Those are some really cool ideas! Leer doesn't make much sense though. Maybe it could make the opponent take more damage temporarily, which is closer to how leer works in Pokemon. Similar mechanics exist in Shulk's Buster Monado Art so I think it's doable.
Only issue is determining how to indicate it and for how long. I still the massive shield damage if it is shielded, it makes mewtwo reach Jigglypuff status of shield pressure with his reflector and projectiles.
It could be indicated by blue glow since stat drops in the Pokemon games are typically indicated by a blue animation moving downward. The time it lasts should depend on how safe the move is to use. If it is the same as disable and can't be punished on hit I think around six to eight seconds of taking double damage would be good, especially considering how powerful rolls and shields are in this game. It would give Mewtwo a decent chance to follow up.

This is a really interesting idea. It's similar to Mega Man's Crash Bomber but there are a few things that could make it more unique. I imagine it activating a few seconds after being landed as a weak hit with set knock-back that goes through shields. Something like that could create some cool kill setups. The initial move would have to be faster to make up the lack of a guaranteed follow-up that regular disable has.
at least on the name, I didn't read those custom movesets in detail yet to prevent myself to be biased. I'm going to read them later.
I didn't even know Mewtwo could learn this move. If this actually happened it would be funny that Mewtwo got it instead of Pikachu. I have an idea that could make it more unique too.
Calling Mewtwo's Teleport garbage is just plain ignorant. His recovery is among the best in the game and allows swift movement to escape and play mindgames on your foes. Teleport is the main reason why Mewtwo is pretty much ungimpable.
Or you just haven't mastered it.
As you haven't leanred to control its bizarre physics or use its ledge-cancel tech. That's what I meant.
Yeah, because this isn't like Project M where it's all about Wavedashing, L-Cancelling, and High Tiers. You actually have to learn the character's moveset and MUs.
It's one of the best recoveries in the game. Not the best, but better than most.
Objectively speaking, you are still wrong. Teleport along with the air dodge and Confusion all serve it's purpose for safe landing and giving you a tool to mix up your return to the stage. And like most moves in this games of course in can be punished, if you make an amateurish mistake and decide to appear in your opponent's face that is; if you use it right you can teleport safely from the opponent despite the endlag (which is not that much). The move is not as bad as you want to pretend it to be, is all about mixing up your movement options in the end.
I feel like Light Screen would be a better name given that there exist moves like Reflector and Reflect Barrier. Reflect might just give the wrong impression about the move. Other than that, looks like it'd fit nicely.
Think of it like this. In the Pokemon titles, Reflect halves the damage of all "physical" attacks, while Light Screen halves the damage of all "special" attacks.
Well, it works by having Lucario dodge the attack through increased evasiveness and then he auto-counterattacks.
The reality is that the opposite is true. You're acting like you don't know a whole lot about Teleport. The more you praise Teleport, the more obvious it becomes that you are oblivious to its faults. And I do understand Mewtwo's recovery. I explicitly mentioned that what makes it good is the many parts that constitute it, with some being expendable while others are more beneficial.
Its Teleports unpredictability that makes up for this. The endlag is there, but the movement speed is instant, so with a good read, they balanced eachother out. Sure, if your opponent is just waiting for you, they'll be able to punish it. But if you time it so that it comes out just before they attack you and land on the ground, you can usually avoid damage all together.
You claim you know Teleport, and yet you compared its endlag to Lucario's? You must really like exaggerating.
I'm denying it based off of my personal experiences. I've made it work before, and I've also seen other players better then me make it work.
...You are kidding, right?
Psycho cut sounds more like a piercing move...
