SHORT BIO

Mewtwo is characterized as being one of the strongest Pokemon ever created!  That's right, created!  Mewtwo is named so after another Pokemon named Mew.  Mewtwo was a science experiment gone wrong!  Everyone loves Mewtwo!  Especially since he was in the first generation of Pokemon being number one-hundred and fifty.  Unfortunately, Mewtwo was only in one Super Smash Bros. game.  He was a great asset to the Smash Bros. team, until Nintendo decided to annoy everyone and not include him in Brawl!  Why Nintendo?!  Why?!

PROS AND CONS

PROS:

Mewtwo is a very powerful character!  Plus he isn't just powerful, he is quick too!\

Mewtwo has a pretty good reach because he uses his tail sometimes.

Has a very good jump and double jumping abilities and he knows teleport, which makes him very easy to dodge his enemy's attacks!

CONS:

Honestly, the only con I can think of is that he is not in Brawl!

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

STRENGTHS:

Dr. Mario and Mario are not very good characters to begin with.  Both of their projectiles are easy to dodge and are not much of a threat to Mewtwo.  In addition to that, Mewtwo is quicker and more powerful than they are.

Bowser, Ganondorf, and Donkey Kong all have about the same amount of power as Mewtwo does.  However, Mewtwo has the advantage because of his speed.  If any of those three characters give you trouble, just shoot them with Mewtwo's Shadow Ball move.

Mewtwo is quicker and more powerful than Peach is.  Plus, Mewtwo has a longer reach with his tail.

Mewtwo can dodge the Ice Climbers' projectiles very easily.  Also, Mewtwo is quicker and more powerful up close.  The same also goes for Kirby.  If Kirby sucks you up, Mewtwo can dodge shadow ball pretty easily.  Just watch out for Kirby's Down B move.

Jigglypuff is slower and less powerful than Mewtwo is.  Plus she doesn't have any projectiles.  Just watch out for her rollout move.

Pikachu and Pichu are both light weights.  So when Mewtwo hits either of them with a strong blast move, they go flying.

WEAKNESSES:

Captain Falcon is faster than Mewtwo is and he can spam his opponent as well.  Try fighting Captain Falcon in the air.

Fox is also quicker than Mewtwo, which leaves him at a disadvantage.  Mewtwo can dodge Fox's laser gun, so try to hit fox with powerful smash attacks.

Mewtwo's projectile is certainly not the best.  This leaves Link and Young Link with a huge advantage.  Your best bet while fighting the Link's is to fight up close.  Try to send them flying with smash moves and fight them in the air.

TIPS

Using Over B and then hitting them while they are vulnerable is a good combo!  Try to have shadow ball charged up and watch them go flying!

Mewtwo's Up A smash is a powerful move!  Use it!

Mewtwo is a good fighter in the air and up close! 

With his jumping and teleportation abilites he can easily dodge almost an move, especially projectiles!
