Is there a way to have a guaranteed easy shield break like nair into shadow ball, or something else?

Shadow Ball is our greatest shield pressure. A fully charged Shadow Ball and another decently charged SB can break a shield, but most opponents will see it coming and respond appropriately.

As far as i know there isn't really any setups into shieldbreaks that are reliable but one method, or at least the one i have gotten the most shieldbreaks from is to pressure the opponents shield with well spaced Fairs (Or Dsmash/Fsmash) as they do a pretty significant amount of shielddamage and then try to bait out a shield reaction from the opponent when they have about half their shield left so you can attempt to break it with a FC Shadowball.

So yeah, while Mewtwo might not have any real shieldbreak setups like Samus for example, his moves does pretty good shielddamage as mentioned so it's definitely possible.

SB-DA sometimes works. It depends on perfect shield and stuff. Mewtwo doesn't get many shield breaks.

Mostly F-Air to FC Shadow Ball, I've gotten that a few times, but it's not something I am purposely looking for or actively get.
