Up smash is fair game as an anti-air, with aforementioned respectable KO power upon connection, and possessing a disjointed hitbox thanks to the cyclone. It can also be used underneath platforms, which Mewtwo can sometimes force opponents onto.

However, the move has sizable ending lag, making it very punishable if whiffed. Additionally, die to the scoop hitbox only lasting for a single frame and [[Jostle|jostling]], the scoop hitbox can be unreliable to connect with. Additionally, the move can sometimes have trouble hitting correctly on platforms.

Overall, up smash is a high-risk, high reward move that can potentially result in great reward if it connects, but it's flaws make it very unsafe if it whiffs.
