Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Mr. Game & Watch

Mr Game & Watch

Mr. Game & Watch needs to be unlocked.

The man from the land of 2D gaming makes his Second Appearance in the Smash Bros. Series.

One of the most under-rated characters in the game, and one of the most underestimated. Mr.Game&Watch appears slow to the eye, but his maneuverability in the air and his relatively quick and damaging air moves make for great combos.

Mr. Game and Watch's up-B move does damage, is very fast, and is one of the few recovery moves that doesn't make you vulnerable. He can cancel the attack into any smash attack or even quickly fall to the ground. This opens up many options. Also, if your opponent is hanging on the edge of a map with no wall, just a ledge, like Final Destination or Battlefield, you can use his up-B to attack the edge-hogger and they might just bounce off the ledge and be sent into the abyss.

Another good tactic is his downward throw combo. You can use many attacks after his downward throw, including Judge. His other throws can also lead into aerial attacks.

If you're fighting a 1-on-1 with a projectile user whose projectiles can be absorbed by Oil Panic, then at the start of the match back away slightly and your opponent's first instinct is to open fire. Absorb as many attacks as you can before they realize that their tactic won't work against you, then blast them with Oil Panic.

Mr. Game and Watch is 2D, which makes him one of the lightest characters in the game. During a battle where there is little time to KO people (e.g. in a free for all), generally Mr. Game and Watch will be picked on because he flies so far. Be careful of his weight weakness, and keep to the air where you can take on enemies one at a time. In the air, his down-A key attack can double hit, serving as a meteor smash. If your opponent is right next to you, use down-A which will trap the opponent and send them downward.

Mr. Game and Watch is very light, but has some powerful attacks. He has very good offense if used correctly, and decent defense with Oil Panic. His projectile does minimal damage, and his Final Smash is decent. His throws aren't great, but can initiate combos, and he moves at an average pace. However, his backwards air is a great approach option.

Mr. Game&Watch has two chain grabs. His first, use the down throw, then his neutral A (Air pump), then quickly grab the opponent and repeat. The second chain grab is a chase grab. Simply down-throw, then chase after your opponent and grab him again. Mr.Game&Watch can also slide-pivot-grab, however, he does not slide very far and this is hard to master.

Here is a video that exemplifies some of the skills explained above: Game and watch in the 9th sense! a brawl highlight video.

Smash +	++	(Smash +) or	(Smash +) or	Firae Attack	He pulls out a match, holds it over his head, then brings it down. This is one of Game-and-Watch's best KO moves because of its deceptively quick start-up and huge launch speed.
Smash +	++	(Smash +) or	(Smash +) or	Octopus: Helmet	He does an upward head attack with a diving helmet on. This is powerful, but much too slow, and has a very precise hit radius. Jump and use aerials instead.
Smash +	++	(Smash +) or	(Smash +) or	Vermin: Hammers	He does a double hammer attack on the ground. It is reasonably fast, but pales in comparison to most of Game-and-Watch's A-moves.
