Smash Ultimate Mr. Game & Watch has extremely little landing lag on his aerial attacks, making him much stronger than previous games. Additionally, his Up Special (↑ + B) is tied with Little Mac's for the fastest Up B in the game at only 3 frames, allowing Game & Watch to punish nearly any move that hits his shield with an Up B Out of Shield.

Game & Watch does lack a lot of strong moves that will KO opponents, so he needs to make use of his aerials (such as Bair and Nair) to deal damage, and then use his down smash to bury opponents and follow with a forward smash, or edgeguard opponents to seal out the stock.

See Our Tier List Here!

Strengths	・Aerial attacks are all powerful and have long lasting hitboxes ・Rather small hurtbox allows him to dodge many attacks ・Chef (Neutral B) is good for ledge trapping ・Crouching allows him to dodge many attacks, and up special gives him invinsibility frames ・Very powerful recovery (Up B) which also works as an amazing out of shield option ・Good at edgeguarding thanks to F-air and B-air
Weaknesses	・Light, and gets KO'ed early ・Poor range ・Low damage output on most moves Often struggles to approach

It has a meteor hitbox on it as well, so it can be used to spike opponents offstage. Even when used on the stage, it has prettly low endlag, so it won't always lead to a punish unless used directly on a shield, where it is unsafe.

Side Special (Judge 2)	4,8	16

Mr. Game & Watch's up special has extremely quick startup and grants momentary intangibility, making it a use part of his gameplan. It can be used to snuff out an opponent's approach via an out of shield punish, or to whiff punish a moves end lag. It comes out on frame 3, and after connecting, can be followed up with an up air.

Mr. Game & Watch's down special will absorb energy-based projectiles, while reflecting physical ones. Once three energy projectiles have been absorbed, Game & Watch can release them to deal two times the damage of the strongest move absorbed.

The absorbed bucket stays with Game & Watch even if he loses a stock, so you can surprise an opponent with it right after coming back. The move is very good in matchups against characters like Pikachu or Samus, or rely on energy based projectiles for approaching or dealing damage.
