Mewtwo fills many archetypes and, despite being relatively tall with a slew of powerful moves, it is actually a [[weight|lightweight]] fighter. Mewtwo's overall mobility is outstanding: its [[walk]]ing, [[dash]]ing, and [[air speed]]s are among the fastest in the game, and its [[double jump]] is the highest in the game. Aside from these attributes, Mewtwo has average [[falling speed]], above-average [[traction]], and below-average [[gravity]].

In the late metagame of ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Mewtwo was ranked as a top tier fighter (specifically 10th out of 55 characters), thanks to its combination of a potent neutral game, excellent mobility, a powerful projectile, and a dangerous combo game. Mewtwo has received a large mix of buffs and nerfs in its transition to ''Ultimate'', but was nerfed overall.

Mewtwo received a mix of buffs and nerfs via game updates, but was buffed significantly overall. Update 1.1.0 noticeably increased [[Disable]]'s ending lag, which made it even riskier to use. Update 2.0.0 improved the consistency of both [[Teleport]] and forward tilt: the former enables Mewtwo to grab edges much more reliably, and the latter is more effective for spacing and KOing due to it launching opponents in front of Mewtwo exclusively instead of potentially behind it. However, this update also made dash attack much less safe on shield by noticeably decreasing its shieldstun multiplier.
