He didn't outright say Villager is a good matchup, just better for Mewtwo than most high tiers. Confusion may not stop everything, but it definitely limits Villager's approaches with Lloid; there's only so much he can do with it on the offence thanks to his slow mobility.
The only difference is that Mewtwo, like ness and lucas, maintains his momentum while airdodging. Other then that, he has a standard airdodge. In other words, disregard that misinformation.
? What do you mean? Everyone maintains their momentum while air dodging.
Mewtwo's air dodge starts frame 2. Almost 90% of the cast has a frame 3 or 4 air dodge. I believe (I am probably wrong) Palutena and Zelda also have a frame 2 air dodge and Bayonetta has a frame 1 Bat Within.
Probably just refers to how Mewtwo can cover more vertical distance while airdodging due to his second jump, like Ness, Lucas and Yoshi.
It's hard to catch them with dthrow/Confusion to smash due to their good air accel and floatiness. Ness also has some nasty combo breakers in nair and uair. Still, if they're airdodging excessively just get near them without attacking, bait said airdodge then go for the punish.
Ness, Lucas and Mewtwo have a curious thing out of hitstun apparently. I have seen it said many times in so many different places, so if it is false, then it is one giant piece of misinformation. Apparently they carry momentum better? Some characters don't have that much momentum out of a throw or something.
I haven't noticed much with the airdodge, thing. And it isn't only on weight dependent throws. I will ask in the M&T thread if these characters have better airdodge momentum or something. Or if it is simply a DJ Airdodge that lets them get out.
If he rolls towards you as you near, utilt or dsmash. Otherwise if they're the typical "charge n' roll away" type just walk forward and either shield or jab depending on what they tend to follow it with.
There are none. Confusion is -2, the opponent can act faster than we can.
Absolutely zip. You may get an fsmash or dsmash if they're slow to react and their character has poor air mobility or fast falling, disable if they reflexively airdodge, a shieldgrab if they attack, a tech chase if they tech or stage control if they jump. But nothing that works in every circumstance.
Another set up (or tech for this matter) that is critical to M2's set ups/gameplay is phasing. Basically it's using your air dodge from a short hop to either retreat, attack or both (someone please confirm if this is right) so a mix up you can do is air dodge back and throw FC Shadowball at your foe who's charging to punish, just don't be too predictable. Fair is also a good move with phasing forward.
The best you can hope for is: slow reactions from them > jump > FAir. You might get it once, but a smart player will come back with their own FAir as I discovered last night.

and I tested this combo a couple of weeks ago, except we started it with Jab-FS-Disable.

FS >DJ Disable.
i'm aware i just can't perform it on any of the characters this guy is doing it on. i hypothesize he has some special DI or something. idk how he's doing it. try it yourself it wont work. and i think he's doing it in 1.1.5 but i could be wrong. tweets are recent.
Just DJ backwards into Disable. Even though you cancel the DJ immediately, Mewtwo still retains a small amount of momentum.
ok tried the dj backwards still no dice. tried diligently. immediate, fast and slow and in-between. can't get it.
It is a very reliable combo, and something that is easy to get stuck in. It is important to learn more combos and implement them, but at the same time, pick the safest option to get the most damage.I keep relying so much on (jab1)--->dtilt--->fair to maybe a second fair (soooo much) to the point of not getting really creative with my combos and stalling fair badly. Does anyone else can relate with this? Is it only me that find this pattern so satisfying and concern worthy at the same time?
People also seem to feel bad if most of their kills come from Shadow Ball for some reason, as if that's the sign of inferior Mewtwo play. It's not like we have true kill combos, just a lot of reliable moves to throw out for that purpose.
We have true kill combos....
OK, make that no EASY kill combos. Stuff like footstool->disable don't exactly come cheap against strong players.
Well, there could be a few reasons could be behind this
We are actually discussing SB in the metagame thread, so hop over there! Also, Aba used them as a zoning tool. Often times mini SB's can be very useful, even true comboing into Grab at kill percents. He occasionally fully charged one during a stock break, but he seemed to be keeping it from showing on the hands as a mindgame thing.
Not only is it a mindgame but remember that Mewtwo can actually throw Shadow Ball faster from a charge stance. As such you can bait out an air dodge and throw Shadow Ball right afterwards (frame 6, as fast as a jab or D-Tilt).
