Mewtwo (Life & Death)

Mewtwo (ミュウツー, Mewtwo) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Pokémon that debuted in Generation I, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #150 as the "Genetic Pokémon". Unlike the overwhelming majority of Pokémon, Mewtwo was artificially created: a team of scientists performed genetic recombination on a sample of DNA derived from the Mythical Pokémon Mew in order to create the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Its creation is documented in a researcher's journals scattered across an abandoned mansion on Cinnabar Island.
Mewtwo is voiced by Masachika Ichimura in-game, who reprises the role from the Pokémon anime and Super Smash Bros. Melee, as well as taking over the role from Keiji Fujiwara who passed away in April 2020 with Ultimate being his final portrayal of the character. 
==How to Unlock==
*???
*???
*Get him to join your party in the Kiss of Death.
With the exception of the final task, completing one of the above will lead to Mewtwo challenging the player on Spear Pillar. Defeating him unlocks him for regular gameplay.
==Moveset==
* Mewtwo has a special double jump that propels it in a floatier, curved trajectory with significantly more height. This trait is shared with Ness, Lucas, Kazuya, and Sora. The upward momentum of Mewtwo's double jump can be canceled by inputting a special move or throwing an item.
* Mewtwo can wall jump.
* The inner hitboxes of Mewtwo's tail attacks deal more damage and knockback than the outer hitboxes.
 	Name 	Description
Neutral Attack 	N/A 	Extends its arm to emit a pulse of dark energy. Repeatedly pressing the attack button causes Mewtwo to sway its arm up and down to emit multiple pulses of dark energy before finishing with a dark energy-infused upward swipe.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	Swings its tail forward.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	Telekinetically backflips to swing its tail in an overhead arcing motion.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	Crouches and spins around to swing its tail in front of itself.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	A lunging, dark energy-infused palm thrust.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	Quickly cups its hands to its side, and then thrusts them forward to perform a double palm thrust that emits a blast of dark energy. It can be angled. It resembles Mewtwo's animation when performing a special move in the Pokémon Stadium games, and one of its attacking animations as of Pokémon X and Y.
Up Smash 	N/A 	Thrusts its arm upward to emit a swirling, galaxy-shaped blast of dark energy.
Down Smash 	N/A 	Extends its arm at a diagonal angle toward the ground to emit a blast of dark energy from its fingertip. It is one of the few down smashes that does not hit on both sides.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	Discharges electricity around itself with its limbs spread out.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	A dark energy-infused swipe.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	Swings its tail behind itself in an upward arc.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	Backflips to swing its tail in an overhead arcing motion, similarly to its up tilt.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	A backflipping, dark energy-infused stomp.
Grab 	N/A 	Telekinetically holds an opponent.
Pummel 	N/A 	Releases a pulse of darkness into the opponent.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	Telekinetically lifts the opponent diagonally in the air before firing five Shadow Balls at them. It deals 15% if all hits connect, making it the most damaging forward throw in the game. However, the Shadow Balls can be reflected by any character with a passive reflector, such as Hero using Bounce or any opponent wearing a Franklin Badge. By extension, other nearby opponents with reflectors and/or absorption moves can choose to intercept it.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Telekinetically throws the opponent backward.
Up Throw 	N/A 	Telekinetically whirls the opponent around itself before launching them upward above its head.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Telekinetically slams the opponent to the ground, and then somersaults in order to strike them with its tail.
Neutral Special	Shadow Ball	Cups its hands to its side and creates a large, blackish violet sphere of dark energy between its hands, then thrusts its hands forward to launch the sphere. Like all of Mewtwo's specials, it can be used to cancel the upward momentum of Mewtwo's double jump.
Side Special 	Confusion 	Swipes forward to emit a ripple of psychic energy from its hand.
Up Special 	Teleport 	Teleports to a different location.
Down Special 	Disable 	Emits a minuscule spark of psychic energy from its eyes toward the opponent, stunning them if they are on the ground and launching them backward with weak knockback if they are airborne. It only works if the opponent is facing Mewtwo and will have no effect otherwise. Due to being a projectile, Disable can also be reflected.
Final Smash 	Psystrike 	Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y and performs Psystrike, its signature move in the Pokémon games. Psystrike is a powerful sphere of psychic energy that plows through both opponents and walls, and any opponent caught will be stunned before being launched by an intense, mind-shattering blow. Incredibly powerful, KOing at around 50% from center stage.
==Other Animations==
Animation 	Description 	Notes
On-Screen Appearance 	Teleports onscreen, and descends to the ground as dark energy disperses from its body. 	
Taunt 1 	Folds its arms as it telekinetically spins around on the spot while laughing ominously. Resembles the animation Mewtwo performs while using a physical move in the Pokémon Stadium games. If Mewtwo is holding an item, the item will telekinetically twirl around with it on the final spin. 	
Taunt 2 	Surrounds itself in a flame-like aura of dark energy, similarly to Fox and Lucario's up taunts. 	
Taunt 3 	After turning to face the screen, it waves its hand in a circular motion in front of itself. It then proceeds to thrust its opposite arm forward while emitting a small spark of dark energy from its palm. If Mewtwo is holding an item, the item will orbit telekinetically around its body as it does this.

Screen KO 	 	
Character Selection Screen	 	
Crowd Chant 	Mewwww-two! 	
Victory Pose 1 	While radiating a dark aura, Mewtwo raises its left hand in front of itself while pulling back its right hand. Mewtwo then thrusts its right hand forward, emitting dark energy sparks from its palm. Mewtwo emits an ominous growl throughout the pose. In Japanese, it says "私は負けるわけにはいかない！", which translates to "I cannot afford to lose!" 	
Victory Pose 2 	Mewtwo crosses its arms as it turns its back to the screen, and looks back over its shoulder, scoffing. In Japanese, it says "私はなぜ ここにいるのか…？", which translates to "Why am I here...?" 	
Victory Pose 3 	Does a single spin while levitating, then poses with a dark aura bursting from its body as it laughs. In Japanese, it says "愚かな！", which translates to "Foolish!"

==Fighter Spirits==
Mewtwo's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Mewtwo in The Kiss of Death allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Life & Death.
