'''Mewtwo''' ({{ja|ミュウツー|Myūtsū}}, ''Mewtwo'') is the Genetic Pokémon from the {{uv|Pokémon}} series. It debuted in the series' [[bulbapedia:Generation I|first generation]], and is present as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

Line 34: Line 33:
In the ''Pokémon'' anime and movies, {{iw|bulbapedia|Mewtwo|original series}} is depicted as having been cloned from an eyelash of Mew and created at {{s|bulbapedia|Team Rocket}}'s behest. Given a more [[bulbapedia:The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin|sympathetic backstory]] than in the games, Mewtwo befriends a group of clones as a child, but the cloning process results in their premature deaths—with the exception of Mewtwo itself, due to having Mew's eternal life force. The trauma of losing its friends, coupled with being dismissed as a science experiment by its creators, causes Mewtwo to develop hatred towards humans and Pokémon subservient to humans. Thus, Mewtwo sets out to prove itself superior to natural lifeforms by creating an army of cloned Pokémon created from the genetic source material of various [[Pokémon trainer]]s' Pokémon.

However, Mewtwo has a change of heart after witnessing {{s|bulbapedia|Ash Ketchum}} sacrifice himself to stop a battle between its clone army and their originals; Mewtwo subsequently realizes that life is defined by one's actions instead of their origins. To this end, it begins to protect its fellow clones after whisking them away to {{s|bulbapedia|Johto}}'s {{s|bulbapedia|Mount Quena}}, a mountain that is virtually inaccessible by humans. After stopping Team Rocket's attempt at recapturing it and subsequently erasing their memories of its existence, Mewtwo decides to travel the world in order to avoid detection and find a purpose in its life, whereas its fellow clones decide to live peacefully among natural Pokémon in the wild. This Mewtwo reappears in an episode of ''Pokémon Journeys''.

Despite the species' one-of-a-kind nature originally, other Mewtwo have appeared in the {{s|bulbapedia|core series}} and across the various Pokémon continuities ever since. Two other Mewtwo have fully-voiced appearances: [[bulbapedia:Mewtwo (Best Wishes series)|one]] in [[bulbapedia:M16|the sixteenth movie]] that is capable of undergoing Mega Evolution, and [[bulbapedia:Mewtwo (Detective Pikachu)|one]] in both the ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Detective Pikachu|game}}'' spin-off game and the [[bulbapedia:Detective Pikachu (movie)|live-action movie of the same name]].

Mewtwo is a gender-unknown species, although this is not depicted consistently in other media. In the anime, the telepathically-generated voice for the first Mewtwo is male (which is reflected in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series), whereas the second Mewtwo featured in the sixteenth movie has a feminine voice. In comparison, the ''Detective Pikachu'' film's Mewtwo possesses an artificial, androgynous voice, but is referred to with male pronouns nonetheless.

Mewtwo does not appear in ''Super Smash Bros.'' in any capacity. However, according to a page on ''[[Smabura-Ken]]'' (the game's Japanese site), it was planned for inclusion in the roster as a playable fighter, but was removed from the game along with [[Bowser]] and [[King Dedede]] for unknown reasons.

In an official poll held on ''Smabura-Ken'' regarding characters for a potential sequel, Mewtwo placed sixth with 35 votes; it was tied with James Bond from ''[[GoldenEye (universe)|GoldenEye 007]]''.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult2.html Super Smash Bros. questionnaire]</ref>

Mewtwo made its ''Super Smash Bros.'' series debut as an unlockable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It can be unlocked after playing 20 cumulative hours of [[Versus Mode]] matches (5 hours for 4 players) or playing 700 Versus Mode matches.<ref name=SG>[https://www.sourcegaming.info/2016/01/15/melee-mewtwo/ News Flash!

Mewtwo is very [[floaty]] and possesses a decent combo game, a very good [[wavedash]] and grab game, above-average dodges, a strong projectile in [[Shadow Ball]], and one of the best recoveries in [[Teleport]]. Mewtwo also possesses a [[reflection]]-capable move in [[Confusion]], while [[Disable]] [[stun]]s any close-range opponent that directly faces Mewtwo.<ref name=SG/> On the other hand, Mewtwo has a flawed combination of large size and light weight; this not only results in it being an easy target to hit and combo, but also especially easy to KO despite its recovery and defensive prowess.<ref name=SG/> Mewtwo also has general awkwardness in its mobility and moveset, the latter of which is burdened with minimal utility and a small number of KOing options.

As a result of its weaknesses and flaws outweighing its strengths, Mewtwo infamously sat in the bottom-tier of ''Melee''{{'}}s [[tier list]] for most of the game's lifespan, to the point that it was even considered the worst character in the entire game at several points in ''Melee''{{'}}s lifespan. However, the efforts of {{Sm|Taj}} resulted in Mewtwo being reassessed as a low-tier character; this has been reflected with its current ranking of 20th out of 26 on the tier list, placing it in the D tier.

However, Mewtwo underwent a considerable turning point thanks to game updates. Update [[1.1.3]] increased Mewtwo's grounded and aerial speeds, as well as improving its already potent forward smash and aerial attacks. Although update [[1.1.5]] provided very few changes, they were effective regardless: Mewtwo's weight was marginally increased, its already fast dashing speed was increased to the point of becoming the seventh fastest in the game, and both its up smash and neutral aerial were made safer thanks to adjustments to their ending lag and hitbox sizes, respectively.

As a result of these very substantial buffs, opinions on Mewtwo drastically improved, as it has managed to earn some noteworthy representation and consistently achieves high placings at all levels of play. Thanks to this newfound success, Mewtwo is currently ranked 10th out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing it in the A tier and assessing it as a top-tier character.

Mewtwo returns as an unlockable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Much like in ''Melee'', it is one of the very last characters to be unlocked, as all three of its unlock methods (Smash battles, {{SSBU|Fox}}'s {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} unlock tree, and [[World of Light]]) designate it as one of the last characters encountered.

*Like [[Charizard]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and [[Lucario]], Mewtwo draws inspiration from a particular member of its species depicted in the ''Pokémon'' anime. In Mewtwo's case, it is based on the {{iw|bulbapedia|Mewtwo|original series}} from ''Pokémon: The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back'' and the TV special ''Mewtwo Returns'', although it also makes some references to the {{iw|bulbapedia|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} from ''Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening'' and ''Genesect and the Legend Awakened'':

**It is voiced by Masachika Ichimura in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the Japanese voice actor for the first Mewtwo, which is emulated by Keiji Fujiwara in ''SSB4''. Its Japanese quotes in both games have it boast about its power and question its existence, much like the first Mewtwo did on several occasions. The quotes were not dubbed in other languages; they were swapped out with language-neutral voice clips in the non-Japanese versions. In ''Ultimate'', the same thing would happen to some of [[Hero]]'s voice clips.

**Despite its two counterparts having English voice actors, Mewtwo from ''Super Smash Bros.'' series has yet to receive a proper English voice actor. In non-Japanese versions, Mewtwo's voice clips are mostly modified grunts from its respective Japanese voice actor. It shares this trait with [[Cloud]], the [[Luminary]], and [[Sephiroth]].
***Mewtwo is the only one of the four who does not hail from Square Enix, and is also the only one who is not a third-party character.
**It can use {{iw|bulbapedia|Shadow Ball|move}} like the first Mewtwo. Its presence in Mewtwo's moveset is notable, as it appeared in the first movie before it even appeared in the {{s|bulbapedia|core series}}.

*Mewtwo's status as a [[Weight|lightweight]] in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series contradicts its weight in the {{s|bulbapedia|Pokédex}}, where it is listed as weighing 269 pounds/122 kg. This is seemingly attributed to its telekinetically-induced anti-gravity. A similar case applies to [[Rosalina]].
