Discuss Mr. Game and Watch specific game-play here.

Up-B is the best move in the game. Fight me.

Some Noticeable Differences of Game & Watch From the Main Series
1. His f-tilt has noticeably longer startup lag as he now draws the chair back before hitting, but hits harder, allowing it to KO easier.
2. Down air now can spike at any distance, whether you start it at a great distance or right on them (at least I think, I'll have to fact check myself)
3. His down air can also get a second hit box on the stage.
4. His fair has more knockback on enemies, but also has a lot of end lag if used near the ground, which can be beaten out by using b-air and n-air near the ground

5. His Nair does not have much knockback on a last hit
6. Down Special will in fact cancel momentum almost immediately, but will also cause you to have greater falling speed.
7. D-tilt hits harder and has more knockback, while also having a good windbox


These are stuff I have noticed, and if I am wrong you can correct me since I haven't played the game that much but have seen gameplay, and If I am missing anything, you can correct me

Don't forget the windbox which i havent had time to test out because of updating issues

Right, d-tilt has a pretty good windbox, it's a good move in general.

F-air is by far his best move:
1. has broken killing power
2. does lots of damage
3. can lead to follow ups and tech situations.

DEVS PLEASE BUFF F-SMASH KNOCKBACK

Fthrow confirms into judge at around 10-50 dependant on character so if you wanna test your luck thats a thing

[mouseover=][/mouseover] My favorite thing about G&W is down throw combos. If you mix up the throw and they miss the tech, you can get pretty high damage. My favorite is d-throw to nair to d-tilt to fair.

1. F-air also has major end lag if it misses which can lead to your death. Be careful of that.
2. Yes F-Smash is useless and gets beaten by up smash and down smash, with down smash being the best smash G & W has.

I have switched to Mr. Game & Watch as my main. It is indeed an exquisite choice. Unfortunately, Black Mage has been ruined.

Some G&W Tech Coming At You:
1. Down B great for mixing up recoveries
2. Jab into d-tilt is great combo, throw in a d-throw while you are it
3. d-throw only throw
4. Up Smash and Down Smash sweet spot are viable kill moves. F-smash is not (r.i.p)
5. N-air and B-air heavily
6. Judge is mind game of shield due to the fact that judge 4 breaks shields but if not shielded could result in 9.
7. d-air should be used alot above enemies to mix up recovery
8. F-air should be used, but not as much since it has a lot of end lag and can be punished easily

Stay 2-D my friends

when does his f-smash even kill, heck it's not even good for combos as well.

F-smash works weirdly. You have to have spacing between you opponents for it to be any good. It'll kill 69% uncharged at ledge with space. It's like tipper.... oh my god

No it doesn't
That's just 's Fastfall (Which is absurdly fast)
Try holding the down button in mid-air (Like hold down, and then jumping) and then use the bucket, it doesn't affect his falling speed at all*
*It does cancel most Upward momentum instantly and make you start falling, though^

^On the topic of Horizontal momentum, it doesn't stop near-insantly, it just slows you down quicker. Testing with a Bumper helps!

Hey im new here, but anyway yeah I am loving G&W! Such a fun character and feels good to play. I find myself using Up-b to down air a lot is that good?

Also I think a cool combo is down throw into up tilt into short hop nuetral air, fun way to rack up damage. Works if they tech in place though, or don't tech at all.

Do any of you guys have any other combos for G&W or any other tips with him? Also what is your favorite kill option, or what strategy do you use to get kills because I feel like he struggles with that a bit.

Thanks
