Pros & Cons
Pros
- Fastest backward and forward roll in the game
- Long and safe recovery
- Throws that can combo and kill,especially his Up-Throw
- Powerful projectile
- Long wavedash
- Fast tilts with combo capacity
- Powerful F-air with combo and killing potential.
- Can edge guard faraway opponents by jumping off the ledge because its long recovery ensures a safe return
- Air dodging turns Mewtwo invisible, making it impossible to tell which direction it is going in
- Up-B special (Teleport) is an excellent recovery attack, due to its decent range and ability to pass through any attack
- Can moonwalk
- Has a meteor smash
- Can reflect incoming projectiles (Confusion.)
- DJC'ing allows top Mewtwo's to combo really well and to combine f-air with Up Throw for a chain grab on fast fallers.
- Although d-smash doesn't hit both sides, u-smash does.
- Incredibly powerful throws.
Cons
- Very big target
- Easily KO'ed due to its light weight and floatiness
- Floatiness causes poor traction
- Exceedingly poor approach, due to lack of fast defensive options
- Poor spot dodge
- Forward throw does little damage and has minimal knockback
- Has a very slow dash
- Despite its power, F-air has very poor reach.
- Down smash is the only down smash in the game to only hit on one side
- Projectiles reflected with Confusion will NOT harm the opponent that sent the attack.
- Confusion sometimes left Mewtwo open for attack from the opponent he uses it on.
- Highest crouch in the game. Therefore, Mewtwo cannot duck under many attacks.

Basic 1v1
Versus Fast Fallers
Fast fallers are the easiest characters to combo in the game. They include Fox, Falco, Captain Falcon, and in some cases Roy. A lot of combos carry over and work on most of the characters in this category. Here are some of the basic setups for these characters:
- Downtilt
- A downtilt can start up many combos at varying percentages against fast fallers. It combos into more downtilts and then into grabs. Usually you can get in two downtilts and follow up with a grab at low percents. At high percents it can set up for aerials.
- Uptilt
- An uptilt is an awkward but effective setup. It's generally used to interrupt an aerial attack, but it, like the downtilt, can combo into itself. It sets up nicely for aerial attacks.
- Upthrow
- Although mostly effective against Fox and Falco, this usually leads to juggles at low percents.
- Downthrow
- While never providing any "true" combos, this will set up for combos if your opponent DI's incorrectly. If they DI towards you then you can grab them again, or begin a downtilt assault into a grab. If they do DI properly you still have the option of tech chasing, something that Mewtwo is very capable of due to its excellent wavedash.
- Forward Air
- The Mewtwo standard juggle for fast fallers, and one of many Mewtwo players' favorite move. This sets up for multiple fairs at low percents and at least two fairs at moderate percents. It also sets up for upairs, or tilts if you perform it close to the ground or perform an instant DJC.
- Up Air
- Another great juggling aerial. Often underrated due to Mewtwo's forward air, but in a lot of situations it's better. Combo's into itself and other aerials with ease.
Techniques
Trophy Descriptions
In addition to the normal trophy about Mewtwo as a character, there are two trophies about it as a fighter, unlocked by completing the Adventure and All-Star modes respectively with Mewtwo on any difficulty:
- Mewtwo (Smash Red):
- As Mewtwo relies mostly on its powerful brain, there are times when it scarcely uses its arms and legs. Since Mewtwo spends much of its time floating, it flies far when struck. Shadow Ball traces a jagged path once released; the longer Mewtwo holds it, the more powerful it becomes. Mewtwo uses Confusion to spin its foes around. (B: Shadow Ball, Smash B: Confusion)
- Mewtwo (Smash Blue):
- Mewtwo is definitely not a speedy character, but its ESP-powered grab and throw moves are comparatively strong. Teleport has a short range, but doesn't leave it open to attack. It's best used as an escape move during disturbances. Mewtwo can daze a foe if it makes eye contact and uses Disable; the move is useless unless Mewtwo is facing its enemy. (Up & B: Teleport, Down & B: Disable)

Trivia
Although the two red and blue palettes are not easily reconized as canon in the Pokemon universe, the colors were actually from Pokemon Stadium. One could access the swaps by switching syllables.
- PSYCHIC (Red Mewtwo)
- TwoMew (Blue Mewtwo)
The Green Mewtwo Costume kind of looks like a Shiny Mewtwo in Pokeémon Pearl.
