After noticing this thread randomly I went on youtube and looked up some videos of Taj playing. To be honest I wasn't expecting much. Mewtwo has never been my favorite character or one I looked at as even remotely playable. I've seen Simna play him decently once but that was about it. I have to say I was really impressed by Taj's playing. Not only can he handle Mewtwo against high tier characters but he can handle really good players like Forward and Wobbles with him. On top of that he plays Fox, Sheik and Marth pretty dang well too. I really enjoyed watching both Shadow Claw videos and after watching them immediately went to learn some of the Mewtwo techniques. There's no way I'm going to main him or anything (I love playing Fox too much) but I'm definetly going to learn everything I can with him. Thank you Taj, you've introduced me to what Mewtwo really is capable of.

Taj.

Spacing Mewtwo's back air through shiek's recovery (you know, that bull**** with the unlimited invincibility frames) is pretty difficult. Are there any windows between the initial hop and her actual teleport that I could take advantage of?

Also,

I really like u-throw > full hop forward air > drop down forward air again > regrab. Basically, I like any u throw > forward air > regrabs at low %s on fast fallers. my question is, is there anyway to implement moonwalking effectively to chase DI after a forward air, when you hit the ground and are waiting for your opponent to come into grab range?

Against Sheik's recovery you're mostly just trying to play the ledge invincibility game and keeping it from Sheik so you can throw her off again. Only the initial portion of the up B is not invincible and worth hitting.

There's no way to usefully implement moonwalking as a tech chase. It's best use for landing a grab is just the pressure from it looking like a dash, that's it.

^Last two posts were some of the last things I expected to read...

I agree with the crowd saying that Taj278 has a great Mewtwo. It was wonderful to watch him fight Forward. I actually never bothered to watch any Mewtwo videos until now.

Amsah uses Shiek. I read his SSB article, and it states nothing about Mewtwo.

I vote to say he is a "not-as-well-known" Mewtwo player, if he uses Mewtwo.

I dunno, I was a pretty good Mewtwo for a while, but when you play against Falco + Fox + Shiek + Marth all the time you kinda get discouraged. So I switched to Mario and others.
