Introduction
Mr. Game & Watch is currently ranked 22nd in Melee's tier list. Mr. Game & Watch's positive attributes include extremely powerful killers that can last a long time and a slew of moderately effective special moves, one of which can give a OHKO. Surprisingly Mr. Game & Watch also has a great wavedash and an amazing fastfalling and traction attributes. However, Mr. Game & Watch's flaws are due to how he was translated to Melee; he has a bad approach due to his slow overall speed, and he generally is rather predictable. His high hitstun and low weight also make him an easy target for combos. Mr. Game & Watch also has the dubious distinction of being the only character in the game who cannot L-cancel most of his aerial attacks (only Fair and Dair cancellable); all of this gives him very poor matchups against a majority of the cast and define his weak points.
