Despite these strengths, Mewtwo packs some severe, glaring weaknesses, most notably in its weight and size. Mewtwo is tied for the seventh lightest character in the game and it is prone to losing stocks at low percents. Unlike the other characters in its weight class, Mewtwo is easier to hit and juggle because of how big and floaty it is, making matchups such as {{SSBU|Fox}} and {{SSBU|Falco}} notoriously difficult. Its slow double jump and lack of combo breaker moves, combined with the aforementioned downsides, leads to Mewtwo having a very poor disadvantage state (outside of recovery), made worse by its infamous tail hurtbox, making Mewtwo easier to be clipped by a lot of attacks while also adding extra risk to the usage of tail moves.

Overall, while Mewtwo possesses strong tools and high KO power, as well as a powerful projectile and combo game courtesy of Shadow Ball, it is difficult for it to find consistency due to its undesirable combination of being a very large and lightweight character. As a result, Mewtwo rarely sees representation in competitive play, with tournament results mainly coming from {{Sm|WaDi}} prior to his leave from competitive play, however Players such as {{Sm|Remrin}} and {{Sm|SUZUNE}}, have managed to get solid results with the character.

As a result, Mewtwo is a 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. While Mewtwo's moveset may not be as versatile as other characters, such as {{SSBU|Wolf}}'s, it makes up for it with comparatively huge power and damage output. In short, Mewtwo has the attack power and range of an archetypal heavyweight, yet retains the combo game and mobility of a lightweight.

Mewtwo's competitive potential is up for debate as of now. Some professional players believe that Mewtwo should be ranked as a higher end mid tier character due to its excellent mobility and damage racking game. Conversely, other players consider placing it as a low tier due to its large hurtbox and light weight, as well as its potent neutral game being toned down slightly. Mewtwo itself has a small playerbase, but the players who are dedicated to maining it, such as {{Sm|WaDi}}, have managed to achieve respectable placements.
