Everything else default.



Depending on how Mewtwo plays I might switch the control stick to "attack" instead of "smash".

So you have two special buttons?
I don't think it's really a thing that can be dictated as to how he plays, as I've seen many people play in many different ways. I play Lucario somewhat in the middle, more defensive however I've seen a rushdown playstyle work with him too.

I don't use B, it's way too far from the control stick.



This is my logic:

Actions you most use in order:

Moving
Jumping
A button
Shield button
Grabs/Specials



First rule. If an action can be chained, then keep a separate finger for it.

Which actions can be chained?

Jump + Anything
Shield + Anything
Moving + Anything



Which actions can't be chained?

A + Special
Grab + Special
A + Grab

So these actions are the best candidates to share a finger (in this case my thumb)



The main action of those 3 should have the most prominent button (in this case control stick) and when in neutral your finger should rest on that button unless planning something specific with another button.




Lastly on Attack vs Smash. It does depend on how Mewtwo plays. I will set my stick at whichever move is better for "quick reactions" or combo chains. Using the control stick is always more fluid than using buttons and it's more comfortable to me. Basically if Down-Tilt is Mewtwo's go-to option at all times then I will probably just set control stick to Tilts so I can go into aerials from my Tilts without having to move a finger.

I'm beginning to think that Nonspecific likes posts as a bookmark so he can keep track of the post he left off at.

Speaking of the 3DS tournament, I'm providing the reward for the Wii U version so who's going to provide for the 3DS version?

Guys, spring is here, and I think it's time to settle on some sort of date.

Here's my proposition; if Mewtwo is released within the next two weeks, the tournament date will be on the 11th of April.

If Mewtwo is not released by then, we'll have it on the 25th of April.

If Mewtwo is not released by May...well, Sakurai is officially a pain in my butt.

Officially signing up for both tournaments!!

Also, I think custom moves should definitely be a thing for this tournament. The most dedicated Mewtwo player should win!

Hello everybody, the great and powerful Speed here.... obviously everyone who hangs around the Mewtwo forums knows of me.... *cough*

Anywhooo...I wanted to inform everyone of an idea I thought of today; what if we have a tournament dedicated to the celebration of Mewtwo being released for Smash? That is, a tourney that consists of only him and the fans dedicated to using him once he's released.
Now, of course, this tourney won't be available until he actually is released, but I wanted to post this to see how many of you guys would be interested in participating to see who is the quickest to master the most powerful Pokemon to ever exist.

I am actually planning on giving out a game of your choice that is worth 600 or less at Club Nintendo for 1st place and a $10 Nintendo E-Shop card to 2nd place- but if you're interested in donating more to the reward, please let me know. If so, the 3rd place winner will likely also receive some sort of reward, as well.

Finally, I will probably be hosting a tournament for both systems (3DS and Wii U) on different dates, however, only the Wii U version will be receiving a prize at the time, forgive me.
Rules
3 Stock Matches
8 Minute Timer
Best 2/3
Winners 3/5
Customs Moves are Permitted, but not Custom Equipment

Tournament Date

Starting on the 20th of March....if Mewtwo is released within the next two weeks, the tournament date will be on the 11th of April.

If Mewtwo is not released by then, we'll have it on the 25th of April.

If Mewtwo is not released by May...well, Sakurai is officially a pain in my butt.

I'm interested. Count me in!

By the way, Raykz, great explanation as to how you map your controls and why. Learned a thing or two I'll be using in the future.
