Somewhat interesting mindgame

[thebluedeath1000]

When I play mewtwo, mostly just for a change of paste, I try to "Cut the fool" with him and try odd things.

Anyway, when you launch a fully charged shadow ball in air, it sends you back quite forcefully as you know so I thought I'd use that in a setup.

I know its a total waste of a shadow ball to throw it like that but it may be for the best if they are good at avoiding it. I shorthopped and turned around in the air, tossed the ball..it sent me slliding towards him and as I hit the ground, I turned around and f-smashed him..probably nothing great or all that useful but I liked it and thought I would share.

Shadowball in the air has a lot of super situational uses. I use it for recovery and funky tech-chases mostly.

Wait a minute...what?

He's saying that he fired a shadow ball away from his opponent, and took advantage of the backwards propulsion that followed to quickly follow up with an f-smash.

I do this too sometimes. Just one of the many uses for the move.

 

[thebluedeath1000]

thank you volt tackle..sorry that was hard to understand

 

[Tongji]

meh, there are better uses for a shadow ball then one suprize move. Yes it definatly trips your opponent out, but you just cannot throw away those fully charged shadow balls like candy. They can ko most opponents at around 70% so use it wisely.

 

[thebluedeath1000]

I've used it to setup a disable before, thats the best use I've found of it

 

[Tongji]

Just dsable to shadow ball XD lolz don't throw it away!

 

[thebluedeath1000]

usually I get hurt trying to disable so I have to distract with the shadowball in order to get them.

 

[wuthefwasthat]

use of it for recovery does seem useful... although... mewtwos recovery is already pretty **** good...
otherwise... funny thing to use in a friendly when you're up 3 stocks

 

[soap]

this gives me an idea, ima try to use it to get behind my opponents shield and attack from behind like a super wavedash.

 

[quak]

yeah, it's good for a quick, last ditch effort for recovery if you already used ur second jump. But if you can't make it back, best just try to hit your opponent with it.

 

[Moo2]

you could always try a super-ultra double team by throwing the shadowball mid-air as your partner throws up a guy while you use your propulsion to nair into the guy on the other side, which would make him go to your ally because you are going the other way

super far-fetched, but would be awesome

then again, mewtwo isnt that great in teams

 

[Airo]

the only time i would release a fullcharged SB into the air is when i am recovering, intercepted and loss my second jump, still above stage level, but DI and teleport is not enough to get me to the ledge.

those situations DO come every once in a while though.

other scenarios include going under FD =]

I use the shadow ball for recovery and when I trie to kill someone far away
