| '''Mewtwo''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. After being cut from ''Melee'', it returns with significant buffs. In ''Project M'', it is one of two characters that were not originally playable in ''Brawl'', the other being {{PM|Roy}}; in ''[[Project+]]'', it is one of three, with {{b|Knuckles|P+}} being the third. Mewtwo was the second [[File_replacement#Clone_Engine|clone engine character]] announced for ''Project M'', using {{PM|Lucario}} as a base. | | '''Mewtwo''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. The [[Pokémon (universe)|Pokémon]] makes a return from ''Melee'' with significant buffs. It is one of the two characters which were not originally playable in ''Brawl'', the other being [[Roy (PM)|Roy]]. |
| | | <!--tier position paragraph--> |
| Masachika Ichimura's protrayal of Mewtwo from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' was re-purposed for Mewtwo's appearances in ''Project M'' onward.
| |
| | |
| Mewtwo is ranked 3rd out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]] at the top of the A tier, a significant improvement from its 20th out of 26 placing in ''Melee''. In the official ''Project+'' {{h2|Project+|Tier list}}, Mewtwo ranks slightly lower at 5th, near the top of the A+ tier.

| ==Attributes== | | ==Attributes== |
| As with ''Melee'', Mewtwo is a character that defies most character archetypes in that it is a tall, floaty, slow middleweight with a long disjointed range much like Zelda. Its long tail gives it an advantage against most characters in the cast, similarly to other disjointed characters, due to it allowing it to [[space]] with ease. It also has good zoning capabilities as a result of its tail attacks and [[Shadow Ball]]. It also has many versatile finishers, such as its smash attacks and down aerial. It also has one of the best grab and throw games of the cast, having two chain throws (up and down), two KO throws (up and back), and two combo throws (forward and down). Mewtwo also has one of the best recoveries in the game due to its fast air speed, slow falling speed, float mechanic, high double jump, and all of its specials being useable for recovery. Mewtwo's greatest strength is its combo game, which is contributed to by its reach, float, frame data, low knockback attacks, and Teleport's new function going from ''Melee'' to ''PM'', offering for versatile combos that can lead directly into its finishers.
| | [[Image:PMMewtwoAlt.png|thumb| Mewtwo's alternate costume]] |
| | |
| However, despite the numerous buffs it received, Mewtwo still has flaws. Its greatest weakness remains its survivability; even with its heavier weight, it maintains its tall frame and floatiness, and when combined with the harsher environment, makes it easy to combo and KO Mewtwo vertically, more so than the slightly floatier {{PM|Samus}} as a result of her extra weight. It also may have trouble KOing outside of combos, despite having many K.O options, due to its finishers generally being slow or having poor range. Mewtwo also has an extremely high technical learning curve to use all of its techniques to the fullest, requiring fast reflexes and nimble fingers.
| |
| | |
| Despite these weaknesses, Mewtwo's strengths and buffs significantly override them, making it among the most dominant characters in ''PM'''s metagame. However, after update 3.5 released, Mewtwo was notably nerfed, thus slightly reducing its success, though not enough to significantly harm it.
| |
| | |
| ==Changes from ''Melee'' to ''PM''==
| |
| Mewtwo was significantly [[buff]]ed from ''Melee'' to ''Project M''. It has almost twice as much range on its tail attacks, its comboing ability has improved considerably with the addition of the float and Teleport's new properties, its survivability has improved, and all attacks received improvements to either damage, knockback, or range. Confusion and Disable were also massively buffed, however, they are still considered situational. While Mewtwo has been nerfed in updates following version 3.0, the nerfs have not severely hurt its tournament results.

| ==Changes from ''PM'' to ''P+''==
| | In terms of cosmetic changes, Mewtwo now has a black costume in addition to two Armored Mewtwo costumes. For its [[on-screen appearance]], Mewtwo teleports onto the stage and stretches a hand, emitting its cry from the main Pokémon games, which is also used for its [[Wii Remote]] sound when selected. Mewtwo's up [[taunt]] involves it floating in a sitting pose with closed eyes, similar to how it appeared at Dr. Fuji's lab in ''[[bulbapedia:M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Mewtwo keeps floating as long as the taunt input is held. Its side taunt is similar to the on-screen appearance, while down taunt is that from ''Melee''. Its spinning victory pose now has it say "{{rollover|愚かな|Trans: Foolish|y}}" (Orokana) which is taken from the Japanese version of ''Melee''. It also has a new victory pose, replacing the dark fire one, where it spins in place, floating up, and ultimately disappearing. This pose has the same groan from the original, however. |
| ===Aesthetics=== | | |
| *{{bugfix|Mewtwo now has its own soundbank separate of Lucario, eliminating related bugs and oddities from ''Project M''.}}
| | ===Armored Mewtwo=== |
| *{{change|Mewtwo's tail swings have costume-specific graphics.}}
| | '''Armored Mewtwo''' appears as Mewtwo's alternate costume. It is based upon the armor donned by Mewtwo in ''[[bulbapedia:M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.<!--list differences, if any--> |
| *{{change|Final Smash voice lines changed, given audio effects to match other characters.}}
| | *There are two colors schemes available for this alternate costume: one silver as it was in the movie and one gold with a gray color scheme for Mewtwo itself. |
| *{{bugfix|Fixed issues related to Mewtwo's eye movement when using forward smash, up smash, forward air, and forward throw.}}
| | *On the back of the armor is the inscription "PKMN-150", which is its National Pokedex number in the games. |
| *{{bugfix|Fixed issue where most Mewtwo eye animations did not trigger while having a final smash glow.}} | |
| *{{change|Mewtwo's ledge getup attacks have been normalized.}} | |

| ==Role in [[The Subspace Emissary]]== | |
| As Mewtwo does not exist within the base game of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], it does not play a role within the story. Mewtwo is instead automatically unlocked after finishing the main story in Project+. It however isn't available in Subspace naturally in Project M and older versions of Project+.
| |
| | |
| ==In Solo Modes==
| |
| While Mewtwo cannot appear as a CPU in {{SSBB|Classic Mode}}, it does appear in [[All-Star Mode]] in ''[[Project+]]'' and later versions of ''[[Project M]]''. It is fought in Stage 18 alongside {{PM|Pikachu}}, {{PM|Jigglypuff}}, {{PM|Charizard}}, and {{PM|Lucario}}. In [[Event Match]]es, Mewtwo replaces the opponent {{SSBB|King Dedede}} in [[Event 40: The Final Battle]], replaces the opponent {{SSBB|Pikachu}} in [[Co-Op Event 2: Master the Pokémon Tag Battle]], and appears as the final opponent in [[Co-Op Event 21: The True All-Star Battle]].

| ==Trophy==
| |
| In ''[[Project+]]'', Mewtwo's trophy can be obtained by clearing {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} or [[All-Star]] mode. This is the same Mewtwo trophy from ''Brawl'', but with the model and pose changed to match its appearance in Project+.

However, Mewtwo greatly differs from Mew in both size and personality and is said to be the most twisted and savage Pokémon ever.

| ==Alternate costumes==
| |
| ===Project M===
| |
| Mewtwo's design received a large overhaul from ''Melee'' to ''Project M''. Where Melee based its design from Generation I and II (games for the Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Nintendo 64), its new design reflects Generation IV (games that were for the Wii and Nintendo DS, and made around the same time as ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''). It matches Brawl's more realistic environment like other characters.
| |
| | |
| It retains all of its costumes from ''Melee'', while also gaining a new gray color scheme and alternate costumes based upon its armor set seen in ''Mewtwo Strikes Back.''

| ===Project+===
| |
| In ''[[Project+]]'', Mewtwo received additional colors. The yellow skin is based on the sprite from ''Pokémon Yellow''. Armored Mewtwo gains a green and blue color, and Rocket Mewtwo was included as the red team color for this costume set. Shadow Mewtwo from ''Pokkén Tournament'' is the third costume with additional colors.

An extra detail involves Mewtwo's digits being more claw-like.

This is the only Mewtwo-related [[bulbapedia:Mega Evolution|Mega Evolution]] that's not usable in future ''Super Smash Bros.'' games.

| *At the time of Mewtwo's creation as a character in the mod, it was not possible to convert animations from ''Melee'' and import them into ''Brawl''. As a result of having to do them all from scratch, Mewtwo's animations alone took approximately 700 hours to create. ''Project M'' Backroom member SiLeNtDo0m credits Haloedhero with the animation work in [http://smashboards.com/threads/floaty-purposes-mewtwo-general.341207/#post-15904161 this forum post.] | | *At the time of Mewtwo's creation as a character in the mod, it was not possible to convert animations from ''Melee'' and import them into ''Brawl''.

| *In ''Project M'', when Kirby copies Mewtwo, he copies Disable rather than Shadow Ball. According to ''Project M'' Backroom member {{Sm|Gimpyfish}}, this is due to the difficulty of programming a new projectile for a pre-existing character. This was eventually fixed in ''Project+'', where Kirby properly copies Shadow Ball from Mewtwo. | | *When Kirby copies Mewtwo, he copies Disable rather than Shadow Ball. According to Project M Backroom member {{Sm|Gimpyfish}}, this is due to the difficulty of programming a new projectile for a character. |
| **An unreleased ''Project M'' build shows though that a proper Shadow Ball ability for Kirby was in development and well under way. | | *Psystrike still possesses an [[aura]] effect during Mewtwo's ascent. |
| *Before ''Project+'' came to be, there were some minor oddities with Mewtwo's voice clips during battle, distinctions shared by fellow clone engine fighter {{PM|Roy}}. This is no longer the case, as they now have their own soundback with enhanced voice and sound effects. The following oddities were removed:
| | *Mewtwo's sound effects replace [[Galleom]]'s, resulting in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEgFRimMvmM atypical behaviour] when fighting him. |
| **Mewtwo's SFX were of a significantly lower quality than Melee, although an [http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=207338 unofficial patch] for 3.5 proved that this was unnecessary for the official release.
| | *Mewtwo is the only character that has the announcer echo twice when selected. |
| **Mewtwo's voice could be heard when it entered Metal form.
| | *[[Mewtwo]] was [https://twitter.com/ProjectMGame/status/389947763590299648 leaked] in version 2.6 of Project M, with a screenshot of Mewtwo and {{PM|Pikachu}} on Pokémon Stadium 2 being used as a screen texture on said stage. However, it was barely noticed. |
| **Prior to the v3.6 Beta, Mewtwo's sound effects replaced [[Galleom]]'s, resulting in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEgFRimMvmM atypical behaviour] when fighting him. After 3.6, its sound effects were then shared with {{PM|Lucario}}. | |
| *[[Mewtwo]] was [https://twitter.com/ProjectMGame/status/389947763590299648 "leaked"] in version 2.6 of ''Project M'', with a screenshot of Mewtwo and {{PM|Pikachu}} on Pokémon Stadium 2 being used as a screen texture on said stage. However, it was barely noticed. These were changed to be different pictures after version 3.0. | |
| *Like {{PM|Roy}}, anything that would normally be exclusive to Mewtwo (namely, a [[Codec Conversations|codec conversation]]) reuses that of {{PM|Mario}}'s.
| |
| **Interestingly, Mewtwo uses many data slots that were originally used for {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}. Clearing Classic Mode with it, {{PM|Charizard}}, {{PM|Squirtle}} or {{PM|Ivysaur}} will play Pokémon Trainer's "Congratulations" video and Mewtwo's "Congratulations" screen, and any records with any of the four characters are added to Mewtwo's records. The Pokémon Trainer's name is changed to "Mewtwo" except in the [[Sound Test]] and his character introduction in [[The Subspace Emissary]].
| |
| **Furthermore, clearing Classic or All-Star Mode with Mewtwo grants the player the Mewtwo trophy.
| |
| *When accessing [[replay]]s in ''Brawl'', Mewtwo shows up as "[[Porky Statue|Pokeystatue]]".
| |
| *Whenever Mewtwo appears while Lucario is in the stage in [[All-Star]] mode, its hands will have an aura effect.
| |
| *If one were to delete the custom file used for the announcer calls in ''Project M'' and selects Mewtwo in-game, it reveals to use an unused clip for the [[Fighting Alloy Team]].
| |
| *Coincidentally, Mewtwo's Final Smash is named [[Psystrike]], which would become Mewtwo's Final Smash in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', although it functions completely differently.
