing Mewtwo to effectively follow-up.}}

*{{buff|All tilts have less ending lag.}}

*{{buff|The hits of [[up smash]] link better into each other. The final hit is additionally more powerful and deals slightly more damage.}}

*{{buff|Down smash produces a slightly larger shadow blast to slightly improve its reach, and it now has a sweetspot on the inner half of the move that hits more powerfully, while the sourspot has the move's ''Melee'' power. Additionally, the latter half of the move has a weak lingering hitbox (instead of having no hitbox) and the attack has much less ending lag (having almost no lag after hitboxes cease).}}

*{{buff|Aerials have less landing lag.}}

*{{buff|Down aerial's hitboxes are more favorably placed and specific spacing is no longer required to avoid landing the sourspot, with the sourspot being smaller and placed higher, while the intermediate and sweetspot hitboxes are larger and make up a larger portion of the move. The attack additionally produces slightly stronger knockback.}}

*{{buff|Forward aerial's hitboxes are more favorably placed, the hitbox being enlarged and moved closer to the tip of Mewtwo's fingers.}}

*{{buff|[[Forward throw]] changed to crushing opponent in a Shadow Ball, then throwing them ahead. It has the same angle as the original throw, but racks up damage more reliably (now always dealing a fixed amount of damage), and produces much stronger knockback, now being a potential KO move when used near edges.}}

*{{buff|[[Shadow Ball]] is stronger, and even when uncharged it has stronger [[knockback]] than before. It also travels considerably faster.}}

*{{buff|[[Confusion]]'s effect now sends victims upwards into a [[tumbling]] state after spinning them, is safe on hit (in ''Melee'', every character could punish the attack on-hit with a back aerial) and produces a slight [[wind]] effect a small distance outside its grab to make it more difficult to punish. It also now acts as a proper [[reflector]], with projectiles reflected by Confusion inflicting damage to the original user, further improving Confusion's utility. It can still pull opponents through platforms (although this is harder than in ''Melee'' as a midair jump must be input first) and the rise up can [[stage spike]] if the platform is solid.}}

*{{buff|[[Teleport]] no longer puts Mewtwo into a [[helpless]] state if used before a midair jump, and acting out of it is possible with anything but an [[air dodge]] (or another Teleport), making it more useful for recovery mix-ups and combos. The move can now also scar through stages similar to Wolf's [[Wolf Flash]].}}

*{{buff|[[Disable]] has increased reach, now affects enemies from behind, and can no longer be reflected. It also has significantly increased power on midair foes, dealing 9% more damage.}}

*{{nerf|Mewtwo can no longer [[Teleport]] downward through [[soft platform]]s that it is standing on.}}

*{{change|[[Disable]] no longer deals knockback to already-[[Stun|dazed]] characters, nor does it increase their stun time. It does add slightly more damage, however, and the attack not causing knockback enables Mewtwo to follow up with other, stronger attacks.}}

*{{change|Unlike the majority of Mewtwo's moves, which use the SFX from ''Melee'', [[Shadow Ball]] maintains the SFX from Lucario's [[Aura Sphere]] when charging.}}
