Depends. Most of the time, I'll follow it up with a D-Smash or an F-Smash, but sometimes I'll do Mewtwo's infinite jab if the opponent is trying to recover or if I think they're in a position where they could hit me out of Jab 1. I do the former because, if I try to follow it up, then my opponent can usually move out of my range and grab the ledge, and I do the latter for obvious reasons.
, and what makes it even worst is that it never works. There has never been a time where anyone (not even pros) have ever successfully hit me when I was trying to recover, unless, of course, they pursue my offstage.
Ness' pk fire would like to object that statement.People need go offstage to pursue opponents more often. I am sick of on-stage edgeguarding, it makes the player seem like they're possessed, since they just stand there... frozen.... waiting... you're next

I think part of the reason is because lots of characters' recoveries can be difficult to challenge, with Mewtwo's being one of the best in the game. Teleport is sudden, moves Mewtwo very quickly, ledge-snaps, and Mewtwo is completely invulnerable during the actual teleportation. Plus, Mewtwo has high airspeed and a healthy set of aerials that, when combined with his cancellable midair jump, allow him to challenge most opponents in midair. And, on top of all that, Teleport is almost always a completely optional move, since Mewtwo's insane midair jump allows him to recover from almost anywhere onscreen, and, if that doesn't work, then he also has his wall jump and Confusion to fall back on. Essentially, Mewtwo never has to enter his helpless state unless he wants to, and he has a nigh-ungimpable, highly varied recovery with impressive midair options to boot. Oh, and Mewtwo's ledge-game is pretty nice, too, since he can use Confusion and Disable when he's coming back onstage.People need go offstage to pursue opponents more often.

Pretty much this. Mewtwo's recovery is way too good to allow for offstage edgeguards.
I have this same problem, too. Basically, in order to try and work around it, I attempt to bait the opponent into putting themselves in a position where I can actually get back onstage. What I usually do is I approach the stage from above at a shallow angle, and when the opponent goes for a dash attack, U-Smash, grab, or the like, I immediately Teleport through them. That way, the opponent is at the edge of the stage, attacking nothingness, and I'm halfway across from it, landing. It usually works pretty well until the opponent catches on. At that point, I usually start aiming for the ledge and try Disable and Confusion shenanigans until I manage to pull myself back onstage. It's not always the most effective method, but it gets the job done most of the time, so I'll take that over getting immediately tossed back offstage.
I would rather sit onstage and wait for you to land so that the game resets to neutral and neither of us has the upper hand. That way, I don't get U-Air'd, D-Air'd, N-Air'd, F-Air'd, or B-Air'd offstage, where my chances of dying are much greater.
Remember: The most effective method of edge-guarding against Little Mac is to not edge-guard at all.
I'll host
Yeah, but he went offstage, proving my point. offstage edgeguarding will reign supreme!
i meant the part where he jumped but did not go off the edge. which was one time...
The offstage PK Thunder shenanigans is insane... holy. As for me, I can't even make it back to the stage with PK Thunder even when nobody is edgeguarding me. I suck with that character. `~`
my tip for that problem is practice all basic angles.
After hitting the 'See ignored content' I have to adress something. You're saying you're not easily edge guarded. Where do you have your matches? Unless it's professional high level tournaments, which it clearly isn't judging from your hyper offensive mindset, I have high doubts considering you're professionalism. Matches with people who aren't uber competitive? For Glory? Bad examples
I was talking about real players. Why do people keep thinking that I'm talking about FG? I'm not a noob.
Clarification at the start tends to help avoid misunderstandings.
Because you aren't provided examples. When you say 'real players' you also fail to mention if they are good or not, you're saying that the best edge guarders have difficulty with you, yet it's highly possible you just don't know any good edge guarders.

Probably because slanted headWhy does Smashboards usefor Mewtwo's flair? The latter is Mewtwo's official stock icon right? It's not really that big of a deal but I'm just curious. I do prefer his official one though.
Personally I prefer the former, but this has been brought up in the Staff boards in the past. Warchamp is probably just lazy.Why does Smashboards usefor Mewtwo's flair? The latter is Mewtwo's official stock icon right? I know that the flair was made before discovering his official one, but why haven't they changed it yet?

Thanks. He's my best character, and while it's true that I do main everybody, I have still poured most of my hours into the plumber.
Sorry, was out all day. I'd definitely be down to play sometime soon though. Just add my NNID and we're good to go when we have the time.@Spirst let's play man. I'd like to play your Pac-Man.
who needs that when you have
Ahhh... I remember the PokeBall case and the gold cards. My cousins gave them to me when I was like 5. I still have the Togepi and Pikachu one!
