Mewtwo (SSBU)

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

  • Change As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Mewtwo's model features a more subdued color scheme and a glossy sheen, similar to its appearance in Pokkén Tournament. Its model otherwise appears similar to the previous installment.
  • Change 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.
  • Change Mewtwo's idle animation has been slightly altered; it now keeps one of its arms lifted.

Ground Moves

  • Change Dash attack has an altered animation: Mewtwo now only uses one hand during the attack instead of both.
  • Change Forward tilt has a new animation where Mewtwo spins horizontally to strike with its tail.
  • Buff Forward tilt has an altered animation.
  • Buff Forward tilt has more range and knockback.
  • Nerf Down tilt has increased endlag (roughly 4 frames).
  • Buff Forward smash can now be angled.
  • Buff Up smash's effect area has been enlarged.

Aerial Moves

  • Change 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

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

Special Moves

  • Nerf Shadow Ball travels slightly slower.
  • Buff Shadow Ball has a shorter duration by at least 3 frames (49->46)
  • Nerf Confusion halts Mewtwo's momentum, worsening it as a recovery move.
  • Change Confusion no longer corrects the opponent's position to the center of the ripple when captured.
  • Change Disable has a different animation, with Mewtwo spreading its arms out while flashing its eyes.
