'''Mewtwo''' is a [[bulbapedia:Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] Psychic-type [[Pokémon]], created scientifically, based on the genetic code of a Mythical 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, the latter of which appears as its [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''.


Mewtwo makes a playable appearance as an unlockable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and as a downloadable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. Its appearance in ''Smash'' is primarily based on its depiction in [[bulbapedia:M01|the first Pokémon anime movie]], where it was cruel, condescending and fierce, traits that carry over to ''Smash''.

==History==
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
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]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Mewtwo (SSBM)}}
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. Its neutral special is [[Shadow Ball]], which charges and fires a ball of dark energy. Its side special is [[Confusion]], which flips opponents onto the ground and deflects projectiles (However, the reflected projectile does not damage opponents). Mewtwo's down special is [[Disable]], which dazes any opponents that it is facing when using the move. Finally, its up special is [[Teleport]], which causes Mewtwo to disappear and reappear in a different location.
 
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''====
[[File:Mewtwo Trophy Render.png|100px|thumb|right|Mewtwo's trophy appearance from ''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]]). [[List of Super Smash Bros. Brawl beta elements#Unused data|Data]] exists on the disc for Mewtwo as a playable character, however, meaning that at one point in development it may have been a character in the game. 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''====
[[File:Mewtwo-SSBU.jpg|thumb|left|'''Mewtwo''', as it appears in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Mewtwo (SSB4)}}
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 three cut characters from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' to return, alongside [[Dr. Mario]] and [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]] (the latter also appearing as a downloadable fighter). Mewtwo was released publicly as paid content at the [[Nintendo eShop]] on April 28, 2015, but players who had 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 received free download codes for Mewtwo on April 15, 2015.
 
While Mewtwo's moveset is identical to that of its ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' incarnation, it has been given a [[Final Smash]]: [[Psystrike]], in which it Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y and delivers a psychic attack. In addition, unlike other fighters, Mewtwo currently does not have any custom special moves. Lastly, Mewtwo is much lighter than it was in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
 
When Mewtwo is downloaded, it will appear in all the solo game modes, except for Events. In All-Star mode, Mewtwo will appear between [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Pikachu]]. However, Mewtwo's inclusion has no effect on any of the challenges.

!Mewtwo (Classic)

|align=center | ''Pok&#233;mon Red & Blue''<br>9/98
|''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.
|-
!Mewtwo (Adventure)
|[[File:Trophy53.PNG|100px]]
|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.

|''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.''
|''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.''

====Palutena's Guidance====
The following dialogue applies also to [[Lucas]], [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]], and [[Ryu]]; all DLC characters, like Mewtwo.
 
*'''[[Pit]]''': Who is THAT?
*'''[[Palutena]]''': I have no data on this fighter. I can't believe it!
*'''Viridi''': It must be an intruder from another dimension!
*'''Pit''': Whoever it is, the goal remains the same: to fight and win!

==Trivia==
*Mewtwo never speaks when the language is set to English (or, in the PAL version, at all); it makes only grunts, laughs, and other noises. However, it does speak telepathically on the results screen when the language is set to Japanese.
*When in metal form in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Mewtwo does not make clanking noises, even when it lands; in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'', while it still does not clank while moving, it does when it lands.
*The tagline for Mewtwo's ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' trailer, "Mewtwo Strikes Back!", is a reference to the name of the [[bulbapedia:M01|first Pokémon movie]].
