'''Mewtwo''' ({{ja|ミュウツー|Myūtsū}}, ''Mewtwo'') is an unlockable [[character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It is one of the eleven playable characters that can be unlocked in the game.


Mewtwo is voiced in all regions by {{s|wikipedia|Masachika Ichimura}}, who first voiced the Mewtwo from the Japanese version of ''[[bulbapedia:M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
{{cquote|''Mewtwo is definitely not a speedy character, but its ESP-powered grab and throw moves are comparatively strong.''|cite=Description from Mewtwo's trophy.}}


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==
Mewtwo is ranked 21st on the current tier list, in the B tier. While initially deemed the worst character in the game, the changing metagame of ''Melee'' caused Mewtwo to experience a rise of five places. Mewtwo's good attributes include a long, safe, and difficult-to-counter recovery, a rather good chaingrabbing ability, a large variance of mix-up options, a decent combo ability, and among the best throws in the game. However, Mewtwo suffers from an unusual combination of being a large target and a lightweight; this, combined with its floatiness, make it easy to KO. Additionally, Mewtwo has limited KOing options, with most of them having little reach, and many weak attacks, giving it relatively fewer approach and offensive options as other characters.
Mewtwo must be defeated in battle before it can be unlocked. There are two ways the player can encounter Mewtwo:
 
*One way is by playing 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. If this method is used and certain other fighters' VS. match quotas are met, then they must be defeated before Mewtwo can be fought.
==How to Unlock==
*Another way is by playing 700 VS. matches to completion. If this method is used, fighters with lower VS. match quotas must be unlocked before Mewtwo can be fought.
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 hours. 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. If either encounter method was used and the player fails to defeat Mewtwo, the player can re-fight it by playing another VS. match to completion.

==Attributes==
Mewtwo defies any typical character archetype; despite being a big target with some powerful moves and a very high air speed, Mewtwo has a rather slow dash, a low weight and a low falling speed. As a result of these traits, Mewtwo has the third longest wavedash 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.

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).


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.
Among Mewtwo's primary strengths is its varied grab game. Despite an only average grab range, Mewtwo's throws can serve a variety of purposes; its forward throw is good for racking up damages or starting combos and its down throw can potentially start chainthrows or be used as potential combo starters when compounded with one of its tilts. Mewtwo's back and up throws are also 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).


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.

Despite a poor SHFFL (among the worst in the game), 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 a slew of characters. Mewtwo also has a very long wavedash (the third longest in the game), making tactics such as wavesmashing and wavegrabbing considerably more useful and deadly tactics for Mewtwo.


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's biggest flaw is its frailty. A combination of a large frame and floatiness makes Mewtwo easy to juggle and KO. Mewtwo's defense game is also mixed; its air dodge makes it invisible and opponents cannot guess where it will appear and its rolling dodges are fast and cover much distance, but Mewtwo's large frame makes it prone to shield stabbing, and its spot dodge is also rather poor. Mewtwo also has possibly the worst [[tech]] ability in the game; although its rolling tech covers a long range, it is very slow compared to that of other characters, and as a consequence, Mewtwo is particularly easy to [[tech-chase]].

Lastly, [[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 suffers from a lack of reliable KO options; all of its strongest moves have either poor range or low speed. Its back and up throws are powerful, but they require Mewtwo to grab the opponent first, and the latter throw's KOing capabilities are extremely dependent on the opponent's falling speed (for example, {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}} would survive the longest despite having the third highest vertical endurance). While having a wide variety of other KO potential attacks, most of its attacks suffer from range and/or speed problems, such as its forward air, down smash, down air, and Shadow Ball. Mewtwo also has highly situational specials. While [[Confusion]] can temporarily distract opponents, it has high ending lag and relatively little use; additionally, while it can reflect projectiles, they still remain property of the original character's (meaning they won't hurt whoever it came from). [[Disable]] only works in close ranges, and cannot combo effectively into other attacks.
Mewtwo's biggest flaw, however, is that its varied attributes hinder it in terms of survivability. A combination of a large frame and floatiness makes Mewtwo easy to juggle and KO; while other large characters such as {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} have added weight to make them resilient to some KOs, Mewtwo has no such advantage. Mewtwo's defense game is also mixed; its air dodge makes it invisible and opponents cannot guess where it will appear and its rolling dodges are fast and cover much distance, but Mewtwo's large frame makes it prone to shield stabbing, with its sidestep dodge also being rather poor. Mewtwo also has possibly the worst [[tech]] ability in the game; although its rolling tech covers a long range, it is very slow compared to that of other characters, and as a consequence, Mewtwo is particularly easy to [[tech chase]].

====[[Ground attack]]s====
{{MovesetTable
=====Normal=====
|game=SSBM
*[[Neutral attack]]: Dark Flash->Dark Flame - 6%, then 2% or 1% randomly. Mewtwo reaches its arm out, blasting out a bit of shadow energy. Mewtwo will then blast out a stream of shadow energy. The blasts are somewhat awkward to combo with.
|neutralname=Dark Flash ({{ja|ダークフラッシュ|Dāku Furasshu}}) / Dark Flame ({{ja|ダークフレイム|Dāku Fureimu}})
*[[Dash attack]]: Dark Torch - Mewtwo holds its arms out while sliding, inflicting damage with shadow energy. Rather long ending lag. 9% when it comes out, 6% during the rest of the attack.  
|neutralcount=1
*[[Forward tilt]]: Tail Slap - 10%. Mewtwo flicks its tail forward. Quick, decent range, with a disjointed hitbox.
|neutralinf=y
*[[Up tilt]]: Tail Flip - 5%-10%, depending on where it hits. Mewtwo flips upward, hitting with its tail. Good combo starter.
|neutral1dmg=6%
*[[Down tilt]]: Tail Sweep - 9%. Mewtwo spins around, sweeping its tail low. Has a disjointed hitbox.
|neutralinfdmg=2% (loop)
=====Smash=====
|neutraldesc=Mewtwo emits a pulse of dark energy out of its hand, which can be followed up by repeated blasts of shadow energy. The first hit can both be canceled, and can lock opponents.
*[[Forward smash]]: Shadow Blast - Mewtwo shoves forward, releasing a pulse of shadow. Similar to Mario's [[Forward Smash]] in that it is most powerful the farther away the enemy is. Fairly good range and damage, but rather low knockback. The close-up non-sweet spotted hit does {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|12}}. Sweet spot does a stronger {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|20}} uncharged.
|ftiltname=Tail Whip ({{ja|テイルウィップ|Teiru Wippu}})
*[[Up smash]]: Galaxy Force - Mewtwo holds its palm up, releasing a storm of shadow energy above itself that hits multiple times. Can easily be SDI'd out of, and deals rather low knockback. Last hit of the attack can KO around 120%, but can be difficult to land. {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|15}} if all hits connect.
|ftiltdmg=10% (near), 8% (mid), 5% (far)
*[[Down smash]]: Shadow Bomb - Mewtwo hits downward with shadow energy. Good knockback and speed, with moderate range; however, it has the unusual property of being unable to hit both sides of it. {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|15}}.
|ftiltdesc=Mewtwo flicks its tail forward. It has rather low startup and good disjointed range, making it a good spacing tool. Can be aimed up or down.
|utiltname=Flip ({{ja|クイックワイパー|Kuikku Waipā}}, ''Quick Wiper'')
|utiltdmg=10% (near), 8% (mid), 6% (far), 5% (tip)
|utiltdesc=Mewtwo backflips and swings its tail. It deals more damage to opponents near Mewtwo. It is a good combo starter, great for juggling.
|dtiltname=Tail Sweep ({{ja|アンダースラップ|Andā Surappu}}, ''Under Slap'')
|dtiltdmg=9% (near), 8% (mid), 5% (far)
|dtiltdesc=Mewtwo spins once, sweeping its tail in a low profile. Has a disjointed hitbox. It is a reliable combo starter that can lead into many of its moves.
|dashname=Dark Torch ({{ja|ダークトーチ|Dāku Tōchi}})
|dashdmg=9% (clean), 6% (late)
|dashdesc=Holds its arms out while sliding, inflicting damage with shadow energy. Rather long ending lag.
|fsmashname=Shadow Blast ({{ja|シャドーブラスト|Shadō Burasuto}})
|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|20}} (blast), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|12}} (arms)
|fsmashdesc=Thrusts both arms forward, releasing a pulse of shadow energy. Similar to Mario's forward smash, with the sweetspot being the blast itself. Fairly good range and damage, but rather low knockback. The sweetspot has [[Priority#Transcendent_priority|transcendent priority]].
|usmashname=Galaxy Force ({{ja|ギャラクシーフォース|Gyarakushī Fōsu}})
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|1}} (hits 1-6), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|10}} (hit 7)
|usmashdesc=Holds its palm up, summoning a large, dark vortex above itself that hits multiple times. Can easily be SDI'd out of, and deals rather low knockback. The last hit of the attack can KO around 120%, but can be difficult to land.
|dsmashname=Shadow Bomb ({{ja|シャドーボム|Shadō Bomu}})
|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|15}}
|dsmashdesc=Extends its arm downwards and summons an explosion of shadow energy at its feet. Good knockback and speed, with moderate range and a good edgeguard and or combo finisher; however, it has the unusual property of only hitting in front of Mewtwo. This attack has transcendent priority. In terms of starting lag, it is the slowest down smash in the game (hits on frame 20), though its ending lag is very low.
|nairname=Body Spark ({{ja|ボディスパーク|Bodi Supāku}})
|nairdmg=1-2% (hits 1-8), 4% (hit 9 & landing)
|nairdesc=Releases a long lasting shock out of its body. Good punishing option and great [[OoS]] option. Good damage if the entire attack hits, as well as good combo extender. Also slows down Mewtwo's falling speed slightly, making it useful for recovery.
|fairname=Shadow Scratch ({{ja|シャドースクラッチ|Shadō Sukuracchi}})
|fairdmg=14%
|fairdesc=Swipes its left arm forward, engulfed with shadow energy. High vertical knockback, useful for combos, juggling, and KOs, but mediocre range. Can lead into an up tilt if [[DJC]]'d, depending on the character. Can KO at 120%.
|bairname=Tail Flick ({{ja|エアテイル|Ea Teiru}}, ''Air Tail'')
|bairdmg=13% (near), 11% (mid), 9% (far)
|bairdesc=Whips its tail behind itself. Decent range and is a decent [[wall of pain]] technique. Deals more damage if the opponent is closer to Mewtwo's body.
|uairname=Somersault Kick ({{ja|サマーソルトアタック|Samāsoruto Atakku}})
|uairdmg=10% (near), 12% (mid), 14% (far)
|uairdesc=Flips upward, hitting with its tail. A good juggling move. Deals more damage if the opponent hits the tip of Mewtwo's tail.
|dairname=Meteor Kick ({{ja|メテオキック|Meteo Kikku}})
|dairdmg=14-16%
|dairdesc=Flips backward and stomps downwards. Acts as a [[meteor smash]], albeit a very weak one. However, due to its low ending lag and Mewtwo's stellar recovery, it is a low-risk option offstage.
|grabname=Psychic ({{ja|サイコキネシス|Saikokineshisu}}, ''Psychokinesis'')
|grabdesc=&nbsp;
|pummelname=Dark Shock ({{ja|エレキショック|Ereki Shokku}}, ''Electric Shock'')
|pummeldmg=3%
|pummeldesc=Mewtwo zaps the opponent in its grasp. Moderately slow.
|fthrowname=Shadow Cannon ({{ja|シャドーマシンガン|Shadō Mashin Gan}}, ''Shadow Machine Gun'')
|fthrowdmg=3% (throw), 2% (Shadow Balls)
|fthrowdesc=Mewtwo throws its foe diagonally forward and then shoots five small [[Shadow Ball]]s (which can be [[absorb]]ed and [[reflect]]ed). Great damage racker if used against a wall or overhang but can be SDI'd out of. The speed which the Shadow Balls are fired is dependent on the opponent's weight.
|bthrowname=Telekinesis ({{ja|サイコスロー|Saiku Surō}}, ''Psycho Throw'')
|bthrowdmg=8% (collateral), 11% (throw)
|bthrowdesc=Mewtwo telekinetically tosses its opponent behind itself. One of the strongest back throws in the game, among its best KO moves, being the third strongest back throw (only losing out to {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}} and {{SSBM|Ness}})
|uthrowname=Psychic Whirlwind ({{ja|ワールスロー|Wāru Surō}}, ''Whirl Throw'')
|uthrowdmg=12%
|uthrowdesc=Mewtwo uses Psychic to swirl the opponent around its body before launching them upwards. The strongest up throw in the game and the strongest throw in ''Melee'' overall (being even stronger than {{SSBM|Ness}}'s back throw), being one of Mewtwo's best KO moves, which begins KO'ing at around 120%. At low percentages, it can chaingrab fast fallers and can lead into forward aerial to regrab on Fox/Falco.
|dthrowname=Tail Slap ({{ja|テイルビート|Tēru Bīto}}, ''Tail Beat'')
|dthrowdmg=5% (hit 1), 6% (throw)
|dthrowdesc=Mewtwo throws the enemy down and strikes them with its tail. Can reliably lead into follow-ups, usually forward aerial. Can be used to [[chaingrab]] large characters like {{SSBM|Bowser}}. The tail can hit nearby opponents.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=7% (tail), 5% (sides)
|floorfdesc=Mewtwo telekinetically gets itself up and spins around with its tail extended. Anyone who comes in contact with Mewtwo's body will be [[electric|shocked]].
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=6% (tail), 5% (sides)
|floorbdesc=Mewtwo telekinetically gets itself up and spins around with its tail extended. Anyone who comes in contact with Mewtwo's body will be shocked.
|edgefname=&nbsp;
|edgefdmg=6% (body), 8% (tail)
|edgefdesc=Mewtwo flips onto the stage, using its tail to attack.
|edgesname=&nbsp;
|edgesdmg=10%
|edgesdesc=Mewtwo telekinetically walks on the side of the stage, then jumps on the stage and swipes its hand forward.
|nsname=Shadow Ball
|nsdmg=3-25%, 2% (charge hits)
|nsdesc=Mewtwo concentrates shadow energy into a large sphere, which can be canceled partway by pressing either the [[L button|L]] or the [[R button]]. The attack itself is a powerful projectile that travels in a wavy path, exploding when it comes to contact with a surface (though the explosion doesn't do anything). If used in the air, Mewtwo will recoil backwards a great amount, which can help or hinder its recovery.
|ssname=Confusion
|ssdmg=10%
|ssdesc=A command grab that spins foes around, flipping them. This is very punishable, as its hitstun is so low that every character in the game can connect with a back aerial before Mewtwo can act. The attack also reflects projectiles, but this has a fatal flaw: the projectile's ownership does not change. This means that only projectiles that would normally hurt the user would feel any effects of this.
|usname=Teleport
|usdmg=-
|usdesc=Mewtwo quickly vanishes and reappears in a different location. Can be directed with the [[control stick]]. Mewtwo is completely invulnerable during the move.
|dsname=Disable
|dsdmg=1%
|dsdesc=Mewtwo shoots out a short beam from its eyes forward, [[stun]]ning any opponents who make eye contact with Mewtwo. If the move is performed whilst the character is already dazed, he or she will be launched. If the move hits an opponent in the air, they will take no knockback, but will be put in their [[tumbling]] state. This attack can be reflected and has transcendent priority.
}}


===Battering item special moves===
=====Other=====
For its dash attack while holding a battering item, Mewtwo spins the item in front of itself for a total of 20 possible hits, overall dealing more damage but much less knockback than other characters' dash attacks. Unlike most characters' dash attacks, Mewtwo's dash attack while holding a [[Lip's Stick]] does not produce any of the "magic dust" that [[Flower]]s the opponent.
*[[Ledge attack]] - Mewtwo flips onto the stage, using its tail to attack. 8%.
*100% ledge attack - Mewtwo telekinetically walks on the side of the stage, then suddenly jumps on the stage and swipes with a claw. 10%.
*[[Floor attack]] - Mewtwo telekinetically gets itself up and spins around with its tail extended. 5%-7%, depending on how close the enemy is.

*{{Sm|iori|USA}} - A player with many secondaries, with Mewtwo being one of his most notable. He won {{Trn|Intimikill 2}} using exclusively Mewtwo, being the one of the few times the character has won a somewhat notable tournament in ''Melee'''s history. He also placed 33rd at {{Trn|GENESIS}} with solo Mewtwo.
*{{Sm|Mew2King|USA}}
*{{Sm|Taj|USA}} - Considered to be the best Mewtwo player of all time, created the influental [[Shadowclaw]] combo video. He holds some of the best Mewtwo results with 13th at {{Trn|EVO 2013}} and 17th at {{Trn|Apex 2010}}, as well as 33rd at {{Trn|GENESIS 9}} which is the best Mewtwo result seen in the Post-Slippi era.
*{{Sm|Taj|USA}}
*{{Sm|Zoma|Japan}} - Best Mewtwo player in Japan and among the best in the world, though is currently inactive. Regionally has shown good results with the character with 7th at {{Trn|KSB 2016}} and wins over players such as {{Sm|Shippu}} and has travelled internationally with 33rd at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2016}}, beating {{Sm|Cyrain}} and {{Sm|TheSWOOPER}} in his path.

===Tier placement and history===
===Tier placement and history===
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 (eighth tier list; July 2006). Many competitive players immediately noticed its unfavorable combinations of being a floaty lightweight without many KO moves, awkward neutral game and hitbox placements, and poor disadvantage state, and simply wrote Mewtwo off.
Mewtwo has traditionally placed very low in tier lists, with a very small 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). Mewtwo eventually moved out of the bottom tier due to increasing tournament placings by {{Sm|Taj}}, who is widely considered to be the best Mewtwo player in the world, though it still ranks quite low, cashing in at 21st place in the B tier in the present day.


Mewtwo eventually moved out of the bottom tier due to increasing tournament placings by {{Sm|Taj}}, who would not only eventually be considered the best Mewtwo player of all time, but become one of the best players in the world in his prime. However, Taj's success as a player was not anchored on Mewtwo alone - he relied almost exclusively on his co-main {{SSBM|Marth}} late into brackets unless he knew his opponent to be very unfamiliar with the Mewtwo matchup. This indicated that even back then, Mewtwo was not viable as a solo main and faltered at the highest level.
==In Single Player modes==


Eventually, Taj would become far less active, leaving the character without good representation for several years. However, players such as {{Sm|Zoma}} and {{Sm|Leffen}} have recently represented Mewtwo in larger competitive tournaments, despite not reaching the same success as Taj. Mewtwo still sits at 20th place on the most recent tier list; with these two players innovating with the character, the competitive ''Melee'' community recognizes that Mewtwo has some potential despite its tier placement. However, it is unlikely that this will carry Mewtwo much higher than it currently is.
===In [[Classic Mode]]===
 
Mewtwo can appear in Classic Mode as an ordinary opponent, as an ally or in a team with Ness or Bowser in team battles or as a metal character in the penultimate stage. In Mewtwo's appearances, it either appears on [[Pokémon Stadium]] or {{SSBM|Final Destination}}; when fighting alongside {{SSBM|Ness}}, however, it appears in [[Fourside]], and when fighting alongside {{SSBM|Bowser}}, it appears on {{SSBM|Battlefield}}.

*When hit, shooting a charged [[Super Scope]] blast, or using [[Disable]], Mewtwo's irises turn yellow, similar to how {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s body turns yellow when shooting charged Super Scope shots.
|image=Mewtwo Trophy (Smash).png
*If the game language is switched to Japanese, Mewtwo will speak in full sentences for some of its victory poses. In English, Mewtwo only laughs during its victory poses and its taunt.
|mode=Adventure
*According to the Pokédex, Mewtwo is supposed to weigh 269 pounds. Despite this, it has a light weight value of 85 in ''Melee'', which is lighter than much smaller characters like {{SSBM|Peach}}, {{SSBM|Zelda}}, and the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}, while being equivalent to the much smaller {{SSBM|Young Link}} in weight. With ''Brawl'' factored, Mewtwo weighs less in ''Melee'' than {{SSBB|Charizard}}, {{SSBB|Lucario}}, and {{SSBB|Ivysaur}} do in ''Brawl'' (who have a weight value of 110, 100, and 100 respectively), despite the former two Pokemon weighing less than 200 pounds, while Ivysaur is supposed to weigh a mere 28.7 pounds.

**Also, in the Pokémon RPGs, Mewtwo is tied for being the sixth fastest Pokémon as of Generation V with a base speed of 130, being much faster than {{SSBM|Pikachu}}. Despite this, Mewtwo has a slow walking and dashing speed in ''Melee''.

|game=Melee
*Mewtwo, like {{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Roy}}, when faced in Classic or All-Star mode, is fought on a stage that doesn't match its universe (either {{SSBM|Battlefield}} or {{SSBM|Final Destination}}). However, the music that plays when fighting it is from [[Poké Floats]].

==Trivia==
==={{Sm|UmbreonMow}}===
*Mewtwo picks up and uses items via its telekinetic power, never actually touching them outside grasping the [[Parasol]] while falling. One of its idle poses involves it spinning its held item around.
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRpvBYMemjA&search=mewtwo%20vs UmbreonMow vs. Cape (Bowser) part 1]
**This results in Mewtwo having poor usage of the {{b|Hammer|item}}; unlike all other characters, it spins the Hammer sideways around itself, and so is vulnerable from above while using it.
*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p73BkyGPGo8&search=mewtwo%20vs UmbreonMow vs. Cape (Bowser) part 2]
**Oddly, when [[air dodging]] with an item, the item is visible while Mewtwo is not, spinning in a tight, flickering circle once every 4 frames.
*When hit, shooting a charged [[Super Scope]] blast, or using [[Disable]], Mewtwo's irises turn yellow, similar to how {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s body turns yellow when shooting charged Super Scope shots.
*Mewtwo being of light weight (85 units) contradicts its Pokédex information, where it is supposed to outweigh any non-overweight human. In fact, it is outweighed by every human character in ''Melee'' (excluding {{SSBM|Roy}}, {{SSBM|Young Link}}, and {{SSBM|Marth}} in PAL regions). This is explained in one of its trophies as a result of it constantly using its psychic powers to stay afloat.
*Mewtwo's fully charged [[Shadow Ball]] is seen hitting {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} in the introduction to ''Melee'', making it one of the five hidden characters, along with {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}, {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, Young Link, and {{SSBM|Pichu}}, to have some kind of involvement in the intro.
*Mewtwo, like Marth and Roy, when faced in Classic or All-Star mode, is fought on a stage that does not match its universe (either {{SSBM|Battlefield}} or {{SSBM|Final Destination}}). However, the music that plays when fighting it is from [[Poké Floats]].
*Mewtwo is also the only character in ''Melee'' whose down smash only hits on one side; this concept has been used by several characters in later games.
*Mewtwo is the only Legendary Pokémon that existed at the time of the release of ''Melee'' that wasn't a Poké Ball Pokémon in that game.
*Mewtwo's design in this game looks quite different than in later games from ''SSB4'' onwards; it's design lines up more with Ken Sugimori's original art for Mewtwo from ''Pokémon Red and Green'', with a larger head and bulging eyes, smaller and thinner body, shorter tail and a slightly hunchbacked appearance, while later appearances portrayed it as being more humanoid in appearance, with a slightly smaller head and eyes, a taller, muscular, and more upright body, with a longer tail as it appears in ''Pokémon: The First Movie''.
*Mewtwo is the first playable ''Pokémon'' character whose alternate costumes merely change its color altogether, rather than giving it an accessory for it to wear.
*Mewtwo's All-Star congratulations image is likely a reference to Giygas in ''EarthBound Beginnings'' (known as "Giegue" in the North American localization), due to it bearing a strong resemblance to Giygas's appearance in that game.
*One of Mewtwo's Japanese quotes, "Why am I here?", is a well-known one among Japanese ''Pokémon'' fans, as throughout the Japanese version of the first ''Pokémon'' movie, ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', it asks this question and others regarding its own existence.
*Despite its light weight in ''Melee'', Mewtwo is still the heaviest Pokémon fighter in the game. This would change with the additions of [[Lucario]], [[Ivysaur]] and [[Charizard]] in ''Brawl''.
**Furthermore, Mewtwo actually weighs more in ''Melee'' than it does in its later ''Smash'' appearances.
*''Melee''{{'}}s Mewtwo is the first ''Pokémon'' character in ''Smash'' to speak a human language; it speaks Japanese in the game's Japanese version.
