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 | 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, featuring above-average [[air speed|air]], [[walk]]ing and [[dash]]ing speeds. 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. In addition, Mewtwo features a strong set of throws, with its forward throw being tied for the most damaging throw of its kind in the game, whereas its back and up throws are viable KOing options. Alongside the latter, Mewtwo also boasts a respectable number of other strong moves that possess considerable power, including its smash attacks, forward aerial, and fully charged [[Shadow Ball]]. Finally, its airdodge causes it to disappear completely and is the fastest one in the game, making it quite spammable. | ||
Mewtwo also | However, Mewtwo also has several notable weaknesses. The biggest weakness is its fragility, as Mewtwo's tall stature and very light [[weight]] makes it easier to KO compared to most of the cast. This, in turn, is compounded by Mewtwo's slightly below-average frame data and slow double jump, which forces it to rely on its neutral aerial, forward aerial, or [[Teleport]] to escape pressure more often than not. | ||
After initially being a poorly perceived character upon its release, game updates significantly improved Mewtwo's viability over time. This has been reflected by players such as {{Sm|Abadango}}, {{Sm|Rich Brown}}, and {{Sm|WaDi}} consistently achieving high placings in competitive play, whose successes have helped Mewtwo achieve top-tier status since the game's second tier list. | |||

In regard to playstyle, Mewtwo's is an odd combination of styles: it fits the archetype of a glass cannon, yet typically relies on bait and punish tactics and defensive maneuvers to keep opponents from performing rushdowns and capitalizing on its very tall frame and extremely light weight. This does not mean Mewtwo is forced to rely on [[turtling]], however, as its outstanding mobility, excellent air game, and overall powerful moveset make it a force to be reckoned with. As such, Mewtwo is a "high-risk, high-reward" character with a fairly high learning curve, as it has to capitalize on reads more often than not because of its frailty and susceptibility to pressure. | In regard to playstyle, Mewtwo's is an odd combination of styles: it fits the archetype of a glass cannon, yet typically relies on bait and punish tactics and defensive maneuvers to keep opponents from performing rushdowns and capitalizing on its very tall frame and extremely light weight.
