"he has a lot of things going for him, but in the context of his kit and character, their ability is hindered in some shape or form." that's basically most of smash ultimate characters conundrum lol

⁠@@l3mxn1 : It’s precisely because no one plays it that Mewtwo isn’t as good. If it was good, then wouldn’t pro players already be flocking to it like Aegis and Cloud? There’s a reason why Wadi, best SSBU Mewtwo player in the world, relegates Mewtwo as a secondary.

I feel like the more technical side of Mewtwo will be the key to unlocking his full potential. Wavebounce Shadow Ball, Teleport cancels, footstool Disable (especially out of shield), and more combo optimization could absolutely push the character further. Problem is that most of the players who do play Mewtwo are on Team Fundies, which includes Wadi. I could say that about many characters, and Mewtwo is just one of those many examples

I personally don't think Mewtwo is that technical in the first place. He's about as Technical as Samus and Bowser combined. Like those 3 things are nice and all but I don't think they'll help out Mewtwo too much. Any character with a charge shot can wavebounce (Excluding shit like DK Punch, Flood) and it doesn't really give much people an advantage over the opponent. I know this first hand as I'm NOTORIOUS for wavebouncing a lot for no damn reason as charge shot characters. Teleport cancels are cool looking but just because something looks cool doesn't mean that it's practical in neutral, advantage, or even disadvantage. I cannot think of much practical uses of Teleport Cancels other than trying to swag on your opponent offstage by crossing them up with one. Footstool disable is for the most part some twitter shit not gonna lie lmfao.

​​@@Sh1v3rIZAEBeen playing Mewtwo for years (10+) and Mewtwo is definitely more technical than he seems. I still havent seen a player use him to his full potential yet, SDX was the closest but left smash. It's not only footstools and teleport cancels, it's also slide back down b's, dtilt> IDJ into uAir>nair dragdowns which are greatly underused. Infact dtilt IDJ combos are just very underused with mewtwo and gives gim acess to his biggest combos. Also nair has 7 different ways it can sent opponents each with their own confirms and it makes it very hard to consistently control and get the best out of it because of that. All that coupled with his unique physics makes it unusual to control and adds a layer of difficulty Might not be the MOST technical but definitely far above average, there are reason why we dont see Mewtwo do his craziest stuff in tourny. That level of technicality is usually not worth all the weaknesses that comes with it and needs dedication to pull off. Fundies just arent enough for this character. He is definitely harder than Samus and Bowser individually OR combined. As Samus player myself, there is nothing that is hard to pull of as Samus. I still struggle with M2 after all these years. If he was that simple, people would use him as a secondary.

@@chalybee8689 First of all I want to thank you for telling me about Dtilt IDJ combos, those sound like a nice concept. Mewtwo's nair is actually pretty consistent. Odd numbers send in while even numbers send out. I found this out while messing around in Floatwars (Tail Smash combos) But even with the things you provided I still don't think that's enough for a character to be considered technical. Having a few character specific things just isn't enough for me to consider the character to be technical. I was comparing him to Samus and Bowser the way he can just shit out damage output at times and how he's a big body, on top of his somewhat straight forward neutral plan at times. That's just me personally though, but it is because I'm a huge pseudo Melee/P+head.

I think Mewtwo’s teleport was something that you didn’t talk about much. It is an ability with under-explored tech which has potential to mixup opponents and steal neutral or even advantage state from people. In a quarter of a second he can go from disadvantage off stage to center stage and there is nothing people can do about it. Factor in edge cancelling and you have a really scary character than can zone and camp like nobody’s business. The thing is he is treated like he should be able to play a more aggressive style but his entire kit revolves around bait and punish tactics. When played in this way Mewtwo shines.

I agree about his teleport. It has similar utility to Palutena's but more range, isn't an attack so can't be countered and since it goes in all directions and recovers pretty fast, you can just teleport out of most non true pressure if you've got the chance. Definitely one of the best up Bs in the game.

GREAT VIDEO VARS!!! YES!!! A combination of being well thought out, well spoken, and well said. You have a great voice as well. Keep these videos coming, you hammered every nail with this one.

I think in a roster with 80+ characters it’s inevitable that some are going to fall through the cracks in usage, and Mewtwo is one of them (also see Lucario, Duck Hunt, Mii Swordfighter to name a few others). He seems to be a victim of circumstance, being a popular Pokemon but not necessarily enough compared to other Pokemon reps, being a veteran from Melee and thus having little novelty value, and not having any unique gimmicks or off the wall tools that inspire curiosity and experimentation. Combine that with his awkward competitive profile as explained in the video and you’ve got a character that just kinda exists in a lot of people’s minds.

His rapid jab feels like it's fucking the opponent UP. Maybe it's the sound design (along with it of course being the most damaging rapid jab in the game, if I'm not mistaken).

Mewtwo is all gas and no brakes, an amazing advantage state and an awful disadvantage state. He literally can't run away because when he turns around and goes into his run animation his tail sticks out and puts his hitbox closer than when he was just facing them.

Biggest reason for people choosing other characters is that they offer similar high highs but without the crushing lows of the times your tail gets clipped. Mewtwo at his worst can feel like a punching bag getting hit by long range or disjointed attacks when any other character would be safe, and you constantly have to keep in mind that you're trying to mitigate this huge weakness of his whenever you're playing him whether on offence or defence.

This might just be my dumb "hot take" but I feel that Mewtwo is really hurt by not being able to play a standard Netrual game. He has all of the tools you need to win Netrual but because of his unique nature he can't play "footies" well and the longer Netrual goes, the more likely he loses it. Mewtwo wins fast and transitions to Advantage or loses slowly while taking chip damage that will kill him since he is too light. Again, at first glance on paper, Mewtwo has a OK Netrual and many ways to win it, but in practice, you either find a way to keep Netrual short or you often lose.

I didn’t know a lot of this, but I definitely *feel* like I had more success with Mewtwo in Smash 4 than Ultimate, just couldn’t put my finger on why.

I agree. Also Mewtwo feels like he is playing with one less tool than everyone else. His fspecial and dspecial are very unique but have such specific uses, especially dspecial, that also somewhat overlap each other. I believe if the dspecial was traded for an more useful tool he would fair much better as well. Maybe future sight as a projectile that spawns and moves towards him 3 seconds later could be used to cover space in a defensive way.

After watching: I fully believe he is underrated. You said you think he is s potential high tier, and I do too. Probably A-. I think his faults are so obvious and people overlook his incredible strengths. They see big body tail hitbox low weight and put him in bottom tier. He is hard to play in that you have to be very much aware of what you can do and your opponent can do, due to being a big body light weight, you want to play safe and explode in advantage without over extending, and then you have to be that much more patient and observant in disadvantage to limit the damage as much as possible. His tools are so good though. Yeah, the tail hurtbox sucks, but the normals are still really good. His specials are also ridiculous. Shadowball is definitely one of the best projectiles in the game. Confusion is a reflector and a command grab. Disable also isn’t cheese, and is a legit hard read death sentence. It has situations where it is more consistent (covering platform techs) as well as proper setups (shadow ball > footstool > disable). Teleport is also crazy and is a tool out of disadvantage and the crazy stuff you can do cancelling it from ledge and plats is crazy. Confusion and Disable are crazy good but they are also hard to use. Compare this to DLC who have great abilities that are kinda brain dead.

Mewtwo should’ve never been touched from Smash 4. I have no idea why he was touched in transition. The airdodge had to go. That was clear. But nothing else was jank or wrong. It honestly feels like they were like “Oh, this character is only nine spots away from Bayonetta and she’s busted. He must be busted, too.”

Mewtwo reminds me a lot of Lucario in the same aspects that you brought out. Covers multiple archetypes and has a very versatile toolkit but also has inconsistency issues with how his aura scales.

His original weakness in Melee was due to his stats not fitting with the pace of the game and its ironic that its basically the same way in this version The weight, floaty, and hurtbox size has always been a detriment to his unique kit but if all of those were adjusted he be an entirely new character but also practically an unstoppable space animal with a sword

As a Mewtwo main I loved the video, definitely should’ve talked about slingshot, and teleport stuff. I won’t lie his Meta is massively unexplored imo. SB combos are insanely broken with how you can condition with SB and a reflecting command grab. His kit pretty much as everything you could want jn a character minus a few things. But he’s massively underrated and I think with someone actually playing the character he could be mid - high high tier

the character is just too fair ( advantages and weaknesses ) in a game dominated by bullshit mechanics and moves that look like they came straight from the mind of a dreaming kind writing his Xmas list

Fun fact: Mewtwo's down throw literally never combos if you DI out. It's a fake combo throw.

Give Mewtwo Yoshi's jump cancelling and you have a monster

I still think Mewtwo is going to eventually find more respect later in Ultimate's competitive lifespan. He is so fluid and sick when played well. Also, people don't make enough use of shooting off multiple quick little aerial or B-reverse Shadow Balls to cover the space between you and the opponent before approaching... he has so much air speed that he can cover that distance very quickly and get good punishes.

Tbh, as someone who has played M2 since Sm4sh and Ultimate Day 1, I think this video could have genuinely benefited to some degree to have looked at the matchup spread Mewtwo has rather than basing it off calculated thought or some tournament videos. All the characters listed that he "struggles" against I felt was such an bold statement that I kinda screamed while watching bc the community of M2 players, unlike some other communities of characters who disagree about certain matchups, a Twitter spreadsheet broke down that we are in the top 5 most consistent communities that have opinions on who he can face and have a decent chance in. We Facing Joker, ROB, Cloud for example I haven't had a conversation with any M2 players who believe they can struggle at it so badly that it's considered losing or they felt immense pressure by facing them (myself included). I'm willing to give you slightly losing if we are to be generous here, but most of the community just agrees that for some of the high tiers and top tiers just even matchups we have to deal with and it's all dependent on the skill level understanding you have of your character.

I mained Mewtwo in smash 4, and while I still like playing him he's just lost so much in the transition. Not only did his hurtbox get bigger, but it became a bit harder to string together certain moves (both f-air strings and u-tilt into upsmash to name two) and confusion took a huge hit in its usefulness, stunning for shorter while also feeling worse for recovery mixups. I liked his sm4sh airdodge more as well, with the invisibility functioning as an occasional mixup, but I can't call that a strict downgrade. It didn't help that I moved to a town with a competitively stronger scene, so playing a glass canon was a fair bit more punishing

In my opinion, I love playing mewtwo. And oddly I’ve found that most of the characters that WaDi plays are fun and balanced, so I enjoy those as well

I play him, always loved his design and gameplay, the only thing i'm not a fan of is the last hit in his neutral melee extension which leaves little room for close range combos, meaning i rarely use his neutral melee extension unless i want to push someone back but if i want to combo i simply stun with the first hit then i use the cancel frame to go for his other attacks, despite his flaws i really like him.

I have a feeling banjo will appear eventually, if so I'm pretty hype. Me and the 4 other banjo mains on earth

When I played smash ultimate on the daily Mewtwo was my main. So I’m happy to see you make a video for him/them? But anyway, it’s so fun to just get in the opponents face and hit them with hard hitting moves and floating above range. It feels like a majestic dance against the opponent. But you are right on Mewtwo “having many aggressive opinions that cannot be used defensively.” Such a shame too because he could of been a more topheavy version of Paultena. He needs moves to use in disadvantage and areal cancels. It’s like having the coolest looking car but with no car battery. Also I know this might be controversial but I think it’s best to remove his Disable. It’s too gimmicky and does not really help unless the opponent is running at you or if you get a ledge roll predict. Mewtwo has a wide movepool so something like stored power (where it has to be charged like piranha plants poison) but it does a small amount of damage around him and knocks back opponents or something.

Could you do a video on the Link trifecta? A lot of people say Adult Link is better than Toon Link, but more people play the latter while Young Link is also universally agreed to be the best out of all the three. I’d love to see your take on these three characters maybe all in one video?

Skyjay just made it to grands. You should do why no one plays incineroar

Def underrated. I think he's at least bottom of high tier or top of mid tier.

I've always wanted to like Mewtwo, but he's just never clicked for me. His moveset is versatile and he's got great tools, but I've never been able to figure out what his playstyle is supposed to be. His kit doesn't really coalesce into a clearly defined archetype. I know he has a niche in counterplaying certain matchups, but it doesn't feel like he has an apparent fundamental approach to his design. His best tools feel sort of cobbled together on a character who's not really built around using them. He's weird and technical, but not in a way that makes me think "That's cool. I wanna learn how to do that."

They should give mewtwo an backdash attack when the tail hits the enemy when dashing bwck than it should count as hit as shielding hit like palus back air

As a mewtwo main, I would describe him as a spear. Perfect for damage and as a jack of all trades for attacking, but near no real options for defense or turning around disadvantage. You have to know what your opponents choices at all times or you will be overwhelmed into disadvantage. That's why I use Palu as a second, similar game style but Palu has that defense Mewtwo lacks for certain match ups

melee mew2 is one tthe rarest kind of pick trahs tier yes , but fully playable ,and quite smooth

Mewtwo has so much potential I wish they’d make him a heavyweight and give his tail more priority. Trade the power of kill throws with more consistency!!

Let's talk about the method used to unlock Melee Mewtwo back in the Gamecube days... I've seen a few Mewtwo players in online spectator fights where they would effectively use his forward air or back air on their opponents then follow up with his charged blast at around 50% health on the opponents. It's hit or miss, but I've seen it enough times to where they can knock some stocks off opponents. Samus players do this same technique.

3:27 I was gonna say k rool up throw which deals around 20% but then i remembered about kazuyas stupid input throw that deals as much as a heavyweight f smash

If Mewtwo could act out of teleport and had less end lag on it, as well as a less suicidal air dodge, he would basically be fixed. His tail isn't so bad that making his floatiness and mobility options better couldn't be enough to compensate. This character was reworked in Project M and showed what even just a Peach float could do to make his jumps less predictable and slow.

I've come for tail hitbox shenanigans

Finally the character I used to play I used to be good with him but frankly resorting to camp with shadow ball every game got boring to me. I did a long break from the game and lost all my fundamentals with every character I played semi competently like Mewtwo and Shulk So I went back to my first main Wolf and him being easier was easier on my hands too.

I regularly try to learn mewtwo but I just have trouble thinking around that weird double jump

Mewtwo is my worst good character, and yeah, a lot of this is pretty spot on, especially the part about having to awkwardly disengage while in disadvantage, and having a lot of rough blind spots on his "versatile" moves. I agree the tail hurtbox isn't AS big of a deal as it maybe seems, but it's still painful, especially if I try playing Mewtwo in the same sitting that I play Ridley. This is probably just a me issue, but I also find Mewtwo is a character that makes me overthink. Instead of just taking good, simple options, I feel compelled to do more weird stuff with Mewtwo and I have no idea why.

Mewtwo's a glass Cannon. Get in quick, do hella damage, then get out quick and do your damnedest to not get hurt.

3:08 that was funny ngl

In my entire time playing ultimate I have never seen mewtwo in wifi battle either.

The tail, that's the reason

I love how mewtwo feels and mained him for years, but this is exactly why I stopped playing him.

I main incinaroar but it’s going to like 15 minutes of “L he’s slow as shit.”

I’m a lucario main and I’d love it if you did lucario!!! Seems fitting because very few people play lucario and he’s a unique type of character!

@VarsIII Heads up that this is probably a scam? Not sure if there is anything you can do about it, but either way I wanted to draw your attention to it.
