Mewtwo (ミュウツー, Mewtwo) is an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is one of eleven playable characters that can be unlocked in the game. Mewtwo is ranked 21st on the current tier list mainly due to its poor attributes (slow movement speed, tall, floaty, light, tail hitbox). However, Mewtwo rose significantly (the highest rise in the tier list and the highest change in any Melee tier list, rising 6 places), due to techniques that have been developed over the last two years of competitive play, such as teleport mindgames, and its good ability to either combo or have great tech chasing after its down throw. It also has good recovery, powerful throws, good combos, and the third best wavedash in the game, falling shy of Luigi and the Ice Climbers.
