'''Mewtwo''' ({{ja|ミュウツー|Myūtsū}}, ''Mewtwo'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Like in ''[[Melee]]'', Mewtwo is once again an unlockable character. Mewtwo is classified as fighter #24.

*Play [[VS. match]]es, with Mewtwo being the 60th character to be unlocked.

With the exception of the third method, Mewtwo must then be defeated on [[Spear Pillar]].

Mewtwo received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate''. Some of its moves have improved range and hitbox placements, such as forward tilt, up tilt, back aerial and forward aerial, and its throws are slightly stronger; however, some of its attacks, such as neutral aerial, back aerial and [[Shadow Ball]] are weaker and it can no longer use [[Confusion]] to mix up its recovery.

*{{change|Mewtwo has a more subdued color scheme and its body appears to have a glossy sheen. The end of its tail is also slightly larger.}}

*{{change|Mewtwo's [[idle pose]] has been altered; it now keeps one of its arms lifted.}}

*{{change|Mewtwo's [[victory pose]]s have been slightly altered:}}

**The pose where Mewtwo laughs and floats has it float higher and look farther away from the screen.  

**The pose where Mewtwo thrusts its hand outward has an altered camera angle more towards its hand.

**The pose where Mewtwo faces away from the screen has Mewtwo keep its eyes shut for slightly longer. [https://youtu.be/IVDd88e4Dek?t=345]

*{{change|Mewtwo's [[falling speed]] and fast falling speed are slightly faster (1.5 → 1.55) and (2.4 → 2.48) respectively. This improves its survivability but makes it more susceptible to combos.}}

**{{change|Teleport has a darker, more distinct visual effect when Mewtwo disappears and reappears.}}

**{{buff|Disable has more vertical range. Despite Mewtwo's posture being elevated during its new animation, it can still hit smaller characters below its eye level.}}

**{{change|Mewtwo's [[Final Smash]], Psystrike, has modified visual effects. The projectile is now colored purple and white throughout the orb instead of purple at the edge and black/yellow/blue in the center. The center of the orb resembles a burst of energy instead of a vortex, and the move also causes more intense visual effects when it hits an opponent.}}

=={{SSBU|Classic Mode}}: Psychic Control==

Mewtwo was among the fighters that were summoned to fight the army of [[Master Hand]]s.

Mewtwo was present when [[Galeem]] unleashed his beams of light. Mewtwo and {{SSBU|Zelda}} attempted to reflect the beams using [[Confusion]] and [[Nayru's Love]] respectively; this effort failed, with both being vaporized and placed under Galeem's imprisonment, along with the rest of the fighters (excluding {{SSBU|Kirby}}).

*Mewtwo's artwork for ''Ultimate'' resembles its [[bulbapedia:File:150Mewtwo.png|artwork]] for [[bulbapedia:Pok%C3%A9mon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|''Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen'']], albeit with its hands and legs posed slightly differently.

*Mewtwo was confirmed to be a playable character in ''Ultimate'' before Pikachu, making this the first time Pikachu was not the first Pokémon to be announced as part of the roster.  

*Mewtwo is the only [[DLC]] veteran who was playable in the E3 demo.

*Mewtwo was the last non-DLC character added to the Super Smash Bros. Blog.
