Agreed Mewtwo will be more viable
now if they could just fix his weight...
Ya your right but hey he's alot faster now
Ho man definitely! Landing lag's reduced, increased speed, he can really do tail shenanigans similar to my Mewtwo in melee. I like him now. I expect mid-tier status from him at the very least.
In my opinion, he doesn't really need it. I don't think Mewtwo's weight was the thing that was holding him back. Really, I think lack of compensation was to blame. Mewtwo was clearly designed to be a glass cannon, and, thus, he was made a lightweight fighter. The problem was that he wasn't given enough strong points to compensate for his weight. Like Pichu's self-damage gimmick in Melee, Mewtwo's weight got called out only because it was highly obvious, when, in reality, Mewtwo's supposed "weakness" actually fell in line with his 'glass cannon' design philosophy. Lack of compensation for Mewtwo's weight was the real problem, in my opinion. In any event, with the advent of 1.1.3, Mewtwo's mobility has been dramatically improved, a few moves have become more powerful, some of his hitboxes have been fixed, and his landing lag has been lowered across the board. New combos are already being discovered for Mewtwo, and Abadango is planning to use him at GENESIS 3. Personally, I think Mewtwo is fine as is, and I never thought his weight was to blame for his previous inferiority.
I can agree with this. I remember someone bringing up the possibility of being able to pressure more effectively with Shadow Ball in midair, but that sort of seemed like a stretch to me. I mean, if you're going to pressure your opponent with Shadow Ball in midair, you're probably not going to be using a fully charged one, so it seems sort of counterintuitive and ineffective to do so. I'm no expert, though. To me, the reduced recoil was a minsicule nerf, in the sense that it slightly reduced Mewtwo's recovery options by eliminating a B-reversed Shadow Ball as a possibility. Still, compared to Mewtwo's slew of buffs in 1.1.3, that one nerf isn't nearly enough to get my spirits down.
Probs trolling but Jiggs is one of the characters most in need of a buff..
Bowser got buffed heavily. He's all right now. Ganondorf did get some help but the Nair reworks can be a problem vs short characters and he probably needs more. Zelda, Samus, Dedede, and Puff are left at the bottom for no real reason though.
Baby steps, man, baby steps. A game with 50 odd characters is nearly impossible to balance prior to release but we are getting close. Also, Boozer got a massive buff in giving him a combo throw which may be a guaranteed KO option at high percentages, the big guy is scarier than ever.
He was really bad before, but he is still really bad, yeah he have less landing lag, that means nothing at all, he is still really bad
Bad is very debatable, but objectively this patch was huge for Mewtwo's high risk/high reward game-plan.
I know there was some fun sliding tricks and I guess in some aspects it was safer, but I never really understood the dislike for the recoil change.
