'''Mewtwo''' ({{ja|ミュウツー|Myūtsū}}, ''Mewtwo'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Its return to the series (erroneously calling it a "new fighter") was announced during the [[Nintendo Direct#Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza|''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' 50-Fact Extravaganza]] on October 23rd, 2014.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0BBGzfw0pQ Wii U - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza]</ref> Mewtwo is the first [[Downloadable content (SSB4)|downloadable]] character in ''Super Smash Bros.'' history, and was made available on April 28th, 2015.<ref name="DLCdate">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMedqo8mLaQ Nintendo Direct 4.1.2015]</ref> However, it was made available at no cost as early as April 15th, 2015 for players who registered both {{for3ds}} and {{forwiiu}} on Club Nintendo by March 31st, 2015.<ref name="DLCdate"/><ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Campaigns/Super-Smash-Bros-Club-Nintendo-Promotion/Super-Smash-Bros-Club-Nintendo-Promotion-937174.html Super Smash Bros.

Rather than retaining {{s|wikipedia|Masachika Ichimura}} as its voice actor from ''Melee'', Mewtwo is now voiced by {{s|wikipedia|Keiji Fujiwara}}, who imitates some of the former's voice clips from ''Melee''.

Mewtwo is ranked 10th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing it in the A tier. This is a significant improvement from its low-tier placement in ''Melee'', where it was ranked 20th out of 26. Mewtwo boasts excellent mobility: in addition to retaining its very fast [[air speed]], its [[walk]]ing and [[dash]]ing speeds have become drastically faster, and it can now [[wall jump]].
Mewtwo is ranked 10th out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing it in the A tier. This is a drastic improvement from its low-tier placement in ''Melee'', where it was ranked 20th out of 26, and is its best placement in the series. Mewtwo boasts excellent mobility: in addition to retaining its very fast [[air speed]], its [[walk]]ing and [[dash]]ing speeds have become drastically faster, and it can now [[wall jump]].


Mewtwo also possesses a flexible combo game. Its neutral attack is a very reliable [[jab cancel]], even at high percentages, while its down tilt and [[fast fall]]ing up aerial both possess a variety of follow-ups at low to high percentages. Like in ''Melee'', Mewtwo's grab game is potent: its forward throw is tied for the most damaging throw of its kind in the game, whereas its back and up throws are viable KOing options. Mewtwo also boasts a respectable number of potent KOing options: in addition its up and back throws, its smash attacks, forward aerial, and fully charged [[Shadow Ball]] each possess considerable power.
