Modern metagame developments have failed to conjure major breakthroughs with Mewtwo's metagame, further hurting the character. In spite of its few positive matchups, some of them remain debatable, and his terrible matchups against top and high tier remain awful. For example, {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}}, listed as a soft counter in Mewtwo's favor, can seen as losing for the Pokemon due to Donkey Kong's range, speed, more versatile of ways to KO, as well as having more combos than Mewtwo. Players such as {{Sm|prof}} and {{Sm|Taj}} have fallen into inactivity with the character, and other mains for the character have been unable to achieve significant results with the character, being rare at even local levels of play. | Modern metagame developments have failed to conjure major breakthroughs with Mewtwo's metagame, further hurting the character.
