'''Disable''' ({{ja|かなしばり|Kanashibari}}, ''Temporary Binding'') is [[Mewtwo]]'s [[down special move]].

==Overview==
[[File:Disable Reflected.gif|thumb|left|Disable being [[reflect]]ed, demonstrating how it works as a [[projectile]].]]
Mewtwo emits a short flash from its eyes, and any opponent facing Mewtwo and right in front of it will be [[dazed]] for a short period. If the move is performed on an already dazed opponent, they will be knocked away, taking 1% damage, and recover upon landing. The move will also send foes flying anytime they are in either a dazed state from a shield break or in an aerial tumble. If the move hits an opponent in the air, they will [[flinch]] but instantly recover after the [[freeze frame]]s, taking no appreciable knockback.

The move is often considered impractical due to its short, narrow range (the opponent must be very close, in front of Mewtwo and at approximately eye level), but it can be used to disrupt an advancing enemy or stun them for a charged [[smash attack]]. For more reliable use, [[wavedashing]] into it or [[jump cancel]]ing it allows the player to keep their momentum and reach opponents. Also of note is that the effect of the stun will last longer the higher the foe's damage. Disable is actually a [[projectile]], so alert opponents facing Mewtwo can [[reflect]], [[powershield]], and counter it.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', Mewtwo assumes a lower stance when performing Disable, thus lowering its eye level and allowing for the attack to connect with more enemies that are shorter than Mewtwo. In addition, the cooldown of Disable has decreased, and the stun duration for opponents has been lengthened, making it a very viable strategy to ensure a KO once characters are damaged enough, albeit still a risky maneuver. Disable is also a weight independent attack, but it can't stun fighters if the knockback dealt isn't greater than 0 units.

==Customization==
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
{{CustomSet/Single|Mewtwo|Down|name=Disable|desc=Stun any enemy you make eye contact with. Has no effect if you're not facing one another.}}
# '''Disable''': Default.
Like the other DLC characters, Mewtwo has no custom move variations (aside from the glitch ones in 1.0.6).

==Techniques==
===Short Hop Disable===
[[File:shdisable.gif|thumb|Mewtwo performing a Short Hop Disable]]
Performing Disable while running will stop Mewtwo in place. However, by [[short hop]]ping first, it can retain its horizontal momentum.

===Disable jump===
The '''disable jump''' is a technique and glitch in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It is triggered by Mewtwo hitting another character with Disable during the initial frames of their [[up special move]]. The timing can be hard to dictate, but if the glitch is performed correctly the target will be sent high into the air, past the [[Hoop damage|hoop]]. The opponent will then become [[helpless]] until landing.

===Footstool Disable===
In ''SSB4'', Mewtwo can combo into Disable by [[footstool jump]]ing a grounded opponent, immediately double jumping, and then using the move to cancel the double jump. The combo can be set up in multiple fashions, but the most common are from a neutral aerial and a footstool out-of-shield. When using neutral aerial, the player must [[reverse aerial rush]] it so Mewtwo is in a position to footstool. The neutral aerial drags down the opponent to where Mewtwo can footstool to double jump cancel by using Disable, stunning the opponent so the player can choose what punish to go for. This technique has been used consistently in tournament by Mewtwo main {{Sm|Abadango}}. At [[Pound 2016]] he placed first, showing off this new tech, using it in winner's finals against {{Sm|Marss}}.

However, there are inconsistencies with the combo, with the player having to guess which side the opponent will be on from the neutral aerial drag down, and some characters being immune to their height. Regardless of these inconsistencies, if the player is good enough, the combo can be performed as an infinite.

==Origin==
[[File:MewtwoDisableRBY.gif|thumb|250px|Mewtwo using Disable in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Red}}''.]]
{{iw|bulbapedia|Disable|move}} is a Normal-type status move introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}}. It prevents the target from being able to use a specific move for several turns, though the exact mechanics — from duration to accuracy and even move selection — vary throughout generations. In Generation I, Disable will randomly choose one of the target's moves to prevent the use of for a certain duration of turns. From Generation II and onward, Disable will disable the target's last used move, meaning it fails otherwise. Since then, its accuracy has been steadily buffed, and it has become one of the most-buffed moves in the franchise as a result. Its depiction in the ''Smash'' series, in which it prevents the victim from moving entirely, is closer to how the move works in the ''Pokémon'' anime series and the ''Mystery Dungeon'' spinoff games.

The function of Disable in ''Smash'' resembles a different ''Pokémon'' move altogether: {{iw|bulbapedia|Glare|move}}, which consists in the user making eye contact with the opposing Pokémon in order to [[bulbapedia:Paralysis (status condition)|paralyze]] it. However, Mewtwo cannot learn Glare in the ''Pokémon'' games.

Disable is a part of Mewtwo's starting moveset in every game. However, while Mewtwo is programmed to learn Disable at level 1 in ''Pokémon Red and Green'', it can't learn it due to the lack of a {{iw|bulbapedia|Move Reminder}} in these games, meaning that Disable Mewtwo was effectively unused until ''Pokémon Stadium 2'' introduced the ability to relearn moves.

==Trivia==
*In ''Melee'', Mewtwo's irises turn yellow while using Disable, while in ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'' they instead turn green.
**In ''Ultimate'', Mewtwo's expression when performing the move is also used as its [[poison]]ed/[[curse]]d expression, and as a result, its irises flash green as long as poison or curse are in effect.
*Disable is the only down special move used by Pokémon in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series that cannot be taught via {{iw|bulbapedia|TM}} or {{iw|bulbapedia|HM}} in the ''Pokémon'' series.  [[Revenge]] also originally fit this criteria until the release of ''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Pokémon Shield'', where [[Incineroar]] can learn it via {{iw|bulbapedia|TM42}}.
