Mewtwo's return to the series was initially met positively, as players had soon noticed its increased mobility, power and range, which in turn led to it being perceived as a mid-tier character. However, players also lamented the nerfs to Mewtwo's already poor endurance. When coupled with other issues that became more prominent over the time, players gradually started to agree that Mewtwo's improved offense was not sufficient enough to compensate, in a case similar to Ike. While these drawbacks saw Mewtwo's perception plummet, some players insisted that Mewtwo was underrated and that critics were too focused on its frailty to see its positive traits. As time went on, Mewtwo received buffs via game updates, most notably to its mobility and aerials. These improvements led it to be ranked 37th on the first tier list, which established it as a low-tier character like in ''Melee''. | Mewtwo's return to the series was initially met positively, as players had soon noticed its increased mobility, power and range, which in turn led to it being perceived as a mid-tier character.

Despite {{Sm|WaDi}} achieving some very notable results, such as placing 5th at [[Super Smash Con 2017]] and [[2GGC: MkLeo Saga]], Mewtwo's tournament presence has slightly waned since then, owing to players becoming more capable of exploiting its weaknesses. This was further compounded by its best player, Abadango, picking up {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} as a co-main and using her more often. Due to its slightly worsened perception and results, Mewtwo has dropped to 10th on the fourth and current tier list. Some smashers, however, like {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|ANTi}} believe that it should be ranked slightly higher. | Despite {{Sm|WaDi}} achieving some very notable results, such as placing 5th at [[Super Smash Con 2017]] and [[2GGC: MkLeo Saga]], Mewtwo's tournament presence has slightly waned since then, owing to players becoming more capable of exploiting its weaknesses.
