It is one of | '''Mewtwo''' ({{ja|ミュウツー|Myūtsū}}, ''Mewtwo'') is an unlockable [[character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It is one of eleven playable characters that can be unlocked in the game. It is voiced by {{s|wikipedia|Masachika Ichimura}} in the game, reprising his role from the Japanese dub of ''[[bulbapedia:M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. | ||
Mewtwo is | Mewtwo currently ranks 20th on the ''Melee'' [[tier list]], in the D tier, which is its worst placement in the whole series. Its positives include a long and safe recovery, potent chaingrabbing abilities, a large pool of mixup options, decent combo abilities, and among the best throws in the game. This gives it a decent advantage state to utilize and threatening once it begins to combo foes. However, Mewtwo suffers from an unusual combination of being a large target and a lightweight; this, combined with its floatiness, makes it vulnerable to early KOs. Additionally, Mewtwo lacks safe and reliable KOing options, with most of them having little reach, and many weak attacks, giving it relatively fewer approach and offensive options as other characters. | ||
==How to Unlock== | |||
To unlock Mewtwo, the player has to play 20 hours of VS. matches. The time is reduced by the number of human players in said matches; 1 player requires 20 total hours, 2 players require 10 total hours, 3 players require 6 hours and 40 minutes, and 4 players require 5 total hours. The time can be further reduced to 4 hours by playing Lightning Melee, which speeds up the in-game timer to 125% of normal speed. | |||
Alternatively, the player can play 700 VS. matches to completion to get a chance to fight Mewtwo. | |||
When fought, Mewtwo appears on {{SSBM|Final Destination}}, with the music from [[Poké Floats]] playing. | |||

As a result of these traits, Mewtwo has among the longest wavedashes in the game, but a very poor [[SHFFL]], despite its low lag and high speed aerials. Mewtwo also can effectively [[moonwalk]], potentially aiding its edgeguard game. | ||
Among Mewtwo's primary strengths is its versatile grab game. Despite possessing a merely average grab range, Mewtwo's throws can serve a variety of purposes; its forward throw is good for racking up damage or starting combos, while its down throw can potentially start chainthrows or be used as potential combo starters in tandem with one of its tilts. Mewtwo's back and up throws are also among the most powerful in the game, and both can KO reliably on some characters at 100%; the differences in their trajectories also gives Mewtwo varied options against both fast fallers and floaty characters (the up throw works better against the latter, while the back works better against the former). | Among Mewtwo's primary strengths is its versatile grab game.

Mewtwo also has interesting approach and combo options. Despite having among the worse SHFFLs, Mewtwo's high air speed, low falling speed, and fast, low lag, high hitstun aerials also gives it plenty of options in the air, easily and effectively comboing against many characters. Mewtwo can also perform double-jump cancels, which, when combined with L-Cancelling, is an exceptional substitute for SHFFLing, as Mewtwo can quickly perform a Forward Aerial and follow up with another option. Mewtwo also has a very long wavedash (the third longest in the game), making techniques such as wave-smashing and wave-grabbing considerably more useful for Mewtwo. | Mewtwo also has interesting approach and combo options.

Mewtwo also has rather good range. Its forward smash can extend relatively far, and all of its tilts have long, disjointed hitboxes, allowing Mewtwo to effectively attack from a distance, especially when compounded with its long wavedash. Mewtwo also has one of ''Melee'''s strongest projectiles in [[Shadow Ball]]. When fully charged, it can KO reliably at roughly 100%; its jagged path also can make it difficult to dodge, and its recoil can potentially extend Mewtwo's recovery. | Mewtwo also has rather good range.

Mewtwo also has an outstanding recovery. While it cannot harm edgehoggers, a combination of a low falling speed, a high air speed, among the best jumping prowess, and long distance with its [[Teleport]] give Mewtwo a very long and safe recovery. Additionally, its neutral aerial slightly slows down its movement in the air, and slightly charged Shadow Balls can give recoil sufficient enough to send Mewtwo backwards a good distance. Lastly, its [[Confusion]] attack can act as a second jump (when used in the opposite direction of its momentum) and [[Disable]] can be used to stall its descent. | Mewtwo also has an outstanding recovery.

Mewtwo has traditionally placed very low in tier lists, with a minuscule playerbase dedicated to using it.

It was initially seen as the worst character in the game, according to the first tier list (dated October 2002), and hovered around the bottom 4 spots for many years, once even falling back into last place position (eighth tier list; July 2006). This is because many players attributed its placements to unfavorable combinations of being a floaty lightweight without many KO moves, awkward neutral game and hitbox placements, and poor disadvantage state. Mewtwo eventually moved out of the bottom tier due to increasing tournament placings by {{Sm|Taj}}, who was widely considered to be one of the best Mewtwo players in the world, though it never surfaced into the higher tiers, and {{Sm|Taj}} has been far less active while necessitating to select {{SSBM|Fox}} in difficult matchups. However, players such as {{Sm|Zoma}} and {{Sm|Leffen}} have represented Mewtwo in larger competitive tournaments, despite not reaching the same success as Taj. With innovations in good combos and recovery abilities being recognized, Mewtwo currently sits at 20th place. | ||
