Mewtwo Balance Changes

Mewtwo has good combos and air mobility but is often knocked out of attacks by hits that land nowhere near his body, so his tail should stop launching him.

Balance Philosophy

Buff a handful of moves that currently do little for the character's kit so they have more options in combat, and improve several recoveries so low tiers are not losing stocks as cheaply. Not every suggestion needs to be implemented.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Tail hurtbox

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    The tail hurtbox gains super armor and takes half damage.
    Current issue
    Mewtwo is regularly hit out of his own attacks when the opponent is nowhere near him.

Where The Source Is Unclear

  • The source says "damage is halved" without stating whether this refers to damage Mewtwo takes on the tail hurtbox or to something else.
