 Rather than retaining {{s|wikipedia|Masachika Ichimura}} as its voice actor from ''Melee'', Mewtwo is now voiced by {{s|wikipedia|Keiji Fujiwara}}, who imitates some of the former's voice clips from ''Melee''.
-Mewtwo is ranked 10th out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing it in the A tier. This is a significant improvement from its low-tier placement in ''Melee'', where it was ranked 20th out of 26, and is its best placement in the series. Mewtwo boasts excellent mobility: in addition to retaining its very fast [[air speed]], its [[walk]]ing and [[dash]]ing speeds have become drastically faster, and it can now [[wall jump]].
+Mewtwo is ranked 10th out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing it in the A tier. This is a drastic improvement from its low-tier placement in ''Melee'', where it was ranked 20th out of 26, and is its best placement in the series. Mewtwo boasts excellent mobility: in addition to retaining its very fast [[air speed]], its [[walk]]ing and [[dash]]ing speeds have become drastically faster, and it can now [[wall jump]].
 Mewtwo also possesses a flexible combo game. Its neutral attack is a very reliable [[jab cancel]], even at high percentages, while its down tilt and [[fast fall]]ing up aerial both possess a variety of follow-ups at low to high percentages. Like in ''Melee'', Mewtwo's grab game is potent: its forward throw is tied for the most damaging throw of its kind in the game, whereas its back and up throws are viable KOing options. Mewtwo also boasts a respectable number of potent KOing options: in addition its up and back throws, its smash attacks, forward aerial, and fully charged [[Shadow Ball]] each possess considerable power.

Repeatedly pressing the attack button causes Mewtwo to sway its arm up and down to emit multiple pulses of dark energy before finishing with a dark energy-infused upward swipe. The first hit can be [[jab cancel]]ed, with notable follow-ups including itself, up tilt, down tilt, a grab, forward smash, and forward aerial.

 |ftiltdmg=10% (near), 9% (mid), 8% (far)
 |ftiltdesc=Swings its tail forward. It is Mewtwo's strongest tilt attack, has good range and can be angled, all of which make it useful for spacing beginning at 40%. It can also be a situational, albeit rather unsuitable KO option at around 140% near the edge against middleweights.

 |utiltdmg=6% (nearest), 5% (near), 4% (far), 3% (farthest), 4.5% (farthest hitbox to opponents in front of Mewtwo)
 |utiltdesc=Telekinetically backflips to swing its tail in an overhead arcing motion. Its near hitboxes' launching angles allows them to combo into themselves, an up smash, a back aerial, or an up aerial from 0% to low percentages. They can also be used for juggling beginning at medium percentages. In comparison, its far hitboxes can be used for spacing. It has overall long range, as it can hit opponents near Mewtwo's back.
-|dtiltname=&nbsp;
+|dtiltname=Tail Sweep ({{ja|アンダースラップ|Andā Surappu}}, ''Under Slap'')
 |dtiltdmg=5% (near), 4.5% (mid), 4% (far)
 |dtiltdesc=Crouches and spins around to swing its tail in front of itself. Due to it hitting on frame 6 and having very low ending lag, it is Mewtwo's fastest tilt, which allows it to function as a good [[out of shield]] option. It is also Mewtwo's best combo starter and, like up tilt, has hitboxes that launch at different angles. As a result, it can combo into up tilt, a dashing up smash, neutral aerial, forward aerial, and up aerial.

+|dashname=Dark Torch ({{ja|ダークトーチ|Dāku Tōchi}})
 |dashdmg=10% (clean sweetspot), 9% (clean sourspot), 6% (late sweetspot), 4% (late sourspot)
 |dashdesc=A lunging, dark energy-infused palm thrust. Its clean sweetspot deals above average knockback. Depending on the hitbox it hits with and the opponent's damage, it can combo into neutral, forward, and up aerial. Its disjointed hitbox grants it impressive range for a dash attack, which makes it a decent punishment option at certain distances, and potentially difficult for the opponent to punish from a proper distance.

+|fsmashname=Shadow Blast ({{ja|シャドーブラスト|Shadō Burasuto}})

 |fsmashdesc=Quickly cups its hands to its side, and then thrusts them forward to perform a double palm thrust that emits a blast of dark energy. It is Mewtwo's most damaging smash attack, as even its sourspot has respectable power. Due to it hitting on frame 19 and having 31 frames of ending lag, however, its is very punishable. Its sweetspot KOs middleweights at 95% while near the edge of Final Destination in the {{for3ds}}, and at 86% in {{forwiiu}}. In comparison, its sourspot KOs them at 101% while near the edge of Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version, and at 91% in the ''Wii U'' version.

 |usmashdesc=Thrusts its arm upward to emit a swirling blast of dark energy. Due to it hitting on frame 9, it is quite fast for a smash attack, and has the lowest amount of start-up lag out of Mewtwo's smash attacks. It hits multiple times, which makes it a useful anti-air attack. However, its 33 frames of ending lag is the highest amount of out Mewtwo's smashes, which in turn makes it punishable. It can also miss small opponents, or opponents with very low crouches. Its last hit KOs aerial middleweights at 104% from anywhere on Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version, and at 96% in the ''Wii U'' version.
-|dsmashname=&nbsp;

 |dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|15}}
 |dsmashdesc=Extends its arm at a diagonal angle toward the ground to emit a blast of dark energy from its fingertip. It is one of the few down smashes that does not hit on both sides, but it is powerful nonetheless, and has the highest knockback scaling out of Mewtwo's entire moveset. It has 22 frames of ending lag, which is the lowest amount out of its smash attacks, and can be interrupted rather early. As its power grants it safety against shields, it is useful for hard punishes and can be spammed rather safely. Due to it hitting on frame 21, however, it has the highest amount of start-up lag out of Mewtwo's smashes. It KOs middleweights at 103% while near the edge of Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version, and at 93% in the ''Wii U'' version.
-|nairname=&nbsp;
+|nairname=Body Spark ({{ja|ボディスパーク|Bodi Supāku}})
 |nairdmg=1% (hits 1-8), 4% (hit 9)
 |nairdesc=Discharges electricity around itself. Its hitboxes are positioned at Mewtwo's hands and feet and keep the opponent trapped, whereas its last hitbox launches them. As a result, it is very useful for disrupting opponents, as Mewtwo has full control over its aerial movement even while using the move, allowing it to weave in and out to prevent approaches. However, it no longer has a landing hitbox like in ''Melee'', which means that opponents can end up close to Mewtwo if the move ends early.
-|fairname=&nbsp;
+|fairname=Shadow Scratch ({{ja|シャドースクラッチ|Shadō Sukuracchi}})
 |fairdmg=13%
 |fairdesc=A dark energy-infused swipe. Due to it hitting on frame 6, it has the lowest amount of start-up lag out of Mewtwo's aerial attacks. When coupled with its respectable damage output and high knockback scaling, it is one of Mewtwo's most viable KOing options. It also boasts combo potential at low percentages, as it can also combo into itself, or be used as a follow-up from down tilt or neutral aerial. It KOs middleweights at 117% while near the edge of Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version, and at 107% in the ''Wii U'' version. Despite its aforementioned dark energy visual effects, it has both [[darkness]] and [[slash]] [[effect]]s.
-|bairname=&nbsp;

 |bairdmg=13% (near), 11% (mid), 9% (far)
 |bairdesc=Swings its tail in an upward arc. It has a very large range, which makes it a decent gimping option when timed properly. Due to it hitting on frame 13, however, it has the second highest amount of start-up lag out of Mewtwo's aerial attacks. Its 17 frames of of landing lag is also the second highest amount out of its aerials. Its near hitbox KOs middleweights at 138% while near the edge of Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version, and at 126% in the ''Wii U'' version.

+|uairname=Somersault Attack ({{ja|サマーソルトアタック|Samāsoruto Atakku}})
 |uairdmg=11% (near), 10% (mid), 9% (far)
 |uairdesc=Backflips to swing its tail in an overhead arcing motion, similarly to its up tilt. Its 13 frames of landing lag is tied with neutral aerial's for the lowest amount out of Mewtwo's aerial attacks. Despite its appearance, it is unable to hit opponents next to Mewtwo. Its near hitbox KOs middleweights at 103% while near the upper [[blast line]] of Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version, and at 95% in the ''Wii U'' version.
-|dairname=&nbsp;
+|dairname=Meteor Kick ({{ja|メテオキック|Meteo Kikku}})
 |dairdmg=14% (grounded opponents, aerial sourspot), 15% (aerial sweetspot)
 |dairdesc=Backflips to perform a dark energy-infused stomp. It is Mewtwo's most damaging aerial attack. When coupled with its high knockback scaling, it is strong enough to KO grounded middleweights at 135% from anywhere on Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version, and at 126% in the ''Wii U'' version. It is also a powerful [[meteor smash]] when sweetspotted in the air. Due to it hitting on frame 15, however, it has the highest amount of start-up lag out of Mewtwo's aerials. Despite its aforementioned dark energy visuals appearing right where Mewtwo stomps, it does not have a darkness effect.

 |pummeldmg=2%
 |pummeldesc=Electrocutes the opponent. A fairly fast pummel, however it is a little slower than other pummels of the same strength, making it somewhat weak overall. This is due to the move having the electric effect, but unlike Pikachu's pummel, it does not have a reduced hitlag multiplier to compensate for the bonus to hitlag from electric moves, and as such the pummel is slower than its frame data would suggest.

+|fthrowname=Shadow Cannon ({{ja|シャドーマシンガン|Shadō Mashin Gan}}, ''Shadow Machine Gun'')
 |fthrowdmg=3% (hit 1), 2% (Shadow Balls)
 |fthrowdesc=Telekinetically lifts the opponent diagonally in the air before firing five [[Shadow Ball]]s at them. As of update 1.1.0, it is tied with {{SSB4|Ganondorf}} and maximum [[Aura]] {{SSB4|Lucario}}'s forward throws as the most damaging forward throw in the game. However, the Shadow Balls can be reflected if the opponent wears a [[Franklin Badge]], while other nearby opponents with reflectors and/or absorption moves can choose to intercept it.
-|bthrowname=&nbsp;
+|bthrowname=Psycho Throw ({{ja|サイコスロー|Saiko Surō}})
 |bthrowdmg=10%
 |bthrowdesc=Telekinetically throws the opponent backward. Despite having its damage output and knockback scaling lowered since ''Melee'', it is one of the strongest back throws in the game. It KOs middleweights at 151% while near the edge of Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version, and at 142% in the ''Wii U'' version.
-|uthrowname=&nbsp;
+|uthrowname=Psychic Whirlwind ({{ja|ワールスロー|Wāru Surō}}, ''Whirl Throw'')
 |uthrowdmg=12%
 |uthrowdesc=Telekinetically spins the opponent around itself before launching them upward. Although its overall knockback has lowered considerably since ''Melee'', it is the second strongest up throw in the game, surpassed only by {{SSB4|Charizard}}'s up throw as of update 1.0.8. Unlike Charizard's up throw, however, Mewtwo's is much less susceptible to [[directional influence]], thanks to it launching at 90°. It KOs middleweights at 142% from anywhere on Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version, and at 131% in the ''Wii U'' version.
-|dthrowname=&nbsp;
+|dthrowname=Tail Beat ({{ja|テイルビート|Teiru Bīto}})
 |dthrowdmg=4% (hit 1), 5% (throw)
 |dthrowdesc=Telekinetically slams the opponent to the ground, and then somersaults in order to strike them with its tail. It has low knockback and somewhat high ending lag. As a result, it cannot properly combo into most of its moves, though it can be used to punish an opponent's reaction.

 ===Tier placement and history===
 Mewtwo's return to the series was initially met positively, as players had soon noticed its increased mobility, power and range, which in turn led to it being perceived as a mid-tier character. However, players also lamented the nerfs to Mewtwo's already poor endurance. When coupled with other issues that became more prominent over the time, players gradually started to agree that Mewtwo's improved offense was not sufficient enough to compensate, in a case similar to Ike. While these drawbacks saw Mewtwo's perception plummet, some players insisted that Mewtwo was underrated and that critics were too focused on its frailty to see its positive traits. As time went on, Mewtwo received buffs via game updates, most notably to its mobility and aerials. These improvements led it to be ranked 37th on the first tier list, which established it as a low-tier character like in ''Melee''.
@@ Line 383: / Line 435: @@
 Despite {{Sm|WaDi}} achieving some very notable results, such as placing 5th at [[Super Smash Con 2017]] and [[2GGC: MkLeo Saga]], Mewtwo's tournament presence has slightly waned since then, owing to players becoming more capable of exploiting its weaknesses. This was further compounded by its best player, Abadango, picking up {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} as a co-main and using her more often. Due to its slightly worsened perception and results, Mewtwo has dropped to 10th on the fourth and current tier list. Some smashers, however, like {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|ANTi}} believe that it should be ranked slightly higher.

 ==[[Trophies]]==
-Mewtwo comes with matching character trophies, which are unlocked as usual. However, its (Alt.) trophy will also be automatically granted upon booting up the {{GameIcon|ssb4-u}} version. Its existing non-fighter trophy remains in the game, completely unchanged; both it and the Classic trophy are simply labeled as "Mewtwo" in-game.
+Mewtwo's fighter trophy is obtained by clearing Classic Mode as Mewtwo. Its alternate trophy is obtained by clearing All-Star Mode as Mewtwo in the 3DS version or booting up the game after downloading Mewtwo in the Wii U version. The Psystrike trophy is obtained only in the Wii U version by clearing All-Star Mode as Mewtwo. Mewtwo also has a non-fighter trophy as part of the base game that can be purchased in the Trophy Shop for 500G (or 10 Play Coins) in the 3DS version or 1500G in the Wii U version.

 *Mewtwo and {{SSB4|Lucario}} are the only playable Pokémon in ''SSB4'' who do not emerge from a [[Poké Ball]] as part of their [[on-screen appearance]]s.
 *Although Mewtwo's [[Final Smash]] involves {{s|bulbapedia|Mega Evolution}}, it differs from {{SSB4|Charizard}} and Lucario's in a few distinct ways. Mewtwo's is used for a single attack and renders it both invincible and stationary for its duration, whereas Charizard and Lucario's function as transformations that grant improved offense, mobility, and [[armor]] for their durations. Mewtwo's Final Smash is also referred to by its primary attack's name of [[Psystrike]], instead of simply as "Mega Evolution".
-*In Mewtwo's reveal trailer, [[Ness]] is shown stalking Mewtwo while holding a [[Master Ball]]. This is a reference to standard ''Pokémon'' games, where the player character is often young and tasked with catching every Pokémon.
