Super Smash Bros Ultimate Mewtwo Changes
As with the rest of the Super Smash Bros Ultimate roster, we’re going to be taking a look at what changes have been made to Mewtwo since its last appearance. Mewtwo was part of Super Smash Bros for Wii U, having been the first DLC character to be added. It looks like there are a number of differences here, so let’s take a look:
- Several of Mewtwo’s animations have been tweaked including Victory Pose, Idle, Up Aerial, and Disable.
- Speaking of Disable, it can now be countered and has more range in terms of vertical reach.
- Shadow Ball deals less damage but reaches full charge more quickly.
- Mewtwo is generally slower and heavier.
- Dash Attack plays out slightly differently, with Mewtwo attacking with one hand in front of the other.
- Confusion has more range.
- The visual effects around Teleport have been tweaked slightly.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate Mewtwo Alternate Outfits/Skins
Mewtwo’s variants make a return in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and they look to be identical to the ones used previously. This includes orange, blue, brown, red, yellow, green, and dark versions. We’ll be updating with screens once we get our hands on the full game. You can get a look at the black Mewtwo variant in the image embedded above.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate Mewtwo Final Smash
Mewtwo’s Final Smash in Ultimate is Psystrike. This is the same as last time, but there are some slight changes. The ball that Mewtwo launches is now a different color, and the animation that plays out when it hits an enemy is much more hectic. You can see it for yourself in the trailer embedded above.
