He was the best MewTwo player in the world, so they gave him his own spot on the tier list… Kind of.
Taj is a Melee legend. Hailing from Arizona, the undisputed best MewTwo player in the late ots and early 2010s has quite the resume. He has wins over top players like Forward, ChuDat, King, and many others. He and Forward were the first players in history to beat the legendary team of Ken and Isai. At FCD 2007, he took 13 stocks off the Midwest crew by himself. And his Shadowclaw combo videos are some of the swaggiest montages from that era.
So, when the MBR released its 2008 tier list, it had two separate spots for Mewtwo. Regular old low-tier MewTwo at #24 with a rating of 1.8, and Taj’s Mewtwo, who was placed in the high tier with a rating of 7.8.
When this post went up, many on Smashboards simply accepted that “yeah, that checks out”. Taj had such a legendary status in the community that it kind of made sense to separate his MewTwo from everyone else’s.
It took almost half a year before the inside joke was revealed. Taj’s tag on Smashboards was Taj278. As in Taj Mew 2 - 7.8.
