Mewtwo (SSB4): Difference between revisions

Mewtwo has been heavily buffed as of update [[1.1.5]]. 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 further helps its offensive prowess by enabling it to chase after opponents and thus allows it to mix up its playstyle to sport a more consistent offensive presence alongside its typically defensive presence. Mewtwo's dash speed was increased even further in update 1.1.5, now being slightly faster than Sheik's. Said update also slightly increased Mewtwo's incredibly light weight, which marginally improved its survivability issues. 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 a reflected [[Timber|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 release, with players considering it to be mid-tier at the least, many players even considering it to be high tier, as opposed to its current low-tier status.
