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

Mewtwo shoots out a short flash from its eyes, and any opponent facing Mewtwo and being right in front of it will be [[dazed]] for a short period. If the move is performed on a dazed character the target flies off taking 1% damage, but recovers upon landing. The disable 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 a better 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 ''SSB4'', Mewtwo assumes a lower stance, 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 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 then become [[helpless]] until landing.

In ''SSB4'', Mewtwo can combo into Disable by [[footstool jump]]ing on a grounded opponent, then immediately double jumping and using the move. This can be set up by using a neutral aerial while facing away from the opponent, although it is difficult to do consistently. This technique has been used in tournament by {{Sm|Abadango}}. At [[Pound 2016]] he placed first, showing off this new tech.

{{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 vary throughout generations. In Generation I, Disable will randomly choose one of the target's moves unable to use for a certain duration of turns. From Generation II and onward, Disable will disable the target's last used move. 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. It is part of Mewtwo's starting moveset in every game.

*Disable is the only down special move used by a Pokémon in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series that cannot be taught via {{s|bulbapedia|TM}} or {{s|bulbapedia|HM}} in the ''Pokémon'' series.

*The Japanese name of this move is related to the term ''kanashibari'' (金縛り, lit. gold binding), the Japanese term for sleep paralysis.

*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.
