Nje789's Mewtwo Guide(Now Finished!)

[AxemRed]

A few things I think you should add:

1. Forward B launches you forward a bit in the air, making it useful for recovery.
2. Double Jump Canceling is helpful when you want to get a u-air on a grounded opponent, among other things.
3. A note on d-tilt chaining: to follow the DI, you'll want to hold diagonally down and toward your enemy if he/she's DIing away, this'll make you walk forward a little bit after each tilt and make the chain longer.
4. Character matchups. Mewtwo vs. Link is intersting. Link's d-throw->up-b is irritating, but Mewtwo can chain u-tilts, then chain d-throws, then finish link off with a well placed confusion->shadow ball.

There are a few other things I can't remember right now, I'll add them later.

I love playing mewtwo, he's my second main behind mario, but my biggest problem is chaining, and seeing as how thats mewtwo's main game...you understand im sure
the people i play are pretty decent, Green mario, thomas tippman, sighrax, Kai and whatnot, and they ALL DI perfectly back away from my downsmash d-tilt..the combo's just dont chain. any tips on how to keep control on a DIing falcon/mario/ganon/marth/samus?

sooooooo....

that was completely and utterly useful, i swear....

if you're going to write a guide, first of all, set it out in an understandable manner!

like, i dunno, any of the semi decent guides on the boards.

and, include EVERYTHING.

thats pros + cons, matchups, stage advantages/disadvantages, a full move info list. basic combo's. etc.
and y'know, a general advance tech section would go amiss (WDing, DIing, CCing etc.)

yeah, mini rant, over.

****. I came here to learn how to play Mewtwo (my favorite character of the bunch, yet I can't do a thing with him in this game), and there's not even a good guide. GameFAQs never had one before. Maybe I'll get lucky and find one over there today.

Yea, from my experience, the only real thing you can do with mewtwo against the top tier characters is not get hit. As soon as you start getting combo'd or juggled your going to get owned quickly. I used him in a tournament about a month ago and got juggled by this marth user who treated me like a pinata. A few times when I started and was invincible, I grabbed him out of his wavedash and punished him, but in the end he beat me.

From my own experience, the best way to play M2 is to not get hit (master roll dodging and wave dashing), attack surgically (take advantage of your ranged attacks, and use your more powerful attacks to end combos), and always keep a shadow ball handy to throw at your opponent when they aren't expecting it.

If you plan to take mewtwo to a high level tournament, be prepared to work harder and play better than anyone you face. You'll need to understand every nuance of the game.

Mookie wrote this huge thing in the smash wiki. I lost the link though, can someone post it?

*EDIT* Nevermind, here it is.

Wow, I used to suck with Mewtwo and just kind of forgot he existed, but know that i've read this I think I'll take him up again.

 

[psyk]

for that cat-claw thing, is the forward -a part better than the c-stick, or is it just personal preference?

 

[W.Jr]

tight work, but lots of reading

 

[Moiez]

[Airo]

great thread

I found this guide to be helpful

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

I haven't noticed anything about disable-hopping in this guide.

I would think that Mewtwo players would be abusing this technique by now.

Basically, it gives Mewtwo a really great way to retreat and counter an opponent. It consists of a backwards shorthop followed immediately by Disable. Since disable has a detached hitbox, any opponent charging towards Mewtwo will get hit by this. It's not easy to punish either, as Mewtwo hops backwards while doing this, effectively pulling him out of most attacking range.

This thread is great and will help some of the stuff I didn't use for Mewtwo greatly in play. Nice thread!
