It can be fired at any time by pressing B again while charging. It will deal gradually more [[damage]] and [[knockback]] the bigger it gets. The player can cancel the move and save the charge by [[shield]]ing, [[roll]]ing, [[spot dodge|spot dodging]], or, to cancel with no additional action, by lightly tapping the shield button. Mewtwo can also charge the move in the air, where canceling it will make Mewtwo stop its charging animation normally as opposed to shielding or rolling. | ||
When a full charge is saved, both of Mewtwo's hands will constantly glow with dark power. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', only Mewtwo's left hand glows. | When a full charge is saved, both of Mewtwo's hands will constantly glow with dark power. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

In the air, it works the same way. This can be used as a [[recovery]] technique, as it will turn Mewtwo around to face the other direction so the recoil can send it towards the stage. | ||

For this, use the aforementioned inputs in the reverse order: first tap the direction you want to face, and then press B immediately. Combined with its ability to be quickly canceled with a shield button, this technique allows Mewtwo to be even more mobile in the air. | ||

The shadow glitch is a glitch exclusive to version 1.0 of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It was discovered by {{sm|INF8}}, {{sm|Veg}}, and {{sm|Simna ibn Sind}}; it allows the Shadow Balls in {{SSBM|Mewtwo}}'s forward throw to be caught as items. This requires three characters: one Mewtwo, one character to catch the Shadow Ball, and one other character to be thrown. | The shadow glitch is a glitch exclusive to version 1.0 of ''Super Smash Bros.
