Hi im new, my friend told me to come here for help.

I need help on beating my friend's mewtwo. i dont know what to do against him. when i approach with a short hop nair he shields it. i try to shine right after it but he always seem to grab me right before it happens.i cant edge guard him well because i cant predict where hes going(mindgames?). BTW we usually battle on FD. when i spam shl he just starts dashdancing/wavedashing closer and closer, or he full hops all the way with a nair or usse a shadow ball to give give him a boost...i do not know what to do when he does that..
He is very good at shielding right before i hit him. and if he doesnt shield he cc to a down tilt.
Do you guys have any tips for me to use against him?

thanks

remember to lcancel all of your moves into a shine, and then either wavedash out of that shine, or jump out of it to prevent a grab if he just sits there and sheilds it.

dash dance yourself, and keep hitting him with lasers. grab-uthrow-uair will work as well.

just get better, from the sounds of it...you need to watch some vids

Uthrow->Uair works wondors on mewtwo ;) Apparently you do need to work up your tech skill a bit though.

Shine is not always better. There are a lot of characters that fall over from shine. You could work on Thunder's combo [shine -> jab] against some people who fall over from shine (fox and falco in particular).

I like to use uptilt from some aerials in certain situations. Shuffled uair -> land behind them with decent spacing -> uptilt. Uptilt is a great setup against people that can't be shine combo'd as well.

Dair -> Grab can be brute forced sometimes, as well. :)
Dair -> Jab -> upsmash / grab

Just some different things to try. Shine isn't always the best option, although most of the time it is a good idea, since it comes out in 1 frame.

yeah your right but i was just kind of giving him something to work on at first because he says he always gets sheild grabbed.

oh btw, your sig is really cool
