+===Tier placement and history===
+Mewtwo's return to the series was initially met positively, as players had soon noticed its increased mobility, power and range, which in turn led to it being perceived as a mid-tier character. However, players also lamented the nerfs to Mewtwo's already poor endurance. When coupled with other issues that became more prominent over the time, players gradually started to agree that Mewtwo's improved offense was not sufficient enough to compensate, in a case similar to Ike. While these drawbacks saw Mewtwo's perception plummet, some players insisted that Mewtwo was underrated and that critics were too focused on its frailty to see its positive traits. As time went on, Mewtwo received buffs via game updates, most notably to its mobility and aerials. These improvements led it to be ranked 37th on the first tier list, which established it as a low-tier character like in ''Melee''.
+After Mewtwo's dashing speed was further increased in update 1.1.5, players such as {{Sm|Abadango}}, {{Sm|Rich Brown}} and {{Sm|WaDi}} began placing higher with it in tournaments, and showed that its powerful offensive potential now outweighed its defensive shortcomings. This resulted in a drastic improvement in Mewtwo's perception within the community, which was reflected in it being ranked 10th on the second tier list. This new ranking was notable for not only reassessing it as a top-tier character but for also being the largest tier rise between the first and second tier lists. Mewtwo's continued success led to it being ranked 9th on the third tier list, which reaffirmed its status as a top-tier character.
+Despite {{Sm|WaDi}} achieving some very notable results, such as placing 5th at [[Super Smash Con 2017]] and [[2GGC: MkLeo Saga]], Mewtwo's tournament presence has slightly waned since then, owing to players becoming more capable of exploiting its weaknesses. This was further compounded by its best player, Abadango, picking up {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} as a co-main and using her more often. Due to its slightly worsened perception and results, Mewtwo has dropped to 10th on the fourth and current tier list. Some smashers, however, like {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|ANTi}} believe that it should be ranked slightly higher.
