Cloud vs. Mewtwo Super Smash Bros. 4 tiers, match-up votes and discussion

I think this is mewtwo's worst matchup. Cloud can outrange mewtwo, and KO him with his limit breaks around 60-90% easily. Mewtwo players have to be smart and creative with their tactics to win this matchup. Use Confusion only to reflect Blade Beam, using Confusion against Cloud himself is a very bad idea, since he can punish you with his N-air. Use Shadow Balls to space out Cloud or edgegaurd and use Disable when Cloud is left open, since most of his attacks have cooldown. Use these and you should be fine

I used to think this was one of the worst matchups for Mewtwo, but it has some tools to make it mostly even or just a slight disadvantage (IMO). Yes, cloud hits pretty hard, but Mewtwo has it's nair, fair, grabs and dtilt to keep him honest. footstool to disable kills cloud super early as well, and off-stage mewtwo can gimp/hit hard with with fair and bair. On the other hand, Cloud mostly outranges mewtwo and hits super hard. Cloud can outcamp mewtwo thanks to limit, which kind of forces mewtwo to play a bit more offensively. I'd say it's probably 45/55 in favor of cloud, but only if you know how to deal with the matchup, otherwise, cloud destroys mewtwo.
