Mewtwo (ミュウツー, Mewtwo) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

  •   As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Mewtwo's model features a more subdued color scheme, but otherwise appears unchanged. Its body has a glossy sheen to it, similar to its appearance in Pokkén Tournament.
  •   Some of Mewtwo's attacks have been updated with new particle effects, including every attack that previously had the Darkness effect like its smash attacks and special moves.

Ground Moves

  •   Dash attack has an altered animation: Mewtwo now only uses one hand during the attack instead of both.
  •   Forward tilt has a new animation where Mewtwo spins horizontally to strike with its tail.
  •   Forward tilt has an altered animation with quicker start-up and endlag.
  •   Forward tilt has more range and knockback.
  •   Forward smash can now be angled.
  •   Up smash's effect area has been enlarged.

Aerial Moves

  •   Neutral aerial now has Mewtwo discharge blue electricity around itself while flashing with a blue overlay, instead of discharging multicolored electric orbs.

Throws/other attacks

  •   Back throw has an altered animation, with Mewtwo tossing the opponent over its shoulder nonchalantly.

Special Moves

  •   Shadow Ball travels slightly slower.
  •   Confusion now allows Mewtwo to act before captured opponents can, allowing for combos.
  •   Confusion is performed slower, making it more punishable, and also halts Mewtwo's momentum, worsening it as a recovery move.
  •   Disable has a different animation, with Mewtwo spreading its arms out while flashing its eyes.
