The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

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 Mewtwo's 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 minuscule playerbase dedicated to using it.

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 (and still is not) viable as a solo main at the highest level. | 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.

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. | Eventually, Taj would become far less active, leaving the character without good representation for several years.
