Aesthetics
As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Mewtwo's model features a more subdued color scheme. Its body has a noticeable glossy sheen, and the end of its tail is slightly larger than before.- 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.
- Mewtwo's idle animation has been slightly altered; it now keeps one of its arms lifted.
Attributes
Like all characters, Mewtwo's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.- Mewtwo's midair jump animation now takes less time to complete, improving its recovery and combo game.
Ground Moves
- Forward tilt has a new animation where Mewtwo spins horizontally to strike with its tail.
- Forward tilt has more range and knockback.
- Up tilt has an altered animation.
- Up tilt now properly connects with opponents behind Mewtwo.
- Up tilt has less end lag.
Down tilt has increased endlag.- Dash attack has an altered animation: Mewtwo now only uses one hand during the attack instead of both.
- 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.
- Neutral aerial now hits fewer times.
- Forward aerial's range has been significantly increased.
- Back aerial does less damage, however its hitboxes have been significantly improved, now being able to reliably hit grounded opponents.
- Up aerial received a modified animation; Mewtwo no longer faces the screen when finishing its sweep.
- Down aerial's hitbox size has been increased; it can now reliably hit grounded opponents off a full-hop.
Throws/other attacks
- Forward throw's Shadow Balls are much smaller.
- Up throw K.O. potential slightly improved.
- Back throw has an altered animation, with Mewtwo tossing the opponent over its shoulder nonchalantly.
- Down throw now combos at mid-high percents.
Special Moves
- Shadow Ball's maximum size and damage has been limited, however this means that it also reaches its peak charge faster.
- Confusion's range has been increased.
- Confusion halts Mewtwo's momentum, worsening it as a recovery move.
- Confusion no longer corrects the opponent's position to the center of the ripple when captured.
- Teleport has a darker, more distinct visual effect when Mewtwo disappears and reappears.
- Disable has a different animation, with Mewtwo spreading its arms out while flashing its eyes.
- Disable can now be reversed like many other specials.
- Despite Mewtwo's posture being elevated during its new animation, Disable still hits small characters below it, improving its reach overall.
- Psystrike has modified visual effects; it is now colored purple and white throughout instead of purple at the edge and black/yellow/blue in the center, and the center now contains a "burst" visual effect instead of a vortex. Upon hitting an opponent, its visual effects are also more intense.
