There has been a weight adjustment as mentioned on his character page. Yes, he does get increased distance from performing an attack at the peak of his double jump. Mewtwo can drag people through platforms with Confusion. And no, it doesn't land cancel.
Hard mode, activate. I appreciate the time you took to do that on a phone.
That would be unnecessary and possibly unbalanced.
What made Mewtwo bad in Melee again? Taj makes Mewtwo look good but what were his issues in Melee again I forgot?
He isn't that bad, however he falls slow, has low weight, and is very floaty... so he's easy to combo. Essentially, Mewtwo has a very good approach and offensive game, but not so much defensively.
Why was he sooooo low though
?
He also has mediocre kill moves. D-smash, fair, b-throw were really his only good KO moves. He's also not that amazing at gimping.
He had a TERRIBLE approach in Melee. Absolutely worthless even. His offensive game relied on spacing down tilts and shadowballs and hoping to land a grab for a single down throw and maybe a few percent after that, then he was back to spacing with down tilts and shadowballs. Fair is his only forward facing aerial in Melee and it had a tiny hitbox. Defensively, he had a great recovery, good wavedash to get out of trouble, and a teleport. Sure, against spacies he could do some cool combos if they DI'd incorrectly, but there has only been a single person in the history of Melee to do those kinds of combos relatively consistently on higher level players, and that's TAJ. My favorite match of TAJ's is against Armada's Peach on Yoshi's story because it shows how big of a problem Mewtwo had approaching. The only times TAJ got in were when he did something amazingly creative.
His best kill move was generally up-throw. But the others you mentioned were good too. B-throw was especially good against fast fallers.
How early does Up-throw kill Sheik?
118% without DI on FD and 128% with DI on FD. Up throw kill percents are actually conveniently located in this thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/tajs...g-back-up-currently-discussing-falcon.202382/
One of his biggest weaknesses that a lot of people seem to overlook is his height. So much of the game's combat takes place on the horizontal plane, so tall characters just naturally are easier to hit and unfortunately, Mewtwo didn't have many tools to compensate for that.
I don't think they're too worried about Single Player aspects at the moment, but I'm sure that it'll likely happen in the future once it becomes the focus.
It was a joke for the video and the video only.
It was just a joke; Pokemon Trainer doesn't have death or item throwing animations (or many animations at all, really) so they put a skin on the most humanoid male character for a visual pun of the Pokemon Trainer trying to catch Mewtwo.
finally someone gets it. props to you
