Edit Introduction

Introduction

Mr. Game & Watch is currently ranked 19th 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.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Disjointed hitboxes - All of Game & Watch moves can outrange most of the melee cast, with the only exception being Marth and Roy.

Good Combo Game - Mr. Game & Watch' moveset mixes well enough to allow him to rack up easy percent combos at low percent, while being notoriously great against fast fallers like Fox and Falco. His combo game is accentuated with his ability to chaingrab all of the cast in vast stages.

Decent Kill Power - In combination to his combo game, Mr. Game & Watch can finish off his opponents well enough in good interactions. It can be through a grab combo finisher, EdgeguardThe act of preventing the opponent from safely returning to the stage. sequences, powerful smash attacks, or a straight aerial kill on any stage' corners.

Very Light - Being the second light weight character in the game along with Jigglypuff (both of them being behind Pichu), Mr. Game & Watch has a very hard time surviving against dangerous hits without proper DI.

Mediocre Defensive Tools - Mr. Game & Watch has an agglomeration of many wrong, and strange, attributes that results into his mediocre defense on stage. First, he cannot L cancel most of his aerial attacks. Second, he has the worst shield in the game, which only covers the center of his body and leaves his head, feet, and hands exposed. In consequences, he is very susceptible to shield poke in many situations. Light shield compensates for that problem, it has more inconveniencies itself such as prolonging hitlag and having a lot of pushback when hit by an opponent.

Linear Toolset - While his tool kit makes his pros, Mr. Game & Watch is very predictable in terms of approaches in many important matchups. His safe, main approaching tools are Fair, Dair, and down tilt. While good, they can easily be avoided and exploited by an experienced player.

Below Average Frame Data - Although his moves have amazing range and long lasting hitboxes, his startup frames on many moves are very slow. While forward air and down air can be L canceled, their startup frames are okay to barely bad. His grounded tilts and smash attacks suffers the same, down tilt and jab being the fastest tools available to him.

Easy to Combo - His low weight in combination with high hitstun makes him susceptible to also get easy combos on him.

Average Speed - Mr. Game & Watch has a good wavedash and traction, but his dash, runspeed, and acceleration is average. Therefore, he can't outrun or keep up with top speed characters like fox, falco, falcon, and jigglypuff in the air.

Mr. Game and Watch flips a manhole cover plate from the ground. This is by far the best of all Mr. Game and Watch's grounded moves. The two hits of this move are distinct for grounded and aerial opponents, unlike most moves with multiple hits, which are usually clean/late. This unique property makes this move extremely good at both killing/comboing grounded opponents with its almost 90 degree trajectory, and edgeguarding airborne/offstage opponents with its very horizontal trajectory. This move originated from the Manhole Game and Watch.

Massive hitbox that covers the entire parachute as well as all of Mr. Game and watch except the bottom ~3/4 of his feet. Can be combo'd into by many of Mr. Game and Watch's kit, such as dtilt, utilt, uthrow, and dthrow to name a few. This move originates from Parachute.

Mr. Game and Watch smacks the opponent with a cement block. Very disjointed from Mr. Game and Watch, this move is very good at anti-approach, and, with good air-control, can be deceptively safe, even in neutral. Very useful overall tool, for combos, kills, and edgeguards. Certainly one of Mr. Game and Watch's best moves. This move originates from Mario's Cement Factory, however the object looks closer to the boxes from Game & Watch version of Mario Bros.

Mr. Game and Watch pulls out a river turtle to bite his opponents. Although this move cannot be L-cancelled, it is quite disjointed from Mr. Game and Watch, making it a good anti-approach move. Due to the way that the landing hit works - as in, no matter where you are in the animation, landing will cancel the current animation and play the landing animation - it is possible to hit opponents in a way that cannot be crouch-cancelled. This, along with the moves somewhat high damage, makes this a pretty effective anti-crouch-cancel tool, especially against tall or large-bodied characters. This move originates from Turtle Bridge. The turtle is colloquially known as "Franklin"

Mr. Game and Watch blows two air blasts upward. Niche combo extender, due it being difficult to land the second hit and the amount of landing lag, due to not being able to L-cancel the move. can be quite useful against floaties at lower-mid percents and on fastfallers at mid-higher percents in certain situations.

Mr. Game and Watch pulls out a key to hit below him. This move is quite versatile, being active for a whopping 26 frame, the first of which is a meteor smash. Has a lot of combo use, the meteor smash hitbox being able to set combo true into nair at kill percent for almost every character in the cast, and the late hit is quite strong itself at both comboing and killing. This move also gets a consistent -5 due to the landing hit, and it can be tricky to punish as fastfalling or not can change the timing that the landing hit comes out. This move originates from Donkey Kong Jr.

Mr. Game & Watch spawns two firemen with a trampoline which he then jumps off of. One of only 4 moves in the entire game to be frame 1. Linear, but extremely long recovery, this move along with his above-average air mobility allows Mr. Game & Watch to be more comfortable offstage than most of the rest of the cast. The length of this move, combined with it's extremely low landing lag and Mr.Game & Watch's obscene ledge-grab box disjoint, makes his recovery quite difficult to edgegaurd, leaving opponents with only the options to jump offstage to edgeguard him, or directly callout his attempt to grab ledge and steal it from him. This move is also the fastest out of shield option in the game, at frame 2.

Mr. Game & Watch pulls out a bucket that can absorb up to 3 charges of an energy-based projectile. Once all 3 charges are filled, doing this move again will instead do an oil spill. Percent damage is max damage Mr. Game & Watch can do. Absorb animation will loop every 32 frames until b is let go. Absorbing a projectile will give Mr. Game & Watch 25 frames of intangability, but that also comes along with 70 frames of total uncancelable animation. Only really useful to turn around in the air or stall while recovering. Maybe can be used against characters with energy projectiles that are also really slow, but generally, this move should be avoided.

Strategies

Overview

Mr. Game & Watch has a linear approach against most of the cast ranging from high to top tiers of melee. What most Game and watch players will look for to transition to an advantage state is baiting approaches to make his aerial tools (Fair and Dair) less obvious for the opponent. To make it easier, the game and watch player can have a convincing position to call out an approach from an opponent, then avoid the approaches with his decent movement options. Since Game and watch can move fast enough to fight well, it is generally the best idea to space his main approaching tool, which is forward air, and retreat to a safer range in order to avoid the opponent reaction, or continue another string of hits. This playstyle is commonly named "hit and run" in other fighting games.

Positioning and movement is essential to game and watch because it's his best ways to gain leverage against high and top tiers of melee.

Defense & Zoning

Mr. Game & watch has the worst defensive game of melee in terms of viability. He can occasionally block small front facing hitboxes, but will suffer shield pokes in every single sets if normal shield is used. Light shield is his best bet to avoid devastating hits, but like mentioned before, it traps him in hit lag with a lot of pushback, which in consequences put him in an awkward state to respond and react to the opponent's next move.

The saving grace of Game and watch' defense is power shielding, which is very hard to constantly do in game despite having a straightforward concept. If used well, he can reflect Falco's lasers, counterattack shine if the spaces does another move, block Marth forward smash, falcon' knee, etc. The applications are infinite for a hard mechanic of the game, but this is what to keep in mind whenever you powershield.

All this description may show an impossible aspect of game and watch defense, but what truly makes his defensive game is, again, movement and positioning. Game and watch can't block every move and gets awkward interactions when blocking with light shield, but what can change is to prioritize movement so that the player can avoid these situations in the first place. While it will eventually happen that the game and watch will have to shield in, for example, corner stage situations, it is vastly rewarding to wavedash, dash, or throw attack away from/around the opponent's options. This will not fully stop the opponent from brute forcing their way into your defensive options, but for the smallest options that Game and watch can have, it is worth the try to tackle different situations with movement and positioning that makes the opponent think before acting.
