'''[[bulbapedia:Mewtwo|Mewtwo]]''' is a [[bulbapedia:Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] Psychic-type [[Pokémon]], created scientifically, based on the genetic code of another Legendary Pokémon, [[bulbapedia:Mew (Pokémon)|Mew]]. Due to constant experimentation (and its awareness of being an experiment), it went out of control and escaped. Among all the Pokémon that exist, Mewtwo has the most violent nature. Its first appearance was in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Pokémon Blue'']]. As of [[bulbapedia:Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y'']], Mewtwo can [[bulbapedia:Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. It makes a playable appearance as a fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and as an upcoming downloadable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''.


==History==
[[Category:Clones]]
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main|SmashWiki:Mewtwo (SSBM)}}
Mewtwo was meant to be a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', but time constraints posed as an issue, so it was left out<ref>http://games.yahoo.co.jp/qa/detail?qid=1090755405</ref>.
 
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
[[File:Mewtwo.jpg|thumb|140px|left|Mewtwo's appearance from ''Melee''.]]
[[File:Mewtwo SSBM.png|frame|right]]
In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Mewtwo is an unlockable character. Mewtwo appears after the player has played a total of twenty hours of VS matches with one player, fifteen hours with two players, ten hours with three players, and five hours with four players. It then battles the match's winner; if the player defeats Mewtwo, it is playable from then on.
 
Mewtwo is a somewhat heavy character, but it has a high air jump (stemming from its Psychic abilities). Its attacks can be pretty powerful, but it is not very fast. Mewtwo also floats above the ground, making it an easy target to send flying and even KO at low damage percentages, and it also has low traction. Mewtwo also possesses a strong grab, and its throw moves pack a strong punch as well. Although these attributes make it difficult to control, Mewtwo is incredibly powerful once used correctly.
 
Mewtwo does not use its hands to hold items, using [[wikipedia:Telekenesis|telekinetic]] powers instead, making the items hover before it. A similar style is seen when Mewtwo hangs on a cliff or grabs another character. The only time it does touch an item is when floating on the [[Parasol]]. Mewtwo is voiced by Masachika Ichimura in both English and Japanese.

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
Mewtwo is one of the five characters who did not return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a playable character (the other four being [[Dr. Mario (character)|Dr. Mario]], [[Young Link]], [[Pichu]], and [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]]). It is the only non-clone character to not return, although hackers have discovered data for it, meaning that at one point during development, it was intended to return. It does, however, have the appearance of a trophy, which can be obtained by completing All-Star Mode on Intense difficulty.
 
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
{{upcoming|section=yes|downloadable character}}
[[File:Mewtwo-SSBU.jpg|thumb|right|'''Mewtwo''', as it appears in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.]]
Originally, Mewtwo only appeared as a collectible trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. Additionally, a Mega Mewtwo X & Y trophy appeared exclusively for ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.
 
During the ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' 50-Fact Extravaganza, however, Mewtwo was confirmed to appear as a downloadable fighter for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0BBGzfw0pQ&list=UUGIY_O-8vW4rfX98KlMkvRg Wii U - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza]. Posted to YouTube by Nintendo (October 23, 2014). Retrieved October 23, 2014.</ref> It is one of two cut characters from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' to return, alongside [[Dr. Mario]]. Mewtwo is set to be released publicly as paid content at the [[Nintendo eShop]] on April 28th, 2015, but players who have registered ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' onto their [[Club Nintendo (rewards program)|Club Nintendo]] account before the end of March 31, 2015 will receive free download codes for Mewtwo on April 15th, 2015.
 
While Mewtwo's moveset appears to be identical to that of its ''Melee'' incarnation, it has been confirmed that Mewtwo will Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y for its [[Final Smash]], and use Psystrike to damage all nearby opponents.

==Special Moves==
===Shadow Ball===
[[File:Mewtwo's Shadow Ball.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Mewtwo's '''Shadow Ball'''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Shadow Ball}}
'''Shadow Ball''', a [[bulbapedia:Shadow Ball (move)|move from the ''Pokémon'' series]], is Mewtwo's special move that is executed simply by pressing the B button. The Shadow Ball is in a way similar to [[Samus]]'s [[Charge Shot]]. If done correctly, Mewtwo should start charging up a ball of dark matter in its hands. The player could hold the B button to charge it even more. One could even walk with it. Once charged enough, the player must either let go of the button (if charging it up), or press the B button (if walking around with it) in order to shoot it at the opponent. The more it is charged up, the slower it will move (and the slower it will bob up and down as it floats along); this means that while the attack is very powerful once charged up to the max, there is a good chance Mewtwo will miss the foe. Also, when shot at full power, the resulting shockwave pushes Mewtwo back a few feet. After the attack travels so far, it disappears. [[Kirby]] can also use Shadow Ball if he sucks up Mewtwo's power. When he copies it, however, because he is much shorter they will likely hit the ground unless Kirby is in the air.
 
[[Lucario]] possesses a similar move called [[Lucario#Aura Sphere|Aura Sphere]].
 
===Confusion===
[[File:Mewtwo's Confusion Move.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Mewtwo's '''Confusion'''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Confusion}}
:''You may be looking for the "[[Confused]]" status effect from [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]].''
'''[[bulbapedia:Confusion (move)|Confusion]]''' is Mewtwo's side Special Move. If done correctly, Mewtwo will use psychic energy to flip any player in front of itself. This can be used to stop the opponent in their tracks if they are trying to attack or to distract the opponent so that Mewtwo can escape. Confusion can also be used to repel projectiles, like [[Link]]'s [[Bow (move)|Bow]] or [[Mario]]'s [[Fireball]]. Also, Confusion is in fact one of Mewtwo's attacks from the [[Pokémon]] series. Oddly enough, even though this attack can repel projectiles, the projectiles can't hurt the attacker; for example, Mewtwo can't hurt Mario with his own fireballs. This is changed in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', so that reflected projectiles can hit their original users.
 
===Teleport===
{{main|SmashWiki:Teleport}}
{{redirectshere|Teleport|[[Boo]] and [[King Boo]]'s special ability|[[Teleport (Mario Super Sluggers)|here]]}}
[[File:Mewtwo's Teleport Move.jpg|thumb|right|Mewtwo's '''Teleport'''.]]
'''[[bulbapedia:Teleport (move)|Teleport]]''' is both Mewtwo's Up + B Special and its third jump. This time, Mewtwo uses its Psychic abilities to teleport itself upwards into the sky. Once done, it will drop down onto the field. The attack doesn't do any damage and is merely a recovery move for when Mewtwo falls off the stage or needs to avoid a barrage of opponents. If this move ends in mid-air, Mewtwo will be put into a helpless state.
 
===Disable===
[[File:Mewtwo's Disable Move.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Mewtwo's '''Disable'''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Disable}}
'''Disable''' is Mewtwo's last Special Move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It is executed by pressing Down + B. Once performed correctly, it will make sparks come out of Mewtwo's eyes, and if they hit anybody, then the character becomes immobile in the same way as when a player's shield is broken. This leaves the opponent open for attack. However, the move will lose it's effect after a period of time. Opponents can also snap out of the Disable if they are hit once. If Mewtwo does this move again if its target is immobile, then the target will be sent flying into the air, with only one damage made to them. The attack can also be used to help Mewtwo run away.
 
The move does have drawbacks, however. Disable is useless unless Mewtwo's target is facing it. Also, the move can be blocked, and even reflected, meaning that Mewtwo can become immobilized by its own attack.
 
In the ''Pokémon'' games, [[bulbapedia:Disable (move)|Disable]] does not stun the opponent but makes one of its moves temporarily unusable.
{{br}}
 
===Mega Evolution===
[[File:MegaMewtwoY-SSBU.jpg|thumb|right|Mewtwo mega evolves into '''Mega Mewtwo Y'''.]]
'''Mega Evolution''' is Mewtwo's [[Final Smash]] for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. Mewtwo will mega evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y, and utilize Psystrike to damage all nearby opponents.

|''A genetically created Pokémon, Mewtwo is the result of many long years of research by a solitary scientist. Although Mewtwo was cloned from the genes of the legendary Pokémon Mew, its size and character are far different than its ancestor. Its battle abilities have been radically heightened, making it ruthless.

|align=center | B: Shadow Ball<br>Smash B: Confusion
|''As Mewtwo relies mostly on its powerful brain, there are times when it scarcely uses its arms and legs. Since Mewtwo spends much of its time floating, it flies far when struck. Shadow Ball traces a jagged path once released: the longer Mewtwo holds it, the more powerful it becomes. Mewtwo uses Confusion to spin its foes around.
|-
!Mewtwo (All-Star)
|[[File:Trophy54.PNG|100px]]
|align=center | Up & B: Teleport<br>Down & B: Disable
|''Mewtwo is definitely not a speedy character, but its ESP-powered grab and throw moves are comparatively strong. Teleport has a short range, but doesn't leave it open to attack. It's best used as an escape move during disturbances. Mewtwo can daze a foe if it makes eye contact and uses Disable; the move is useless unless Mewtwo is facing its enemy.

|'''NTSC-U''': ''It's almost no surprise that a Pokémon as powerful as Mewtwo wouldn't be limited to a single Mega Evolution. Mega Mewtwo X has strong arms and legs, while Mega Mewtwo Y has a whiplike, slender head. The differences aren't just physical - X brings improved fighting power, while Y can unleash even more psychic power.''
|-
|'''PAL''': ''Mega Mewtwo comes in two forms rather than just one. Mega Mewtwo X has visibly strengthened limbs, which greatly boost its physical abilities in battle. Mega Mewtwo Y, on the other hand, has a whip-like tendril extending from the back of its head, which augments its psychic powers.''

==Trivia==
*Mewtwo never does speak when the language is set to English (or, in the PAL version, at all); it makes only grunts, sinister laughs, and other noises. However, it does speak telepathically on the results screen when the language is set to Japanese.
*When in metal form, Mewtwo does not make clanking noises, even when it lands.
*Mewtwo's Pokédex entry states that it weighs 269 lbs. Despite this, it is lighter than [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Zelda]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Additionally, Mewtwo's weight is higher than that of all the playable Pokémon in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' (none of them weighing more than 200 lbs.), but some of those Pokémon are heavier than [[Mario]], who's heavier than Mewtwo in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
*When Mewtwo was shown on its American / PAL trailer for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' during the April 1, 2015  Nintendo Direct, the message of its inclusion says "Mewtwo Strikes Back!", referencing the first Pokémon movie, ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''.
