Yeah, I have to say, Taj gave Ally the biggest challenge, and I think Taj should have taken it. KDJ and M2k didn't quite come as close.

I think the only think Taj may be missing is tuning up a little on the new mechanics, but he doesn't even practice the game.
Um... M2K didn't play Ally? I don't think we really have much basis for assessing his Mewtwo vs. floaties (or strong players with swords folk). From what I've seen M2K handled pretty much every fastfaller he played. The only vids of him against floaties in competitive play I've seen are vs. Rolex's MK and Aramad's Pit. M2K won the Rolex match (and seemed to be in control for most of it, though Rolex made a valiant attempt at a comeback), and nobody can blame him for losing to Armada's Pit. Everybody lost to Armada's Pit - his play was just ridiculous.

I would love to see some of these guys play Mewtwo against a good Mario and a good Ganon. Those have been by far the hardest matchups for me playing with my friends. Mario is so floaty that he's almost impossible to combo, and his moves have a ton of priority. Ganon is hard only because his fair beats everything. I think you can beat Ganon just playing keep-away and shadow balling him to death, but u make 1 mistake and he destroys you for it.

This is a video from "Don't Get 4 Stocked", a recent Central California tourney. It's one long video with all the singles matches in the tourney. I'm posting it here because if you look at the time stamps in the about section of the video, you'll find a best 3 out of 5 Mewtwo ditto money match between myself and Choknater near the end. There's not much footage of me, so I figured posting this is a start.

EDIT: Oh, also the commentary echos badly, so yeah.

M2K beat hbox's Mario pretty soundly at shuffle v, the vids are up on vgbootcamp. It looks like power shielding fireballs and gimps with bair did it for him

I would agree practically 100%. If you get hampered by fireballs with Mewtwo, you're done. If you can't get your bair gimps when the opportunity arises, you're done. Mario is a very tough match-up for Mewtwo in my experience. Ganon is tough as well, but Mewtwo can cheese him out. Zelda is very tough for me. You can't out-camp her, and her defensive game is better than your approach game. Maybe I need to abuse teleport approaches and hover bairs against her or something.

Honestly, ganon is one of my best MUs right now, maybe just cause I get a lot of practice, but m2 can abuse his movement options and pester ganon with shadowballs until he's at percent to throw off and gimp, not to mention the low percent combos he can get.

Mewtwo does have a little trouble with Ganon. On paper I think Mewtwo should win overall, but my main practice partner uses Ganon and Mewtwo's moves don't have enough hitstun on Ganon for him to not be able to punish you.

Yeah, Ganon isn't an easy match-up, but he can be cheesed out with shadowball camping and mid percent gimps. You can't challenge Ganon for too long. Hit and run tactics (Or rather hit and teleport tactics) are your best bet.

This was my first tournament using Mewtwo, I'm a Falcon main primarily, and picked him up a few weeks ago.
Here's a video from Cute Cats 6 yesterday, me vs DruggedFox's Sheik in Grand Finals.

Being pretty new to the character, I'm probably pretty sloppy, feel free to rip me to shreds guys lol, looking to learn what I can.

Updated the OP. If I missed someone, let me know. Something weird was going on with the collapse tags for Taj's videos, so I removed them. For some reason each individual video had it's own spoiler box. It's not a big problem right now while there are only two videos, but it could get annoying in the future when there are more. If anyone knows how to fix that let me know.

Here are three videos of my ****ty Mewtwo from CEO Prologue. I managed to nab 7th out of 70+ entrants, but there's a lot I need to work on. As a player with a Brawl background, it's mainly Melee mechanics. You won't find anything too flashy here.

Mainly what I've been practicing since then are teledgehogs (EVERY side b I do on the edge in these matches are supposed to be a teledgehog) and more mixups out of teleport. One of my friends also told me how to edgehog tether recoveries after watching my set with Hungrybox on stream.

Thanks for the support metaknight0! Wish I could use down-B like you I just can't handle how much startup it has. And yeah guys I seriously got lucky though, so many good players I didn't have to run into but I guess that's just how tournaments work

This **** real? Those were the hypest matches since I finished watching Professor Pro and Rolex go at it. Grats on handling ESAM's Samus. That looked really hard trying to get through that missile wall.

Everyone is affected by bracket luck, but your bracket was stacked as **** jesus.
