mewtwo is great. why is he like bottom tier?

he has like an amazing forward tilt. it sheild stabs and sets up and everything. the up b is amazing for mindgames. he also has a really cool infinite ledge stall. his up tilt is extremely useful as is his uair. he has great range. he may be a bit slow but it's nothing drastic . his spike is godly.

anyways i just recently picked him up cause i like to beat my friends with bottom tier but it's so easy to be cheap with mewtwo for me that my friends might complain about how mewtwo is too good.

i don't know how the extremely slow bowser or the self damaging pichu got higher than him, all i know is that mewtwo definitely has some inherent advantages

Ive never thought Mewtwo as bottom tier because hes "bad"
I think its because he plays so much diffrently than every other character in the game

While other characters shuffl a lot to combo and ****
Mewtwos stratiges rely on waiting for your opponet
I beileve that Mewtwo has a lot more potential than people give him credit for.

I think Mewtwo is a lw tier because he is very difficult to master, or even use.
Also, he is nothing like his "true" self is.
He was to nerrfed from what he should have been, and now he...just isn't that neat.

wait, what did you expect? for him to have mind control powers and just tell people to walk off the ledge?

Well he is mewtwo....
I expected him to recover percent
wouldent that be great

BLACKLISTED!

MUHAHAHA!

yeah, this has been done to death, and with better argument too

If you want me to address the actual reasons why mewtwo doesn't play as well, here's a summary:

-Big character (big target), yet dies off the top or off the side quite early, negating his good recovery
-comboing/techchasing ability about average, yet his approach/grab setups are a bit subpar
-his spike isn't godly... its actually pretty awful... one of the easiest to meteor cancel.

Sure he can do some cool things with his grab vs a fox, but how much easier is it for fox just to run in and nair him? (assuming that the fox l-cancels and doesn't get shieldgrabbed all the time) Not to mention fox kills him at... umm... 70-80%?

Just some examples. Its debatable that he's not bottom tier, but he certainly is far from "too good".

Closing statement that I always make in this sort of discussion: before you claim that mewtwo should be moved up, consider what good attributes the chars above him have. (bowser's edgeguarding game, game&watch's comboing/priority, pichu's speed/gimping ability, zelda's kick, yoshi's 1337ness, etc.)

he's just too slow and floaty,of course he has nice tilts,but a perfect fox can beat him so fast..
