My main question is, does Me First require the user to have priority in speed compared to the opponent?
I ask because I'm seeing some contradicting evidence.
In the vs wiki for Mewtwo's profile it says:
For Lucario's vs wiki as well it says:
In both cases, Me First essentially gets priority over the opponent's intended damaging move and allows the user to basically mimic and then preemptively use the opponent's move before they themselves can do so.
Whereas over at the Pokemon Database here's the definition given for Me First:
If the opponent is readying a direct attack, the user of Me First will try to copy it and attack with 50% more power. The move only works if the user is faster than the opponent or otherwise able to move first (for example a Quick Claw activating).

Finally Bulbapedia's definition for Me First:
If the target has not made its move this turn, but has selected a damage-dealing move, Me First copies that move preemptively and increases the power by 50%. It bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable tur of a move such as Dig or Fly. Me First will fail if the target selected a non-damaging move, or if the target already executed its move this turn.

So my question is which is correct? Do the vs wiki statements need to be revised as they contradict with the other material sources?
I'd like to use this move for an rp community I'm in. But at the moment, I'm not 100% sure of it's mechanics as I'm seeing clear disagreement with the wiki's statements and the sources I've found.

- Me First: Mewtwo uses the opponent's intended move before they can.
For Lucario's vs wiki as well it says:
- Me First: Lucario takes the move the opponent was about to use, and uses it itself prior to the opponent's execution of it, while somehow making it stronger.
