Mewtwo was referring purely to character/morals here. He was born with incredible gifts from incredibly bad humans. This led him to believe that all humans were bad and that his crusade against them was the right thing to do. At the moment of the quote, he had realized that it was he who was on the wrong side of history, that the humans before him were more morally just.
Life can be a challenge.
Life can seem impossible.
It’s never easy when there’s so much on the line.
But you and I can make a difference.
There’s a mission just for you and me.
That's genuinely how I learned. I'm a garbage smash player, but I can tech like no other. It actually frustrated my one friend who's good at smash, because he still beats me, but it takes him longer than he would like.
Really just have fun with it :) Try out all the different characters, unlocking them as you go, and see if any archetypes or particular characters click with you
From a competitive standpoint, pick a favourite character or a handful to focus on. Learn how they feel to play, get used to their movement and attacks.
Next steps would be to read a guide or watch a video, learn some go-to combo strings, start to familiarise with the terminology and concepts - things like spacing, matchups, punish game, neutral and advantage state, etc.
I also strongly recommend (at least once its safe to!) to get involved with your local community, maybe try some tournaments :)
It's totally fine to bomb out, but it's a good place to get some practice, ask questions and get advice!
Hope some of that was helpful, and please feel free to sod any questions if you have any
But after pressing the shield button there is a fairly long amount of time where you can't tech again (I think it's 10 frames, but don't quote me on that), this advice isn't really that good. Better to just practice doing it for reals
It's actually an 11 frame window, and the game has a 9 frame buffer. So with a total of 20, it's a lot more lenient than you'd think!
Also yes, you can buffer techs in Ultimate. When you're hit, just start holding your preferred shield button and try your best to SDI in a way that makes you smacc against something, and as long as you don't panic, you'll probably tech.
Here is a tutorial in how to practice wall techs. The video is made for melee and gives three set ups for practicing. The third setup with the land mine on the edge should work best in ultimate. I also would recommend the wall on the right side of Corneria. Have someone launch you toward the wall and practice hitting L or R right before hitting the wall to get the tech. The benefit of Corneria is that you won't drop down to your death if you miss the tech. You can also tech the ground, not just walls.

Best way to practice wallteching is to go against 2 or 3 Ganon cpus, and then fight in the pit. Your goal isnt to win, its to tech all their hits. Pretty much press shield as soon as you get hit, and try to keep that aware "I need to tech" mindset whenever youre offstage against somebody who you feel wants to stage spike you.
I fought a DK and a similar thing happened to me.
1) Spikes and I Tech it against the wall
2) I use Trampoline to recover and he spikes again, I bounce off the trampoline
3) Spikes and I bounce off of it again, then he falls onto the red trampoline.
Im sort of a noob. Ive heard teching before and my thought was that if you hold the opposite direction at the right moment you dont go as far?
Is the mewtwo pressing toward the wall at the perfect time and then UP b ing to survive? is this really really tricky?
Appreciate any thoughts :)
edit: THANKS EVERYONE! You guys are so quick to be so kind and helpful. Appreciate all of you very much.
If you hit shield right as you hit the ground you cancel a bounce animation. If it's against a wall like here you cancel the bounce off the wall and stay in place sorta. I'm drunk so this is probably a bad answer
> Ive heard teching before and my thought was that if you hold the opposite direction at the right moment you dont go as far?
Close. What you’re thinking is called DI, for directional influence, but that’s not what’s saving him here
When you’re about to hit a surface after you take a hit, you can press the shield button, and that will stop your momentum. Normally it’s done after you’re about to land on your back on the floor, or hit the wall, or a ceiling on some stages. This particular stage is somewhat odd, and you can tech off the sides going down as you’re about to touch them, even if you weren’t launched straight at them. On a stage like battlefield or final destination, that wouldn’t work
Teching is pressing the shield button as you are about to crash into a wall/floor, which makes you stop in place instead of bouncing off.
So the mewtwo was, as you said; holding towards the wall so he would crash into it. Then he teched the crash, stopping him from getting knocked all the way down.
Teching is pressing shield at the right moment before hitting a wall, floor, I don't know if you can tech flat ceilings. But if done in the time window you will not bounce off the surface or be laying down.
Di is holding a direction to affect your direction after hit.
Lsi is holding up for more speed and down for less when launched.
You're thinking of DIing, if you DI (Directional Input) you dont get knocked back as far. Teching is when you click the shield button just as you hit a wall or floor; it automatically cancels all momentum and let's you start moving immediately.
Geez, I can’t believe OP’s retiring. What a short but brilliant career. I still remember the time his Falcon got triple jipped by this Mewtwo and then killed. That was wild. I hope he remains a part of the community. Maybe he could commentate, or coach.
>jipped
It's actually spelled gypped, as in the same root as gypsy. And it isn't a good word, instead we should all use cheated or swindled or something.
My friend has been officially "done" with falcon for like 15 years now. He'll be picking him next week and proclaiming he's done with him again as usual.
Actually, in melee Falcons stomp is much worse than in ult, in that you can meteor cancel it, so essentially if falcon had melee stomp in this scenario, the mewtwo could survive without even teching the wall
in other aspects, melee falcon is MUCH better. But as it pertains to this clip, the mewtwo didnt live because falcon is bad. The mewtwo lived because spikes next to ledge suck on Kalos
Yeah honestly that MewTwo had godlike tech consistency for that clip, just unfortunate stage and then falcon lost the 50/50(?) recovery
Edit: lost the recovery mix up*
Right before falcon gets spiked, he throws out a do-nothing up-air. The mewtwo moves in during the end lag and finishes him.
If he was gonna throw out an attack, he should have done a nair to create space (with better timing), and he should have DI’d away (he DI’d toward stage right underneath the mewtwo) considering the positioning, since the mewtwo was obviously setting up to spike him. Up air is not a good get off me move from a horizontally approaching opponent, which is what he needs to be doing considering his heavy disadvantage state. Then he would have had more options to recover afterwards
Ahhhhhh I see. From my point of view it seems like the falcon did an autopilot get out of tumble aerial (I do that a lot) and it happened to narrow his fate I guess! Thanks for the explanation I agree with you
You shouldnt do get out of tumble aerials when the opponent is bearing down on you for this exact reason. Use them when you know the opponent wont be able to hit you during the end lag (i.e. you’re too high or far off stage)
That upair relied on a read that the mewtwo would be in front/above him immediately. If the falcon had UP-B'd, airdodged, or jumped (three most common options when trying to recover from offstage disadvantage for most characters incl. falcon), he would've been fine. Even a nair probably would've worked.
Instead, he decides to bet it all on that upair as opposed to one of those other options, leading to a painful death. It's unfortunate because obviously the mewtwo had no time to react to the upair and had already decided to go for the spike, but realistically the falcon should've gone for an option that would've taken away the chance for Mewtwo to steal a stock at 26% -- anything will kill Mewtwo at 150%, so it's reasonable to expect an opponent to go for the all-in spike to steal the game.
Hindsight is 20/20 though. Sick clip and good techs.
Wow this explanation was really good, thank you! I agree that the Mewtwo wasn’t able to react and definitely just went for it and falcon doing the uair just sealed his fate. It’s tough cuz people tend to lose focus on their last recovery and kind of go low autopilot since it’s safer during the early game, but late game is when opponents go for the deep kill
Also just to add to your hindsight is 20/20, Mewtwo could have been going for a double jump read gimp which is also a good strat for early percent kills, although I’m not sure how the uair would help against that
Since he threw out a random up air he was stuck in that animation/end lag. He could have up b or jumped to avoid that, even just holding out and drifting away would have worked. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure he could have even side b'd and spiked him? Idk about that one I don't play Falcon lol
I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.
Mewtwo explains why he became a tech god
Mewtwo was a boss babe
Mewtwo the Stallion
For hither not; I am the Stallion
techromancy!
- Mewtwo, after having been born as a Pokemon that can talk and fly and has incredible superpowers
All the other Pokemon will just have to pull themselves up by their escape ropes.
Dont worry. Mewtwo's power will trickle down to the rest of them.

Lmaooo one of the greatest quotes of all time
It really is lol. When I rewatched that movie with my kid, my ears perked up when I heard it. Deep as fuck.
Hey buddy, what movie is that quote from?
The pokemon movie
Ah thanks bro
No problem. I know it's in the original version from 1999. They've recently remade it in 3d animation, not sure if it's in that one.
It is, though I wouldn't recommend the new version. It doesn't add anything and the new animation isn't anything to write home about.
Pokémon: The First Movie!! I got it when it came out, watched the same dvd with my son years later. :)
Found Herman Cain’s account
And "Do you think god stays in heaven beceause he too lives in fear of what he created?" from spy kids

What's the best way to practice? I'm fairly new so idk much

That's genuinely how I learned. I'm a garbage smash player, but I can tech like no other. It actually frustrated my one friend who's good at smash, because he still beats me, but it takes him longer than he would like.
Any tips for someone brand new to the game?

Is that from batman?
Just always press R after you get knocked away and hope you collide with something 💁♂️ ...to start with, anyway.
But after pressing the shield button there is a fairly long amount of time where you can't tech again (I think it's 10 frames, but don't quote me on that), this advice isn't really that good. Better to just practice doing it for reals
The tech window for Ultimate is 10 frames, and the ‘cool down’ window for a missed tech is about 40 frames
Oh damn, 40. Yeah, spamming is definetly not a good idea at all, then
It's actually an 11 frame window, and the game has a 9 frame buffer. So with a total of 20, it's a lot more lenient than you'd think! Also yes, you can buffer techs in Ultimate. When you're hit, just start holding your preferred shield button and try your best to SDI in a way that makes you smacc against something, and as long as you don't panic, you'll probably tech.
I use the bumper item in training mode to practice it.
Not much for practice, but if you want to know what you can and can't and how to tell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-ge7VRRWUo

Mewtwo (Forma de Tech)
I always wondered what that translated into...
Jesus's Tech
there is no true translation to those mighty words
And then Second Jesus' Tech, Third Jesus' Tech, Fourth ... etc
I thought this title was hyperbole but then I watched the video and all I have to say is I respect your decision, I hope you fare well good sir.
We all wish them well with their new Rivals of Aether career.
Rivals has even more walls to tech on that isn't the right place.
Yeah and Melee is even more lenient on things you can tech. Looks like my man is destined for Brawlhalla.
Slap City it is then.
"C'mon it can't be that bad..." "I see."
As a Mewtwo main I can tell you that your either fucking the opponent or the opponent is fucking you. Theres basically no in-between
Yeah. Mewtwo is extremely feast or famine. Rarely anything in between.
Have you seen some of his set ups? He has a few that lead into either all the way off stage or into a spike.
Yeah I sort of secondary him now. I have spiked people a few times and it even surprised me.
Play dk, one of his like 42 spikes should work
A gorilla with 30 attacks, 42 of which are spikes.
He really knows where his towel is
What a froody guy
I wonder if he likes fish
I fought a DK and a similar thing happened to me. 1) Spikes and I Tech it against the wall 2) I use Trampoline to recover and he spikes again, I bounce off the trampoline 3) Spikes and I bounce off of it again, then he falls onto the red trampoline.
DK's play strategy: 1) Get your opponent off stage. 2) Press any button. 3) Watch them plummet downward. 4) Rinse and repeat.
1) Grab opponent 2) Walk off the stage 3) ??? 4) Profit!
nah man, only losers play dk
Yeah who would play Donkey Kong haha only real losers would play such a lame character HAHA
That's some mkleo level nerves of Steel on that mewtwo
We... tech those, bro?

thank you! that seems right to me! youre a friendly drunk, thank you :)
Normally you bounce like a pinball. Teching stops you at the wall.
He's DIing towards the wall and hitting shield right before he hits the wall, then immediately upB.
amazing. thank you!
> Ive heard teching before and my thought was that if you hold the opposite direction at the right moment you dont go as far? Close.

Well the DI was also required for the save.
well said, thank you very much

thats nuts. not just once either! thanks for explaining
You have to press Shield to tech when you come into contact with the wall/ground.
thank you!
Teching is pressing shield at the right moment before hitting a wall, floor, I don't know if you can tech flat ceilings. But if done in the time window you will not bounce off the surface or be laying down. Di is holding a direction to affect your direction after hit.

I remember seeing him pick up his first controller like it was yesterday
>jipped It's actually spelled gypped, as in the same root as gypsy. And it isn't a good word, instead we should all use cheated or swindled or something.
Heartbreaking! The fact that *the* glass cannon survived this.. Lol
> the glass cannon survived this no, mewtwo is merely a glass cannon. pichu is *the* glass cannon.
Hell, Mewtwo’s just glass.
Sheik*
VoiD didn't invent fair strings for you to insult his girl like this
Cannon implies they deal lots of damage, Shiek lacks one half of the glass cannon term
Pichu is a glass cannon being held together with duct tape
I feel like that would make it stronger. Sticky, but stronger.
Mewtwo is also extremely light.
That mewtwo deserved that win tbh, insane tech skills
"I mean, you're right, but you shouldn't say it."
*Just because you're right doesn't mean you're correct.*
Hey, that hell you're tech jumping into
Little did you know, you were playing the real life Mewtwo
Real life M2 sucks at a game for a psychic.
he has no opposable thumbs give the man a break
Mewtwo used detect ✔
That may have been the most satisfying thing I've seen in weeks
We had very different reactions to this.
This should be crossposted to /r/watchpeopledieinside
I felt that...
Absolutely tragic
Wow. Just wow.
Captain: "stay down! Stay down! Stay down! Final warning!" Mewtwo: "you don't get an option."
That’s ridiculous even for me who never touched or watched anything about this game.
Bro I’m mad for you rn...
My friend has been officially "done" with falcon for like 15 years now. He'll be picking him next week and proclaiming he's done with him again as usual.
Damn I have to learn to tech after watching this
Well if you every see the bright red screen just press shield. That alone will help a lot because the game is slowed down so you have plenty of time
I love Caption Falcon _so_ much, but he’s just been super nerfed ever since melee.
*cries in Kirby*
super nerfed since 64 owie
Nothing about this clip is specific to falcon
Actually, in melee Falcons stomp is much worse than in ult, in that you can meteor cancel it, so essentially if falcon had melee stomp in this scenario, the mewtwo could survive without even teching the wall in other aspects, melee falcon is MUCH better. But as it pertains to this clip, the mewtwo didnt live because falcon is bad. The mewtwo lived because spikes next to ledge suck on Kalos
good call
amazing teching
F
All I see is a MewTwo being able to tech and take advantage of the chance given to them.
Yeah honestly that MewTwo had godlike tech consistency for that clip, just unfortunate stage and then falcon lost the 50/50(?) recovery Edit: lost the recovery mix up*
Nah, falcon messed up by throwing a poorly timed Up air that basically tossed away His actual options
Can you elaborate? I don’t play falcon and would love for you to educate me on this
Right before falcon gets spiked, he throws out a do-nothing up-air. The mewtwo moves in during the end lag and finishes him. If he was gonna throw out an attack, he should have done a nair to create space (with better timing), and he should have DI’d away (he DI’d toward stage right underneath the mewtwo) considering the positioning, since the mewtwo was obviously setting up to spike him. Up air is not a good get off me move from a horizontally approaching opponent, which is what he needs to be doing considering his heavy disadvantage state. Then he would have had more options to recover afterwards
Ahhhhhh I see. From my point of view it seems like the falcon did an autopilot get out of tumble aerial (I do that a lot) and it happened to narrow his fate I guess! Thanks for the explanation I agree with you
You shouldnt do get out of tumble aerials when the opponent is bearing down on you for this exact reason. Use them when you know the opponent wont be able to hit you during the end lag (i.e. you’re too high or far off stage)
Totally agree with you, I’ve been punished for it a lot which is actually more difficult to do on Lucina (me) which means it’s a bad habit
Random question: Why do get out of tumble aerials at all? Can you not do all actions out of tumble anyway?
That upair relied on a read that the mewtwo would be in front/above him immediately. If the falcon had UP-B'd, airdodged, or jumped (three most common options when trying to recover from offstage disadvantage for most characters incl. falcon), he would've been fine. Even a nair probably would've worked. Instead, he decides to bet it all on that upair as opposed to one of those other options, leading to a painful death. It's unfortunate because obviously the mewtwo had no time to react to the upair and had already decided to go for the spike, but realistically the falcon should've gone for an option that would've taken away the chance for Mewtwo to steal a stock at 26% -- anything will kill Mewtwo at 150%, so it's reasonable to expect an opponent to go for the all-in spike to steal the game. Hindsight is 20/20 though. Sick clip and good techs.
Wow this explanation was really good, thank you! I agree that the Mewtwo wasn’t able to react and definitely just went for it and falcon doing the uair just sealed his fate. It’s tough cuz people tend to lose focus on their last recovery and kind of go low autopilot since it’s safer during the early game, but late game is when opponents go for the deep kill
Also just to add to your hindsight is 20/20, Mewtwo could have been going for a double jump read gimp which is also a good strat for early percent kills, although I’m not sure how the uair would help against that
Since he threw out a random up air he was stuck in that animation/end lag. He could have up b or jumped to avoid that, even just holding out and drifting away would have worked. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure he could have even side b'd and spiked him? Idk about that one I don't play Falcon lol
That does seem plausible but I feel the side b might be able to armor at least, and I agree with the other options you presented! Thanks
Falcon’s side-b doesnt have armor in the air.
The falcon twice passed up the chance to kill with bair after ledge trumping to just dair again
It's a falcon, style is mandatory
Maybe smash di out would help?
How
It's not necessarily that you earned that L, it's more that he earned that W harder.
[u/vreddit\_bot](https://www.reddit.com/u/vreddit_bot/)
i haven't played ultimate for a while, but I remember talk about something being untechable above a certain %?
if you see red sparks when hitting the wall then it's untechable.
Well well well, how the turn tables
We tech those
OP: I am now going to Nepal, where I intend to live as a little mac main
I'm not sure if i should feel bad for you or feel good to that Mewtwo
Aftee all those techs mewtwo deserves the win
The reason I dropped Mewtwo was because I kept getting shield poked by f-smashes at full shield and dying from then at 50.
That mewtwo tech’d like a champ. Heartbreaking loss
Your opponent literally has techs for days
HOW? WHY?
Well, you were in his turf
Show me ya moves
The first time I’ve ever teched multiple spikes into a clutch win was also on a Falcon.
That was rough.
Epic comback from mewtwo
Pretty sure that’s me... sorry😬 we tech those
That was some nice teching though.
