Template:Pyra and Mythra in competitive play (SSBU)
Use this template to store information relevant to the metagame of Pyra and Mythra in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Since their release, Pyra and Mythra have received very positive reception from competitive players. This is largely owed to Mythra's outstanding mobility and frame data, overall one of the best in the game, alongside her unique Foresight ability, though this is at the cost of her damage output being largely unimpressive. On the other hand, Pyra brings to the table overwhelming power and range, while losing out on mobility and, to an extent, frame data. Their polarized attributes overall complement very well and leave the duo with few collective weaknesses (most notably, an overall mediocre recovery). Thanks to their strengths and results from players such as MkLeo, Sparg0, Cosmos and Shuton, this has made them some of the most popular characters in tournament throughout 2021, on par with characters such as R.O.B., Roy, Palutena and Wolf and most top players consider them to be a top 3 character in the game alongside Joker and Pikachu.
