Wikipedia has an article onMew2King.

Mew2King, commonly known asM2K, is an American smasher from Cinnaminson,New Jersey, who currently resides in Orlando,Florida. He has one of the longest competitive careers inSmash, having begun competition in 2005. He is widely considered to be thegreatest overallSmash player of all time due to his proficiency in nearly everySmash title, which includes being one ofSuper Smash Bros. Melee's "Five Gods" and being the greatestSuper Smash Bros. Brawl player of all time. His acutechaingrabbing,camping,punish game, andcomboing, as well as his extremely optimal and technical playstyle, earned him the nicknameThe Robot.

Mew2King rose to prominence inMelee, where he is considered one of the greatest players of all time due to his status as one of the "Five Gods" and being ranked in the top 10 every year he was active. He was the definitive best player in 2007 and one of the two best players in 2008 (along withMang0). Originally beginning as aFox player, he later addedMarth andSheik to his repertoire and tri-mained these characters for the vast majority of hisMelee career. Best known for the latter two, he is considered one of the greatest Marth players of all time (along withKen andZain) and was one of the heaviest contributors to the Marth metagame alongside Ken. He was also one of the greatest Sheik players of all time (along withPlup andJmook) and one of the greatest Fox players of all time. He was last ranked 10th onMPGR 2019 prior to his hiatus from the game. Mew2King was also one of the first and most important contributors to helping understandSmash as a whole, making many discoveries aboutMelee on his own by testing several aspects of the game, such as characterweight,falling speed, attack knockback,priority, and game physics, and storing this information onSmashBoards as a repository forMelee statistics.

Mew2King had an arguably greater career inBrawl, where he is considered the greatest player of all time. Playing asMeta Knight, Mew2King was regarded as the best player in the world for most of the game's competitive lifespan (2008-2011, 2013), and contributed significantly to Meta Knight's status as the best character in the game; by the end of the game's active lifespan, most top players were playing or had a secondary Meta Knight. He was ranked 5th onSSBBRank 2014 (the game's final ranking during its active lifespan), and was last ranked 12th onSSBBRank 2016-2017.

Mew2King has also had notable, albeit lesser, results in otherSmash games. InSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, he was considered one of the bestCloud players during 2017, placing in the top 8 at a few majors. He was last ranked 26th on thePGR v2 and ultimately ranked 69th on thePGR 100. InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mew2King is aPyra andMythra player, originally playingBowser, and has made a handful of top 64 runs at majors and supermajors. He was last ranked 133rd on theOrionRank North America Top 200.

As of 2024, Mew2King has stepped away fromMelee, citing that negativity within the community has affected his mental state.^[1]

2004-2007: Joining the Melee Scene[edit]

As a young teenager, Mew2King was known for his predictable play; his opponents disparaged him as "The Robot". Most of hisMelee experience had been against CPU opponents, causing him to struggle in mindgames against other players at local tournaments. As a solitary personality with no practice partners, Mew2King instead turned to mining data and theorycrafting responses. In 2004, he andSuperDoodleMan datamined hitboxes, frame data, knockback physics, and otherMelee technical details that are still referenced today.

With his intense dedication to technical play, Mew2King eventually became a dominant force inMelee in 2006.

2008-2013: Era of the Five Gods[edit]

AfterBrawl's release in 2008, Mew2King continued to playMelee while also honing his skills in Brawl. Despite being stretched thin between two games, he was considered the undisputed best player forBrawl and one of the two best players forMelee alongsideMango during some time from 2008 to mid-2009.

During late 2013, after years of not winning a majorMelee tournament, Mew2King went on a winning streak which saw him winThe Big House 3 as well as almost every other singles event he entered, taking sets off of players who he had seldom defeated in that recent time, includingMango,Hungrybox, andPPMD. This is commonly referred to as "The Return of the King".

2013-2019: Unto Retirement[edit]

Mew2King dabbled inSSB4; however, he was notorious for dropping out of nationalSSB4 tournaments to focus onMelee, generally if he was sent to losers bracket early in pools. He initially mained Diddy Kong. However, upon the release of update1.0.6, which heavily nerfed Diddy Kong and removed his notorious "Hoo-Hah" combo, Mew2King was left unable to play Diddy as well as he had before, lamenting that he went from being the second bestDiddy Kong player to not even a top 10 Diddy. He tested with multiple characters in the game such asCaptain Falcon,Mario,Rosalina & Luma,Mii Brawler, and Donkey Kong attempting to get a new main. Donkey Kong notably got him 3rd atPAX Prime 2015 and 5th atSKTAR 4, leading him to be ranked as a top 5SSB4Donkey Kong player on the PGR V3. He popularized the "Ding Dong", a combo involving a cargo up throw into up aerial which can kill at low percentages. Despite his efforts, Mew2King did not feel confident in any character and was doubtful that he would achieve the same success from before the update. He would later go on to say because of this that he was not too fond ofSSB4 as a competitive game but thought it was great casually, something he has also said aboutSmash 64.

Upon the release of Cloud as DLC however, Mew2King recanted his statement, picking the new character up as his main, and now being allowed to once again adopt his signature playstyle. Mew2King has commented that "Cloud makes [him] actually loveSmash 4", reflecting in his newfound desire to practice the game heavily and better tournament placings in 2016, leading him to be considered one of the bestSSB4 players in North America throughout the year. With Mew2King's resurgence using Cloud, he has taken sets off many top players, the most notable being the #1 and #2 players in the world at the time,ZeRo andAlly.

Mew2King further improved hisMelee game in 2016, 3-0ing ArmadaSmash Summit 2 as well as winningClutch City Clash andShine 2016, one of the largestMelee events of all time, as well as other smaller regional tournaments such asEndgame andApex 2016. He also had one of the most legendary losers' runs in the history of the game atUGC Smash Open: after being knocked into the losers' bracket in round 1 of Winners' bracket byn0ne, he defeated Duck, Mango, Ice, SFAT, n0ne, Leffen, Hungrybox, and Armada before losing to Armada in Set 2 of Grand Finals. Other notable performances in 2016 include 2nd atCEO 2016, 3rd atSmash 'N' Splash 2,WTFox 2 (where he notably 3-0d Hungrybox), andSuper Smash Con 2016, and 5th atEVO 2016. In 2017, he defeated Armada and Leffen atCanada Cup 2017, taking home the title. He also wonCEO Dreamland, defeating Hungrybox in the process, and took 2nd atSuper Smash Con 2017 under Mango. In 2018, M2K took home his first supermajor tournament in almost a decade atSmash Summit 6, where he defeated Armada twice. Later in the year, atSuper Smash Con 2018, M2K found himself in yet another Grand Finals against Armada, 3-0ing Hungrybox to reach there. M2K would take Armada to Set 2 Game 10 in what is almost unanimously considered one of the greatestMelee sets of all time. Both players were at near peak performance, but Armada would edge it out to take home his final Melee trophy before retirement. After the release ofUltimate, M2K would focus largely on the new game, essentially "soft-retiring" from Melee. He briefly returned to theMelee scene in October atThe Big House 9, defeating iBDW and Hungrybox before falling to Zain and Fiction.

Playing Smash 4 atGet On My Level 2016, Mew2King became the fifth player to take a set off of ZeRo (afterMr. ConCon,Vinnie,Seagull Joe, andNairo), and the first player to ever defeat ZeRo in a best of 5 set without losing a single game. Mew2King played Cloud for the whole set, while ZeRo played Diddy Kong game 1, and switched to Sheik for games 2 and 3. He also placed 5th atShine 2016, defeatingLarry Lurr 3-0.

Playstyle[edit]

This article or section may require acleanup. The editor who added this tag believes this page should be cleaned up for the following reason:Some of what is written here bleeds into being written like a history section, particularly the last three paragraphs of the Melee subsection, which would be more appropriate in an actual history section. On that note, this article really needs a history section. You can discuss this issue on thetalk page oredit this page to improve it.

Melee[edit]

Mew2King is arguably the best defensive player in the world. He has one of the best powershielding abilities among allSmash players, and can effectively bait bad decisions from other players. Mew2King is a very punish-heavy player, and focuses on getting one crucial hit, then converting that hit into a position where he is primed to begin a combo and the opponent has limited options. Once he lands an opening move, he will usually land harsh punishes which tend to lead to a KO, due to his knowledge of character weights and KO percents. These punishes also usually encompass all of the opponent'stech andDI options, making them nearly impossible to escape. He also has arguably the bestedgeguarding game, due to his aforementioned superb option coverage, as well as some of the best recovery mix-up tactics.

Mew2King is considered one of the top players onFinal Destination; asMarth against fastfallers, he is extremely consistent inchaingrabbing and comboing them from 0% to a KO off of a single conversion, and asSheik, he can lock down other characters, mostly mid-tiered characters, longer than he could than on stages with platforms. His character choices seem to be stage specific, particularly on the opponent's counterpick; he will usually pick Marth on Final Destination andFountain of Dreams, Sheik onDream Land, and Fox or Marth onPokémon Stadium; he is more flexible on the remaining two stages.

Mew2King, however, has a weaker neutral game compared to other players of his caliber. His neutral game focuses on unorthodox approaches, which he employs to force his opponents into positions where they have limited options, usually reduced down to a 50/50 situation where he can exploit his superior knowledge of character hitboxes. While this strategy works well against Fox and Falco as he only needs one exchange win to convert into a KO, it is not as strong againstfloaty characters that are more difficult to combo, and can be exploited by clever baits from players of his caliber.^[2]

Mew2King is also known for heavilycounterpicking in specific matchups, sometimes with disappointing results. For example, he will only play Fox againstJigglypuff, as Fox is technically superior in that matchup, though he has seen mixed results againstHungrybox. He was the first top player to recognize the potential ofSnowy, even teaming with him at Dreamhack Denver - a Puff player thatArmada andLeffen train with for the Jigglypuff matchup. He will usually playPeach againstIce Climbers at high-level play just because she has a greater advantage against the Climbers than any of his mains, instead of learning the matchup with Marth or Fox, who are considered to also have winning matchups. Because his Peach is not practiced to the same level as his mains, he has lost at least once to almost every notable Ice Climbers player, and has even lost games toNintendude's Peach andChuDat's Jigglypuff. Occasionally, Mew2King has counterpicked Jigglypuff in certain games against other Jigglypuff players, such asMango and Hungrybox, which generally lead to his defeat. He is also known for his use of several low tier characters, and has been considered one of the four bestMeleeMewtwo players (alongsideTaj,Leffen, andZoma) and arguably the bestPichu player in the world.

Mew2King tends to struggle to remain composed when losing, particularly when the crowd is cheering for the other player, as seenagainst aMSa at Kings of Cali 4 andagainst Armada at EVO 2013. This was especially an issue before the adoption of noise-cancelling headphones at tournaments.

Brawl[edit]

InBrawl, Mew2King possessed an extremely deadly punish game with hisMeta Knight, able to exploit small mistakes into a huge advantage for him. To provoke opponents into making mistakes, he would often shark and drift to open holes, but will ensure he will not be too aggressive, lest he be punished by foes that capitalize on overextensions. He implementsShuttle Loop into his recovery often, mixing them up with multiple jumps and all of his other specials. He was also considered to be one of the bestKing Dedede players shortly afterBrawl's release, and was known to still use the character along withFalco in tournaments where Meta Knight was banned.

SSB4[edit]

InSSB4, Mew2King was initially a Diddy Kong main, heavily utilizing the character's powerful air game to net several great placings in tournaments, and he was considered one of the best Diddy Kong players in the world in the early metagame. He felt disillusioned by update1.0.6 and soon adopted Cloud as his main upon his DLC release.

With his use ofCloud, Mew2King retains his signature defensive playstyle, using Cloud's impressive reach to zone out his opponents whilecharging his Limit Break gauge, and punishing the opponent's mistakes should they approach him incorrectly. He is notorious for using Cloud's Limit Break specials very liberally, instead of saving them for more opportune moments or retaining Limit Break for the increase in movement stats, to the point he sometimes even garners an early KO with them. Mew2King is also a proponent of taking to the air rather than staying grounded for the majority of the match, and going for off-stage edgeguards, even in spite of Cloud's sub-par recovery without Limit Break.

However, his excessive Limit Charging can leave openings for other characters to either tack on damage, charge their respective special moves, or spawn an item that can completely change the matchup (such asDiddy Kong'sBanana Peel). Like inMelee, Mew2King tends to go for risky, yet very rewarding options in certain situations, which may lead to either character or both characters losing a stock, such as ina match at Apex 2016 againstNietono.

Controversies[edit]

Bracket manipulation controversies[edit]

Mew2King has been accused of harming the progression of multiple tournaments in the past, with much of the controversy focusing on threebracket manipulation infractions inBrawl tournaments:

1. AtMLG DC 2010, after losing toADHD in the loser's finals, he accepted a $500 compensation from ADHD^[3]. In response, MLG banned both players from the 2010 MLG finals under the grounds of "forfeiting or conspiring to manipulate Rankings or Brackets."
2. In May of 2011, Mew2King, ADHD, and Anti all received yellow cards under the Unity infraction system forbracket manipulation in response to a situation atKTAR 5. Mew2King had forfeited toAnti in the Winners' Semifinals, defeatedDabuz in Losers' Quarters, then forfeited to ADHD in Losers' Semis. All of the players besides Dabuz agreed to split their winnings afterwards.
3. AtGENESIS 2 (July, 2011), Mew2King received a red card under the Unity infraction system for "intentional under-performance" by choosingGanondorf in a pool match againstSade and allowing himself to lose, after dominating the rest of his pool with his usual Meta Knight.

In response to some of these splitting controversies, Mew2King has stated that he was either in a poor mood during the tournament sets, or that he agreed to split because splitting was extremely common at the time, with him believing that splitting money was considered acceptable behaviour; he has stated that he was also not aware that the MLG's ruleset banned splitting.

Revival of Melee 5[edit]

After some time without major controversy from bracket manipulation, Mew2King caused a significant stir-up atRevival of Melee 5'sMelee singles event. Assuming thatDave's modified stupid rule was in effect, as it was with most other tournaments during that year, he counterpickedFinal Destination, a stage he had already won on, for his game 5 againstRyan Ford in Winners' Semis. After M2K won the match, Ford expressed his skepticism to the TO, Alukard, who ruled that game 5 was to be replayed. Ford proceeded to win the replay, leading to the following chain of events:

1. Mew2King forfeits from the tournament.
2. He later re-enters the tournament after some convincing fromHax.
3. KirbyKaze throws Winners' Finals against Ford, and M2K and Ford agree to split publicly.
4. Ford refuses to play his main in Grand Finals and M2K wins the tournament, causing backlash from the community.

While this controversy started with Mew2King's mistake in his stage counterpick, it is not considered entirely his fault. Many place the majority of the blame on Alukard for forcing the players to replay the match, and some on Ford for not checking the rule until after the game.

Trivia[edit]

• Mew2King, being a very technical player, was initially an outspoken critic ofBrawl, claiming that it lacked many of the elements that madeMelee a fun game to play^[4]. Later, he sawBrawl as an opportunity to get ahead of the curve, and began playing it competitively as well.
• Mew2King,Hungrybox,Mango,Armada, andMkLeo share the distinction of having won more than $200,000 in a selectSmash title, with all but MkLeo having done so inMelee.
  • Mew2King also holds the record for the most total money won inBrawl tournaments.
• Mew2King is able to play the majority of theMelee cast, including mid and low tiers, at a high level, exemplifying this by beatingMango in two26-character battles atSmash the Record, having only had to use five characters the first time, and 15 characters the second time.
• Mew2King is the only "God" ofMelee to not hold a positive record over another god.
  • Mew2King is also the only god not to have won a tournament with all the other gods present.
• He was featured in theGuinness World Records 2017 Gamer's Edition along withZeRo for being the player with theMost eSports tournament results (at 339).
• People who triple-mainFox,Sheik andMarth inMelee are sometimes said to "main Mew2King". Smashers who are examples of this areDruggedFox,Ice,AbsentPage,Rudolph,KDJ,Tink,Azen, andEk.
