In ''Melee'', Confusion holds the opponent at a distance from Mewtwo as it falls downwards. As characters being thrown are not checked for terrain collision, this opens up a gimmick where Mewtwo can use Confusion to pull opponents down through solid thin platforms, most notably the sides of {{SSBM|Battlefield}}. If done correctly, the opponent will be caught underneath the stage, which can cause them to panic, waste their [[double jump]] and/or [[triple jump]], and be unable to recover. If the platform is too thick, the opponent will be pushed outside the stage and likely grab onto the edge. When used on an airborne opponent in ''Melee'', however, it will actually restore the opponents double jump. | In ''Melee'', Confusion holds the opponent at a distance from Mewtwo as it falls downwards.

Overall, while the "edge trick" is something that opponents must be wary of, Confusion is widely considered to be a poor and ineffective move in ''Melee''. While its grab range is surprisingly large, it is outclassed by Mewtwo's normal throws (for damage, combos, and KOs) and [[powershield]]ing (for reflection); even if the move connects, every character in the game can subsequently [[punish]] Mewtwo with a [[back aerial]] during its ending lag. However, ''SSB4'' improved the move's utility greatly; it is no longer as punishable, and as a move which both reflects projectiles and stops opponents in their tracks, it is fairly effective for disrupting [[approach]]es or setting up attacks. | Overall, while the "edge trick" is something that opponents must be wary of, Confusion is widely considered to be a poor and ineffective move in ''Melee''.
