Analyzing Mewtwo's Changes (Now with a Buffs and Nerfs list)

[ZephyrZ]

Actually we paid 100.00$ (buying both games, even more if you count system costs).

Most of us didn't spend that 100$ just for Mewtwo, unless you're reaaaaaaaaaly dedicated.
That money went to the games themselves.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

I had to pay $90...

and that was for the Wii U version only

 

[CaliburChamp]

D-throw to F-air looks like it can combo really well for high combo damage.

 

[Terrazi Terrajin]

Now I can just up B past little macs in For Glory while they side-B off stage instead of having to duck.

Does it seem like his traction is better this time around? He seems to stop instantly in the two pokeball scenes with the Mew and that bug looking pokemon whose name escapes me. Hopefully he won't be pushed a mile away after shielding attacks like Luigi.

Genesect. And I hope his traction is better too, but low traction could probably be turned into an advantage somehow.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I think he may of just been walking. He slides quit a bit when dashing into Up Smash.

Edit: Then again, the animation did look exactly the same...huh. Maybe it was just the angle we saw it at?

Up-Smash carries momentum over in Brawl and Smash 4. When you stop running you enter into a "break" state that makes you stop much faster. Up-Smash is much more important to "guess" what his traction will be like because his breaking might just be really good.

Oh, uh, heh. I'm still kind of new to the competitive scene, so I'm still getting a hand of these mechanics.

Thanks for pointing that out.

what's confusion's endlag? did you get it?

I can't tell endlag since I don't know how long the hitbox is out for, but the entire move is 29-31 frames when in Melee it was 55 or so.

 

[LunarWingCloud]

Midair Confusion didn't push Mewtwo forward/upward a bit in Melee, did it?

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Final 3 moves revealed

They are the same as melee as well.

D-air accually got a explosion now so thats buffed for more accuracy and knockback

 

[Sacredden]

Midair confusion didnt do that in Melee, but than again none of my friends used MewTwo back than so I probably haven't seen.
Back air doesnt hit on the bottom of the swing, looks like hitbox starts parallel to him
Also Neutral B does not do damage while charging....

 

[FooltheFlames]

Fair: now sends characters sideways instead of up for juggles.
D-smash: now launches characters up instead of sideways at a low angle.
Both moves seem to have the highest KB for their category (aerials & smashes) to compensate for the lack of range on Fair and D-smash still only hitting side(?)

TL;DR Fair & D-smash are Mewtwos new killing moves!
