(→‎Trivia: IIRC, All-Star Mode in Melee uses a priority system of some sorts, meaning if Mewtwo is selected as the main fighter, you'll still get its stage and music. Correct me if I'm wrong.)

'''Event Match 44: Mewtwo Strikes!''' is one of the 51 [[Event Match|Event Matches]] from the [[Event Mode]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.  The opponents are both [[Zelda (SSBM)|Zelda]] and [[Mewtwo (SSBM)|Mewtwo]]. The match starts off with Zelda, and she can be attacked without penalty, but [[KO]]'ing her causes the match to end in failure. Mewtwo joins the fight after fifteen seconds - KO'ing him is the goal.
'''Mewtwo Strikes!''' is the 44th [[event match]] of the 51 event matches in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.  


==Strategy==
The player controls a fighter of their choice and must win a 1 [[stock]] match against a CPU {{SSBM|Zelda}} and a CPU {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} on the {{SSBM|Battlefield}} stage. This event match features no time limit. The CPU Zelda's [[artificial intelligence]] is set at Level 9, while the CPU Mewtwo's artificial intelligence is set at Level 8.
Attack Mewtwo with attacks and items. When he has a lot of damage, [[throw]] him out of the stage or use a [[smash attack]] to finish him off. The strategy for the quickest KO is to go where Mewtwo spawns and use [[Jigglypuff (SSBM)|Jigglypuff]]'s [[Rest]] when he appears. Another good strategy is to [[Kirbycide]] when Mewtwo spawns. Sometimes, Mewtwo will even self-destruct on accident.
 
When the match starts, the player's fighter will spawn on the center of the main platform, while Zelda spawns on the topmost soft platform. The match starts off with the player's fighter battling Zelda. After 15 seconds, Mewtwo will spawn on the leftmost soft platform and joins Zelda to battle the player's fighter. If the player [[KO]]s Mewtwo, it will result in a victory. If the player KOs Zelda, it will result in a loss.
