Mewtwo (SSBU)/Up special

Overview

Mewtwo quickly vanishes for a brief time, reappearing in another location chosen by the player's directional input. Its travel distance, combined with its ability to retain vertical momentum out of a double jump and granting Mewtwo full intangibility from frame 9-19 makes it a strong tool for recovery. Additionally, its low landing lag (20 frames) gives it extra utility as an escape option which can also be used out of shield, however this can be punished if used unwisely.

Teleport can also be used to edge cancel, however this is a risky endeavour as precise spacing is required to avoid overshooting the ledge.
